FAQs
How do I break in my new Birkenstocks?
Wear them for short periods around the house for the first week. This allows the heat of your feet to soften the footbed.
Can these sandals get wet?
While durable, they are not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or submersion to preserve the cork and upper materials.
Are these suitable for arch support?
Yes, the anatomically shaped footbed is specifically designed to provide orthotic-style arch support.
How should I clean the suede uppers?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and keep the nap looking fresh.
Will the grey color fade?
As with any natural material, some minor color variation may occur over time, but keeping them out of direct sunlight helps maintain the original shade.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
Wear the sandals for short intervals daily to allow the cork-latex to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Surface debris on the footbed
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry cloth to gently lift dirt from the footbed liner.
Strap feels too tight
Adjust the buckles to a looser setting, ensuring you maintain a secure fit without restricting circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper maintenance is essential. First, confirm your size matches your standard UK shoe measurement, keeping in mind that the structured footbed should cradle your heel and arch without significant sliding. For care, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can dry out the cork. If the suede or upper materials become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the sandals in water, and if they do become damp, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
