Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks maintain their longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in Phase: Wear the sandals for short periods during the first week to allow the cork to adapt to your foot shape.
- Avoid Extreme Heat: Keep the sandals away from radiators, heat vents, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as extreme heat can damage the cork and straps.
- Cleaning: Wipe the footbed with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. The upper straps can be cleaned using a soft brush or leather-safe cleaner depending on the material finish.
- Moisture Prevention: While they are durable, they are not designed for submersion in water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a shaded area.
