FAQs
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed is removable, allowing you to replace it with a new pair or your own custom orthotics.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to make them water-resistant, but they should be kept out of heavy rain.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally consistent, but because they are designed to mold to your foot, ensure you have enough room for your toes to splay naturally.
What is the midsole made of?
The midsole is constructed using a blend of polyurethane (PU) and natural cork to provide superior shock absorption.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the cork-latex structure. Only spot clean with appropriate suede care products.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
Cork-latex requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
Suede has minor surface stains
Use a suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift the stain without using water.
Inner lining feeling damp
Remove the footbed after use to allow the shoe interior to ventilate properly and dry out overnight.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent arch support from the signature footbed
- Removable footbed allows for personalized fit or orthotic use
- High-quality suede construction for a premium feel
- Extra cushioning from the integrated PU/cork midsole
- Breathable design suitable for extended daily wear
Cons
- Suede material is sensitive to moisture and staining
- Requires a break-in period for the cork-latex to fully adapt
- Not intended for heavy-duty outdoor or athletic sports use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, ensure you are wearing the type of socks you intend to use daily when trying them on. Since the cork-latex footbed is removable, you can swap it out if you have custom orthotics, though most users find the stock version ideal for long-term comfort.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and refresh the nap of the material.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water repellent spray before initial wear to guard against minor spills.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or the cork from drying out excessively.
- Avoid Moisture: If they become wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature; never force dry with heat, as this can damage the leather and cork.
