Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks remain in top condition, it is important to treat the suede material with a protective water-repellent spray before initial use. Keep the sandals away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as this can cause the cork footbed to dry out and crack. To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to lift dust and surface stains. If the buckles become stiff, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant can keep them moving smoothly. Ensure you are wearing your correct UK size, as the arch support is positioned specifically for the intended foot shape.
