FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork-latex footbed are not waterproof and should be kept dry.
How should I clean the gold material?
Wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
Do I need to size up or down?
Birkenstock sizes are generally true to fit, but it is recommended to ensure there is a small gap at the heel and toe when standing.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is durable, it is not designed to be removable or replaced; however, with proper care, it lasts for years.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, once the footbed has broken in, the anatomical design is excellent for long-distance walking comfort.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
Wear the sandals for short periods indoors for the first few days to allow the cork to warm up and adapt to your foot shape.
Buckles feel tight or loose
Adjust the metal pin buckles on each strap individually to ensure the tension is distributed evenly across your instep.
Minor surface stains on suede
Use a dry suede brush or a dedicated suede eraser to gently buff away small marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals last, proper care is essential. When you first receive your pair, adjust the metal pin buckles so the straps sit comfortably against your skin without being overly tight. If the suede lining becomes dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging your sandals in water. If you are caught in a light drizzle, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the cork to dry out and crack. Store them in a cool, dry place to keep the gold finish looking pristine.
