FAQs
How do I determine the correct Birkenstock size?
Birkenstock sizing is unique. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the Birkenstock size chart. The Madrid model features an anatomically shaped footbed, so ensuring the correct length and width is crucial for comfort.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
While the EVA sole is water-resistant, the nubuck leather upper and suede insole are not. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather and suede, affecting their appearance and comfort. They are not recommended for swimming or activities involving submersion in water.
How should I clean the large buckle?
The metal buckle can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. If there are stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
Is the nubuck leather waterproof?
No, nubuck leather is not inherently waterproof. It is susceptible to water damage and staining. Using a protective spray specifically designed for nubuck and suede is highly recommended to improve water and stain resistance.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary from person to person. Many find initial comfort within a few wears, while others may need a week or two of intermittent wear for the footbed to fully mold to their foot's unique shape.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The anatomically shaped cork footbed offers good support and can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with relatively flat feet. However, for severe conditions, consulting with a podiatrist is advised.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the strap using the large metal pin buckle for a customized fit. Ensure the strap is properly threaded through the buckle.
Footbed feels stiff initially.
The anatomically shaped cork and latex footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.
Leather appears dry or has minor scuffs.
Use a nubuck/suede brush to gently buff away light marks. For dryness, apply a suitable nubuck conditioner sparingly, following product instructions.
Sandal makes squeaking noises.
This can sometimes happen due to moisture or friction. Ensure the footbed and upper are dry. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole or around the buckle area might help reduce noise.
