FAQs
Are the straps real leather?
Yes, the Birkenstock Kumba features an oiled nubuck leather upper.
Can I get these sandals wet?
It is recommended to keep the Kumba dry. Oiled leather and the cork footbed can be damaged by excessive moisture or submersion.
How do I know my size?
Birkenstock sizes are based on European standards. Refer to the size guide to match your specific UK size to the corresponding Birkenstock fit.
Does the Kumba provide arch support?
Yes, the Kumba uses the traditional contoured Birkenstock footbed which provides significant arch support and heel cup stability.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is a permanent part of the shoe construction. Proper care will allow the footbed to last for many years of regular use.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for 1-2 hours at a time for the first week to let the cork-latex compress and adapt to your foot.
Buckle strap feels too loose or tight
The Kumba features multiple adjustment points. Carefully re-adjust the instep strap to find the tension that secures your heel without pinching your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Kumba sandals, avoid direct exposure to extreme heat or prolonged moisture, as this can damage the leather and the cork-latex core of the footbed.
- Fitting: Adjust the instep buckle so the strap holds your foot firmly against the footbed without causing pressure points.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dust from the nubuck leather. If the leather gets wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the buckles to ensure they remain functional and free of debris.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
