Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the contoured footbed is designed for long-term comfort, though it is recommended to build up time gradually if you are new to Birkenstock arch support.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is integrated into the construction of the shoe; for optimal hygiene and longevity, maintain it with regular cleaning.
Does the size 5 UK fit true to size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally generous. Ensure your heel sits comfortably in the deep heel cup and your toes do not touch the front edge.
Are these clogs waterproof?
No, they are made of oiled leather and natural cork; avoid deep puddles and do not machine wash or submerge them in water.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
You can wear them either with or without socks; the suede lining is designed to be comfortable against bare skin.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff and uncomfortable initially
Wear the clogs for short periods at home with socks to help the leather soften and the footbed mold to your unique foot shape.
Footbed appears dry or brittle
Apply a small amount of cork sealant along the exposed edges of the cork footbed to prevent drying and maintain structural integrity.
Suede lining has collected debris
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft toothbrush to gently lift and remove dirt from the footbed surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Naples clogs, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Since the upper is made of oiled leather, periodically applying a leather conditioner helps maintain the suppleness of the material and prevents cracks. Avoid exposing your clogs to direct heat sources like radiators, as this can dry out the cork and leather. If the suede-lined footbed becomes soiled, use a dry, soft brush to remove dust or light debris. For the leather exterior, wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt, and allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool area away from sunlight.
