Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity, treat your suede Birks with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray before the first use. If the suede becomes dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift debris or nap back into place. For the footbed, wipe with a damp cloth if needed, but avoid submerging the shoes in water or exposing them to excessive heat, which can crack the cork. Because these are sold in specific sizes, ensure you select your correct UK adult size to allow for the slight movement required for proper gait alignment. If the buckle feels loose over time, ensure the prong is securely engaged in the appropriate hole.
