How do I know if the fit is correct?
There should be a small gap between your toes and the front edge, and your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup.
Is the cork footbed waterproof?

How long does it take to break them in?
Depending on usage frequency, it typically takes a few weeks for the footbed to fully mold to your foot.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
The cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period; wear them for short intervals until the cork conforms to your foot shape.
Buckle feels loose or too tight
Adjust the metal pin buckle to a different hole on the strap to achieve a secure fit over the instep.
Leather looks dry or dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for the specific leather type to restore suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper care is essential. Upon first use, adjust the metal buckle so the strap holds your foot securely without being too tight; you should be able to slide a finger between the strap and your foot. Avoid exposing the leather or cork to extreme heat, such as direct sunlight or radiators, as this can cause materials to crack. If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. To maintain the integrity of the suede lining, use a soft suede brush to remove debris periodically. If the cork sides begin to look dull, a thin layer of cork sealant can be applied to maintain flexibility and prevent drying.
