FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the traditional cork-latex footbed is not waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
How long do they take to break in?
Most users find a break-in period of 2 to 4 weeks of regular wear is sufficient to achieve maximum comfort.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is not replaceable, professional cobblers can often perform repairs on worn soles or straps.
Do I need to size up or down?
Birkenstocks generally run true to size, but refer to the UK sizing guide provided for this specific model.
How do I clean the straps?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust; for stubborn dirt, use a barely damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too hard.
This is normal for new pairs; wear them for short durations indoors until the cork-latex blend begins to flex and conform to your foot shape.
Straps feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the metal buckles one hole at a time to find the correct tension, ensuring your foot is secure but not constricted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care is essential to extending the life of your Birkenstock sandals.
- Fitting: Ensure the straps are adjusted so your foot sits comfortably within the heel cup without sliding off the edges.
- Break-in: Start by wearing them for an hour or two a day to allow the materials to soften.
- Cleaning: Wipe the footbed with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, avoiding direct heat sources like heaters or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather or cork.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving them in hot cars where the adhesive could potentially soften.
