FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Birkenstock sizing can be unique. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the Birkenstock size chart. If possible, try them on in person, paying attention to the heel and toe spacing.
Can I wear these in water?
While the Birko-Flor® upper can handle light moisture, these flip flops are not designed for prolonged submersion. Avoid wearing them in swimming pools or for activities where they will get thoroughly wet.
How long does the footbed take to break in?
The break-in period varies per individual. Most users find them comfortable after a few days of moderate wear, during which the footbed adapts to their foot's contours.
Is the blue color fade-resistant?
The blue color of the Birko-Flor® upper is designed for durability. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can eventually cause fading. Store them away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Yes, Birkenstock sandals are known for their supportive, anatomically designed footbeds, which can be beneficial for individuals with flat feet by providing arch support.
What is Birko-Flor® made of?
Birko-Flor® is a Birkenstock-developed material that is a blend of acrylic and polyamide felt, with a smooth, leather-like finish. It is durable and easy to clean.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction. Ensure the footbed and straps are dry. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help, or check if the sole is rubbing against the footbed.
Footbed feels too firm initially
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. This allows the footbed to conform to your unique foot shape.
Straps feel loose or tight
Use the metal buckle on the strap to adjust the fit. Loosen it if it feels too tight, or tighten it for a more secure feel.
Material shows minor scuffs
Minor scuffs on the Birko-Flor® can often be buffed out with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized Birko-Flor® cleaner may be used sparingly.
