FAQs
Is the Mantova suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckle strap allows for some customization of fit. However, due to the nature of the suede upper and the footbed design, it may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet. Trying them on is recommended.
How do I clean the taupe suede?
Use a specialized suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser can be used. It's advisable to treat the suede with a protective spray suitable for this material to guard against dirt and moisture.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in the rain as it can damage the material and affect its color and texture. A waterproofing spray can offer some protection, but it's best to avoid wet conditions.
What is the footbed made of?
The footbed is made from a combination of natural cork and latex, providing cushioning and arch support that conforms to your foot's shape over time.
Does this shoe offer arch support?
Yes, the Mantova features Birkenstock's signature anatomically shaped cork and latex footbed, which is designed to provide excellent arch support and promote proper foot alignment.
What type of socks are best with the Mantova?
Given the suede insole, it's generally recommended to wear these without socks or with thin, breathable socks to allow the footbed to mold correctly and to prevent excessive moisture build-up.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser may be effective.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially
The cork and latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow them to break in.
Buckle strap is too loose or too tight
Adjust the metal buckle to the appropriate hole on the strap to achieve a personalized and secure fit.
Shoes got wet
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
