FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the London model is not waterproof and should be kept away from excessive water or rain to protect the cork and leather.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your toes should not touch the front rim, and your heel should sit comfortably within the heel cup.
Can I wear socks with the London?
Yes, many users prefer wearing them with socks, especially during cooler seasons.
How long does it take to break them in?
Generally, it takes about 10 to 14 days of regular wear for the footbed to adapt to your foot shape.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Birkenstocks are known for their generous, anatomically-shaped width, making them generally comfortable for wide feet.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
This is normal. Wear the shoes for short periods daily to allow the cork to mold to your foot.
Buckle or strap feels loose
Adjust the strap setting to a tighter hole to secure the fit across the instep.
Cork edges look dry
Apply a thin layer of cork sealant to maintain flexibility and prevent crumbling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock London shoes last, follow these maintenance guidelines. When starting out, wear them for short intervals to allow the cork to soften. For compatibility, ensure you are wearing the correct UK 8 size; there should be a small gap between your heel and the edge of the shoe. To clean, use a soft brush to remove dust from the upper, and use a dedicated cork sealant if you notice the edges becoming dry or brittle. Avoid leaving them near direct heat sources, such as radiators, as this can cause the cork and leather to crack.
