WHEN YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR FOOTWEAR

Unbuckle all the straps and place your feet in the shoes. Make sure your heels are all the way back in the heelcups, but not hard against, or over the contours. The contours of the footbed should correspond to your own arches and the toe grips should fit comfortably beneath your toes.

Before you stand up, look to see if there is about 1cm of extra space for your toes and your heels and about 5mm on each side of your feet. You'll need this extra room because your feet will expand when you stand and walk.

Buckle the straps. Support comes from the footbed, not from tightly buckled straps. A securely fastened toe strap should be enough to keep your foot firmly in the footbed. Other straps can be worn loosely.

Please be careful when buying your Birkenstocks that you get the correct length as well as width. You should have a few millimeters of space in the heel and toe areas. Your toes should not touch the cork wall at the front nor should your heel touch the back. This will improve the longevity of your Birkenstocks.

BREAKING IN YOUR BIRKENSTOCKS

Adjust to your new shoes gradually, as they may introduce new movements to the muscles in your feet and legs. Although your shoes may feel rather rigid at first, their flexibility will increase with wear. Leather straps will become more supple and the footbeds will adjust slightly to your feet.

Once your shoes have been "broken in", the footbeds will have a slight upward curve where your toes bend when you walk. You can get a head start by bending them at the toe with your hands. This will soften the footbed and make it easier to walk in your new shoes.

We try to be as flexible as we can, as we know that it is not easy with sizes!

CORK & FOOTBED CARE

 WATER EXPOSURE

Do not immerse in water
Our shoes should not be immersed in water as the glues and sealants can dissolve and the leather can become hard and brittle. If the buckles are exposed to salt water, carefully rinse them to avoid corrosion. If Birkenstocks become wet, allow them to dry slowly, away from direct heat. Our EVA collection is the only range that has been designed for use in and around water.

CORK-CARE

Please inspect your cork footbeds regularly. If cracks appear apply cork sealant as described above. If the cork breaks down too far the only option is to replace the entire footbed including the EVA sole unit. This is called recycling.

HEAT WARNING

Both the cork and the soles of your Birkenstocks can be damaged by exposure to concentrated heat. Do not leave your shoes in closed cars on warm days and keep them away from radiators and fireplaces. If your shoes become wet, allow them to dry slowly, away from direct heat.

AIRING

The footbed is constructed of layers of jute and cork covered in a suede lining. The footbed is designed to absorb moisture from your feet. It is recommended to air your footbeds regularly to prevent a build up of odours which occur from excess moisture.
