How to Adjust your Birkenstocks
-
Before every day wear of your Birkenstocks, place one hand under the toe and one under the heel, and flex the footbed a few times. This will initiate the break in period and allow for a more comfortable fit.
-
Open all the straps and step into the footbed. Close the straps comfortably, leaving enough space to allow your feet the freedom to move.
-
Feet should be able to move freely without your toes hitting the edge of the footbed.
How to Care for your Birkenstocks
-
Avoid extreme heat and do not leave in direct sunlight for long periods of time- this can damage the cork footbeds and EVA soles
-
Most styles should not be immersed in water. Over saturation can compromise the integrity of the sealant materials. Birkenstock Essentials styles are waterproof however, and made of a one piece synthetic EVA material.
-
If your shoes become wet, allow them to air dry slowly, away from direct heat
