Cleaning and Caring for your Favorite Birkenstocks

Published on

When it comes to trendy, durable, and comfortable footwear, BIRKENSTOCK seems to be a trend that never dies.  If you have a pair of BIRKENSTOCK sandals then you know how comfortable they are. The signature cork-latex footbed molds to the shape of your feet and provides the perfect amount of support to take care of your feet and joints as you walk. This German-crafted footwear is exactly what keeps your feet happy. Whether it is a casual outing with friends or a walk in the park with your pet, your BIRKENSTOCK sandals are with you. As you wear these comfy sandals a lot, they can start looking a little grimy unless you take care of them regularly. Here are a few essential tips on how to take care of your Birkenstock sandals and clean them so that you can keep your Birkenstocks as happy as they keep you:

The care essentials you need to keep handy are:-

  1. Clean Cloth
  2. Nubuck/Suede Brush
  3. A water and stain repellent
  4. Colorless leather conditioner

Keep your Birkenstocks away from heat

The most important rule for caring for your Birkenstocks is never to expose them to extreme heat. The cork-latex footbed and EVA soles, both don’t do well when exposed to heat sources like hairdryers, fireplaces, radiators, sunlight, etc. as the cork may dry up and crack.

Protect from stains

BIRKENSTOCK uppers are made from leather, suede, nubuck, and Birko-Flor. Maintaining them is quite easy. Proactively protect them from water damage and stains from day one. You can easily do so by using water and stain repellent. Just brush the leather/suede/nubuck upper with the suede/nubuck brush to remove any dirt or loose particle. Then apply the water repellent and let it air dry. Use the leather conditioner to maintain the oiled leather uppers.
