Men's Birkenstock Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are Birkenstocks true to size?
Generally, yes, but paying attention to the width is key. Birkenstock offers two widths: "Regular" (indicated by an open foot symbol on the footbed) and "Narrow" (indicated by a filled-in foot symbol). For most standard feet, a Birkenstock "Narrow" width fits like a traditional regular fit, while the "Regular" width is best suited for broader feet or those who prefer a roomier feel.
What is the difference between Birkenstock Leather and Birko-Flor?
Birkenstock uses premium, thick oiled or suede leather for their classic styles, which softens beautifully and molds to your feet over time. Birko-Flor is Birkenstock’s proprietary alternative—it is a high-quality, tear-resistant, and animal-friendly synthetic material with a soft fleece lining that requires virtually no break-in period and is very easy to clean.
Can you get Birkenstocks wet?
Classic cork and leather Birkenstocks should not be submerged in water, as excessive moisture can damage the cork footbed and compromise the glue. If you are looking for a water-friendly option for the beach, pool, or garden, we highly recommend the Birkenstock EVA range, which is made entirely from a lightweight, waterproof, and washable synthetic material.
How long does it take to break in Birkenstocks?
Because of the highly supportive nature of the anatomically shaped cork footbed, it typically takes 1 to 2 weeks of intermittent wear to fully break them in. We recommend wearing them for just a few hours a day around the house initially until the cork flexes and custom-molds to your unique footprint.
