Step 2: Cleaning the Footbed

Step 2: 
Cleaning the Footbed

The footbed needs extra love because it absorbs moisture and dirt from your feet.

 

Shake the Footbed & Shoe Cleaner well.

 

Spray directly onto the suede footbed.

 

Gently scrub using the Application Brush in small circles.

 

Wipe away any excess with a clean cloth.

 

Let your Birks dry naturally — no direct sunlight or heaters!

Cleaning the Uppers 

Step 3 : Cleaning the Uppers

Depending on what material your Birkenstocks are made from:

 

For leather uppers, wipe gently with a damp cloth, then apply Leather Conditioner to keep them looking fresh and prevent cracking.

 

For suede uppers, just use your Application Brush to lift dirt and dust without water.

Step 4: 
Protect the cork 

Step 4 : Protect the cork 

Over time, the cork can dry out and crack — but you can easily prevent it with the Birkenstock Cork Sealer.

 

Apply a thin layer of cork sealer to the exposed cork edges.

 

Let it dry fully before wearing your shoes again.

 

Pro Tip: Seal your cork every few months for maximum protection.
