To extend the life of your Birkenstock or other cork based shoe/sandal we recommend the following things take place.
Avoid extreme heat as cork tends to curl or soles may shrink.
Keep an eye on the areas where cork is exposed such as a heel or toe. When the existing seal wears thin, reapplying a cork sealant such as Birkenstock's cork life will help them look nicer and last longer.
Have repair work done on the shoes before you wear them through the soles and into the cork.
Pre-treat the uppers with a leather protector like Birkenstock's leather protectant to keep spills on the surface. Several mistings are recommended verses a single saturation. |
