Using the Suede Brush

Using the Suede Brush

1 min read

The brass bristled wired Suede Brush can be used to clean and restore the look and texture of the suede materials on your Birkenstocks.

Through wearing and enjoying your suede Birkenstocks, the material may collect dust and form markings. As suede is a textured material these markings and dust can often be brushed out with our Suede Brush. As our original footbed liners are made from suede, you can use the Suede Brush to restore and maintain the texture of the footbed liner.

Cleaning Suede Leather

Step 1: Before brushing the Suede Leather, ensure that the material is dry.

Step 2: Open the straps or remove the laces from your Birkenstocks.

Step 3: Using the Suede Brush, brush the suede using light pressure to restore the hairy texture and loosen dirt. If dirt starts to build up simply tap the shoes above a cloth to dispose of it.

Step 4: As an extra step to protect your Birkenstocks from future markings and dirt, apply the Footbed and Shoe Protector to the uppers.

 

Cleaning your Footbed liner

Step 1: Open the straps or remove the laces from your Birkenstocks.

Step 2: Apply moderate pressure while using the Suede Brush in circular motions. If loosened dirt starts to build up, light brush strokes over a bin can dispose of it.

Step 3: Once the material is brushed and restored to it's hairy texture, you can simply brush all excess dirt and material off. Please note that some markings may still remain as these markings are a sign of a worn in pair, this is expected.

Measuring Tips

We recommend using a pencil or a ballpoint pen.

A thick pen can distort the result.

It’s best to measure your feet in the evening as they may expand during the day.
