Both the footbed and the sole are replaceable, through a cobbler or Birkenstock's own repair service. That is the real argument for the price. Suede is soft from the first wear because there is no surface finish to break in — and no surface finish to protect it either. A protector spray from day one is not optional.
The footbed is moulded rather than mouldable — support comes from a fixed shape, so there is no break-in period and no personalisation either.
Most of these are built on EU lasts and converted inconsistently to US sizing. Where you can, work from the EU number.
Condition every six to eight weeks for daily-wear shoes. More often than that and you soften the leather past the point where it holds shape.
