How does the Zermatt fit compared with other Birkenstock styles?

It uses the same narrow-width footbed as Birkenstock's narrow sandals, so it fits similarly. If you normally take the regular width, this one will feel snug.

Can I wear these outdoors?

They are house slippers. The wool felt upper is not water-resistant and the sole is not built for wet or rough ground, so keep them indoors or on dry, flat surfaces.

Is the footbed removable?

Yes. The cork-latex footbed sits in the felt upper and can be lifted out, which lets it air out and dry.

No. The shearling lining is soft against bare skin. Some owners wear thin socks in colder months for extra warmth.

How do I clean the felt upper?

Brush off dry dirt and spot clean with a damp cloth, then let them air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash them.

Are they good for someone with plantar fasciitis?

The contoured footbed gives more arch support than a flat slipper, which many people with foot pain prefer. It is not a medical orthotic, so check with a clinician if you need correction.
