@@victoriaelena3846 This happened about 10 years ago to my favorite pair of double strap sandals. I still wear them but just for working outside because it did fade the navy color. I was worried about all the nasty stuff in the sewer but also raccoons (they killed 13 neighborhood cats and kittens that year) were coming up from the sewer and they have all kinds of nasty diseases that I didn't want to bring into the house. I was disappointed that the color faded and also the footbed was stiff after they dried and stayed that way. If I ever had to do it again I would probably just use Lysol or Clorox wipes if I could find some.

i have shoes from SAS that have similar footbeds. the one thing that is different from your instructions is brushing the footbed with a dry brush first. it works really great to loosen up the gunk and then continue like you indicated. the salesman also suggested 5 or 6 light passes with Scotchguard to prevent some of the problem in the first place. i did try it on a new pair of sandles. it did nake it just a little darker, or a richer shade.

My variables were using Ajax soap instead of Dawn, and using a walmart shoe brush instead of the toothbrush.

Here’s the thing, the footprints do get removed from the footbed. But what I disliked was the new texture. The shoes weren’t as comfortable and they felt rough/dry. Not to mention that my shoes developed an odor. I have 16 pairs of Birkenstock’s and have never had an issue with odor except for with my first pair because I attempted to clean them using this method.

thanks for that info on the Birkenstocks. I was wondering that same thing when I cleaned mines. However I never used the baking soda with dawn. I also found you can use a leather Moisturiser cleaner on the leather birkenstocks. ------ Originally the oils from the meterials and your foot is supposed to make the foot bed settle in when you get a new Pair just like a Louis Vuitton bag handle that changes Patina over time same for birks footbed. The only down fall is the way it looks like dingy and ugly. I wish they just make any incert for them. cheers !

I agree. I wore my Birks through a rather damp field last year (didn't realize the grass was wet until it was too late to turn back) and even wiping the dirt and mud off of the front half of the foot bed with a damp cloth, it was quite quite crusty and dry. I ended up replacing them.

​@@abraoeser5910 What were your results like? Mine were only roughly 7 months old when I did this to them and the footbed wasn't even fully broken in. I simply disliked the footprint being so dark so I thought this would help remove it... It did remove the prints but then I noticed they made my feet smell weird. Not horrible but it had like an old leather smell. I think this could help if the footbed was extremely really dirty, like 3+ years of sweat and so forth.

NO don’t do it , they go hard and stink after ! The only way you can do it a bit say near the toe box when newer , no where else is with suede cleaner Spray it’s kinda foamy , but even that makes them go harder. Birks are supposed to mold to Foot and they eventually go shiny and more solid as the soft suede layer under the foot meshes with The cork that’s when their nicely broken in and comfy. People wrongly assume their dirty but they Are ment to look the way they do. Prehaps saddle soap could help but personally after 3 pairs I found the least you do to them the better ! A clean dry toothbrush with nothing else revives them best. Enjoy ya birks there cute in there own way 😘

this happened to me. just use a nubuck eraser block instead of doing this. i had to throw away 2 perfectly good pairs and replace them because of this! just get a nubuck or suede eraser (it’s the stone-like thing on the end of the birkenstock brush) and go at them! it can’t hurt them, because they’re suede lined. like a regular eraser, it leaves shavings, so you can brush that off with the brush. it wears down, however, so i would get a stand-alone block for that purpose. just do a dry cleaning, it’s way better and less risk of ruining your shoes

Leonor Zavala here’s a few things you can do: - get a suede brush and brush them out. get one that has wire bristles. it’ll help to loosen some stuff up. - get some fine-grit sandpaper. i know, it sounds crazy, but it’s a thing that cobblers do to help get dry dirt and other things out of suede. i use 220 grit but you can probably go a tad coarser. sanding the surface will bring the nap back up (you’ll start to see the fibers get released from the dirty surface), and it will get rid of the dirt. alternate between sanding and brushing, sanding and brushing until you’ve got the nap back and the dirt out. - get a suede eraser for normal use. there’s usually one on the back of the birkenstock cleaning kit brush. it does the same thing as the sandpaper: removes dirt, but you can be much more aggressive with it. sandpaper you need to be more careful. - if you’re going to use soap and water, use a suede shampoo. dilute it HEAVILY (it should be barely soapy) and use a horsehair brush to work it in, and then wipe away the foam. then, rinse the brush of the soap and use water to work the rest of the soap residue out. it does take a while, so i only recommend washing when your feet start to stain/when the shoes start to stink (once per month) -

I've used a suede eraser, brush, and and/or cleaner, if necessary when prepping suede shoes to resell. But I recently sold a pair of work boots for $140, which I had scrubbed a couple times with suede cleaner and water. The buyer contacted me after wearing the boots twice and said the soles separated from the boots. I was shocked and puzzled because I'd sold an identical pair last year which came from the same owner and the man who bought them never reported any trouble. However I hadn't scrubbed that first pair before selling because they didn't have any stains. The buyer of the second pair provided pics of the damage, so I felt it was only right to refund all his money, including shipping. After looking it up, it seems that polyurethane midsoles can become brittle if they get wet, and/or as they age. You can't see the damage because it's inside the shoe. I've heard of doing a bend test on shoes like Danskos, for this very reason (bend them as much as possible at the sole to make sure they don't crack in half), but I had no idea this other brand of shoes I'd sold might do this. They were Asolo brand. Now I'm leery of wetting/scrubbing any expensive shoes that might have multiple layers in the soles, for fear of ruining them.😬 Just curious, have you or anyone else reading this experienced this type of trouble with Birks after getting them wet during cleaning?

Don't do this. Getting the insole wet can allow moisture to go into the footbed. They can get stinky. Especially if you wear them wet. The insoles are suede and are smoothed out from pressure. They are not dirty. No one can see your footprint while you are wearing them.

Your feet don't sweat at all? There is already a bunch of moisture getting into the leather and the footbed from normal wear. These absolutely should be cleaned with soap and water and then allowed to fully dry. Then use a suede brush to bring the fibers of the suede back up. Finally, they should be conditioned with a spray on conditioner formulated specifically for suede. Pretty much the same goes for the oiled nubuck, except you shouldn't brush them with a suede brush, but use a normal show brush.

@@peterschenck4067 Sweat is not water. Water gets into the footbed and compromises the cork and sealant. A damp cloth on oiled or waxy uppers is about it. You can use an antimicrobial spray on the insole for odor. I think these videos are for people who don't really understand footwear, or are cleaning worn shoes to resell them. Don't really want to argue. Sounds like you've polished a shoe or two. Just know, its definitely not my first rodeo.

I have a pair of NAOTS that I tried to clean with Dawn. As soon as the footbed got wet, there was a nasty odor, like Mildew, coming from them. I got them at the bins. I'll try this mixture and see what happens.

I just use an all purpose cleaner and get the same results. One thing I don't like is one of my sandals started squeaking when I walk. It's the clean bed against my feet - very annoying. I've had the same Birkies for 15 years and they're still fab.
