Isn't there some kind of warranty for Birkenstock sandals?

The cork on my fiance's sandles are wearing down and I think I remember something I heard a long time ago about Birkenstock having a warranty with their shoes such as if the cork on the bottom of the sandals wears down, they will replace them? Anyone hear of this?

There is no warranty on Birkenstocks, although the store you bought them from will help you out if the shoes are defective.





It is normal for the exposed cork on Birkenstocks sandals to show wear over time. To avoid this in the future,apply cork seal whenever the shiny look on your exposed cork begins to dull. By using the cork seal, your sandals will last longer.





Also, if you resole your Birkenstocks before you wear the sole down into the cork, they will last alot longer and will be less expensive to repair. Look for an authorized Birkenstock repair shop to have them resoled, or to do cork work. A new sole with major cork work will cost at least $50.00. It might be worth getting a new pair!

Reply:I believe there is a six month warranty if you don't like them. As for the cork to be replaced, I would email Birkenstock and find out. That's probably the best bet.
Reply:I've had LOADS of birks and have never heard that. But, if you have a store that has gotten them made for you, they might give a warrantee.. if not, you might go to the shoe-hospital and get the cork replaced! Still a LOT cheaper than a new pair of birks!
