Thank miss so much for a close up of the birds and the entire video so awesome!

That’s a great investment! When I bought my Birks, the salesman told me that I should also get the care kit! At first I thought is just another gimmick to spend more money! But good thing I did purchased that kit! It’s a great kit if you want to keep your sandals to last a long time.👌😎👍I actually got the same color you where showing! Love them so far!

So happy to hear that you purchased the kit and that you are loving your Birks! The cork seal is really the hidden gem in that kit - set a reminder on your calendar to reseal your cork every 3-5 months. It seriously helps with the longevity of your shoes and don't forget that they are repairable. When you have reached a point where you are in need of a new pair, consider a recraft instead. It is more affordable than a new pair of leather Birks and it's great for the environment as well. If there is no one in your area that offers this service, we hope you remember us! Enjoy your Birks!

I love these !! I just bought the suede and I know I’m going to wreck them 😭

This was definitely helpful! Also can you please do an in depth video on how to use the kit on a pair of used Birkenstocks I would love to see how exactly to use my kit and to see the outcome 😄 I've tried looking up a video for using the kit but I was never able to find one 🙁

Hi loved this video, I have the tobacco Arizona and have a few spots on the straps. How do I clean it off? No idea what was dropped on it.

I would love to know how to actually darken Arizona tobacco, I had to buy that color as the darker version was not available in my size and I thought I'd just darken it, but I can't find anything tutos about that, thank you,

hi and thank you for this video, I have cognac big buckle Arizona Birkenstocks my leather has darkened and I want to bring it back so it’s original cognac color do you have any tips on how I can do that ?

Where do you get that rubbery strip you are showing in the video? Do you sell them?

Lol, I've Tried this on my leather Hat, Last year, The Texture has been changed, and the Color Get Lighter, But But, After a while, After I oiled the Leather, The original Color back to it again, And, the surprise thing is, I actually Liked it that Way ...

I have the exact opposite problem. I ordered Tobacco Brown Oiled Leather Arizona sandals. I got Tobacco Brown Arizona sandals, minus the "oiled leather" aspect. They don't have my size of what I ordered to replace what I got with. So, how do I make my Tobacco Brown Arizona's into Oiled Leather? Is there a stain (not paint) specifically for this? Or a two step process; stain and oil? What type of oil would be best? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Those two colors are brand spankin' new, so no, we have not tried lightening those colors yet. It would be interested to see for sure!

Thank you for this video, so helpful! Could you tell me the name of the rubber material you use in this one, or do you sell that material? And, do you recommend using the water & stain repellent after lightening, to protect the leather? Or, will that just darken them back up? Thank you so much!!

How can I darken my Birkenstock Arizona Tobacco oiled leather shoes to give them a more variated look with deeper tones? I do not want the entire shoe to be all the same color, mine came lighter than I would have preferred (similar to what this original shoe looked like in this video. I am essentially wanting the opposite of this, to go darker in tone (in spots, not all over) vs lighter and haven't came across any other tutorials so hoping you can help. Thank you in advance!

What if you want your tobacco birks darker ?

I have 9 pairs to clean, I have them repaired at cobbler shop but they didn't clean them. Can I send them in to you to clean them?

👋 hello. I was wondering whether the color faded khaki of the Arizona oiled leather is a good color? I have been searching online for the reviews of it and I haven’t found any as such. Your reply would be appreciated. Thank you.

It is a beautiful color, kinda green, kinda brown & kinda gray. It's a great neutral. Like all leathers the color will vary slightly from pair to pair.

I made a huge mistake cleaning my birks that were covered in mud. Rather than look up on the internet, I cleaned like I would leather tennis shoes- basically saturating them in water, and scrubbing them with baking soda and a bit of soap before rinsing them off. I air dried them for a few days but now they are extremely stiff. I'm worried if I try wearing them and walking in them that I will snap them in half. The cork around the side has also lost most of its coating and seems dried out/brittle and the straps are also super stiff and seem to be cracking a bit. Some of the leather in a couple spots looks puffy like it has an air bubble in it. Is there any way I can fix them? Is there a conditioner I can use to soften them? They are oiled tobacco as well, and the color came out of the straps for the most part. Is there a way to fix that? These sandals were pretty much brand new and I can't afford to replace them. Any tips would be so appreciated!!

How do I clean a grease stain off oiled leather Boston clogs?

Hello. I am sorry to say that grease stains usually will not come out of oiled leather. You can try the suede cleaner and sandpaper to lift it - but usually you have to darken the rest of the shoe. Sorry. Amy

I got my oiled tobaccos today and they look too light and I actually want them to look darker. How can I do that or should I just exchange them?

Conditioner

I have had my oiled tobacco sandals for a year now and they are starting to get dry. I love the light color they are now but they need some hydration! I saw in other comments you suggest to use a conditioner to hydration without darkening. What brands/type conditioners would you suggest ??

Personally we kinda like the Habana to be darker in color, but try lightening yours to see how light they get. If they get too light just darken them using Leather Lotion or Oil or Vaseline. How to oil your leathers: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iaZ5w4-Se9ibh7w.html

What happens when they get dry and you need to oil them? They get darker again?

@DesertBirkenstock

3 жыл бұрын

You will want to use a conditioner before using a leather oil, it doesn't penetrate the leathers as much therefore not darkening them too much. You can always treat the leathers to hydrate them and go over the leathers with the nubuck block again to lighten certain areas or the whole thing. Completely up to you and your preference in coloring.

@@DesertBirkenstock so if I get it right for oiled leather: 1. Eraser to clean initially 2. Leather lotion for deep clean and moisturizing 3. Oiling with leather oil or Vaseline. All set? Any spray protector comes into picture?

@DesertBirkenstock

@@devanshnishi2008 We don't typically recommend the vaseline on the lighter leather because it can cause it to pull heavy orange or yellow undertones - however, like all natural materials there are many color variations. However, if you'd like to try it, apply it to an inconspicuous area (i.e. near the Birkenstock logo). Wipe off any excess with a cloth or cut up t-shirt and wait 24 hours to see how the color comes out. If you are happy with it, go for the rest of the straps. We usually recommend using a leather oil, conditioner or lotion to recondition the leathers. We'd love to see your process! Message us on IG or FB or tag us if you'd like.

Can I use actual eraser to do that ?

@DesertBirkenstock

Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't recommend it. The erasers that we use are crepe and it works on the leather. Regular erasers are for paper so I'm not sure it wouldn't leave a weird residue. The shoe erasers we use actually have a chemical in it to help lift off the stain. It acts like an eraser in the sense of how your using it but also from the eraser dust that it creates.
