Why we repair (and you should too)
By repairing worn Birkenstocks, our workshop keeps on average 3713 pairs out of landfill each year. By maintaining and repairing your Birkenstocks, you can greatly extend the life of your shoes, which is kinder for both the environment and your wallet!
Almost all Birkenstock styles can be repaired by our skilled technicians at our in-house workshop.
Common Repairs
These are the most common repairs we offer, but if you have a specific request, you can let us know using our contact form below. Please note, we are located in Australia, and cannot assist with repairs internationally.
Resole
If you’ve worn down the tread on your favourite sandals, we can replace the sole. You can choose a classic EVA sole or a Supergrip option.
Toe Piece Repair
Over time, toe loop straps can wear thin, or sometimes even come unstuck. This can be easily repaired or reglued in our workshop. Plastic toe piece posts are also replaceable.
Cork Repair
Heat moulded cork and latex is used to patch and refill parts of the cork footbed that over time have cracked or crumbled.
Buckle Replacement
We use genuine Birkenstock buckles to replace old, corroded or broken buckles on your favourite sandals. Enquire with our workshop if you would like a different colour or type of buckle.
Leather Patch
Have you let your soles wear through the cork and into the leather of the upper? Not to worry, we are able to patch leather that is worn through to enable a solid repair. Leather patching is sometimes useful to reinforce buckles or rivets that have torn through the leather upper, or if a naughty puppy has chewed your favourite sandals.
Dog Chew Repair
Some puppies just love Birkenstocks! Has your dog chewed your favourite sandals? Contact us to see what we can do to help, it’s not always possible, but often amazing what our talented workshop staff can do to keep your favourites (or your pup’s favourites!) on your feet for longer.
Recycle – Footbed Unit Replacement
A recycle retains the original upper (straps and buckles) of
the shoe, replacing the entire cork footbed, liner, and sole. Perfect if you have an older discontinued style you would love to continue wearing.
The Birkenstock Repair Cycle
Step 1: Time for a Repair
Your Birkenstocks have been loved to death, and are looking a bit worse for wear.
Time for a Repair! Fill in our form below, including photos of your Birkenstocks, and our Workshop will be in touch soon.
Step 2: Into the Workshop
You can post your Birkenstocks directly to our Workshop, or drop them off at one of your local drop-off points.
Step 3: Assessment
Once they arrive at our Melbourne Workshop, your Birkenstocks will be assessed by experts. You’ll be contacted with a quote with the estimated repair costs.
Step 4: Recycle
If your Birkenstocks are too worn to be repaired and you don’t want them returned, we salvage all useful materials for re-use. (Uppers, buckles, soles, laces, removable footbeds, etc)
Almost all the leather used in our repairs is recycled!
Step 5: Repair
If you choose to repair, we begin the several-day-process of grinding, gluing, and corking your Birkenstocks.
Step 6: Back on Your Feet
After final payment, your Birkenstocks are sent home to you, ready for many more adventures!
