Birkenstock London Habana Brown Oiled Leather Narrow

The Birkenstock London combines the ultimate properties of closed shoes with the advantages of the classic Birkenstock footbed. One of the first closed-toe styles from Birkenstock, the London is the epitome of simplicity with clean lines and an adjustable buckle strap over the instep. The iconic footbed provides signature comfort and support.

Oiled leathers are designed to appear stressed and rustic looking. Leather conditioner will minimise this look. A lot of this occurs when the shoes are in transit as the paper rubs against the shoes and the shoes themselves jostle one another in the box creating scratches or scuffs on the leather. This can be worked out using your fingertips. The leather can appear dryer(lighter) in patches where the oil has dispersed or darker where the oil has settled. When you bend the straps or move the leather the colour will change frequently showing up crackly as the oil disperses.
