The Birkenstock Arizona Leather Sandals are designed for everyday casual wear, offering a blend of support and style.
Daily Errands: The cushioned EVA sole and supportive footbed make them perfect for walks to the store or running daily errands, providing comfort even on hard surfaces.

Indoor Comfort: Many users find them comfortable as house shoes, offering more support than traditional slippers.
Post-Activity Recovery: The arch support and cushioning can provide relief to feet after strenuous activities, aiding in recovery.
Travel Companion: Easy to slip on and off at airports or for exploring new places, offering reliable comfort throughout your journey. The durable construction stands up to travel demands.
Adjust Straps: Unbuckle both straps and place your foot in the sandal. Ensure your heel sits securely in the heel cup and your toes are not pressing against the front rim.
Fasten Straps: Tighten the buckles until the straps feel secure but not uncomfortably tight. You should be able to slide a finger easily under the strap.
Break-in Period: Wear your new Birkenstocks for short periods initially (e.g., 30 minutes to an hour) to allow the cork footbed to gradually mold to the unique contours of your feet. This prevents discomfort during the initial firm stage.
Observe Fit: Ensure there's a few millimeters of space between your heel and the back edge of the footbed, and between your toes and the front edge.
These sandals are designed for adults.
The "Narrow Fit" corresponds to a standard fit in many other brands, suitable for individuals who typically wear average width footwear.
Best paired with casual attire like shorts, jeans, skirts, or summer dresses.
Cleaning the Upper: For the oiled leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Cleaning the Footbed: Regularly wipe the footbed with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains or odors, a mild soap solution or specialized footbed cleaner can be used. Allow to air dry completely before wearing.
Protecting the Cork: To prolong the life of the cork, periodically apply a thin layer of Birkenstock Cork Sealer, especially if it appears dry or cracked. This protects it from moisture and keeps it flexible.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not leave them in direct sun or hot cars for extended periods as this can dry out and crack the cork.
Avoid Water Immersion: The natural cork footbed and leather upper are not designed to be submerged in water. If they get wet, air dry slowly away from direct heat.
