FAQs
How do I know if these sandals fit correctly?
Your toes should have a small amount of space in front of them, and your heel should sit comfortably within the heel cup without touching the back rim.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is best to avoid wet conditions. Suede can become damaged or discolored by water, and the cork footbed should not be submerged.
Are the rivets uncomfortable?
No, the rivets are positioned and applied specifically to ensure they sit flush against the leather, making them completely unnoticeable when the shoe is worn.
How long do these sandals usually last?
With proper care and occasional professional resoling, a pair of Birkenstock Arizonas can last for many years.
Is the footbed supposed to feel hard?
Yes, it starts firm to provide structural support, which is the key to their long-term orthopedic benefits.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear them for short periods each day until the material softens and molds to your foot.
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dust.
Strap feels loose
Adjust the metal buckles to a tighter hole setting to ensure the strap holds your foot securely across the instep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals last for years, follow these care guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations around the house initially to allow the cork to mold to your foot before attempting all-day walking.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid getting the suede wet, as it can cause staining or stiffening.
- Cork Maintenance: If the edges of the cork footbed appear dry over time, apply a thin layer of cork sealer to prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the cork material.
- Compatibility: This model is a UK 6.5, which aligns with standard sizing; consider using your regular shoe size while accounting for the slightly wider fit common in the Arizona series.
