Full details
The Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle sandals are designed for adult women seeking a blend of iconic comfort and stylish flair for warm-weather wear. Their key benefit lies in the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed for superior all-day support, complemented by eye-catching oversized gold buckles. A minor caveat is that the Birko-Flor material, while durable, may require specific care to maintain its patent finish. These sandals feature a slip-on design with two adjustable straps, a glossy patent finish, and a lightweight EVA sole.

FAQs
What material are these sandals made of?
The upper is made of Birko-Flor, a durable synthetic material with a glossy patent finish. The footbed is made of natural cork and latex, and the sole is made of EVA.
How do I clean the patent finish?
Clean the patent finish with a soft, damp cloth. For smudges, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is the footbed supportive enough for all-day wear?
Yes, the anatomically shaped cork and latex footbed is designed for optimal support and comfort, making it suitable for all-day wear.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The Birko-Flor upper is water-repellent, making them suitable for casual use around water. However, the cork footbed should not be soaked, and the sandals should be dried properly if they get wet.
How do I adjust the fit?
The sandals feature two adjustable straps with metal buckles. You can loosen or tighten these buckles to customize the fit across your foot.
Do these sandals come in different widths?
Birkenstock typically offers their footwear in regular and narrow widths. The Arizona model usually comes in a regular width, which can be adjusted with the straps to accommodate different foot shapes.
What is the main difference from the classic Arizona sandals?
The main difference is the addition of large, prominent gold metal buckles and the glossy patent finish on the Birko-Flor upper, offering a more elevated aesthetic compared to the classic suede or leather versions.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the metal buckles on each strap to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are properly positioned over the instep.
Patent finish appears dull or has smudges.
Gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher smudges, use a mild soap solution and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable.
The cork footbed may require a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will naturally mold to the shape of your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction. Ensure the footbed and sole are completely dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the footbed might help reduce friction if the sound persists.
