Full details
The Birkenstock Arizona sandals are designed for adults seeking a blend of classic style and long-term orthopaedic comfort.

FAQs
How long is the break-in period?
Most users find that it takes approximately 10 to 14 days of regular wear for the footbed to fully contour to their feet.
Can I get these wet?
No, these are made of suede and cork. It is best to avoid water contact to prevent potential damage or warping.
How do I find my size?
Birkenstock sizes are typically based on European sizing, so ensure you check the conversion chart if you are coming from UK sizing.
Are these suitable for arch support?
Yes, the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed is specifically designed to provide significant orthopaedic arch support.
Can I replace the soles?
While the sole is durable, professional cobblers can often perform repairs or resoling depending on the extent of the wear.
Should I wear socks with these?
Whether you wear socks is a matter of personal preference; the suede material is designed to be comfortable against bare skin.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm
Wear the sandals for short periods, such as 30-60 minutes a day, to allow the cork to warm up and gradually mold to your foot.
Straps digging into skin
Loosen the buckles by one notch to adjust the tension, or ensure your foot is centered properly on the footbed.
Suede looks dull
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and restore its appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your sandals, ensure the straps are adjusted to hold your foot snugly without pinching. Avoid exposing the suede material to heavy rain or soaking conditions, as moisture can damage the natural properties of the cork and suede. To clean, use a soft brush to remove dust and dirt from the suede surface. If the cork edge begins to look dry over time, a light application of a cork sealer can help protect it from cracking. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the cork from becoming brittle.
