FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Arizona model offers an adjustable fit due to its two buckle straps, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, Birkenstock offers different widths (regular and narrow) for some models; check the specific product details if width is a primary concern.
How do I know my correct Birkenstock size?
Birkenstock sizing is unique. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to Birkenstock's size chart. Many find their size is different from their usual shoe size. Trying them on is ideal.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
While the synthetic upper can handle moisture better than leather, the cork footbed can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions and dry them thoroughly if they do get wet.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
With proper care, the cork footbed is very durable and can last for many years, often outlasting the upper material. The contoured shape is designed to provide support throughout its lifespan.
Is the animal pattern printed or part of the material?
The animal pattern is integrated into the synthetic upper material, offering a subtle and durable finish.
How do I care for the velvety feel of the synthetic upper?
Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using brushes or abrasive materials that could damage the soft texture.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the buckles on each strap to find a secure and comfortable fit for your foot.
Footbed feels stiff initially
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape.
Slipping when walking
Ensure the straps are properly adjusted to secure your foot. Check that the footbed and sole are clean and free from excessive moisture or debris.
Discoloration on the synthetic upper
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid direct contact with colored fabrics that might transfer dye, especially when wet.
