FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Birkenstock Arizona features two adjustable straps, which allows for a degree of customization to accommodate different foot widths. However, the overall fit is considered medium to wide.
How do I clean the patent leather on the uppers?
Clean the patent leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
What is the footbed made of?
The footbed is made from natural cork and latex, designed with an ergonomic shape to provide support and comfort.
Do I need to break in these sandals?
Yes, Birkenstock cork footbeds typically require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and the footbed will gradually conform to the unique shape of your foot.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the EVA outsole offers some water resistance, the leather upper and cork footbed are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture, and allow the sandals to dry naturally if they get wet.
What does 'Big Buckle' refer to?
'Big Buckle' refers to the oversized, prominent metal buckles used on the straps, which is a design update to the classic Arizona model.
How should I store my Birkenstock Arizona sandals?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain their shape, you can place them in their original box or stuff them lightly with tissue paper.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the large buckles on each strap to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is properly threaded through the buckle.
Discomfort during initial wear
Birkenstock cork footbeds often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as the footbed molds to your foot.
Scuff marks on the patent finish
Gently buff the area with a soft, dry cloth. For minor scuffs, a small amount of patent leather cleaner or even a tiny bit of petroleum jelly can sometimes help restore shine. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed feels stiff or dry
Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for cork or suede footbeds. Apply sparingly according to product instructions. Avoid over-conditioning, which can make the footbed too soft.
