FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Birkenstock sizing can differ from other brands. Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or consult the embossed size on existing Birkenstock footwear. These are women's sandals, and the UK size is listed in the product title.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The Arizona Big Buckle features two adjustable straps which offer some flexibility. However, they are generally designed for regular foot widths. If you have significantly wide feet, they may not provide the optimal fit.

How should I clean the patent Birko-Flor upper?

Wipe the upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt or marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the footwear is air-dried.

Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?

The patent Birko-Flor upper is water-repellent, making them suitable for light moisture. However, the cork footbed is not waterproof and prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of lightweight EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), which provides cushioning and flexibility for comfortable walking.

How do I care for the suede footbed lining?

Gently brush the suede lining with a suede brush to remove dirt and restore its texture. Avoid using water on the suede unless absolutely necessary, and always allow it to air dry completely.

Do the oversized buckles require special care?

The gold buckles are part of the aesthetic. Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth to maintain their shine. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the gold finish.

Troubleshooting

Buckles are too loose or too tight

Adjust the straps using the oversized gold buckles to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the buckles are fastened securely.

Footbed feels stiff initially

The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to break in naturally. Avoid excessive heat which can accelerate or alter the molding process.

Scuff marks on the patent finish

Gently wipe the scuff mark with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for patent leather or synthetic patent can be used sparingly. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Suede footbed lining becoming dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently clean the lining. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid getting the suede overly wet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent arch support and comfort due to the cork footbed.
  • Stylish patent finish with prominent gold buckles elevates casual outfits.
  • Adjustable straps allow for a personalized and secure fit.
  • Water-repellent upper makes them suitable for various weather conditions.
  • Lightweight construction enhances comfort for extended wear.

Cons

  • Patent finish may show scuffs or scratches more readily than other materials.
  • Not suitable for machine washing; requires specific cleaning methods.
  • Can have a break-in period for optimal foot molding.
  • The oversized buckles might be perceived as too bold by some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are slip-on sandals and require no assembly. Simply adjust the buckles for your preferred fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult female wearers. While they offer adjustable straps, they are best suited for regular width feet. The EVA sole provides good traction on most common surfaces.

Care:

  • Clean the upper with a damp cloth.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the patent finish.
  • Do not machine wash.
  • For the footbed lining (suede leather), use a suede brush or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it dries naturally.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
