FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, these leather Arizona sandals are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather and the cork footbed.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have a small gap between your heel and the back rim, and your toes should not touch the front rim while walking.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is designed for long-term wear, it is not replaceable. Proper care and regular cleaning will extend its lifespan significantly.
Will the brown leather fade?
As with any natural leather, some color variation or minor fading may occur over time due to sun exposure, which is typical for the material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the two-strap adjustable design allows for a good deal of flexibility to accommodate various foot widths.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for short periods of 1-2 hours at a time to allow the footbed to gradually mold to your foot shape.
Leather straps feel tight
Adjust the buckles to a looser setting. As the leather warms up and softens through natural body heat, you can gradually adjust them back for a more secure fit.
Buckles become loose over time
Check the pin holes for wear. If the buckle continues to slide, ensure the strap is fed through the keeper loop correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance out of your Birkenstocks, ensure you adjust the straps so they are snug but not tight. Since these are made of leather, avoid exposing them to excessive moisture, such as heavy rain or submerging them in water, as this can degrade the materials. To clean the upper, use a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust. If the cork footbed loses its shine or begins to look dry, a thin application of cork sealer can help protect it from cracking. Always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out.
