FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from Birko-Flor, a high-quality synthetic material with a patent finish.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
Gently wipe the cork-latex footbed with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Arizona Big Buckle sandals feature two adjustable straps, which allows for a degree of customization to accommodate different foot widths. However, they are based on a standard Birkenstock fit.
What is the sole height?
The sole height at its highest point is approximately 3.5 cm.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the EVA sole offers some grip, the materials, especially the suede lining and Birko-Flor upper, are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. It is best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
How do I adjust the straps?
The straps are adjustable via the large metal buckles. You can unbuckle them to reposition the straps for a tighter or looser fit, then re-buckle them.
What is the difference between this and the regular Arizona sandal?
The primary difference is the addition of the large, prominent gold metal buckles on the straps, offering a more statement-making aesthetic compared to the standard Arizona model.
Troubleshooting
Straps are too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckles on the straps to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The buckles are designed for easy adjustment.
Footbed feels stiff initially.
The cork-latex footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, and they will gradually conform to the shape of your foot.
Patent finish appears dull or has minor scuffs.
Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. For scuffs, specific patent leather cleaners may be used cautiously, or a very mild polish might help restore shine. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Sandals feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the EVA sole is clean. While designed for traction, very smooth or wet surfaces can reduce grip. Use caution in such conditions.

- Cleaning the Footbed: Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the cork-latex footbed. Allow it to air dry away from direct heat.
- Footbed Lining (Suede): For minor marks on the suede, a suede brush can be used. Avoid getting suede wet.
