FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for water play?
While the EVA outsole offers some water resistance, the suede lining and cork footbed are not designed for prolonged submersion in water and can be damaged. It is best to keep them away from excessive water.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
Refer to the Birkenstock sizing chart and measure your child's foot from heel to toe. The Arizona style generally offers a regular to generous fit, so consider their foot width when adjusting the straps.
Can the decorative rivets be removed?
The decorative rivets are permanently attached as part of the design and cannot be removed without damaging the sandal.
What is the main difference between this and other Arizona models?
The Arizona Rivet Border features a decorative border of rivets along the edges of the straps, adding a distinct visual element to the classic Arizona design.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
With proper care, the cork-latex footbed can provide comfortable support for several years. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh conditions will extend its lifespan.
Is the suede lining genuine leather?
Yes, the footbed lining is made of genuine suede leather, providing a soft and comfortable feel against the foot.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the metal pin buckles on each strap to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the buckles are properly secured.
Suede lining getting dirty
Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously. Always allow to air dry.
Footbed feels stiff initially
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to the foot over time with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Ensure the footbed is dry. A small amount of powder under the footbed might help, or ensure straps are adjusted correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These sandals require no assembly. Simply adjust the metal pin buckles on the two straps to fit your child's feet comfortably. Ensure both straps are securely fastened but not too tight.

Care:
- Upper (Synthetic Material with Suede Lining): For the suede lining, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid over-wetting. For the synthetic upper, wipe with a damp cloth.
- Footbed (Cork and Latex): Clean the footbed with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Outsole (EVA): Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially on the suede lining. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, as this can damage the cork and EVA.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
