FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork footbed are not waterproof and should be kept away from excessive water.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup, and your toes should have enough room to move freely without hitting the front edge.
Can the straps be adjusted?
Yes, the Arizona features adjustable buckles that allow you to customize the tightness across your midfoot.
Will these sandals provide enough support for all-day wear?
Once broken in, the arch support and deep heel cup are specifically designed for long-term standing and walking support.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat to preserve the integrity of the cork and suede.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel too stiff or uncomfortable.
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for short intervals (1-2 hours) over the course of two weeks to break in the cork footbed.
The suede upper looks dusty or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and remove surface debris.
The cork edges are looking dry.
Apply a thin layer of cork sealer to the exposed cork edges to prevent them from drying out and crumbling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper care is essential. Since these sandals feature a suede upper, avoid wearing them in wet or rainy conditions, as water can damage or stain the material. If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the cork to dry out and crack. When first wearing your sandals, start with 1-2 hours per day to allow your feet and the footbed to adapt to each other gradually. Check the straps periodically; they should be snug enough to hold your foot in place without restricting circulation.
