FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
The size chart provided by Birkenstock should be consulted. Ensure there is a small gap between your toes and the front of the sandal, and between your heel and the back. The straps should allow for a snug, but not tight, fit.
Will the cork footbed get damaged if it gets wet?
While the cork footbed is durable, prolonged exposure to excessive moisture can degrade the material. It's best to keep them dry. If they get damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I wear these sandals in the shower?
No, these sandals are not designed for use in the shower or in wet conditions. The suede and cork materials can be damaged by excessive water.
How long does it typically take for the footbed to mold to my foot?
The break-in period varies for individuals, but most users find the footbed starts to significantly mold to their foot shape within a week or two of regular wear.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The Birkenstock Arizona features significant arch support, which can be beneficial for many people, including some with flat feet. However, individual needs vary, and consulting with a podiatrist is always recommended for specific foot conditions.
How do I clean the studs on the sandals?
The studs can typically be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage their finish.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the buckles on the straps to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are evenly tightened.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially
Allow for a break-in period of several wears. The cork footbed will gradually mold to the shape of your foot.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean off dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water on suede.
Slight squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try wearing them for a bit longer, or a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help.
