Adjusting your Birkenstock Arizona sandals is straightforward. Simply loosen or tighten the buckles on both straps until the sandal feels snug but not restrictive on your foot. Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front rim, and your heel and the back rim of the footbed. The footbed is designed to cradle your foot, and it will mold to your unique shape over a few days or weeks of wear, enhancing comfort.
This sandal is designed for adults and is considered a unisex style, suitable for various foot shapes thanks to its adjustable straps. It's available in multiple UK sizes, including UK 10.5, catering to a broad range of users.
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Birkenstock Arizona sandals, especially the oiled nubuck leather:
Cleaning the Upper: Gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn marks or dryness, lightly dampen a cloth with water and wipe the affected area, then allow to air dry away from direct heat. For oiled nubuck, you can use a specialized nubuck cleaner and conditioner. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Cleaning the Footbed: Wipe the suede lining with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and refresh the surface. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, ensuring to dry thoroughly afterward.
Outsole Care: The EVA outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sun for extended periods, as this can dry out and damage the materials.
