FAQs
How do I know my correct Birkenstock size?
Birkenstock recommends measuring your foot length and width and consulting their size chart. The Arizona has a regular (wide) and narrow fit; this model is regular fit. Check the product details for specific fit information.
Can I wear my Arizona sandals in water?
While the EVA sole can handle minor splashes, prolonged exposure to water is not recommended as it can damage the cork footbed and affect the Birkibuc upper. They are not designed for swimming or water sports.
How long does the break-in period usually take?
The break-in period varies by individual, typically ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks. Wearing them for short, consistent intervals helps speed up the process.
Is the Birkibuc material vegan?
The Birkibuc upper is a synthetic material and is considered vegan-friendly. However, the cork footbed is a natural material.
How do I clean the footbed if it gets dirty?
Gently wipe the cork footbed with a damp cloth. Avoid using soap or detergents, as they can damage the cork. Allow it to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the difference between regular and narrow fit?
The regular fit is designed for a standard adult foot, while the narrow fit is slimmer. The Arizona model specified is a regular fit.
Can I replace the footbed if it wears out?
Yes, the original Birkenstock footbeds are designed to be replaceable by professional cobblers if they become excessively worn, extending the life of the sandal.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is normal as the cork footbed molds to your foot. Wear them for short periods gradually increasing the duration over several days.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the buckles on each strap to find your optimal, secure fit. Ensure the buckles are fastened correctly.
Cork footbed shows signs of drying or cracking
Apply Birkenstock's official cork sealant as directed to protect and preserve the cork material. Repeat as needed, especially in dry climates.
Discoloration on the Birkibuc upper
Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. For stubborn stains, a specialized synthetic cleaner may be used cautiously.
