FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Try them on and ensure there is a small gap between your toes and the front edge, and your heel and the back edge. The arch support should align comfortably with your foot's natural arch.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede and cork sandals in heavy rain, as it can damage the materials and affect their shape and durability.
How long does the cork footbed last?
With proper care, the cork footbed can maintain its supportive qualities for several years. Eventually, the cork may compress or wear down, at which point replacement might be considered.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Arizona features adjustable straps that allow for a customizable fit, making them suitable for a range of foot widths, including wider feet.
How do I clean the buckles?
The buckles can typically be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch the finish.
What is the difference between regular and narrow fit?
The Arizona model typically comes in a regular/standard width, indicated by a solid foot icon, and a narrow width, indicated by a dashed or outlined foot icon. The regular fit is wider than the narrow fit.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the buckles on the straps to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the pins are properly inserted through the buckle holes.
Cork footbed feels stiff initially
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they break in.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush or eraser to gently remove dirt and marks. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or consider a suede cleaning kit.
Footbed has a faint odor
This is normal for cork and can be managed by airing the sandals out regularly and wiping the footbed with a damp cloth. Baking soda can also be sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors.
