FAQs
How long does it take for the cork footbed to break in?
The break-in period can vary for each individual, typically ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks. Wear them for short durations initially and increase wear time gradually.
Can I wear Birkenstock Arizona sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede Birkenstocks in prolonged wet conditions. Moisture can damage the suede and affect the cork footbed. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
How do I clean my suede Birkenstock Arizona sandals?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for marks. Avoid water. For protection, a suede protector spray can be applied, but test it on a small area first.
Are Birkenstock Arizona sandals good for plantar fasciitis?
Many users with plantar fasciitis find relief due to the supportive, anatomically contoured cork footbed which helps distribute pressure evenly and supports the arch.
What is the main difference between the regular and soft footbed?
The regular footbed is made entirely of cork and latex, offering firm support that molds over time. The soft footbed includes an additional foam layer for immediate cushioning while still providing the core Birkenstock support.
Can I put Birkenstock Arizona sandals in the washing machine?
No, never put Birkenstock sandals, especially those made of suede, in a washing machine as this will damage the materials and the footbed.
Do Birkenstock Arizona sandals run true to size?
Birkenstock sizing can differ from standard shoe sizing. It's recommended to consult their specific sizing chart and measure your foot length to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm or uncomfortable
The cork footbed requires a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The cork will soften and mold to your foot's unique shape.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the buckles on the straps to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are not digging into your skin.
Suede upper gets wet
Allow the sandals to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its texture. Consider using a suede protector for future wear.
Squeaking sound from footbed
A slight squeak can occur as the cork and footbed material interact. This often resolves with continued wear. You can try lightly dusting the footbed with talcum powder as a temporary solution.
