FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, traditional Birkenstock Arizona sandals are made with materials that can be damaged by prolonged water exposure. It is best to avoid puddles and wet weather.
How long does the break-in period take?
Most users find that the sandals become comfortable after approximately 10 to 14 days of regular wear.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, wearing Birkenstocks with socks is a popular styling choice that can also help ease the transition during the break-in period.
How should I clean the footbed?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. For deeper cleaning, specialized suede or leather cleaning sprays can be used, but avoid getting the cork base excessively wet.
What if my size is not available?
Birkenstock sizes are consistent across the series, but check our other available sizes to find the closest match for your UK foot measurement.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
This is expected. Wear them for short intervals (1-2 hours) over the first week to allow the materials to soften and adapt to your feet.
Strap feels loose even after buckling
You can add an extra hole to the strap using a leather punch tool, or ensure the straps are adjusted while you are standing to account for foot spread.
Cork edges appear dry or flaky
Apply a thin layer of cork sealant to the exposed cork edges to maintain structural integrity and prevent degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your sandals, adjust the straps while standing so your weight is evenly distributed across the footbed. Ensure the buckles are tightened enough to hold the foot securely, but loose enough to allow for natural movement.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the sandals dry; avoid submerging them in water or wearing them in heavy rain.
- Regularly wipe the footbed with a dry cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- If the cork edge becomes dry or loses its sheen, you can apply a specialized cork sealant to prevent cracking.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp.
