FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, Birkenstock Arizona sandals with cork-latex footbeds should not be submerged in water or worn in heavy rain as it can damage the cork and the adhesive.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup, and your toes should have enough room to move without hitting the front edge of the sandal.
Can I replace the insoles?
No, the anatomical footbed is built into the construction of the sandal and cannot be removed or replaced.
Do I need to size up or down?
Birkenstocks generally follow standard sizing. If you are between sizes, it is usually recommended to size up to ensure your toes have ample space.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Many users with flat feet find the support of the Arizona footbed beneficial, but individual comfort levels vary. Consult a podiatrist if you have specific medical foot requirements.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too hard during the first use.
This is normal. Wear the sandals for short periods (1-2 hours) over the first week to allow the cork to compress and mold to your specific foot shape.
The straps are irritating the skin.
Adjust the buckle to a looser setting and ensure the strap is not pulling against your skin. You may use a soft sock during the break-in period to reduce friction.
Cork edges are becoming dry or flaky.
You can apply a small amount of cork sealer to the exposed cork edges to prevent further drying and maintain the structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Arizona sandals, adjust the buckles so that the straps are snug but do not cut into your skin. You should be able to slide a finger under the strap comfortably.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the sandals away from extreme heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight in a hot car, as this can cause the cork to dry out or crack.
- Clean the synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust or dirt.
- If the footbed becomes dirty, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface.
- Avoid submerging the sandals in water, as this can degrade the natural cork bond.
