FAQs
Do the Birkenstock Arizona sandals run true to size?
The sizing for Birkenstock Arizona sandals generally runs small and narrow. It is recommended to consult the size chart and consider ordering a half or full size up if you are between sizes or have a wider foot.
How long does it take for the cork footbed to break in?
The break-in period can vary from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the frequency and duration of wear. The footbed will gradually soften and conform to your foot's unique contours.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the EVA outsole offers some water resistance, the cork footbed and nubuck leather upper are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them.
How do I clean the oiled nubuck leather upper?
Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt and revive the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first and allow the leather to air dry.
Are these sandals suitable for plantar fasciitis?
Many users with plantar fasciitis find relief and support from Birkenstock's contoured cork footbed due to its arch support and cushioning. However, individual results may vary, and consulting with a podiatrist is advisable.
What is the difference between the regular and soft footbed?
The Soft Footbed features an integrated latex foam insert within the traditional cork footbed, providing additional cushioning and immediate comfort from the first wear, whereas the regular footbed offers firm support that molds over time.
Where are these sandals made?
These Birkenstock Arizona sandals are manufactured in Germany, adhering to high standards of quality and craftsmanship.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or loose
Adjust the buckles on the two straps to find a secure and comfortable fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Footbed feels stiff initially
The cork footbed will naturally mold to your foot's shape with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in gradually.
Leather upper is discolored or dirty
Use a suede brush or a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the oiled nubuck leather. For stubborn marks, a dedicated nubuck cleaner may be necessary. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Suede insole feels rough
Gently brush the suede insole with a suede brush to restore its texture and comfort.

Care:
- Upper (Oiled Nubuck Leather): Clean with a suede brush or a slightly damp cloth. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid excessive water exposure.
