Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Arizona PAP Flex Platform Narrow Fit is designed for women seeking elevated comfort and style in an everyday sandal. Its key benefit is the combination of the signature contoured footbed with a subtle 2.5 cm EVA platform, offering both support and a fashion-forward look. A potential caveat is its narrow fit, which may not suit wider feet. This sandal features adjustable buckle straps for a secure fit, a cork-latex footbed for superior cushioning, and a durable EVA platform sole, all crafted from 100% Oyster coloured leather.

FAQs
How do I determine if the narrow fit is right for me?
The narrow fit is designed for feet that are narrower than the standard Birkenstock width. If you typically find standard sandals too wide or if your foot slides excessively within the sandal, the narrow fit might be suitable. It's recommended to try them on if possible or compare with your current Birkenstock sizing.
Can the EVA platform be replaced if it wears down?
Birkenstock's EVA platform is integrated and generally durable. While not designed for easy replacement like cork soles, the overall construction is robust. If significant wear occurs, consult a Birkenstock retailer or a professional cobbler for repair options.
How should I store these sandals when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can help protect them.
Are these sandals suitable for wet conditions?
While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the leather upper and cork-latex footbed are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry completely.
What is the difference between this and a regular Arizona sandal?
The primary difference is the addition of a 2.5 cm EVA platform sole, which provides a slight elevation and a more modern aesthetic. This model also features a narrow fit, whereas the standard Arizona comes in regular/narrow options.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
The cork footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mixture of water and mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the cork dries naturally.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the metal buckles on each strap to find your ideal fit. Ensure the straps are evenly tightened.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently.
Sandals feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the EVA sole is clean. If the issue persists, consider a light scuffing of the sole or consult a cobbler for grip enhancement options.
Footbed feels uncomfortable after initial wear.
Birkenstock footbeds require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as the footbed molds to your foot.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the leather and cork.
- Footbed Maintenance: For the cork-latex footbed, occasional conditioning with a leather balm can help maintain its suppleness. Avoid getting the footbed overly wet.
