Birkenstock ARIZONA Sandals - White - Size: 13

No, these Birkenstock Arizona sandals are not designed to be waterproof. The synthetic upper can handle some moisture, but the suede lining and footbed are not suitable for prolonged exposure to water and should be allowed to dry naturally if they get wet.

For the suede-lined footbed, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher grime, a specialized footbed cleaner can be applied according to its instructions. Avoid soaking the footbed.

The 'Regular' width is designed to accommodate average to slightly wider feet. Birkenstock also offers 'Narrow' widths for those with slimmer feet, but this specific model is a 'Regular' fit.

These sandals are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not recommended for hiking, running, or other strenuous activities that require more robust foot support and protection.

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a lightweight, flexible, and elastic material known for its excellent cushioning and shock-absorbing properties, making it comfortable for walking.

As with any light-colored footwear, the white synthetic upper may show dirt and scuffs more readily. However, it is designed to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth, allowing for straightforward maintenance.

Birkenstock footbeds have a contour that some feet need to adapt to. Wear them for short periods initially (1-2 hours) and gradually increase wear time over a few days or weeks until your feet adjust to the ergonomic shape.

Adjust the buckles on both straps. They should be snug enough to hold your foot in place, preventing slipping, but not so tight that they cause pressure or restrict circulation. Ensure your toes have enough space at the front and your heel isn't pressing against the back edge.

For the suede footbed, use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, a specialized suede cleaner designed for footbeds can be used. Always follow product instructions and allow to air dry completely.

For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a clean, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a non-abrasive cleaner designed for synthetic materials might be effective. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
