FAQs

Are these sandals waterproof?

No, Birkenstock Arizona sandals are made with materials that can be damaged by water. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep water.

How do I know if they fit correctly?

Your heel should rest comfortably in the deep heel cup, and your toes should have enough room to move freely without hitting the front edge.

Do I need to wear them in?

Yes, it is recommended to wear them for short periods initially so the footbed can properly mold to your foot shape.

Can I replace the footbed?

While the footbed is durable, it is not designed for self-replacement. Contact a professional cobbler if the sole wears down significantly.

What is the best way to clean the straps?

Gently wipe the straps with a slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too loose or tight

Adjust the metal buckles to match your preferred tension; the Arizona design allows for significant variability in fit.

Footbed feels hard during first use

This is normal. Wear the sandals for 1-2 hours a day for the first week to allow the cork to warm up and conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your sandals remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Setup: Adjust the straps while wearing socks to find your ideal tightness, ensuring your heel sits securely in the heel cup.
  2. Compatibility: These sandals are versatile for adult users, fitting well with casual trousers, denim, or summer attire.
  3. Care Instructions: Keep the sandals dry. If they become dusty, wipe them with a dry cloth. Use a specialized suede brush for the footbed surface to remove debris. Avoid exposing the sandals to extreme heat sources, such as radiators, as this can damage the cork foundation.
