Birkenstock Arizona - Black - UK 9

The Birkenstock Arizona models often run small and narrow. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, it is generally recommended to order one size up from your usual size.

The break-in period varies per individual but typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear. During this time, the footbed will adapt to the unique shape of your foot.

While the EVA sole offers some traction, the cork footbed and suede insole are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or immersing them in water.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove light dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner can be used cautiously, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Keep the insole dry.

The anatomically shaped cork footbed provides significant arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with mild to moderate arch needs. However, for severe foot conditions, consulting a podiatrist is recommended.

Birko-Flor® is a synthetic material designed to mimic the look of leather. It is known for being durable, easy to clean, and resistant to stretching. Leather uppers may offer a softer feel initially but can require more specific care.

The sole thickness is approximately 4.5 cm, contributing to the overall comfort and cushioning.

Adjust the buckle straps for a looser fit. If the width remains an issue, these may not be the best fit; consider wider options if available or consult a professional for advice.

The cork footbed requires a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will mold to your foot's shape over time.

For Birko-Flor®, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to water or harsh chemicals. For suede insoles, use a suede brush or cleaner.

Ensure feet are dry. The suede insole provides grip but can become slippery if wet. Allow the sandals to air dry if they become damp.
