FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
The Arizona sandals are water-resistant but should not be submerged. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or swimming to preserve the cork and leather components.
How do I find the right size for my child?
Birkenstock sizes typically run slightly generous. Ensure there is a small gap of about 10mm between the toes and the edge of the footbed to allow for natural movement.
Can the straps be replaced if broken?
While the buckles are durable, they are not user-replaceable. If a strap fails, contact an authorized repair center or the manufacturer.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The dual-strap design allows for significant adjustability, making them highly accommodating for various foot widths.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the footbed materials from cracking or the colour from fading.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff upon first wear
This is normal for the cork footbed. Gradually increase wear time over one to two weeks to allow the material to soften and conform.
Straps are rubbing against the skin
Ensure the straps are adjusted to the correct tension. If irritation persists, consider having the child wear soft socks while breaking the sandals in.
Footbed looks slightly discolored after use
Normal foot moisture can darken the suede lining of the footbed. This does not affect performance, but you can clean the surface with a suede brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When first using these sandals, have your child wear them for short periods at home to allow the cork to mold to their foot shape. Ensure the straps are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation. To maintain the sandals, avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or near heat sources like radiators, as this can dry out the cork. If the straps get dirty, wipe them gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the sandals fully in water to protect the integrity of the footbed materials.
