FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Birkenstock Arizona sandals feature two wide, adjustable cross straps, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, individuals with exceptionally wide feet may find them more comfortable than other sandal styles.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing provided. The sandal should feel secure with adjustable straps. Your heel should sit comfortably within the heel cup, and your toes should have enough room without touching the front.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear suede sandals in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede material and affect its appearance. The cork footbed should also be kept as dry as possible.
How long does the cork footbed last?
With proper care, the cork footbed is very durable and can last for many years. It is designed to mold to your foot over time, offering personalized comfort.
How often should I clean the suede upper?
Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to maintain its texture and remove light dust. Deeper cleaning with a suede cleaner should only be done when necessary for stains.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of lightweight EVA foam, which provides cushioning and durability.
Is the grey color prone to showing dirt?
While grey is generally practical, suede can absorb stains. Regular brushing helps maintain its appearance, and prompt attention to spills with a suede cleaner is advised.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner sparingly and test in an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed feels too firm initially
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to break in gradually.
Straps feel loose or too tight
Adjust the buckles on the two wide cross straps to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the buckles are securely fastened.
Suede discolored by water
Allow the sandals to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, brush with a suede brush to restore the texture. Consider using a suede protector spray for future prevention (test first).

Care Instructions:
- Upper (Suede): Gently brush with a suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.
- Footbed (Cork): Cork is a natural material. It can be gently wiped with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid excessive moisture. Over time, the footbed will conform to your foot's unique shape.
- Sole (EVA Foam): Wipe the EVA sole with a damp cloth and allow it to dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the foam.
