FAQs

How do I clean the suede upper?

Gently brush with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.

What is the footbed made of?

The footbed is made of natural cork, which is anatomically shaped for support and cushioning. It has a natural touch layer (suede) lining.

Are these suitable for wearing in wet conditions?

No, the suede upper is not water-resistant and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. They are best suited for dry conditions.

How long does the footbed take to break in?

The break-in period varies per individual, but typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent wear for the cork to fully mold to your foot's shape.

Can I wear these with socks?

While technically possible, wearing socks with suede footwear is generally not recommended as it can affect the fit and potentially transfer moisture to the suede, leading to discoloration or damage.

What does 'BS' stand for in Arizona BS?

'BS' typically refers to 'Birko-Sole', indicating the specific type of sole construction, often featuring a soft footbed.

How do I adjust the straps?

Each strap has a large rectangular buckle. You can slide the strap through the buckle to tighten or loosen it for a custom fit.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dust. For tougher marks, apply a suede cleaner sparingly and follow product directions.

Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially

This is normal as the cork footbed conforms to your foot shape. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow for a personalized fit.

Straps feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the buckles on the two wide cross straps to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit for each foot independently.

Soles making squeaking noises

This can sometimes happen with new EVA soles. Ensure the soles are clean and dry. In some cases, a light dusting of talcum powder underneath can help, but this is rarely necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent arch support and comfort from the cork footbed.
  • Durable construction with quality suede and EVA materials.
  • Adjustable straps ensure a secure and customizable fit.
  • Breathable materials promote comfort during extended wear.
  • Timeless, versatile design suitable for casual wear.

Cons

  • Suede upper requires specific care and is sensitive to moisture.
  • May require a break-in period for the cork footbed to fully conform to the foot.
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty outdoor activities due to material and design.
  • The slip-on nature might not provide the same ankle support as laced footwear.
  • Can be more expensive than basic flip-flops or sandals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Birkenstock Arizona BS requires no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Adjust the two cross straps using the buckles to achieve your preferred fit.

Compatibility: These sandals are unisex and suitable for adult wear. They are designed primarily for casual wear and indoor use, or dry outdoor conditions. They are not intended for strenuous athletic activities or wet environments.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede Upper: Gently brush with a dedicated suede brush to remove dust and restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid getting the suede wet; if they do get damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Footbed: The cork footbed can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth if needed. Avoid soaking the footbed, as this can damage the cork.
  • Sole: Wipe the EVA foam sole with a damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
