FAQs
How do I determine my correct Birkenstock size?
Birkenstock sizes are based on European sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the brand's sizing chart. The Arizona model generally runs true to size, but the adjustable straps offer some leeway.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
These sandals are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. While they can handle light moisture, submerging them or wearing them in heavy rain can damage the cork and suede components.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
With proper care and regular wear, the cork footbed can last for several years. It gradually conforms to your foot, providing unique support. Eventually, the cork may start to crumble or the sole may wear down, indicating it's time for replacement.
Is the Birkibuc material genuine suede?
No, the Birkibuc upper is a synthetic material designed to resemble suede. It offers a velvety texture while being more durable and easier to care for than natural suede.
Can I adjust the width of the sandals?
The width is primarily determined by the footbed. However, the two adjustable straps with buckles allow you to customize the fit over the top of your foot, accommodating different foot volumes.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), a lightweight, flexible, and durable material that provides good cushioning and traction.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The contoured cork footbed offers significant arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with certain types of flat feet. However, it's always best to consult with a podiatrist if you have specific foot conditions.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable
The cork footbed may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Walking on carpeted surfaces can help expedite the molding process.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Utilize the adjustable metal pin buckles to loosen or tighten each strap independently for a custom fit.
Suede upper shows marks or dirt
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and restore the texture. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it dries naturally away from heat.
Cork footbed discoloration or drying
Ensure the sandals are not exposed to excessive moisture or heat. A specialized cork sealant can be applied sparingly if the cork appears excessively dry, but this is generally not required with regular wear.
