FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid using water on suede.
Will the soft footbed provide enough support?
The soft footbed is designed to offer cushioning and mold to your foot's unique shape for personalized comfort. While supportive for many, individuals requiring very firm arch support might prefer a different Birkenstock model.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede sandals in wet conditions as water can damage the material and affect its appearance and texture.
How do I adjust the straps?
Each strap has a buckle. You can loosen or tighten the straps by repositioning the buckle on the strap holes to achieve your desired fit.
What is the best way to store these sandals?
Store your Birkenstock Arizona sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag can help protect the suede material from dust and damage.
How long does it take for the soft footbed to break in?
The break-in period varies for individuals, but generally, the soft footbed becomes more comfortable and conforms to your foot within a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Straps feel too loose or tight
Adjust the buckles on the two straps to achieve a personalized fit. Ensure the straps are fastened evenly for optimal comfort and support.
Footbed feels stiff initially
The soft footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to break in gradually.
Sandals got wet
Allow the sandals to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture. Avoid using heat to speed up the drying process.
