FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your heel should sit comfortably within the raised edges of the footbed, and your toes should not touch the front or sides. There should be a small space between your toes and the edge of the footbed.
How long does the cork footbed take to mold to my foot?
The molding process typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear. You will notice the footbed gradually conforming to the unique shape of your sole.
Can I wear my Birkenstocks in water?
It is not recommended to wear the leather Arizona sandals in water, as it can damage the leather and cork. While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, prolonged exposure should be avoided.
How do I clean the suede lining of the footbed?
For suede footbeds, use a suede brush to clean off dirt and debris. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Always allow to air dry.
What is the difference between the regular and soft footbeds?
The regular footbed is the standard firm cork construction. The soft footbed includes an additional layer of cushioning foam inserted between the cork and the microfiber lining for enhanced immediate comfort.
Are Birkenstock Arizona sandals suitable for people with flat feet?
Yes, the anatomically shaped footbed with built-in arch support is often beneficial for individuals with flat feet, providing necessary support and alignment.
How should I care for the leather straps?
Wipe the leather straps with a damp cloth for routine cleaning. For deeper care, use a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too stiff initially.
The leather and cork footbed may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Gentle flexing of the sole can also help.
Buckles are difficult to adjust.
Ensure the buckle prongs are correctly aligned with the holes. If the straps are very new, they might be stiff. Try gently manipulating the leather around the buckle.
Footbed feels uncomfortable after prolonged wear.
Ensure the straps are properly adjusted for your foot. If discomfort persists, consult the FAQ on footbed molding or consider if the size is correct.
Cork footbed gets wet.
Allow the sandals to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.
