FAQs
What is the main difference in this Big Buckle version?
The Big Buckle version features a larger, more prominent pin buckle compared to the standard Birkenstock Arizona, offering a bolder style statement.
How do I determine my correct Birkenstock size?
Birkenstock sizes are based on the length of the footbed. It's recommended to measure your foot and consult the brand's sizing chart. There should be a small space in front of and behind your toes when standing in the sandal.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
These Arizona sandals, especially the suede variant, are not designed for water use. Water can damage the suede and affect the integrity of the footbed. It's best to keep them dry.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary for individuals. Many find them comfortable after a few wears, while others may need a week or two for the footbed to fully mold to their feet.
Is the Piumato leather insole removable?
No, the Piumato leather insole is permanently attached to the semi-exquisit footbed for optimal comfort and support.
What is the material of the footbed?
The footbed is made from a natural cork and latex mixture, designed to provide cushioning and support.
How should I store my Birkenstock Arizona sandals?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the pin buckle on each strap to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the buckle is fastened correctly through the appropriate hole.
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used. Consider applying a suede protector spray for future prevention.
Footbed feels uncomfortable or stiff.
Allow a break-in period of a few days to a week. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as the footbed conforms to your foot's shape.
Sandals get wet.
If the suede gets wet, allow the sandals to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture. Avoid wearing in heavy rain.
