Arizona Birko-Flor Sandals - Black - Size 9

The upper is made of Birko-Flor, a durable, synthetic material developed by Birkenstock that resembles leather.

These specific 'Arizona' sandals are noted as having a narrow width. Birkenstock offers different width options in other models, but this particular variant is designed for narrower feet.

While the Birko-Flor material can handle some moisture, the cork-latex footbed is not designed for prolonged submersion in water and can be damaged. It's best to avoid wearing them in water or very wet conditions.

The break-in period can vary from person to person, but typically takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent, short-duration wear.

Yes, the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed provides excellent support and cushioning, making them suitable for extended wear and walking moderate distances once broken in.

Store your sandals flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain their shape and prevent material degradation.

Birkenstock sandals, especially those with a cork footbed, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. The footbed will conform to your foot's shape over time.

Ensure the buckles are properly aligned. If they are stiff, try gently wiggling them while fastening or unfastening. If the material is new, it may take a few adjustments to loosen.

The cork-latex footbed can become slippery when wet. Allow the sandals to dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture.

In rare cases, especially with darker colors or in very humid conditions, some color transfer might occur. This is usually temporary. Ensure the straps are clean and dry. If the issue persists, consider a different material or color.
