FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water and excessive moisture, as it can damage the suede material.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede sandals in the rain, as water can damage the suede material and the cork footbed. The EVA outsole offers some grip, but the overall materials are not water-resistant.
How long does the break-in period usually last?
The break-in period can vary for each individual, typically lasting from a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear. The footbed will gradually conform to the shape of your foot.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Birkenstock Arizona features an anatomically shaped, wide footbed designed to provide ample room for most foot types, including wider feet.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 3.5 cm.
How do I adjust the buckles?
Each strap has a buckle that can be adjusted by sliding it through the buckle mechanism to tighten or loosen the fit across your foot.
What material is the footbed made of?
The footbed is made from a combination of cork and latex, designed for cushioning and support.
Troubleshooting
Straps won't stay adjusted
Ensure the buckles are fully fastened. If the straps continue to loosen, the buckle mechanism may be worn; consider professional repair or replacement.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially
The cork footbed requires a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration as the footbed conforms to your foot.
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Protect with a suede protector spray (test in an inconspicuous area first).
Squeaking noise from footbed
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the footbed lining or on the footbed itself.
