Birkenstock Arizona - Slippers & Sandals - UK 5.5

These specific Birkenstock Arizona sandals are designed with a narrow fit, which is typically suitable for women's feet. If you have wider feet, you may find them too snug. It's recommended to try them on or look for a 'regular' or 'wide' fit if available for this model.

Wipe the Birko-Flor upper and lining with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Always allow them to air dry.

While the materials are relatively water-resistant, these sandals are not designed for submersion in water. Prolonged exposure to water can affect the cork footbed and suede lining. It is best to avoid wearing them in the pool or ocean.

Most users find that Birkenstocks require a short break-in period, typically a few days to a couple of weeks, during which the cork footbed molds to the contours of your foot. Wearing them for increasing durations each day helps expedite this process.

To prevent the cork from drying out and cracking, it's advisable to periodically apply a Birkenstock cork sealant, especially after exposure to moisture or during dry seasons. Follow the sealant manufacturer's instructions.

While the Arizona model is popular across genders, this particular listing is for the women's narrow fit version. Birkenstock also offers a regular/unisex fit Arizona which may be more suitable for men or those with wider feet.

Adjust the buckles on the straps to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the buckle prongs are correctly inserted into the strap holes.

This is normal as the cork footbed needs a short break-in period to conform to your foot's unique shape. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

The EVA sole offers some grip, but like most sandals, they can become slippery when wet. Exercise caution on wet surfaces.
