Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle Sandals - White - UK 4

Customers frequently comment that the BIRKENSTOCK Arizona sandals run large. It is generally recommended to order at least a half size smaller than your typical shoe size. If you are between sizes, lean towards the smaller size. Measuring your foot and consulting the Birkenstock size chart is also advisable.

While the Birko-Flor upper is water-resistant, the cork and latex footbed is not designed for prolonged water exposure and can be damaged. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions or submerging them in water.

Clean the Birko-Flor material with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Birko-Flor is a durable, skin-friendly synthetic material developed by Birkenstock. It mimics the look of leather but is easier to care for and more resistant to wear and tear.

The Arizona model features adjustable straps, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, the footbed itself is designed for a standard to slightly wide fit.

The primary difference is the 'Big Buckle' design, which features an oversized, elegant herringbone-patterned metal buckle for a more prominent style statement compared to the standard Arizona buckle.

With proper care, the cork footbed can last for several years. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive moisture or heat will help maintain its integrity and support.

Due to the generous sizing, consider ordering a half or full size down from your usual shoe size. The adjustable straps can help secure a slightly larger size, but a proper fit is crucial for comfort and support.

The cork and latex footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration as the footbed conforms to the shape of your foot.

The suede lining is designed to absorb moisture. Allow the sandals to air dry completely between wears. You can use a suede brush to refresh the nap and remove any residue.

Ensure the pin is aligned with the holes in the strap. If stiff, try gently wiggling the buckle while adjusting. Avoid forcing the buckle.
