FAQs

Are Birkenstock Arizonas good for walking long distances?

Yes, their orthopedic design is intended for walking and standing for extended periods, though they should be broken in before taking on very long hikes.

Can I get my suede Birkenstocks wet?

No. Suede is porous and can be permanently damaged by water. If they do get wet, let them air dry slowly away from direct heat.

How should I clean the cork footbed?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. If the cork begins to look dull, a thin application of a cork sealant can help maintain its integrity.

How do I know my size?

Birkenstocks are sized by European standards. Ensure your heel sits comfortably in the deep heel cup and your toes have space in front.

Does the suede stretch out?

Suede is a natural material and will soften and slightly stretch to accommodate your foot width over time.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too hard during first use

This is normal. Wear the sandals for short periods (1-2 hours) over the first week to allow the cork to warm and mold to your foot shape.

Suede looks discolored or stained

Use a dry suede brush to gently lift the fibers. For liquids, blot immediately with a clean cloth, do not rub.

Straps feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the metal buckles one notch at a time until you achieve a secure fit that keeps the heel properly seated in the heel cup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper care is essential.

Setup: When first wearing the sandals, adjust the straps so they are snug but not tight. You should be able to slide a finger between your foot and the strap.

Compatibility: These sandals are best paired with casual wear such as jeans, linen trousers, or skirts. Because they are open-toed, they are designed for temperate or warm weather.

Care:

  1. Avoid Water: Suede is highly absorbent. Keep them away from heavy rain and puddles.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a professional suede cleaner.
  3. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can dry out the cork footbed.
