FAQs
How do I clean the cream-colored straps?
For most cream-colored strap materials, a slightly damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning. For specific materials like suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner.
Are these slides suitable for wide feet?
The Arizona BS slides feature two adjustable straps, which allow for a degree of customization to accommodate different foot widths. However, the base fit is designed for a standard width.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
With proper care, the cork footbed is very durable. Users often report many years of comfortable wear. Replacements can sometimes be purchased and professionally fitted if the original wears out.
Can I wear these slides in water?
The cork footbed should not be saturated with water, as it can degrade the material. While they can handle light splashes, they are not designed for swimming or prolonged exposure to water.
What is the difference between Arizona and Arizona BS?
The 'BS' typically denotes a softer footbed compared to the original Arizona, offering a slightly more cushioned feel from the start.
Do these slides offer good arch support?
Yes, the anatomically shaped cork footbed is a core feature, providing excellent arch support and promoting proper foot alignment.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The cork footbed often requires a break-in period. Wear the slides for short periods each day to gradually mold them to your foot shape.
Straps are too loose or too tight
Adjust the metal buckles on the straps to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the buckles are properly fastened.
Footbed appears to be drying out or cracking
Apply Birkenstock's cork sealant to the footbed. This helps to maintain its integrity and flexibility. Follow the product instructions for application.
Slides have become misshapen
Avoid storing the slides in extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which can cause them to warp. Ensure they are stored flat in a cool, dry place.
