FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
The sandals should fit with a small gap at the heel and toe. Your foot should rest comfortably within the contoured footbed. The adjustable straps allow for fine-tuning the fit across the instep.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
No, the suede upper and lining are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. They are best suited for dry conditions.
How long does the footbed take to mold to my foot?
The molding process typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear, depending on frequency and duration. The footbed will gradually conform to the unique contours of your foot.
What is the difference between a regular and narrow/wide fit?
The Arizona SFB in 'Regular Fit' is designed for most standard foot widths. While Birkenstock offers specific narrow and wide fits for some models, the Arizona's adjustable straps offer some adaptability for varied widths within the regular category.
How should I clean the silver buckles?
The metal buckles can typically be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild metal polish can be used carefully, ensuring it does not contact the suede.
Are these sandals suitable for people with flat feet?
The anatomical footbed is designed to provide support, including arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with flatter arches.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common as the suede footbed molds to your unique foot shape. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Avoid excessive moisture during the break-in period.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid washing with water.
Buckles are difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckle prongs are correctly aligned with the holes. If they feel stiff, a very small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the buckle mechanism, but use sparingly.
Footbed feels slippery after getting wet
Allow the footbed to dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from heat. Once dry, the natural grip should return. Avoid wearing in wet conditions.
