FAQs
How do I know my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Birkenstock. The Arizona BS sandals are known for their accommodating fit, but ensuring you select the correct UK size based on your foot measurement is recommended for optimal comfort.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the adjustable straps offer a degree of flexibility for different foot widths. The anatomical footbed also provides a generous fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede sandals in the rain. Suede is not water-resistant and can be easily damaged by moisture, leading to staining and material degradation.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period varies for individuals, but generally, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent wear for the cork footbed to fully mold to your foot.
How should I store my sandals when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping them in a shoe box or dust bag can help protect the suede.
Are the buckles adjustable?
Yes, the metal buckles on the two wide straps are fully adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit across the top of your foot.
What is the sole height?
The sole height at its highest point is approximately 3.5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal buckles on each strap to find your ideal fit. You may need to experiment to find the perfect tension.
Suede material looks dull or has minor stains.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Consider using a suede protector spray for future prevention.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Birkenstock footbeds often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. The cork will conform to your foot's shape over time.
Cork footbed exposed to moisture.
Wipe away excess moisture immediately with a dry cloth. Avoid submerging the footbed in water. If damp, allow to air dry away from direct heat.
