FAQs
Can I get my Birkenstock Arizona BS wet?
No, these sandals are made with suede and a cork footbed, which should be kept away from water to prevent damage.
Are these suitable for arch support?
Yes, the contoured footbed is specifically designed to provide anatomical support for the arch and heel.
How do I clean the footbed?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the footbed. Do not soak the sandals.
Should I wear socks with them?
That is a matter of personal preference; they are designed to be worn both with and without socks.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, both straps feature metal buckles that allow you to adjust the fit according to your foot width.
Will the cork footbed crack?
Cork is a natural material. To prevent cracking, avoid exposing them to extreme heat or leaving them in direct sunlight for long periods.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable
The cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period to adapt to your foot; wear them for shorter intervals initially.
Stains on suede straps
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry, soft cloth to gently buff out surface dirt.
Buckles become stiff
Ensure no moisture is trapped in the buckles and wipe them clean with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is essential for these sandals. Adjust the straps so they are snug but not tight, ensuring your foot sits comfortably within the heel cup and arch contours. Regarding care, these sandals should never be submerged in water or machine washed. To clean the surface, gently wipe the suede with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid direct high-heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can cause the cork footbed to dry out and crack over time. If the suede becomes scuffed, a soft-bristled brush can help restore the nap of the material.
