FAQs
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Birkenstock sizes are based on foot length. It's recommended to measure your foot from heel to toe and compare it to the Birkenstock sizing chart. There should be a small space in front of your toes and behind your heel when standing in the sandal.
Can I wear these slides in the shower or to the beach?
No, the Arizona BS slides are not recommended for use in wet environments like showers or beaches. The suede upper can be damaged by water, and the cork footbed can degrade if repeatedly soaked.
How long does it take for the footbed to mold to my foot?
The break-in period varies per individual, but typically it takes a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear for the cork footbed to significantly conform to your foot's shape.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Birkenstock's contoured footbed provides significant arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with mild to moderate arch concerns. However, individuals with very specific foot conditions should consult with a podiatrist.
What is the difference between Arizona and Arizona BS?
The 'BS' in Arizona BS typically refers to a specific construction or buckle type, often indicating a standard or narrower fit compared to other Birkenstock models, though this can vary by collection. The core comfort and design remain consistent.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
You can clean the cork footbed with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, but ensure to wipe it clean with a damp cloth afterward and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid soaking the footbed.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm or uncomfortable initially.
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot's unique shape over time. Wear the slides for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the footbed to break in.
Straps won't stay adjusted.
Ensure the metal buckles are properly fastened through the holes and that the strap is pulled snug. If the buckle is damaged, contact customer support.
Suede material getting wet or stained.
Avoid wearing the slides in wet conditions. For fresh stains, try a suede eraser or brush. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.
Sizing seems incorrect.
Birkenstock sizing can differ from other brands. Refer to the sizing chart and measure your foot if unsure. The 'BS' models are generally a standard fit, but adjustability helps accommodate minor variations.
