Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle - Brown, 7

Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the leather.

While the sandals can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the leather and cork footbed.

Condition the leather every few months, or as needed, to keep it supple and prevent cracking. The frequency depends on how often you wear the sandals and the environment they are exposed to.

You can wear any type of socks with the sandals, but it is best to choose breathable socks made of cotton or wool.

Birkenstock sandals generally offer a good fit, but it is essential to try them on to ensure they are wide enough for your feet. Consider ordering a wide fit if you need it.

With proper care, these sandals can last for many years. The durability depends on how often you wear them and how well you maintain the leather and footbed.

The footbed is not designed to be replaced, but with proper care and maintenance, the sandals should provide years of wear.

Loosen the buckles on the straps to adjust the fit. Make sure there is enough space to comfortably fit your feet.

The footbed may need a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods at first and gradually increase the wear time as the cork molds to your feet.

Use a leather conditioner or a specialized nubuck cleaner to treat the scratches. Always test in a hidden area first.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing the sandals with socks in the beginning to help break them in. The cork footbed needs time to adjust to your foot shape.
