FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, these are leather-upper sandals and should be kept away from water to prevent damage to the material and footbed.
How should I clean the suede footbed?
Use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid soaking the footbed in water.
Do I need to break these in?
Yes, Birkenstocks are known for needing a break-in period where the footbed customizes to your foot.
Are these true to size?
The regular fit is quite generous, meaning they often run larger than standard street shoes.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is designed for long-term wear, professional cobblers can often perform resoling and footbed replacements for Birkenstock sandals.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too hard during initial use.
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for short periods at home to allow the cork-latex blend to soften and mold to your foot shape.
The buckles are causing irritation or are too loose.
Adjust the strap tension using the metal pin buckles. Ensure the strap is snug but does not pinch the skin.
The leather upper looks dull or dry.
Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner to a clean cloth and buff the surface of the straps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Birkenstock Arizona features a generous fit, it is recommended to adjust the buckles upon initial receipt to ensure the straps hold the foot securely without slipping. To maintain the leather upper, keep the sandals away from excessive moisture and store them in a cool, dry place. If the leather becomes dusty, wipe it gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the suede footbed; instead, use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and keep the surface refreshed. Should the cork edges show signs of drying out, a light application of cork sealant can help prevent cracking.
