FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

The Birkenstock Arizona should fit with a small gap at the heel and toe. Your heel should sit comfortably within the heel cup, and there should be space in front of your toes for natural foot movement.

Can I wear these sandals in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede Birkenstocks in the rain, as water can damage the suede material and affect the footbed. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

How long does the footbed typically take to break in?

Most users find the footbed comfortable from the start, but it can take a few days to a week of regular wear for the footbed to fully conform to the unique shape of your foot.

Are these sandals suitable for arch support?

Yes, the Birkenstock Arizona features a signature contoured footbed made of cork and latex, which is designed to provide excellent arch support and promote natural foot alignment.

How should I clean the black suede upper?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean the suede. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Always brush in one direction.

What is the difference between the regular and soft footbed?

The regular footbed provides firm, supportive comfort. The soft footbed includes an extra layer of cushioning foam within the cork-latex base for immediate plushness and enhanced comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Footbed feels too firm initially

The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in comfortably.

Straps feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the buckles on each strap to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the buckles are properly fastened after adjustment.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The EVA sole offers some grip, but the sandals are not designed for wet or slippery conditions. Exercise caution on wet surfaces.
