FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Birkenstock sizing can differ from other brands. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to Birkenstock's size chart. The Arizona also allows for width adjustment via its straps.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear Birkenstock Arizona sandals in the rain or wet conditions. The suede upper can be damaged by water, and the cork footbed can degrade if repeatedly soaked.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
With proper care, the cork footbed can last for several years. Signs of wear include significant compression, cracking, or loss of shape.
Is the blue suede color fade-resistant?
While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. It's best to store them away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, in many cases, worn-out cork insoles can be replaced by specialized shoe repair services that handle Birkenstock repairs.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The contoured cork footbed provides significant arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with moderately flat feet. However, severe foot conditions may require custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Straps won't stay tightened.
Ensure the buckles are properly engaged and not damaged. If the straps are significantly worn, they may need replacement.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable.
The cork footbed often requires a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Walking on different surfaces can help mold the footbed.
Suede looks dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Sandals feel too wide/narrow.
Adjust the buckles on the straps to achieve a tighter or looser fit. The Arizona model is designed to accommodate various foot widths through strap adjustment.
