FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The Arizona EVA features two adjustable straps, which allows for a customizable fit that can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, individuals with exceptionally wide feet may find them snug.

Can I wear these sandals in water?

Yes, the synthetic EVA and rubber materials are water-resistant and designed to be worn in wet conditions, such as at the beach or by the pool. They are also easy to clean after getting wet.

How do I clean the Zinfandel Red color?

You can clean the vibrant Zinfandel Red color by wiping them with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with clean water, then allow them to air dry.

What is the main difference between EVA and cork Birkenstock footbeds?

The EVA footbed is lighter, more flexible, and completely waterproof, making it ideal for active use and wet environments. Traditional cork footbeds offer a firmer, more contoured support that molds to the foot over time but are not waterproof.

How long does the 'break-in' period typically last?

The break-in period for EVA sandals is usually shorter than for cork models. Most users find them comfortable within a few wears, but it can vary depending on individual foot shape and usage.

Are these sandals good for plantar fasciitis?

The padded EVA footbed provides cushioning and some support. While many find them comfortable for daily wear, individuals with specific conditions like plantar fasciitis may benefit from the more structured support offered by Birkenstock's traditional cork footbeds.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel too tight or loose

Adjust the buckles on the two straps to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the footbed.

Footbed feels stiff initially

Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow the EVA footbed to conform to the shape of your foot. This 'break-in' period typically helps enhance comfort.

Soles seem slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure both the soles of the sandals and the surface you are walking on are dry. The rubber sole provides good grip, but traction can be reduced on wet or polished surfaces.

Sandals have an odor

Clean the footbed with a damp cloth and allow to air dry thoroughly. Sprinkle baking soda inside the footbed and let it sit overnight to absorb odors before brushing it out.
