FAQs
How long does it take for the footbed to break in?
The break-in period can vary from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on wear frequency and individual foot shape. Wear them for short periods initially and increase duration as they become more comfortable.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
No, the Birkenstock Arizona sandals are not designed for water use. The cork footbed can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture, and the materials are not waterproof.
How do I clean the Birko-Flor Nubuck upper?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
Are these sandals suitable for people with flat feet?
The anatomically shaped footbed provides significant arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with flatter arches. However, specific medical conditions should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
What is the difference between Birko-Flor and leather uppers?
Birko-Flor is a synthetic material designed to be durable and easy to clean, offering a nubuck-like finish. Leather uppers are made from genuine leather, which may offer a softer feel but requires different care.
Can the straps be adjusted for different instep heights?
Yes, the two wide straps feature adjustable metal pin buckles, allowing you to customize the fit across the top of your foot for optimal comfort and security.
What is the sole height?
The sole height at the highest point is approximately 3.5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal pin buckles on the two wide straps to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Loosen for more room, tighten for a more secure feel.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common during the break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods and gradually increase wear time. The cork footbed will mold to your foot's shape.
Slipping on smooth surfaces.
Ensure the EVA outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for grip, very smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a slip risk. Use caution in such conditions.
Discoloration on the leather footbed.
This can occur due to moisture or natural foot oils. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid wearing with wet socks.
