FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Arizona features an adjustable two-strap design with large buckles, allowing for a customized fit that can often accommodate wider feet. However, individual fit can vary.
How do I clean the raffia straps?
Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the sandals to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the footbed made of?
The footbed is made of a contoured cork-latex blend, designed for anatomical support, with a suede lining for comfort.
Can I wear these sandals in the water?
While the EVA outsole offers some water resistance, the raffia upper and suede lining are not designed for prolonged water exposure and can be damaged. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
Do these sandals run true to size?
Birkenstock sandals generally run true to their stated size. It is recommended to consult a size chart and measure your foot for the best fit.
How do I break in new Birkenstocks?
The cork footbed will soften and mold to your foot with regular wear. Start by wearing them for short periods and gradually increase the duration.
What is the benefit of the Big Buckle design?
The oversized metal pin buckles provide a bold style statement while also allowing for more precise adjustment of the straps for a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the oversized metal pin buckles to achieve a secure and comfortable fit on each strap.
Footbed feels stiff initially
The cork-latex footbed is designed to conform to your foot with wear. Break them in gradually with short periods of use.
Raffia material looks dull or has minor marks
Use a soft brush to clean gently. For tougher marks, use a barely damp cloth and let air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Suede lining feels damp
Allow the sandals to air dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Use a suede brush to restore texture if needed.
