Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle - White - UK 5.5

No, the suede and cork materials are not designed for wet conditions and can be damaged by excessive moisture.

The buckles have multiple holes. You can lift the pin and reinsert it into a different hole on the strap to adjust the tightness.

The 'Big Buckle' refers to the oversized, prominent metal pin buckles on each strap, offering a stylish detail and precise adjustability.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect the materials.

While designed to be worn barefoot, some people prefer to wear them with thin socks, especially in cooler weather. However, be mindful of potential color transfer from the suede.

Birko-Flor® is a durable, skin-friendly synthetic material used by Birkenstock for its uppers. It's easy to care for and provides a comfortable fit.

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

Consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water, as it can damage suede.

Adjust the position of the pin within the buckle holes on each strap until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved.

This can sometimes occur with new suede products, especially in darker colors or when damp. Wear with darker socks initially or allow the shoes to air out thoroughly before wearing with lighter socks.
