FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Birkenstocks are designed with specific sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to Birkenstock's sizing chart. The sandals should feel snug but not tight, with adequate space in the toe box and heel cup.
Can I wear my Birkenstock Arizona sandals in water?
It is not recommended to wear the suede and cork Arizona sandals in water. Water can damage the suede material and cause the cork footbed to break down.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
With proper care, the cork footbed can last for many years. Factors like wear frequency, weight, and environmental conditions can affect its lifespan. Birkenstock also offers refurbishment services for worn footbeds.
Is the suede material waterproof?
No, suede is not inherently waterproof. It is susceptible to water damage and staining. It is best to protect the suede from excessive moisture.
Can I put my Birkenstock Arizona sandals in the washing machine?
No, absolutely do not put Birkenstock Arizona sandals in the washing machine or dryer. This will damage the materials, especially the cork footbed and suede upper.
How do I clean the EVA sole?
The EVA sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry.
Are these sandals suitable for people with flat feet?
Yes, the contoured cork footbed provides significant arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with flatter arches seeking better foot alignment and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for short periods each day to allow the cork footbed to soften and mold to your foot's shape. Avoid wearing them for extended periods until they feel comfortable.
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a clean cloth, following the cleaner's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed seems to be losing its shape.
Ensure you are not exposing the sandals to excessive heat or moisture, which can degrade the cork. Clean the footbed with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. If significant degradation occurs, consider professional refurbishment options.
Straps feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the buckles on each strap to find the most comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the buckles are properly fastened after adjustment.
