FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

Birkenstock sandals are sized by length. There should be a small gap between your toes and the front of the footbed, and a similar gap behind your heel. The arch support should align comfortably under your foot's natural arch.

Can I wear these in water?

While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the cork footbed and suede lining are not designed for prolonged water exposure and can be damaged. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.

How long does the footbed take to mold to my foot?

The break-in period varies per individual, but typically it takes a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear for the cork footbed to significantly conform to your unique foot shape.

What is Birkibuc material?

Birkibuc is a durable, synthetic material developed by Birkenstock. It has a nubuck leather-like texture and a soft, felt-like backing for added comfort.

How should I store my Birkenstocks?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to prevent the materials from degrading or warping.

Are these suitable for people with flat feet?

The contoured footbed offers significant arch support, which can be beneficial for many people. However, individuals with very severe flat feet should consult with a podiatrist.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

The cork footbed may need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as the footbed molds to your foot.

Straps are too loose or too tight

Adjust the metal buckles on each strap. You can move the buckle to different notches on the strap to customize the fit.

Cork footbed appears dry or chalky

This is natural for cork. You can use a specialized cork sealant or a damp cloth to clean and rehydrate the footbed. Avoid excessive moisture.

Discoloration on the Birkibuc upper

Clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable synthetic upper is easy to clean and maintain.
  • Provides excellent arch support and overall foot comfort for prolonged wear.
  • Versatile design suitable for casual everyday use.
  • Lightweight construction minimizes fatigue during wear.

Cons

  • Material can be damaged by prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
  • May require a break-in period for the cork footbed to fully conform to the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Birkenstock Arizona Birkibuc Sandals require no assembly. They are ready to wear upon purchase. Adjust the two buckles on each sandal to achieve your desired fit.

Compatibility: These sandals are designed for adult wear and are suitable for most foot types, especially those benefiting from arch support. The adjustable straps accommodate a range of foot widths.

Care Instructions:

  • Upper Material (Birkibuc): Clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean. Allow to air dry.
  • Footbed: The cork footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the footbed. For odors, a sprinkle of baking soda can help, then brush off after a few hours.
  • Lining (Suede): Use a suede brush to clean. For stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products.
  • Sole (EVA): Clean with water and mild soap. Wipe dry.
  • Avoid Extreme Heat: Do not leave the sandals in direct sunlight or hot environments for extended periods, as this can damage the cork and adhesive.
