FAQs
How do I know if I have the correct size?
The sandals should offer a comfortable fit with adequate space for your toes and heel. Your heel should not be hanging over the edge, and there should be a small gap between your toes and the front edge of the footbed. The adjustable straps help secure the fit.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede Birkenstocks in the rain. The suede material is sensitive to moisture and can be damaged, leading to staining and potential degradation of the material. The EVA sole offers some grip, but the upper is not water-resistant.
How often should I clean my suede sandals?
Clean your suede sandals as needed, typically when they appear dusty or soiled. Regular brushing with a suede brush can help maintain the material's appearance. Avoid wearing them in conditions that will cause them to get excessively dirty or wet.
What is the difference between the 'BS' and regular Arizona models?
The 'BS' in Arizona BS often refers to the specific type of buckle or a minor design variation. The core features, such as the cork footbed and two-strap design, remain consistent across Arizona models. Always refer to specific product details for exact specifications.
How do I care for the cork footbed?
The cork footbed should be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the footbed in water. Over time, the cork will naturally adapt to the shape of your foot, enhancing comfort. You can also use cork sealant periodically to protect it from drying out.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Birkenstock Arizona features an anatomically shaped, wide footbed designed to accommodate most foot types, including those that are relatively wide. The two adjustable straps provide further customization for a secure and comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Birkenstock cork footbeds often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short intervals initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will conform to your foot's shape over time.
Suede upper shows water stains
Allow the sandals to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider using a suede protector spray for future use, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Buckles are difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckle prong is correctly inserted into one of the strap holes. If the strap is stiff, gently flex it. Avoid forcing the buckle, which could damage the strap.
Footbed feels slippery after cleaning
Ensure the footbed is completely dry before wearing. If the slipperiness persists, lightly brush the footbed lining with a suede brush to restore texture.

Care Instructions:

- Footbed (Cork-Latex): Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this can degrade the cork.
- Footbed Lining (Suede): Gently wipe with a damp cloth. You can use specialized suede cleaners if necessary, following product instructions.
- Outsole (EVA): Clean with water and mild soap if needed. Rinse and air dry.
Important: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture, as this can damage the suede and cork materials.
