Full details
The Birkenstock Arizona Suede sandals are designed for adults seeking a blend of long-term ergonomic support and casual style. These iconic double-strap sandals provide superior arch support through their signature anatomically shaped cork and latex footbed, making them an excellent choice for everyday wear. While the suede material offers a soft, premium feel, it requires careful maintenance to protect against moisture and stains, as the fabric is not waterproof.

FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork footbed are not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or water submersion.
How should I clean the footbed?
Wipe the footbed with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally in a shaded area.
How do I break them in?
Wear them for short periods at home for the first few days. This allows the cork to warm up and shape itself to your feet.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is designed to be very durable, Birkenstock does offer repair services for resoling and footbed replacement through authorized centers.
Are the buckles adjustable?
Yes, both straps feature metal buckles that can be adjusted to achieve your preferred tension and fit.
What size should I choose?
The Arizona fits true to size for most adults. Refer to the UK sizing provided to ensure a comfortable fit for your specific foot length.
Troubleshooting
The cork edges are starting to look dry or brittle.
Apply a thin layer of cork sealer to the exposed cork edges to prevent them from crumbling and to maintain structural integrity.
The suede upper has developed light water stains.
Use a suede eraser to gently buff out the stain and use a soft brush to lift the nap of the leather back to its original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of genuine suede, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific water repellent spray before first wear to protect against light rain and dirt. If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources, as high temperatures can damage the cork. For the straps, a suede brush can be used to restore the nap and remove loose dust. Store your sandals in a cool, dry place when not in use, and avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for long durations to prevent fading or material degradation.
