FAQs

How do I know if I have the correct size?

The ideal fit allows for a small space (about a finger's width) between the edge of your foot and the edge of the footbed. Your heel should sit comfortably within the heel cup, and your toes should not extend over the front edge.

Can I wear my Birkenstocks in the rain?

While the natural leather can withstand light moisture, it is not recommended to wear Birkenstocks in heavy rain or submerge them in water, as this can damage the leather and the cork footbed.

How often should I clean my Birkenstocks?

Regular cleaning with a dry or slightly damp cloth is recommended for the leather and footbed. Deep cleaning or conditioning should be done as needed, typically when the materials appear dry or show signs of wear.

Will the cork footbed break down over time?

The cork-latex footbed is designed for durability. With proper care, it can last for many years. However, like any material, it will show signs of wear over extended use. Specialized products are available to help maintain the cork.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The Birkenstock Arizona features two adjustable straps, which allow for a degree of width customization. Many find them accommodating for wider feet, but it's always best to try them on if possible.

What is the difference between oiled leather and regular leather for Birkenstocks?

Oiled leather has been treated with natural oils, giving it a slightly richer, more rugged appearance and enhanced water resistance compared to standard smooth leather. It may require slightly different care products.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too firm or uncomfortable initially.

This is common as the cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will conform to your foot's shape.

Leather upper is stiff or creased.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for natural leather to the upper. Gently work it in and allow it to absorb. Avoid over-conditioning.

Suede insole feels rough or dirty.

Use a suede brush to restore the texture and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Ensure the insole is completely dry before brushing.

Straps are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the buckles are clean and free of debris. The leather straps may require gentle flexing to become more pliable. Do not force the buckles.
