FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Birkenstock sizing can differ from standard shoe sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot and consult the brand's size chart. The Arizona BS also offers adjustability with its straps for a more personalized fit.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the EVA sole offers some grip, the suede upper and cork footbed are not designed for wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the suede and affect the integrity of the footbed. It's best to wear them in dry conditions.
How long does the cork footbed typically take to break in?
The break-in period varies per individual but usually ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear. The footbed will gradually conform to the unique contours of your feet.
What is the difference between Arizona BS and other Arizona models?
The 'BS' in Arizona BS typically refers to the Birkibuc material or specific construction details. Always refer to the detailed product description for precise differences, but generally, they share the core Arizona design with minor variations.
Can I clean the suede with water?
It is not recommended to clean suede with water as it can lead to staining and damage. Use a suede brush or a specialized suede cleaner for maintenance and spot cleaning.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The contoured cork footbed is designed with arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with moderately flat feet. However, for specific medical conditions, consulting a podiatrist is advised.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser or specialized cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed feels stiff initially.
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in comfortably.
Straps feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the buckles on the two wide straps to achieve a secure and comfortable fit for each foot.
Sandals get wet.
Gently pat them dry with a soft cloth and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid submerging them in water.
