FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the Birkenstock sizing chart. The Arizona model should have about 1cm of space in front of your toes and behind your heel.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
While the EVA sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the leather and footbed.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period varies per individual, but often takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear for the footbed to conform to your foot's shape.
Are the gold buckles made of real gold?
No, the buckles are made of metal with a gold-tone finish. They are designed for aesthetic appeal and durability.
Can I wash my Birkenstock sandals?
You should not wash Birkenstock sandals in a machine or submerge them in water. Clean them using the recommended care instructions for leather and footbed.
What is the warranty on these sandals?
Birkenstock typically offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the official Birkenstock website or your retailer for specific warranty details.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Arizona model is known for its adjustable straps, which can accommodate a range of widths. However, Birkenstock also offers specific 'wide' or 'extra-wide' fits if needed.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable
The leather and cork footbed may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Avoid wearing them for extended periods until they feel comfortable.
Straps are too loose or too tight
Adjust the buckles on each strap to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are even on both sides.
Footbed has white residue
This is normal for the cork-latex footbed and can be wiped away with a damp cloth. It is a natural reaction of the material.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and dry. The EVA sole provides grip, but like all footwear, performance may vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces.
