FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Birkenstock sandals are sized differently than typical shoes. It's recommended to measure your foot length and consult the Birkenstock sizing chart. The Arizona typically fits best when there is a small amount of space in front of and behind your foot.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear Birkenstock Arizona sandals in prolonged wet conditions, especially as the suede lining and cork footbed can be damaged by excessive moisture.
How long does the cork footbed last?
With proper care, the cork footbed can last for many years. However, it will eventually wear down and may need replacement by a professional if the support diminishes.
How should I clean the Birkibuc upper?
Wipe the Birkibuc upper with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild soap diluted in water, and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
What is the difference between Birkibuc and Suede?
Birkibuc is a durable, synthetic material designed to resemble suede, offering easier care. Suede is a natural leather product with a soft, napped finish that requires more specialized cleaning and protection.
Are these sandals good for walking long distances?
Yes, the anatomically shaped cork footbed provides excellent support, making them suitable for walking. However, consider your personal comfort and the terrain. They are best suited for moderate distances on comfortable surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the metal pin buckles on the double straps to achieve your desired fit. Ensure the buckle is secured properly.
Footbed feels stiff initially
This is normal. Wear the sandals for short periods each day to allow the cork footbed to gradually mold to the shape of your feet.
Suede lining shows marks or discoloration
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove light marks. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting the suede wet.
Sandals feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the EVA outsole is clean. While designed for grip, extremely smooth or wet surfaces may reduce traction. Wear with caution in such conditions.
