FAQs
How do I determine my correct Birkenstock size?
Birkenstock sizing is based on the length of your foot. It is recommended to measure your foot and consult the Birkenstock size chart. The Arizona model has adjustable straps, which help accommodate width variations.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear suede Birkenstocks in wet conditions as the suede material can be damaged by water, leading to staining and a change in texture. The cork footbed can also be affected by excessive moisture.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary for each individual. Some find them comfortable from the first wear, while others may need a few days to a couple of weeks for the cork footbed to fully conform to their foot's unique shape.
Are these sandals suitable for plantar fasciitis?
Many users with plantar fasciitis find the anatomically shaped cork footbed and supportive design of Birkenstocks beneficial due to the excellent arch support and cushioning.
How should I store my Birkenstock Arizona sandals?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Keeping them in a box or dust bag can help protect the suede from dust and potential damage.
Can the suede be waterproofed?
While you can use specific suede waterproofing sprays, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Be aware that some treatments might alter the color or texture of the suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is normal as the cork footbed needs time to break in and mold to your foot shape. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the buckles on the cross straps to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are evenly tensioned.
Water damage to suede
If the suede gets wet, blot immediately with a dry cloth and let the sandals air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, brush with a suede brush.

Care Instructions:
- Upper (Suede): Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and maintain its texture. For stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and follow product instructions. Avoid getting the suede wet; if they do get damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Footbed (Cork): The cork footbed will naturally conform to your foot over time. To clean, lightly wipe the footbed with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the cork, as this can degrade the material.
- Footbed Lining (Natural Contact Layer): This is also typically suede. Care for it similarly to the upper suede, using a brush to maintain its nap.
- Sole (EVA Foam): Wipe the sole with a damp cloth as needed. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
