FAQs

How do I adjust the straps for the best fit?

Unbuckle the large metal pin buckle on each strap. Select the hole that provides a snug yet comfortable fit around your foot. Re-secure the buckle through the chosen hole. Repeat for the other strap.

Can I wear these sandals in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these sandals in the rain. The suede footbed lining is susceptible to water damage and staining, and the cork footbed can degrade if repeatedly exposed to moisture.

How do I clean the Birko-Flor® upper?

Wipe the Birko-Flor® upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution sparingly and then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Do not use harsh solvents.

What is the difference between the regular Arizona and the Big Buckle version?

The main difference is the size of the metal pin buckles. The Big Buckle version features larger, more prominent buckles for a bolder aesthetic statement.

How long does it take for the cork footbed to break in?

The break-in period varies per individual, typically ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear. The footbed will gradually adapt to the unique contours of your foot.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the two independently adjustable straps allow for a customized fit, making them adaptable for various foot widths, including wider feet.

How should I store my Birkenstock sandals?

Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent damage to the materials.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common as the cork footbed conforms to your foot's unique shape. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Avoid prolonged initial wear.

Suede footbed shows water stains.

Water stains on suede are difficult to remove completely. Once dry, try using a suede brush or eraser. Prevention is key: avoid wearing in wet conditions.

Straps are difficult to adjust.

Ensure the metal pin buckle is properly aligned with the holes. If resistance is high, gently flex the strap. Avoid forcing the buckle, which could damage the material.

Squeaking noise from footbed.

This can occur due to friction or moisture. Ensure the footbed is dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the footbed (if removable) or along the edges might help. If the noise persists, it may be a material characteristic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle requires no assembly. Upon receiving your sandals, simply adjust the straps using the metal pin buckles to achieve a comfortable and secure fit for each foot.

Compatibility:

These sandals are designed for adult female wearers. They are compatible with most casual attire. Due to the materials used, they are best suited for dry conditions and are not recommended for water-based activities or very wet environments.

Care:

  • Upper (Birko-Flor®): Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Footbed Lining (Suede): Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For minor stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid getting the suede wet, as it can stain or stiffen. Do not use water or soap directly on the suede.
  • Sole (EVA): Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before storing.
  • Buckles: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the metal finish.
