FAQs
How do I break in my new Birkenstock Arizona sandals?
Wear them for short periods around the house for the first few days to allow the cork-latex footbed to gradually mold to your feet.
Can I get my Birkenstocks wet?
It is best to avoid getting them wet, as prolonged moisture can damage the cork footbed and the adhesive used in construction.
How should the straps be adjusted?
The straps should be snug enough to hold the sandal securely to your foot, but loose enough that you can easily slip a finger between the strap and your foot.
How do I clean the footbed?
Use a specialized suede brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt. Do not submerge the sandals in water.
Are these suitable for arch support?
Yes, the Arizona features a signature contoured footbed specifically designed to provide superior anatomical arch support.
How long do these sandals usually last?
With proper care and by avoiding excessive heat or moisture, the high-quality materials are designed for long-term, multi-season durability.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new sandals. Wear them for short intervals indoors to allow your natural foot movement to break in the cork footbed.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the metal buckles one hole at a time to find the ideal tension that keeps the sandal secure on your foot without pinching the skin.
Visible wear on the footbed surface
Regularly brush the footbed with a suede brush to lift the pile and remove dust, which helps maintain the material's integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last, begin by wearing them for shorter periods (1-2 hours) initially to allow the footbed to soften. When adjusting the fit, ensure the straps are snug but do not restrict circulation. For maintenance, keep the sandals away from extreme heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight in a hot car, as this can damage the cork. Clean the straps with a soft cloth and the footbed with a suede brush to remove debris. If the footbed becomes damp, allow it to air-dry naturally at room temperature rather than using a hairdryer.
