FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Birkenstock sizing chart for UK 13. Ensure there is a small gap between your heel and the back of the footbed, and a similar gap at the front. The straps should allow for a snug but not tight fit.

Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?

It is not recommended to wear these sandals in wet conditions, especially with the suede insole, as it can lead to damage, staining, and discomfort. The Birko-Flor upper can tolerate light moisture, but prolonged exposure is not advised.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period varies for each individual but usually lasts from a few days to a couple of weeks. Wearing them for short periods initially will help the footbed adapt to your foot's unique shape.

Are these sandals suitable for athletic activities?

No, the BIRKENSTOCK Arizona sandals are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not provide the support or stability required for athletic activities.

How should I clean the suede insole?

Use a suede brush to gently clean dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Always test any cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What is the difference between the Soft Footbed and the regular footbed?

The Soft Footbed incorporates an additional layer of cushioning foam integrated into the cork-latex base, offering enhanced immediate comfort and shock absorption compared to the classic footbed.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too stiff initially

The cork-latex footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will mold to your foot's contours over time.

Straps are not staying in place

Ensure the buckles are securely fastened. If the straps are too long after adjustment, they might appear loose. Try adjusting to the tightest appropriate hole on the strap.

Suede insole feels damp or sticky

This can happen in humid conditions or with prolonged wear. Allow the sandals to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. You can use a suede brush to revive the texture once dry.

Discoloration on the Birko-Flor upper

Wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for synthetic leather alternatives, testing on a small area first.
