FAQs
Can I get my Birkenstock Arizona BS sandals wet?
While they are durable, the suede upper and cork footbed are not water-resistant. Excessive exposure to water can damage the material and weaken the cork; it is best to avoid wet conditions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your toes should have enough room to move freely without hitting the front edge, and your heel should sit comfortably within the deep heel cup of the footbed.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Many users with flat feet find the Birkenstock contoured footbed helpful because it provides firm arch support that encourages a more neutral foot alignment.
How often should I clean the suede?
You can clean them as needed, usually after visible dust or minor stains appear. A light brushing every few weeks helps maintain the appearance.
Can I replace the soles if they wear down?
Yes, Birkenstock sandals are designed for longevity and many authorized repair shops can resole the EVA outsole once it wears down.
Do these sandals come in different widths?
The Arizona BS is designed to be highly adjustable via the two straps, making it suitable for a variety of foot volumes.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff during the first few days of wear
The cork-latex footbed needs time to warm up and mold to your specific foot shape. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to adapt.
Suede straps appear dull or dusty
Gently rub the suede in one direction using a dedicated suede brush to restore the texture and remove trapped particles.
Footbed feels slippery against the skin
This is common with new suede-lined footbeds. It typically subsides as the material settles and interacts with the natural oils of your feet over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your sandals, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the two straps so the sandal feels secure but not constricting, allowing enough room for your feet to move naturally.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt from the suede straps.
- Suede Maintenance: Periodically use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove dust or debris, keeping the material soft.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can dry out the cork and cause it to crack.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid wearing these in heavy rain or puddles to prevent damage to the suede and premature degradation of the footbed.
