FAQs
How do I know if I need a regular or narrow fit?
Birkenstock typically offers 'regular' (often indicated by a filled-in foot symbol) and 'narrow' (often indicated by an outline of a foot) fits. The Arizona Natural Leather Sliders generally come in a regular fit, suitable for most foot widths.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the natural leather upper and cork footbed are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.
How long does the cork footbed last?
With proper care, the cork footbed can last for many years, molding to your foot and providing consistent support. Eventually, it may show wear and can be replaced by a professional.
Are these suitable for hiking or strenuous activity?
No, the Birkenstock Arizona sliders are designed for casual wear and light walking. They do not provide the necessary support or protection for hiking or strenuous activities.
How should I store my Birkenstocks when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
Can I put my Birkenstocks in the washing machine?
Never put Birkenstock sandals in a washing machine or dishwasher, as this will damage the natural materials like leather and cork.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the metal pin buckles on the straps to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for natural leather to restore moisture and flexibility.
Cork footbed feels uncomfortable initially
Wear the sliders for short periods initially to allow the cork footbed to mold to the shape of your foot. This break-in period typically improves comfort significantly.
Scuff marks on the leather
Use a leather eraser or a specialized leather cleaner to gently remove minor scuff marks. For deeper scratches, consider professional leather repair.

Care Instructions:
