FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Birkenstock sizing can differ from other brands. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to Birkenstock's sizing chart. The adjustable straps also allow for some flexibility in fit.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
While the EVA sole offers some grip, the suede upper is not water-resistant and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing these sandals in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How long does it take for the footbed to mold to my foot?
The molding process varies per individual but typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear. You should begin to feel the footbed conforming to your arch and heel.
Can I wash my Birkenstock suede sandals?
No, you should not machine wash or fully submerge your suede Birkenstocks in water. Cleaning should be done with a suede brush and, if necessary, specialized suede cleaners. Allow to air dry naturally.
What is the main difference between the Arizona BS and the regular Arizona?
The 'BS' in Arizona BS typically refers to the brand's specific construction or material variations for that model, often indicating the type of buckle or footbed finish. Always check the specific product description for exact details.
Are these sandals suitable for people with plantar fasciitis?
Many users find the contoured cork-latex footbed beneficial for conditions like plantar fasciitis due to its arch support and cushioning. However, individual results may vary, and consulting a podiatrist is recommended.
How thick is the sole?
The sole height is approximately 3.5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the buckles on each strap to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The straps are designed to be fully customizable.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal as the cork-latex footbed molds to your unique foot shape. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. The footbed will soften and conform with use.
Suede material has a water stain.
Allow the sandal to air dry completely. Once dry, try using a suede brush to gently lift the nap and blend the stain. For stubborn stains, consult a suede care product guide.
Footbed feels slippery after light moisture.
This can occur with the suede lining. Ensure feet are dry before wearing. If moisture is an issue, consider using a fine layer of talcum powder on the footbed (test in an inconspicuous area first).
