FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
While they are durable, the cork footbed should not be submerged or exposed to heavy water, as it can compromise the materials.
Do I need to order a different size than my normal shoes?
Most users find the Birkenstock fit to be true to size, but since they are European-sized, we recommend referring to a size chart if you are between sizes.
How do I clean the upper material?
You can wipe the straps clean with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or laundry detergents.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is integrated into the structure of the sandal, but it is designed to last for a long duration with proper care.
Why does the footbed feel like it is changing shape?
That is the intended design; the cork-latex compound is meant to adapt to your foot's unique contours over time.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal; wear the sandals for 1-2 hours at a time during the first week to allow the cork to mold to your foot.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the metal buckles to a different hole setting to achieve a customized fit that holds your foot securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is essential for the comfort of the Arizona sandal. When first putting them on, ensure that your heel sits snugly within the heel cup and your toes have enough room in the front. Use the metal buckles to adjust each strap individually; they should be tight enough to stay secure on your foot without pinching the skin. For care, keep the cork footbed dry, as excessive water exposure can damage the bonding material. If the footbed becomes soiled, use a damp cloth to spot-clean the surface. Avoid leaving your sandals in direct, high-intensity sunlight for long periods, as this can dry out the cork and cause it to crack over time.
