FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size.
Can these be worn in the rain?
No, it is best to avoid getting your leather Birkenstocks wet, as moisture can damage both the leather and the cork footbed.
How long does it take to break them in?
Depending on usage, it typically takes 2 to 4 weeks of regular wear for the footbed to fully contour to your foot.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is a permanent part of the construction. However, with proper care, it is designed to last for years.
Are these suitable for arch support?
Yes, the Arizona series is specifically designed with an anatomical footbed to provide significant arch support and stability.
How do I clean the leather straps?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for 1-2 hours at a time inside the house until the materials become more supple.
Buckles scratching the skin
Ensure the straps are adjusted so the buckles do not press directly into the skin; you may need to punch an extra hole if your feet are narrower.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Arizona sandals remain in top condition, keep the following in mind:
- Initial Fit: Ensure your toes and heel have adequate room within the footbed edges; the straps should be snug but not restrictive.
- Break-in Process: Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow the material to flex and conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth. If the footbed becomes dirty, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, but avoid soaking the sandals.
- Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight to prevent the leather and cork from drying out or cracking.
