FAQs
Are these sandals unisex?
Yes, the Arizona series is designed as a unisex product suitable for both men and women.
How should the sandal fit?
Your toes should have room to move freely, and your heel should sit snugly within the deep heel cup of the footbed.
Can I get the sandals wet?
While the synthetic upper is durable, it is best to avoid complete submersion in water to protect the cork-latex footbed.
Are they made in Germany?
Yes, all Birkenstock sandals are manufactured in Germany to maintain high production standards.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made from EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), which is a lightweight, flexible material known for shock absorption.
How do I know my correct size?
Birkenstock sizes are based on European standards. Refer to the size guide to match your UK foot measurements accurately.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels hard or uncomfortable initially
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear them for 1-2 hours per day initially until the material softens and molds to your foot.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the metal buckles to match your foot volume. Ensure the strap is snug enough to hold your foot securely without restricting circulation.
Microfiber lining shows signs of wear
Gently clean the surface with a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove debris that can cause abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper care is essential. When you first wear them, do so for short intervals to allow the cork to mold to your foot shape gradually. For cleaning the synthetic upper, wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid exposing the sandals to excessive heat, such as leaving them in a hot car or near radiators, as this can damage the cork-latex integrity. If the footbed becomes dirty, use a specialized leather or suede cleaner lightly on the microfiber lining. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup.
