FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the leather and cork construction is not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain or submerged in water.
How should the sandal fit?
There should be a small gap between your toes and the front edge, as well as behind your heel, to allow for natural foot expansion.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the Arizona silhouette is a popular choice for pairing with socks for a comfortable, casual look.
What material is the upper?
The upper is made of high-quality nubuck leather, which provides a soft, matte finish.
Is the sole replaceable?
Birkenstock soles are durable, but if they wear down over time, it is recommended to visit an authorized cobbler for professional repair.
Are these shoes unisex?
While listed by specific attributes, the Arizona design is a classic unisex style suitable for anyone who appreciates the fit and support.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
The cork-latex footbed is designed to soften and mold to your feet over time; wear them for short periods at first until the material adapts.
Buckles rubbing against the foot
Adjust the strap tension slightly to change the buckle position or ensure the straps are evenly distributed across the instep.
Leather looks dull
Use a specialized nubuck brush to restore the nap and remove dust, which will help revive the matte appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last, begin by adjusting the straps so they are snug but not tight; you should be able to fit a finger between the strap and your foot. For maintenance, keep the leather away from excessive moisture. Clean the nubuck leather by gently brushing with a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede or nubuck to remove surface dirt. The cork edge can be maintained with a thin layer of cork sealer if it begins to look dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the cork from cracking or the leather from drying out.
