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 Arizona should fit snugly but not tightly, with a small gap between your toes and the edge of the footbed.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. While the EVA sole can handle some moisture, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period varies per individual but usually lasts a few days to a couple of weeks. Start with short wear times and gradually increase them as the footbed conforms to your foot.

Are these suitable for people with flat feet?

Yes, the anatomically shaped footbed with pronounced arch support is beneficial for many individuals, including those with flat feet, as it helps to provide stability and comfort.

How do I clean the black suede material?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.

What is the difference between the Soft Footbed and the regular footbed?

The Soft Footbed features an additional layer of cushioning foam integrated into the traditional cork-latex footbed, providing extra comfort and shock absorption.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels stiff initially.

The cork footbed may require a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will mold to your foot shape over time.

Straps feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the buckles on the straps to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the buckles are fastened correctly.

Suede material shows water spots.

Allow the sandals to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider applying a suede protector spray to help prevent future water damage.

Slipping sensation on the footbed.

Ensure feet are dry, as moisture can reduce grip on the suede. If the issue persists after the break-in period, consider a suede protector spray or ensure the footbed is clean.
