The Birkenstock Arizona Birko-Flor basalt grey is a practical choice if you’re looking for neutral Birkenstock Arizona sandals with two adjustable straps. Still, it’s worth looking beyond the colour and brand name. The wrong size, an unsuitable fit or unclear material information could make your sandals less comfortable than expected.
Basalt grey is easy to pair with jeans, linen clothing and casual outfits. But the colour tells you nothing about the fit or materials. Always check the product variant, available EU size and material composition. The models in this selection have a Birko-Flor synthetic upper, a cork footbed and an EVA outsole.
The product information describes the fit of these Arizona variants as “true to size”. That’s a useful starting point, but feet vary in both length and width. Your sandals shouldn’t be too short, and your toes shouldn’t hang over the edge. At the same time, your foot shouldn’t slide so far forwards that your heel sits outside the footbed.
Also check the type of footbed. A model with a regular fit feels different from one with extra room. Before buying, check the size guide and compare it with a pair of sandals that already fits you well.
The two metal buckles let you adjust the straps, but they don’t change the shape of the footbed. The straps are useful if you want to wear the sandal a little looser or tighter around your instep or forefoot. They won’t fix the wrong size.
Birko-Flor is a synthetic material that, according to the product description, is easy to care for and tear-resistant. It’s a good choice if you don’t want a smooth leather upper and plan to wipe your sandals down regularly. However, this doesn’t mean you can leave them outside without looking after them.
Clean the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Don’t use bleach or harsh cleaners, and leave the sandals to air-dry away from direct heat and strong sunlight.
The contoured cork-latex footbed is designed to cradle your foot and provide support as you walk. The product information also states that the footbed has a suede lining. This may be important if you’re looking for a sandal with a structured footbed rather than a completely flat sole.
Bear in mind that cork is a natural material. Prolonged exposure to water or heat, or storing the sandals somewhere damp, can affect their lifespan. These sandals are therefore best suited to everyday summer wear in dry weather and under normal conditions.
The sole is made from lightweight, flexible EVA. This helps keep the sandals light and makes them suitable for walking, travelling, running errands or wearing around the house. The sole doesn’t guarantee a particular walking experience: the surface, fit and your personal preferences all play a part.
The two metal buckles make these Birkenstock sandals with two straps practical for different foot shapes. Just make sure the straps don’t pinch and that you have enough room around your toes.
The options below are all in the same basalt grey Arizona style, but are available in different EU sizes. Each product page shows the exact size of that variant.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Start with your usual EU size, then check the size guide on the product page for your chosen variant. These variants are described as “true to size”. Measure both feet, and if you’re between sizes, choose based on your larger foot. Also make sure there’s enough room around your toes and that your heel sits securely.
Yes. According to the product care instructions, you can wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Don’t machine-wash the sandals or use bleach or harsh cleaning products. Leave them to air-dry naturally and keep them away from radiators and other direct heat sources.
The combination of a contoured cork-latex footbed, suede lining, adjustable straps and an EVA sole makes them suitable for everyday use. They’re a good choice for running errands, commuting, holidays and walking on paved surfaces. They’re not specifically designed for wet conditions, strenuous outdoor activities or use in water, so always check the care advice and usage restrictions.
