Birkenstock Arizona sandals are popular as everyday sandals for women and men, as well as unisex sandals. But the range can be more complicated than it first appears. The difference between leather and Birko-Flor, choosing between a regular or narrow fit, and getting the size wrong can all affect how comfortable your sandals feel.
Before you buy, watch out for these common pitfalls:
A Birkenstock Arizona leather model has a natural leather upper. The dark brown and black models also have a suede lining and a cork footbed. Leather can change in appearance with wear and needs to be cared for with a suitable leather care product. Wiping it with a soft, slightly damp cloth is a good starting point; it isn’t suitable for machine washing.
Birkenstock Arizona Birko-Flor models have a synthetic upper. According to the product description, this material is tear-resistant and easy to care for. Dirt can be removed with a soft, damp cloth. Don’t use bleach or harsh cleaners. Bear in mind that these models may also have a leather insole or suede footbed lining. So, “synthetic” doesn’t mean every part of the sandal is synthetic.
The models in this selection have an anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed and an EVA sole. According to the product information, the footbed is designed to adapt to your foot as you wear it. This is a product feature, not a guarantee that every wearer will have the same experience.
The EVA sole is lightweight and flexible. When buying, check that the footbed visibly fits your foot well and that there’s enough room around your toes. A sandal shouldn’t be so short that your toes or heel extend over the edge.
The Arizona is a two-strap sandal. Both straps have a metal buckle, so you can adjust each one separately. This is useful if you want a different fit around your forefoot and instep.
For the available Birkenstock sandals in sizes 36 to 45, don’t rely on the EU size alone. The supplied size chart includes these guidelines:
The stated foot width varies by size. For size 42, for example, the stated width is approximately 93–107 mm. Measure both feet while standing and use the longer foot as your guide. If your feet are relatively narrow, look for a narrow-fit model too. An adjustable buckle doesn’t automatically make a sandal suitable for every foot shape.
Why it suits this profile: The Birko-Flor upper is practical for everyday wear, and the size 39 is described as true to size in the product information.
The materials information makes it clear that the upper is Birko-Flor, while the insole is made from natural leather. This helps you avoid confusion about what the sandal is made of.
Two adjustable straps, a cork footbed and a lightweight EVA sole; clean with a soft, damp cloth.
Why it suits this profile: This model combines natural leather, a suede lining and a cork footbed in a classic dark brown colour.
The product description clearly lists the materials and care instructions. This means you can take leather care into account rather than choosing based on colour alone.
Natural leather upper, two metal buckles and an EVA outsole; size 45 corresponds to a foot length of approximately 286–290 mm.
Why it suits this profile: The basalt grey colour is easy to style, and the Birko-Flor upper is designed for straightforward everyday care.
The care advice is specific: wipe with a soft, damp cloth and leave to dry away from direct heat. This helps you avoid cleaning the sandals incorrectly.
Two adjustable straps, a cork footbed, suede footbed lining and a flexible EVA sole in size 40.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
The right size depends on your foot length and width. Some Birko-Flor models are described as “true to size” in the available product information. Even so, always check the specific product page, as models and width options can vary. Measure your feet and compare the results with the measurements in millimetres.
The models have two adjustable straps, a cork footbed and an EVA sole. They’re designed as open sandals for everyday wear. However, suitability depends on the fit, where you walk and how you care for them. They aren’t intended to replace closed work shoes or protective footwear.
Wipe Birko-Flor with a soft, damp cloth and leave the sandals to air-dry, away from radiators and direct sunlight. Treat natural leather with a suitable leather care product, following the product instructions. Neither version should be machine-washed or cleaned with bleach.
