German tradition meets Italian handcraftsmanship: the sand-colored Arizona sandal represents BIRKENSTOCK’s first use of raffia, a woven synthetic fiber that gives the shoe its precious note. In elegant sandy colors, the sandal really brings out the tan of sun-kissed skin and feels like bare feet walking on warm sand. The anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed and EVA sole lend the sandal legerity.
Anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed
Upper: Synthetic fibers
Footbed lining: leather
Sole: light sole made from EVA (synthetic material)
For this shoe, a combination of materials was used. You can find more information on our main materials in our Material Guide.
Insole: Natural leather
Natural leather can be recognized by its untreated surface. BIRKENSTOCK purposely does not treat surface grains and other characteristic features. BIRKENSTOCK uses sturdy leather with a thickness of 2.8 to 3.2 millimeters as upper material.
Footbed material: Cork
Cork is a sustainable material extracted from the bark layer of the cork oak. This natural product is insulating and offers very good cushioning.
Outsole: EVA
EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is a high-quality, very light, elastic material with extremely good cushioning. As a result, it smooths out slight irregularities in the floor and ensures that every step is softly cushioned.
