Birkenstock Arizona SFB Blue Oiled Leather - Narrow

The legendary Arizona is for many, the epitome of the Birkenstock sandal and has been one of the most popular models, delighting wearers worldwide for decades. The iconic design is simple, a two-strap upper that can be individually adjusted to the wearer’s feet using two sturdy buckles complemented with the signature comfort of the Birkenstock footbed – guaranteeing a good fit and firm support. The variety of available materials and colours make the model a sandal for all walks of life.

Oiled leathers are designed to appear stressed and rustic looking. Leather conditioner will minimise this look. A lot of this occurs when the shoes are in transit as the paper rubs against the shoes and the shoes themselves jostle one another in the box creating scratches or scuffs on the leather. This can be worked out using your fingertips. The leather can appear dryer(lighter) in patches where the oil has dispersed or darker where the oil has settled. When you bend the straps or move the leather the colour will change frequently showing up crackly as the oil disperses.
