- When does Birkenstock go on sale?
- Birkenstock discounts cluster around end-of-season clearance, typically late summer for sandals and late winter for closed-back and shearling styles. Retailers like 6pm.com and Nordstrom Rack run deeper cuts on discontinued colors and narrow widths. Full-price core colors rarely drop.
- Where is the Arizona cheapest?
- It depends on color, width and size. The Arizona Flowers in baby blue, size 36 narrow, is $71.40 at 6pm.com as of the listing date, 51% off. Compare the same size and width across stores, since narrow and wide fits are priced and stocked separately.
- What is the difference between the Arizona and the Arizona Shearling?
- The standard Arizona has a suede or leather upper over the cork-latex footbed. The Shearling version adds a shearling lining and a shearling-covered footbed for warmth, so it runs softer and warmer but less breathable in summer.
- How does the Arizona fit?
- The footbed is rigid and takes a week or two to break in. Birkenstock offers narrow and regular widths, and the straps adjust with buckles. Size to the footbed, not to extra room; most people take their usual European size.
- What is the return policy?
- Returns depend on the store, not Birkenstock. Check the specific retailer's window and whether worn footwear is accepted, since footbeds show wear quickly and many stores refuse returns on used sandals.
