For a comfortable fit and classic style, slip on the Birkenstock Arizona Birkibuc Sandal. Made with Birkibuc, a sturdy synthetic material, these sandals look and feel like nubuck leather and have a smooth backing that won't irritate your skin. Underfoot, a contoured cork footbed molds to feet with a deep heel cup and roomy toe box to cushion without sacrificing arch support. This take on Arizona is lined with supple suede and backed with a lightweight EVA sole for shock absorption and traction. These core Birkenstock sandals are finished with dual buckles at the strap for a perfect fit every time. The often imitated, never duplicated, category-defining, two-strap wonder from Birkenstock. A comfort legend and a fashion staple. With adjustable straps and a magical cork footbed that conforms to the shape of your foot, a truly custom fit is as effortless as the classic design. Known and respected worldwide for its incredibly comfortable, anatomically correct sandals, shoes, and clogs, Birkenstock footwear is designed specifically to mimic the shape of the healthy human foot. The original Birkenstock shoes were developed in Germany in 1897 by shoemaker Konrad Birkenstock, and by 1966, Californian Margot Fraser discovered the shoes while vacationing in Germany, and began to import them into the United States. Within a decade, Birkenstocks became just as well known and trusted in America, where the brand continues to be an icon of comfortable footwear.
