The Birkenstock Arizona is a true classic. Inspired by the cork sandal, this model is made from EVA. The high-quality, odor-neutral, and pollutant-tested plastic EVA combines many positive properties. It is very lightweight, highly elastic, waterproof, skin-friendly, and offers the familiar Birkenstock comfort. The meticulously thought-out construction, modeled after the natural footprint of a foot in sand, helps ensure that the feet can endure many hours in shoes with minimal strain. This supports health and promotes well-being. The particularly deep shaping in the heel area supports the foot tissue and keeps the heel bone stable in its natural position. As a result, the foot has nearly the same strong support in a sandal as it does in a closed shoe. The longitudinal arch supports running along the sides of the footbed encompass the ankle bone both inside and outside, providing the necessary stability upon impact. The transverse support in the middle of the footbed stabilizes the metatarsal bones. This way, the transverse arch support encourages a natural, straight, and firm stance of the foot. The front part of the footbed in the toe area is equipped with intermediate elevations. Thanks to the toe grips, the toes remain relaxed and spread in their natural position. The footbed is particularly raised at the front, and the high edge protects the toes during the rolling motion.
