Oversized Items — $40 Flat Return Shipping Fee

Some bulky products (large tents, certain hard goods, oversized equipment, and similar) ship via oversized carriers and are flagged as Oversized Item on the product page before you complete your order. The flat $40 return shipping fee that applies to these items is disclosed at the time of ordering, so you'll know upfront if your item qualifies.

If you later choose to return the item, the $40 return shipping fee will be deducted from your refund or store credit when your return is processed. The returns portal will surface this fee for you again when you start the return, so there are no surprises.

If your oversized item arrived damaged, defective, or as a result of our error, the $40 fee is waived and return shipping is on us. If you're unsure whether your item qualifies as oversized, or you have questions before placing an order or starting a return, please reach out — we'd rather talk it through with you first so you aren’t caught off guard!

The fastest way to start a return or exchange is right in our returns portal. Enter your order number and zip code, choose the item(s) you'd like to return or exchange, tell us why, and we'll generate a prepaid shipping label for you on the spot.

If your return is due to our error or a defective item, shipping is always on us — no exceptions, including no oversized-item fees.

The Arizona you know, retooled for ground that isn't a sidewalk. The CT — short for Crosstown — keeps everything that made the original a fifty-year staple: the anatomically contoured cork-latex footbed with its deep heel cup, longitudinal and transverse arch support and raised toe bar, and two adjustable straps with metal pin buckles that let you dial the fit in exactly. What changes is underneath. Instead of the classic flat EVA sole, the Crosstown rides on a lightweight polyurethane sole with a genuine traction pattern, so gravel, wet pavement and the walk in from the trailhead stop being a reason to change shoes.

The upper is oiled leather, and that is the other half of the story. It starts deep and matte, then takes on a patina as it flexes and creases around your foot, so the pair you own in three summers looks nothing like the one in the photo — in the good way. A suede lining keeps the footbed comfortable against bare skin. Cork needs a week or two of a few hours a day before it stops feeling firm and starts feeling like it was made for you; that break-in is the whole point of a Birkenstock. Just keep them out of the water — cork and oiled leather both suffer for a soaking.

Features

Anatomically contoured cork-latex footbed that moulds to your foot for custom support
Rugged polyurethane sole with a real traction pattern — grippier than the classic EVA Arizona
Oiled leather upper that develops a patina as you wear it
Suede footbed lining
Two adjustable straps with metal pin buckles
Unisex European sizing in whole sizes

Materials & Care

Upper material: Oiled leather — a heritage finish that darkens and picks up character as it creases around your foot.
Footbed: Anatomically contoured natural cork and latex, lined in suede leather.
Sole material: Polyurethane — lightweight, flexible and durable, with a rugged traction pattern.
Care: Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat. Never submerge — soaking swells the cork and strips the oils out of the leather.

Size & Fit

Birkenstock uses European sizing in whole sizes only. This style runs EU 41–46, unisex.
It runs large against US numbering — most people take one size down from their usual US size. Use the size guide on this page for the exact conversion.
Aim for a few millimetres of space in front of your toes. Your toes should sit behind the raised toe bar, never on it.
Between two sizes? Size up rather than down — the footbed needs room to cradle the whole foot.
Regular width. Both straps open out on metal pin buckles, so there is real room to adjust across a wider or higher instep.

Widths: Regular vs. Narrow

Birkenstock styles come in two widths. Regular fits medium to wide feet (women's width equivalent C - D; men's D - EE). Narrow fits narrow to medium feet (women's width equivalent A - B; men's B - C) - the Narrow width fits most women's feet. Look for the footprint icon online and on the shoe box: an outlined footprint means Regular width, a filled footprint means Narrow width.

Testing the Fit

Before trying them on, flex the footbed by placing one hand under the toe and one under the heel - this begins the break-in period. Open all the straps, step in, then fasten them comfortably. Your toes should not touch the edge of the footbed; aim for about 1/4 inch of space around your foot. While breaking them in, keep the straps loose at first, wear them around the house for 1 - 2 hours at a time, and gradually increase wear time as the footbed molds to your feet.
