The BIRKENSTOCK Arizona in Mocha Birkibuc is a versatile light-brown sandal that delivers the look and texture of nubuck leather, in a Regular Width without the upkeep. Birkibuc is a high-quality synthetic material with a soft brushed finish that feels like suede against the skin, while the classic cork-latex footbed offers signature Birkenstock comfort.

This non-leather version is ideal for anyone wanting the nubuck look with an easy-care finish. The warm mocha tone (sometimes listed as Mocca) pairs beautifully with neutral, tan, or earthy summer outfits.

Available in both Regular and Narrow fits.

      Material & Care – Birkibuc

      How to care:
      • Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
      • For tougher marks, use mild soap and a soft brush or toothbrush.
      • Avoid immersion in water or harsh detergents.
      • Let air dry naturally, away from heat and sunlight.
      • Keep cork edges sealed with Birkenstock Cork Sealer & Protector.

      FAQs – Mocha vs Dark Brown & Other Materials

      What’s the difference between Mocha Birkibuc and Dark Brown Birko-Flor?
      Mocha Birkibuc has a soft, suede-like finish and a lighter brown tone, while Dark Brown Birko-Flor has a smooth, polished surface that looks more like leather.

      Is Birkibuc leather?
      No. Birkibuc is a synthetic material that mimics the feel of nubuck leather but contains no animal-derived materials in the upper. The footbed, however, still features a suede (natural leather) lining.

      How does Mocha compare to Habana leather?
      Habana Oiled Leather is a richer, darker brown with a vintage finish, whereas Mocha Birkibuc is lighter and has a matte, velvety texture.

      Are Birkibuc Birkenstocks waterproof?
      No, they are water-resistant but not waterproof. If they get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat.

      CORK & FOOTBED CARE

       WATER EXPOSURE

      Do not immerse in water
      Our shoes should not be immersed in water as the glues and sealants can dissolve and the leather can become hard and brittle. If the buckles are exposed to salt water, carefully rinse them to avoid corrosion. If Birkenstocks become wet, allow them to dry slowly, away from direct heat. Our EVA collection is the only range that has been designed for use in and around water.
