Arizona

There aren’t a lot of design icons. But the Arizona is definitely one of them. Since their first appearance in 1973, the Arizona community has grown non-stop.

One for all

There are models for work and leisure, for inside and out, for women, men and children. It’s a doctor’s clog, an environmentally-friendly sandal and an it piece, available in every color and material combination imaginable. The Arizona combines different fashion points of view and generations: for some it’s a provocation and a calculated break with style, while for others it’s an expression of a life attitude and a symbol of belonging. Or maybe it’s just a sandal like no other.

it lasts forever and is among the most comfortable shoes on the market. So it’s no surprise that so many backpackers have traveled around the world in them.
