These are great. I have worn Birkenstocks for more than 12 years because I have heel spurs, and they help with the pain. I found the soft footbed to be a delightful addition to sandal I would have bought anyway! I just wish Birkenstock offered more of a sandal selection in these same styles that did not include animal product.

I keep tripping in them! My sister raved about her pair of Birkis with the soft footbed, so I bought some, too. I've worn Birkis for years and liked them, but couldn't tell a difference with this footbed. Biggest problem is that I've tripped several times in them (fallen up the stairs once, and fell in the driveway last week...ouch!!), so now I won't wear them anymore. Maybe the Arizona straps are more secure.

Very Comfortable and Stylish - I enjoy wearing these. The soft footbed is so comfortable. I will be looking for this type of footbed in the future. This sandal looks good for dress as well as casual.

Very comfortable shoe - For my very flat foot, this foot bed provides great form and comfort. My only wish would be for a more snug side fit.

No break-in time! It's been several years since I've purchased new Birks, and these are the best I've worn. I usually have to break them in before they're truly comfortable, but the soft foot bed makes this unnecessary. Love 'em.

No Orthotics - I wear orthotics with lace up shoes, but I can wear these Birks without pain!

The Soft Foot bed: How did we live without it? I've been wearing Birks almost exclusively since I was about 1993 (I do have some NB for exercising in). Since 1993, I've gotten married, comfortable, and rather fat, and had noticed that things like going down stairs were giving my knees trouble when I was wearing my Birks, but not in my NB. I thought it might have to do with Birks not having as much shock absorption, so when the soft foot bed came out, I was very interested. It's worth it too, these things are lovely to walk in. This pair has been the easiest to break in of all my Birks, and there in a noticeable difference in walking down stairs in these vs. my non-soft foot bed Birks. I hope they expand their soft foot bed line soon! My only gripe with buying Birks remains with majority of retailers who refuse to stock the "Regular" width because they think it's too wide and don't know anything about foot health or how Birks are supposed to fit. They are just in it for the fashion. So shallow and sad.

Brands I'd also recommend: Earth shoes are also good unless you have wide feet.

Birkenstoks Forever - I get one new pair every year because they go everywhere so comfortably. I walk in them instead of sports shoes. The top leather didn't feel as soft on this pair, however.

Birkenstock's Forida - Three narrow straps seem to give a more graceful look on a large foot. (My size is 43) The soft footbed is extraordinarily comfortable.

Very Very Comfortable - I bought a pair of the soft footbed in January and just purchased a pair for my Mom for Mother's Day.....they are the Most Comfortable Birkenstocks I have ever worn. You do not have to break them in, they fit soooo comfortable. I highly recommend the sandals to anyone!!!

"They squeak!" I have several other pair of Birks, both soft bed and regular sandals. This pair squeaks. None of my others had this problem. The size is a mystery to me too. I ordered the same size as before, but this left shoe seems a little shorter than my other pair of the same model.

Brands I'd also recommend: I have highly recommended Birks for years. I am just a little puzzled and disappointed in this particular pair.

Softer is even better! I've worn Birks since 1995...amazing shoes. I never had tried them until I broke my toe in 1995, and someone recommended them to me...they were a lifesaver and ever since I have only worn comfort shoes! I have many pairs of Birks and I was very curious about the soft footbed style. It didn't disappoint. It's really nice and comfy without being too cushy. Gives the same great support, etc. The Florida is also a new style for me, and looks more feminine than the Arizona, Zurich, etc. I'm very happy I tried it...I liked it! I hope they come out with more variety of styles in this softer footbed.

Birkenstock's softest - This is my third pair of Florida's. I keep a pair in our vacation house and at home in two colors. I can't wait to take off whatever shoes I've worn during the day and slip into them. They are soft, supportive and oh so comfy.

Birkenstock fan - Thank you, Zappos! I received my Birkenstocks VERY quickly and they were as comfortable as I hoped they'd be. I ordered the "medium" width and they make my feet look a little wide... but hey... I guess that's just my wide feet!

They even look and feel good after getting wet! Yes, I was at Universal Studios riding all the water rides and even got rained on, but my Birkies held up great. I have a VERY narrow foot so I have the buckles set as small as I can get them without pressing too hard against my foot. This is my very first pair of Birkies and I love them! I even got my husband a pair and myself a second pair of this same style. I hope Zappos continues to carry the Florida style or something very close to it.

Florida Soft Footbed is Great! Just purchased the Florida Soft Footbed by Birkenstock from Zappos.com. I was looking for either the Florida or Arizona in black and ended up with the soft footbed because that was what was available and I couldn't find what I wanted locally. It was the first time I'd tried this type. They are wicked comfortable. I'm 8 months pregnant with twins and they have been a life saver. I wear them almost everyday (when I'm not wearing my old Birks!). I would definitely recommend them and I would definitely purchase another pair. Zappos.com was an incredible experience.

First let me say the service from Zappos is outstanding, one day and I was in my new Birkenstocks!! I love the Florida style and the soft footbed is exceptional comfort!! I had a terrible accident and crushed an ankle, I now have problems finding shoes that will work with all my foot problems and for three years had not even had sandals as I wore tennis shoes through the entire summer, after many, many pairs of sandals not working out for me, hurting ankle daily it was suggested to me to try a pair Birkenstocks. Wow! The very first day I could tell a difference in my pain. I did have to slowly get used to them but after about a week at a couple of hours a day my foot pain is almost gone...This is my favorite style as they fit me the best and do not hurt my feet or ankle in any way! I wish I have found them three years ago but am thrilled to be back in sandals and so happy to have so much less foot pain!! Thank you so much for them and thank you again for the fast excellent service, I will be back for more Birkenstocks from Zappos!!
