Birkenstock Granada Soft Footbed SKU: #7616245

I have lived in my Birkenstock Arizona Softbed sandals for over a year now. They have literally saved my sore feet. I wear them around the house constantly. Unfortunately, I am tough on shoes and need to replace the corkbed. I was looking for another Birkenstock that was more feminine and this one fit the bill perfectly. What an improvement! One warning though...I don't have huge feet but they must be somewhat chubby as I am on the first hole for each strap. The one up higher rubs a little but I know that the leather will stretch some, so I am not worried. If you have swollen feet, these probably won't work for you. Overall, I am very happy.

I love these sandals and easy to slip on and off, yet comfortable enough to walk for blocks. I thought my old Birkenstocks were comfortable, but these are even better and the Zinfandel is a cute color. My feet are a bit wider and taller than average and the adjustable second strap is great. The width feels regular for a Birkenstock, but probably a bit wider than other shoes.

Definitely up to Birkenstocks standards. The footbed is softer than the regular Birks and this color is perfect for wearing with denim and navy. They do require a little breaking in which I am in the process of doing now.

Great shoes. I am a Birkenstock fan in general, but really notice & appreciate this new "soft footbed" feature.

Very comfy and good to my feet. A little long for my Barney Rubble feet, but am so thrilled with the width that I am happy to overlook it. Plus they are kind to my plantar fasciitis, so they are keepers.

I have gained weight with each pregnancy. I have 4 kiddos and my foot has gotten fat. I wear an 8 (39) and I have a wide foot and this was really hard to get on, even with all the adjustable buckles. I think I'm going back to the Mayari style. That one was wide enough.

Very comfortable shoe. The soft footbed is way more comfortable than the regular footbed. The leather is comfortable and does not require breaking in.

Birkenstock shoes are my most comfortable shoes, When I come home wearing something else, the first thing I do is putting my Birkenstock shoes on to relax. At home I wear them all the time. I found these Granadas very attractive, The many leather straps made them a bit dressier looking. The top straps that have a V-design were a bit hard on my high arch, and unfortunately caused some blistering. Now this has healed, hopefully with more wear, and resetting the buckle this will give no more problems. Leather Birkenstocks are somewhat pricey, but you can wear them with most anything. These blue ones look great with jeans and khakis.

At 64 years old, I've been wearing Birks for a lot of years. I have a packing crate full of them, plus an overflow. With feet that become more painful each year, I'm always searching for the right shoe and keep coming back to my Birks. The new soft footbed is a life saver, too. It's nearly instant pain relief. I've always bought the "regular" width but have noticed in the past couple years or so that they seem wider than previously. This shoe I ordered in a narrow and it fits great on my moderately wide foot with a very high instep. Due to puppy antics over the years, this is probably the 5th Granada I've bought because it's more feminine than many of my other styles.

Very comfortable and does not require a break-in period like my other Birks. The leather is a little stiff but hopefully will soften over time. Suede straps would probably be better.

Great sandals, only took a day to break in and are ridiculously comfortable. Also, much cuter than the traditional Birkenstock.

I bought these shoes for my mother...who is a die-hard Birky lover. She had never tried the soft footbed. She is picky and persnickety and she loved them! I liked them as they are dressier than the normal Birkenstocks and my 78 year old mother looks less like a '60s hippie and more like a hipster! Thanks Zappos for coming through with the perfect gift!

I really like these Birks but expected a more cushioned effect from the Softbed. Service was as good as I had heard; my order was here long before scheduled to arrive. Keep up the great standards!

Finding a shade of red is always a challenge and these are a beautiful go with everything wine color. This is my first pair with soft footbed and it is nice but not necessary for comfort. The open work on this sandal makes it dressier although dressy and Birkenstock are concepts that are an oxymoron for sure. Also, I really need a 37.5 which isn't made, but even so, these are larger than my other 38s. I wonder if narrow would have been better because I am already on the last buckle hole. I would recommend these highly, nevertheless.

A wonderful newer style from Birkenstock. The Granada does not have as chunky a look as the Arizona for example, but has the same level of comfort offering a more stylish appearance. As a long time wearer of Birkenstock sandals, and as a person with arthritis and bone spurs in my feet and with very high arches, I look forward to. Sandal wearing weather. Nothing beats the soft footbed of Birkenstocks.

I love Birkenstock's - it's all I wear all summer long. This style is much better looking, but not quite as comfortable, as the Arizona's I usually wear.

I purchased these shoes for my mom. She has very wide feet and they are a perfect fit.

I wear a 10N and have trouble finding sandals that will stay on my feet. My husband jokes that these shoes are glued to my feet. I slipped them on when they arrived and don't want to take them off. Why did I wait so long to purchase Birkenstocks? I'll make up for lost time soon and purchase a closed-toe style.
