Customer Reviews Birkenstock Florida Soft Footbed - Oiled Leather

Love Birkenstock’s. Most of mine have been Arizonas but I thought I’d give these a try. Walked about 5 miles the first day I wore them with no discomfort. The soft foot bed is super comfortable and the leather straps don’t rub and cause blisters. I will be living in these all summer long. Love the more delicate feminine style.

For soft sole these are pretty firm, but I like them and wear them often.

I always where a 6 1/2 which is 37, but I have to size down with my birks to a 36 and they always fit perfectly.

Birks run big! I wear a size 7 (US) and I wear a 37 in Birkenstocks, which claims to be a 6 - 6.5 in US sizes. I read that you should take your regular shoe size and add 30 to get your EU size. This proved to work perfectly for me. I own 3 pairs of Birks and they are all the same size, so I would venture to say they have consistent sizing throughout their sandals too.

These are the first Birkenstocks that I think I can actually wear. The soft footbed helps me out a lot. The style is very sharp also. I really love them. I can't wait to wear them more often. I've sent back so many because of the size or the pain involved. I got size 37,which fits perfectly. I take a 7 to a 7 and a half in shoes normally.

I love the Florida Birks - have had several pair and they are always perfect!

I bought these for my wife and she loves them. Great sandal with jeans or shorts. She loves the support and they are getting more comfortable with every wear. If these are your first pair I highly recommend googling how to break in your Birkenstocks. We had read other reviews that said the sandals ran large and ordered a size down from what she would normally wear. The fit was perfect!

AWSOME!!! They say if the shoe fits wear it, and this shoe FITS! It's soo comfertable I wear it all the time. I like to call it my Wonder Shoe! If you love birkenstocks then you will love this style. High quality makes them last forever, and they're really stylish if you ask me.

Softbed...is the best! I was looking for a comfortable shoe because my feet hurt from my dressy work shoes and I was looking for something that would go with majority of my casual clothes. My Birkenstocks are not only comfortable, but they go with everything I wear. I were them with my jeans, corduroys, skirts, shorts...they are awesome! The first time I put them on, I was in heaven. They actually let my foot relax into a normal form. Now I am looking for a comfy shoe for work. I am very happy that I purchased these shoes and Zappos is great too! Efficient customer service and I received my shoes next day!

Great shoe! I've always had Birkenstock's, but the soft bed is super nice and comfortable. I wish Birkenstock would make the soft bed in more models. And as always, great, prompt, accurate service by Zappos!! I take a 7.5 and always order a 38N in Birkenstocks.

Softbed - Finally Birkrnstocks that FIT ME! Love the softbed, and the 3 straps. Looking forward to more styles in the "softbed"

Thank You Zappos - Today I received my soft footbed (Florida) Birkenstock sandles. I never want to take them off. Making this style in a soft footbed was wonderful. The regular Birkenstocks have been hard for me to wear. My favorite shoe is Mephisto (Helen) but these Birks rate as high with me. I will order other soft footbeds from Birkenstock..Zappos is a great place to buy shoes.

My Birkies - I love them!! I have had surgery on my left foot for Morton's neuromic tumors and these shoes feel so good on my feet. They aren't huge looking like some sandals and I wear them to work. Thank you for creating them!

These are my favorite shoes ever! I received these shoes as a combination birthday/Mother's Day gift, and they are fabulous. I have always wanted a pair of Birkenstocks, and I am so glad that my husband insisted that I get a pair. I wear these shoes every day, for all occasions- including work and church. The only time I leave them at home is when it is raining. I don't want to risk damaging them in any way. I love them. Zappos.com is a good company with which to do business. I will definately buy more shoes from them, hopefully a new pair of Birkies for winter. I did send back the first pair I received and exchanged them for a smaller size. The new size works great.

Metatarsal Relief at Last - I suffer from Mortons Neuroma in both feet. These are painful growths around the nerves in the metatarsal region, usually caused by wearing too narrow shoes that press the toes together. These shoes, and other Birks saved me! I tried several orthopedic shoes with no relief. I tried Birks and noticed the pain and pressure begin to let up. That was three years ago, and still no pain. My podiatrist says the Birk instep support and footbed took the pressure off my metatarsal area, giving me the much needed relief. I can't say enough good about Birks to anyone that has metatarsal pain of any kind. It gives your bones and toes room to move and spread out, getting rid of the pain. They are extremely comfortable. I wear nothing but Birks now. I just ordered a new pair of Birk Clogs here from Zappos and can't wait to get them.!

I am bewildered buying Birkenstocks, just when I think I know what size I wear, I buy some and they don’t fit. They felt comfortable except my outer toes hit that hard bar on the edge and hurt. I don’t usually wear a wide so don’t know why. I usually order a European size 39 and they usually fit fine, but these did not. I chalked it to maybe the style? Anyway I am returning them. It took me six days to get them, not Zappo’s usually good service, as the got sent by the post office, so don’t feel like waiting to try another size.

Like all Birkenstocks, I love the comfort of these shoes. The main issue (and reason why I'm still considering returning them) is that the color is not a true, dark black. It's more of a dark grey, which means they don't exactly match some of the black shirts I had intended to wear them with to work.

I bought these for my daughter who normally wears a normal medium width shoe. These were too narrow for her. They left blisters on her feet. Luckily I wear the same size !

These are so cute. I really wanted leather Birkenstock. These were comfortable out of the box except for one issue. The strap over the toes rubbed the top of my little toe very badly. I tried loosening the strap but then the shoes were too wide and my feet slid backwards. Sadly I had to return.

It's going to take some time for these to feel comfortable, but that is the nature of Birkenstocks. Of the "Ugly Sandals" like Birkenstocks/Naots etc... I love this three small bands of leather the best. They seem a little less clunky overall.

These are nice but not as comfortable as the other Birkenstock’s I own. The leather is very hard.

Bought these hoping the soft footbed would work, but as much as it affords cushy comfort, the overall stability isn't there as with the original footbed. (I have knee and sciatic issues from years of running). Also, the straps on this particular style are very loose compared to all my other Birk sandals. I do love the style and am highly disappointed they don't come in the original footbed combo with the leather. I believe they used to be available in the past, though...

The fit was good. The color looks nothing like what’s shown on here. It’s more of a stone color. I even sent a pair back of the same color, because, I thought they sent the wrong color. I reordered the tobacco and they looked the same . If you are wanting a weathered tobacco color, these just aren’t

A 35 is a true 5-5 1/5. I have 4 pairs and know this to be true. A 36 is a 6 - 6 1/2. These are a little big but will keep. Please ask Birkenstock to make a 35 or I will not order any more. I do love this shoe!
