The shipping for these was amazing, I got them the day after I ordered them. They are really comfortable and look great, but they took a while to break in. I got blisters on the soles of my feet, which made it difficult to walk for a couple of days. But once the break-in period was done the sandals were amazing.

Had a pair 25 years ago, and wore them out! Wanted a new pair ever since, and yes they are just as comfortable as remembered! Worth every penny, and my feet are singing with joy!

Awesome sandals, but they run almost two sizes too big. I had to return mine and buy a smaller size.

Love the shoe, especially with my narrow feet. One problem was edge of both toe and instep strap bruised my foot and created two scabs on each foot. I bent the leather edge back and forth with a plier to soften. As soon as foot recovers I hope that corrected it.

My wife and I have each had Arizonas for 10 or more years. This was a much needed replacement. We both love our Arizonas. Buying from Zappos was just great. Good price, fast delivery and superb customer service.

Love the color, perfect shade of orange. Fits perfectly, I'm a size 9. Quality construction, except for a smear of glue on the cork side.

The give me blisters, but I'm told this are sandals that mold to your feet like Dr. Martins do... we'll see, won't really know more until the summer when I wear them more.

There is nothing better than a pair of Birkies. Finally graduated to my 2nd pair as my first pair were apparently no longer appropriate for public viewing (good times! good times!). My favorite style is the AZ. Your feet will love you...get 'em a pair!

I bought these to replace Arizonas I got in 1980 and lived a full life! I was pleased that the quality today is as good as it was them. Mthese are great shoes that form to your sole, and become the most comfortable sandal you'll ever own,

The true color of this shoe is more brown than this picture. I returned them because I wanted the orange color.

I've been buying and wearing these for about 20 years. They are great as many of you know. The pairs which they sell now have artificial leather. This time I accidentally purchased one of those pairs. I returned them and figured out that the Arizona Nubuck style was what I really wanted. The artificial leather seems to be alright, maybe it is better than real leather, but I didn't like it. For me it was like wearing a polyester shirt instead of cotton. The thing that really aggravated me is that I spent a large amount of time on the Zappos web site trying to figure out which pair of Birkenstocks to buy, since they have so many variants. I just wanted to buy the same type as I have always bought. There are so many words and videos which try to create the impression of important distinctions between the different styles. The one great important distinction was not made clear, which was synthetic leather vs. real leather. The real leather costs an extra $40-50 and other than that the sandals are exactly the same. Yes, exactly the same. All those words they write and videos just confused everything. It really is not as complicated as they make it seem. I paid the extra money because I love the product, but I'm curious why a few strips of baseball glove type leather adds so much to the price or for that matter why I need to pay this much for sandals at all. Note to Birkenstock: the Chinese could easily make your product.

I just love my old faithful Birkenstocks! They are the most comfortable shoes ever with a great arch support! I sure wish they came in feminine colors and styles up to size 47. That's right I wear a women's 15 and have always struggled in finding "cute" shoes. Oh well, at least I am "comfy".

It is hard to find size 49 in Birkenstock product but Zappos came through once again. Z. has some of the best trained staff in the business; very professional, helpful and friendly.

There were problems with the sandals that I ordered. I was able, with the help of a very kind salesperson, to echange them more easily than with any other company from which I have mades purchases. They also upgraded my purchase at no extra charge. The sandals are just perfect.

Birkenstock Arizonas are amazing sandals. I've owned no less than 10 pairs over the years and the comfort, quality, and style are hard to beat.
One note of caution: The "Picante Rio" color is much darker than the image on the website, closer to a burnt orange than the picture’s bright orange.

Love these Birkenstocks. Took a couple of days to wear in, but now they fit my feet like a glove. The nubuck scratches more easily than suede, but that's to be expected. Overall, very pleased with the product.

After trying a host of other sandals, including a $120 pair of flip-flops (yes, there is such a thing) I've come back to the old standbys. These are the most comfortable and versatile sandals there are, and for someone with narrow feet, the fact that they offer a narrow width is perfect. I also love that they're easy to slide on and off, like flip-flops, but don't actually flop against the bottom of your foot - they stay secure and comfortable.

I love these! They came in 2 days and best price around! I have a wide foot and Birks have the adjustable strap and comfort I need.

Amazing! These are the best Birkenstocks ever and free next day shipping! Like the insert label says, definitely make sure your size has enough room to move in when you walk. I wear an 8 in Converse, so a size 42 was perfect.

Bought these for my son. So far so good. He likes the style and the comfort. He is still getting used to the footbed. Overall he likes these shoes.

I typically wear a 5 or 5.5, so I thought that the 36 would fit, however when I received them they were too big. I sent them back for a 35 and they fit perfectly! I love these sandals already!

Best service I have ever received on a web order. Had been mailed a catalog from another retailer and called the minute I saw what I wanted (right after mail was delivered). They were already out of stock. Zappos responded immediately and upgraded my shipping to next day air (which I did not request). Product was exactly as ordered, in perfect condition and my son-in-law was very pleased! Had also checked another retailer in the local mall; they did not have stock either. I will always go to Zappos first from now on!

I really appreciate the variety of styles and sizes available. I ordered these for my son (and had them drop shipped, thank you very much) for a birthday gift. \r\n\r\nIt was much nicer to send him what he wanted, rather than to just send a check and make him do the shopping. \r\n\r\nThe quick service you do in your regular shipping time is amazing. You really know your business and I will return again for many more shopping trips. \r\n\r\nThanks for making it so convenient!\r\n\r\nYour loyal customer, Nancy

Great sandal, I use the Milano model for outdoors and this the Arizona model for an indoor slipper. They\'re wonderful for your feet and help prevent foot problems. If there\'s a better sandal out there, I haven\'t found them.
