Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

Arch was way too much and made the balls of my feet hurt. I have high arches so sure that's why. Had to return.

Very shiny leather.

I have had several pairs of Birkenstocks before (Arizona model) and these felt cheap. Almost fake. There was a strange clicking sound when I walked too. I think from the buckles but I cannot be sure. Would love to return them but they are past the return date. Just not the same quality as my others for some reason. Probably just a "one off" but nonetheless, not happy with this pair.

We've had a lot of these shoes between my husband and I and our 3 grown daughters over our lives. The quality control just really isn't there anymore. My most recent pair stretched out so much that my foot came out the front walking down a plank onto an airplane and I fell. This specific pair has the holes and buckles at different lengths on 2 of the 4 straps. Birkenstock used to be better.

I ordered 38 narrow in tobacco for my 71/2 size feet. The sandal fit fine, the narrow was the right choice as these are unisex. I’m very brand loyal to Birks, these would’ve been my 8th pair (several styles-for every season). The Zappos picture shows a light brown leather. What I received was a taupe/grey colored nubuck finish. Still, I was pretty excited for them until I walked around for a bit. The top strap cut into the top of my foot. I tried to adjust it but nothing helped. Between the color, the finish of the leather and the strap, they had to go back.

The fit and size was good. The leather is so rough it hurts the top of my feet. I have tried to wear them in the house but I cannot tolerate the rubbing on my toes and instep. I will need to return them.

straps and buckle cut into my husbands toes had to return

Took a while to get sizing right for this shoe. Tried a few sizes and ended up liking 37 regular best. did not like the narrow fit and I have regular sized feet. my usual size is a 7-7 1/2. Had some issues with shoe quality. the first pair the black leather was very faded and shoes looked worn. Replacement pair had a gouge in the leather, and third pair had big glue marks on cork. I’m about to give up on these.

THe straps are very uncomfortable on my feet

I,m having issues with my feet. Tried these but it was not a good fit.

The size was perfect. The color was not. They were very light. I'd describe them as camel or beige.

Runs small.

Footbed is very comfortable. The oiled leather looks good, but it is very stiff and digs into the foot causing painful chafing and blisters even after adjusting for a looser fit. If I ever buy this style again I will look for a softer upper material like suede or Birko-flor. As a woman with narrow feet the unisex sizing makes this sandal look awkwardly wide.

Not for people who actually have wide feet. These were simultaneously too long and way too narrow, and I got the regular, which is supposed to be "wide." Unwearable.

These sandals were not comfortable for me.

Because I have had Birkenstocks before, I didn't think the wearing-in time would be long, but I was very wrong with these sandals. The material is very stiff and even though I lined the insides with moleskin to eliminate the rubbing and wearing them around the house with socks on, they still are uncomfortable. Very disappointed! Should have sent them back right away.

These fit poorly - too long, too wide, could not adjust straps for better fit. I have a pair of Birkenstocks (Gizehs) in the same size (41) and they fit perfectly, not sure why these didn't work - maybe because it's a unisex style? The color was very nice, though.

I've had these for a while and had hoped some initial issues would go away, but nope! The particular color and material of the shoes I bought rub off on my feet. After a day of wearing these, my feet are black. They also rub against my feet in an irritating way and I've ended up with blisters around where the top of the sandal meets the side. I'm sure they will last forever and be uncomfortable forever too.

My first pair of Birks and I wanted to love them but the color was too dark for me. Also the weathered look was really weathered on one sandal and not the other. The fit was just okay. Maybe I needed it to break them in. Unfortunately they are going back.

Although these are listed as "leather" they are very stiff and cut into my foot. The footbed is great but the leather portion is not comfortable.

Loved everything about them accept they came scratched. Exchanging for a new pair.

Took forever to break in, I’m not a fan!

The most uncomfortable shoe I have ever bought.

Just horrible. The most uncomfortable shoe I have ever bought.

I really wanted to like it, but the leather is too stiff and dug into my 4th and 5th toes. This is my first pair of Birks. Zappos and their amazing customer service is willing to exchange them for me. I’m going to try the suede and hope for a more comfortable shoe! I don’t want blisters for $135. ??
