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

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. ??

straps cut into my foot. super uncomfortable.

Bought these, Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Leather (Unisex), Mar.23, 2016. I have loved these shoes--wear them A LOT in the summer--as my main shoes--VERY COMFORTABLE. They were great until this summer, I noticed that both shoes have developed cracks in the cork foot bed right on either side of the foot just in front of the strap nearest the toes. I was under the impression, from reading other reviews prior to my purchase, that Birkenstocks held up really well through "YEARS" of wear. Apparently this isn't so. I'm very upset, as I think, for the price, they should last longer!!!!! :[

I am probably the only person on earth that regrets purchasing these. I think the hype convinced me to keep them. I hoped they would become more comfortable if I broke them in. The size up is too big and the size down, which I kept, cuts the four toes off on my foot. They have such a severe angle toward the smaller toes. I am now convinced I cannot fit into a Birkenstock shoe with any comfort. Wasted money here.

As mentioned in many of the lower rating reviews, the top straps started to cut into my toes on both feet regardless of whether I made them loose or tight. I've already worn them around, so no returning. These suckers hurt, and I'm not totally sure it's possible to break these in without murdering the tops of my toes

Little support. Very stiff leather. Had neither problem with this style the last time I owned them. As for style, it is in the eye of the beholder.

I called before I placed my order because I was worried about the color of the patterns. I was told that this would be a good idea of what they look like. I received them today and was very disappointed. They are almost entirely orange with almost no other colors to them. The picture is very deceptive! Sad that they will be going back!

Like all Birkenstocks, the arch support is too high and too big (in area). I like the looks of this sandal, but I wish I could get a pair of Clarks with the perfect arch support and toe bar....unfortunately they no longer make them.

People should be told that the soft footbed does not have the same strong arch support as regular Birkenstock's. By the time I realized this, it was too late to return them.
