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

No way, never again! I can not see how anyone considers these sandals outstanding footwear. In fact, they are the most uncomfortable apparel I have ever put on my body. These are not for long-term wear, only very casual short-term wear such as a walk around the block, casual gardening or a short trip to the park or mall. I made the mistake of wearing these to an all day outdoor festival. I have worn sandals in this way before without much of a problem, but by the end of the day I had water blisters on my feet and the straps were severely irritating the tops of my feet. There is this horrible high arch in the center mid section of the sandal that is just very uncomfortable. My guess is this part of the sandal would be better off made a different material which is more flexible than the surrounding soul.\r\n\r\nThe positive is that they look really nice and are okay for short term use, but at this price, one would certainly expect much more comfort from the sandal and much for usability. I will be keeping the sandals for short walks and short trips to the grocery store, but I really can not recommend them at this price.

Would not purchase again - can't wear left sandal - Ordered two pairs, one for me and one for my sister. It took about two weeks to adjust to these sandals. You have to buckle the straps loosely in order for the sandals to fit properly. My right sandal fits perfect, something is wrong with the left sandal. It hurts the arch of my left foot and I can't stand wearing the left sandal. If I knew this would happen I would have sent my pair back. Since I wore these sandals outside to break them in I'm stuck with them. Wish I could have the left sandal replaced. I feel there is a manufactures problem with this left sandal. My sister had no problem with her pair, said they are very comfortable & don't hurt her arch. I also purchased two pairs of the Milano soft footbed sandals for the two of us and neither one of us had a problem with them. The left sandal does not hurt my arch so this is the pair I'm wearing----they feel great.

Squeaky Birks! Never had this issue with Birks before. Thought the squeaks would go away when they got a bit broken in. Nope. Loud enough to be heard with every step.

Low quality shoes, I haven't bought them in years but they aren't very good on wear. In two days, they were causing severe foot pain and the sole had started to wear off already exposing something black. Never again

Very uncomfortable for those with wide feet. Extremely high arch support causing my arches to be sore.

I had ordered the oiled Habana and received the regular habana. They said they couldn’t just send me the right one and I return the wrong one I would have to return them and make a whole new order.

I am big fond of Birkenstock soft footbed shoes, and I bought 5 pairs in last two years. I was in disbelief when I tried this pair. It’s not soft at all. I know that Birkenstock shoes are very popular nowadays. It’s look like the company is giving up the quality for quantity, what is not acceptable. I returned the shoes.

They looked used.

I wish Birkenstock would add extra holes for the buckles for the shoes marked as narrow. The left sandal was a terrible fit, almost like a different size. I had to return. Really wish there were more options for narrow feet. I appreciate the quick delivery and the ease of return from Zappos.

The new large buckle style has a wider leather side and the leather cut into my soft arch skin. It hurt and I couldn't wear the shoe. I have been buying the Arizonia style for over 20 years, but it has always had a small buckle and narrow leather inside. It always fit. This new style of an old favorite is horrible!

This is the first time I tried the soft footbed. I had them on for under 5 minutes and noticed my feet began to itch, I took them off and my soles were red. This has never happened in the 30 years I've been wearing Birkenstocks. I'm going to try the regular foot bed again and hope that it was just the soft foot bed I seem to be allergic to. I hope I don't have to give them up, they're one of the few brands I can wear.

I received used shoes

Not good fit too loose like a flip flop

you sent the wrong shoes !!!!!!! I ordered soft bed shoes .

This box arrived damaged - it literally felt apart when when lifted it out of the shipping bag - and the leather was scuffed and scratched up.

They were delivered by Amazon and one of the buckles was defective. It was apparent that someone else had ordered and returned them for the same reason. Additionally, the newer "wide" Birkenstocks are visibly narrower than the older versions. Unfortunately, the quality seems to be suffering since the company went public. I've been worn & loved Birks for almost 40 years and will NOT be buying another pair.

You sent me the wrong color. I ordered the oiled leather and I got some gross rose gold shoes.

Wrong color was sent

The description said the shoe had a soft bed but the shoe bed was a hard bed. I need a soft bed.
