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

My husband and son both wear a narrow width and ordered these in a narrow. However, because of the lip on the sandal they did go up 1/2 a size so the four toe would not rub or hang up on lip.

Great birthday gift to my husband. His old one were taped up he loved so much. I got the soft sole this time and he loves them. Fit just like the old one but did not have to break in.

Stinkin' awesome! I love these sandals so much! I wear them everywhere and I just can't get them off my feet! Super awesome comfort, and super awesome look! I am a middle schooler and everyone loves them! That says a lot.

Love these! Gives the perfect little boho edge to a feminine dress. Feels like you're walking on pillows! Comfy, chic and a little granola. Can't beat it. They go with everything! I would suggest if you typically go with the regular width in Birkenstocks to switch to the narrow width in these. I had to add a few extra holes to the straps to keep my foot in place. That has never happened with any of my other Birkenstocks, just think these run a tad bit wide. Still highly recommend.

For narrow feet, sandals that come in narrow and actually fit! I do have to use the last hole on the straps though. Typical Birkenstock comfort for all day wear.

I purchased these for my husband. He loves them, but they do take some time to break in. His last pair lasted him years.

I had always had Birk clogs. I had never had the sandals. I got these, and initially, I had trouble wearing them. But people told me, ease into them, wear them around the house and they will be great! I stuck with these sandals and they are the best and most comfortable shoe that I have ever owned. What my initial problem was the leather hitting against my foot horizontally, just under the big toe. I broke these in by wearing them with socks, and then without. These are absolutely the best shoes ever!

I love Birkenstocks! I ordered the mocha and they are perfect! So comfortable and so cute! Soft Footbed is the only way to go!! Also, it seems that Birkenstocks always run a little big. I usually wear a 9 in most shoes, however I always wear a 39 (8-8.5) in Birkenstocks. I just love them! Thank you Zappos!

Shoes were delivered very fast. Wonderful customer service. These shoes are so comfortable. I normally were a 7 1/2 to 8 in regular width and I purchased these in size 38 (narrow). Perfect. The orange color is so much fun. Have gotten lots of compliments. My daughter loved them and also purchased a pair. Will be back for more colors.

This is my second pair of Birkenstocks, and I love them. I have metatarsalgia, and these are the most comfortable things on my feet! My first pair are identical with the normal footbed and are just as comfortable. Shopping with Zappos is awesome!

This was my first pair of Birkenstocks, had some intrepidations, along with a closet full of shoes that I can't wear well. The arches were a little hard to get used to and for the first week or so I wasn't sure I had solved my shoe problem but then all of a sudden I put them on and by the end of the day my Birkenstocks and my feet became one. I have worn them everywhere, another pair will be in my home soon, these will be my shoes for life. It takes a bit for the Birkenstocks to conform to your feet but when they do -- magic.

I love these Birkenstocks. The color is a beautiful true red. The fit is great and I love the cushy footbed.

I wear an 8.5N or 9N sandal. The Birkenstock Arizona sandal in 38N was very comfortable but ever so slightly too short.

I love these shoes and haven't been without a pain in 30 years. I prefer N width and always forget to order it. They run large for my taste so I order a size smaller than usual.

The Suede Birks are classic, and when you get accustomed to them (if you are a new Birk wearer), you'll love them! They are the closest thing to being barefoot while wearing footwear! However, the leather Birks (I got the Antique Dune color) are much stiffer and take some breaking in. My feet are getting more and more use to them and the stiff upper; and while the Antique Dune is gorgeous (think Indiana Jones jacket!), every time I put my ol' suede Birks on, I think, oh, yeah, this is how comfortable they can be! I hope after wearing for a few months that the leather pair softens up and gets ultra comfy. They sure look nice!

I have worn the Birkenstock Florida for over 20 years and after getting another pair of the narrow size, decided they were a bit too narrow. The soft footbed is much more comfortable and the Arizona seems to fit well. I would highly recommend then for anyone with plantar fasciitis or other foot problems. Zappos service is excellent.

While visiting us from out-of-town, a good friend foolishly left his Birkenstock shoes just inside our front door. Our 15-year-old cat, who has already demonstrated that, due to his age and seniority, all previously not forcible rules no longer apply to him, urinated in one of the sandals. Because they were very old and worn, our friend refused to tell us their size. So I took the size of his athletic shoes and was pleasantly surprised to find that I could convert to metric sizes on the Zappos site. You shipped them directly to our friend at breakneck speed, I might add and they fit perfectly! We were proud. Our friend was happy. Thanks!

Very comfertable shoes. I have foot problem which I can only wear Finn Comfort shoes. But they are expensive, with this, it's perfect that works at the same time, with a lower price tag. I now have a comfort shoes to wear at home.

Excellent comfort thanks to the soft footbed. I chose the narrow model and found it perfect for my feet. Great arch support, relieves my plantar fasciitis pain.

I have been wearing Birkenstocks for a while and have always been pleased with them. The soft footbed is great! Don't think I can go back to the original style after wearing these.

Excellent product, love the soft footbeds. Sizes are always consistent. All colors and styles now, definetly try these comfy sandals.

I love my Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed shoes of Sumatra Leather. The added cushion of the Soft Footbed really comforts my feet and the natural traditional shape and support features of the footbed relieve the pressures of my plantar fasciitis. And above all, I like the super soft leather straps. This is important to me because some of the harder leathers will wear my skin raw but the soft leather immediately comforts my foot in a sock or dare to bare.

You can't get better Birks for a better price! I got these shoes for my boyfriend; he says they are really comfortable and long lasting. Minor issue with sizing though (you might want to try a size down from your regular shoe size).

The shoes needed no break in period. Right on the feet and felt they were 'old' friends. I would highly recommend them.

I bought these sandals in winter. So far, I have only worn them around the house. But I think I will really enjoy wearing them next summer. This is the first pair of sandals I have seen that I have thought would be comfortable, functional, and even a little cool. They're expensive! But the design of them was so fascinating and the free shipping policy of Zappos was so attractive that I decided to try a pair. I have a rather narrow foot, and the availability of this sandal in a narrow width was another factor that appealed to me. And the raised edge around the sandal looked like it might help keep the sandal on my foot. And in general, the construction of the sandal looked durable and fascinating. The first thing I noticed was that I was in no danger of stepping out of the sandal. No additional strap on the back of the sandal is necessary. Then, I noticed that the shape of the sandal really does provide arch support that is unlike anything I have ever experienced in a shoe. It puts a very pleasant pressure in the center of the bottom of my foot, and when I take them off, my foot tells me it liked that sensation. Supposedly, you can get these sandals re-soled for a modest charge. It will probably take me at least a few years to put that much wear on them, but maybe these sandals will last a very long time. Bottom line: I like the sandals very much, and they are the only sandals I have ever thought would prove to be functional footwear. The design and materials are very attractive. No regrets. I did need to order a second pair in a larger size, but Zappos made it easy for me to make the exchange.
