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

The shoes appeared to be from different die lots as the do not match.

The leather on the upper part of the shoe was hard,shiny and felt cheap.Not what previous Birkenstocks felt like at all.

This is very different than the pair I purchased from Germany about 10 years ago.....I cannot wear them as my arch and ankle are paining me so much since I purchased these. I am terribly disappointed. I still have my old pair and may try to find a shoe repair center to put a new sole on the heel portion as that is what wore out. I am going to try to get a refund from Zappo's.

Didn’t get to try these on. Zappos sent me a pair that was clearly worn - had previous owners footprints, etc. Returned immediately. Appears that Zappos no longer ships new products.

the footbed is not soft at all compared to the last pair...probable return. these Birks are not what the once were...disappointing.

I’m not new to Birkenstock - with that said I can tell you the quality is NOT the same!!! Huge disappointment - I’m not going to waste time nitpicking every detail. So if it’s quality you want - don’t look here anymore.

First pair I ordered was small. Zappos was kind and replaced the sandal with a larger size. After wearing it for a week, I had blisters and general discomfort. I read reviews and there is agreement that the sandal needs to be broken in. At the same time, I went on Birkenstock website and bought the same sandal. To my surprise, the sandal shipped directly from Birkenstock is of far greater quality, better materials, lighter and seems like a totally different product. At this point, I'm starting to wonder if the product that arrived from Zappos is counterfeit. I can't return the product as it's already worn but this will be my last Zappos purchase. I love the customer service but the product quality is questionable.

Ordered the same shoes for my daughter from Birkenstock - they were out of stock on my size. These are definitely NOT the same shoes - totally different color. Not sure what was sent because no box . Very disappointed and they are going right back.

This was my first go around with Birkenstocks. I am a size 8.5. I first tried on my sister’s size 39 and worried about my long toes bumping the front lip - so I ordered the 40. My fault, but they were much too large. I also found the leather straps to be terribly stiff and sharp on the edges, like it would take years to break them in. Happily, I found a slightly different Birkenstock that I LOVE - Arizona soft footbed Birko-Flor. The leather straps are much softer and don’t scratch or rub my feet. Ordered them in size 39 and they are perfect.

Wore these for less than a month while working from home and there are several cracks in the sole that makes hem unwearable. I’ve worn birks for 30 years so sad to see the extreme drop in quality on my last several pairs.

This is the third pair of Birkenstocks I have had to return - what has happened to their brand?

These arrived in a plastic bag instead of a Birkenstock box. I wear birks and these were not them. The leather was cheap and the soles we're a cheap plastic The sole was not even glued down in some spots. Very disappointing

you sent me 2 different shoes- 1 was leather and the other clearly not.... sorry...sending them back - plus there was a divot out of one of them...these are supposed to be first quality- how does this get past QC???

For $135 I was very disappointed in quality. Leather was thin and felt like plastic.

Does not look like the photos. Got the brown Almafi brown leather. It’s upper shiny. I think the quality of Birkenstocks is becoming worse. That is, the leather is cheaper. It doesn’t even seem like real leather.

I liked these for a while, but I only had them for three months before a HUGE chunk of the foot bed fell off. Not comfortable to walk in and I feel cheated out of $135, I expected greater quality. Not too impressed by that.

I've worn Birkenstock Arizona sandals for 20 yrs and decided to try soft footbed - Sadly the quality in the shoe is not the quality I've known for so long- white glue all around the sole - one side ruched by the sole - hair stuck in footbed in the heel so disappointed returning -- hoping this is just a bad pair will look in a store. If could would have given 0 rating but only 1 was lowest

This sandal has a terrific stabilizing sole with great arch support. However, the leather straps are so rigid and stiff that they cut into my toe and made the top of my feet ache.

These are the most uncomfortable Birkenstocks I have ever owned. The leather is way too thick. I had difficulty getting the leather thru the buckles-because it was too thick and was too stiff. Very uncomfortable. Love the brown ones I ordered.

Need to return these. Straps are just way too big and I have a wide foot. Maybe these are for folks with a high arch? However, just love Zappos customer service!

I love these. They came in the M/W which seems to be reserved for men's colors now only. I bought two pairs one in Fiesta Fusia and one in Iron . I tried the Frankca but I prefer the larger straps/

Great shoes! Very comfortable!

Got these for my youngest son about a year ago. He wears them 24/7 . Loves them.

This is my husbands second pair of these Birkenstocks and they fit just like the first pair he got over 15 years ago.

Love these and bought them as a gift for my son who usually wears 8 in tennis shoes but the 8/8.5 was too big for him so I returned and ordered a size down. These are so soft on the inside and he said they felt nicer than the ones without the “soft” footbed. He literally wore the soles of his other ones off his feet because he loved them so much so I didn’t hesitate to get a replacement pair for him because I know how great they are and how long they will last!
