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

Reunited with college sweetheart! I haven't owned a pair of birks in 25 years, but it's like we never parted. Great quality. The soft foot bed is comfortable right away. Love the oiled leather in faded khaki that gives them a vintage look. I wear 8 women's and the 39 narrow/medium fit to a T, barefoot. My new everyday shoes for spring, summer, fall, and probably what passes for winter here!

I usually wear a size 40 in Euro sizes, so I ordered this in a 40 and regular width, and it was too big. With Zappos excellent customer care, they sent the 39's out before I sent the 40's back, which I appreciated. These are my first pair of Birks, so time will tell in regards to longevity, but so far so good! Thanks Zappos, for your help!

As a lifelong fan of Birks- what can I say? Putting these on was like coming home. Great arch support and adjustable straps. My feet are wide but I have had luck with both wide and narrow styles so if you are hesitant, I'd say go for it with any of the styles - I've had Birko Flor offer the same satisfaction as well. My only complaint was all the new colors made making a decision very tough !

All around good. I love them!!

They are everything you hope for in comfort and style. The graphite color is versatile and the big buckles are stylish. Easy Peasy.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! The pics don't do them justice.

Absolutely gorgeous! I have to have my Birkenstock’s every year since I was 14. My mother bought my first pair. The greased leather that leaves that “distressed-look” is very cool. I am very much in love with my sandals. Thank you, Zappos!

This is my third pair of Birkenstocks. I highly recommend it to where to theme parks all day long.

Love these so much! My first pair of Birkenstock’s! These are so easy to slip on and go especially when it’s warm outside. I believe the color I got was the habana one and it’s a really pretty rich brown color. I took these with me to Disney and they were great to slide on a go! They are comfortable and supportive and I don’t find other slides or sandals to feel like that on my feet. Highly recommend these shoes!

This sandal takes a few days to break in, after 4 days they felt wonderful. Sole is hard at first, but then forms to your feet. Great support. I purchased the 8 wide in mens and I'm a 10 wide in womens sandals. Very good sandal for planters fasciitis.

Fits true to size. These are unisex, so if you behave particularly narrow feet I believe there is a narrow option. I bought the regular and it fit fine for me. I opted for the soft footbed. , which makes it a tad more comfortable starting out. As with any Birks, there’s a breaking in period, so they’re not a shoe that’s comfy right out of the box. Give it time — it’s worth it. You should wear them a few hours at a time each day rather than all day to start. Once broken in to your particular arch etc., you’d be hard pressed to find a more comfortable shoe. This is my second pair of the Arizona style, and I’m sure it won’t be my last.

I am new to Birkenstock because I have developed Metatarsalgia and needed supportive shoes. I ordered several styles to see how they fit, and the Arizona Soft Footbed -Leather was one of them. While the footbed is comfortable, the leather strap at the front at the buckle had two dark linear bands exactly where buckle fits. While it is not Zappos fault, they have always been superior in their service, the quality control at the manufacturer should have caught this. The discoloration where the buckle fits seems to be from a solution to darken the engraved BIRKENSTOCK logo on the buckle. I like the shoe , but will send it back because of this. I would still recommend Birkenstock because it is a good company with an excellent shoe, just surprised this was overlooked.

Fit and size are as expected. Comfortable shoe with a nice arch support and cushion-y sole.

The size is perfect. These fit just like my other Birkenstock’s. This is the first time I have purchased the soft sole and they are worth the money. They fit great right out of the box. I wore them several hours and they were so comfortable. The straps are still a little stiff and I know those will take a little while to break in. Overall these are great and just the color I was hoping for.

Bought this as a gift for hubby, and he loves them. The soft foot bed is excellent, and does not require as much "breaking in" as usual birkenstocks... He's Spring/Summer ready!

This is my second pair and I love the footbed and support. I can wear these all day and my feet feel good. Will always have a pair of Birks!

This is the third pair of Birks I’ve owned in 40 years. They are an investment that’s worth every penny. Comfy and re-solable. If my dog didn’t eat my last pair, I’d still have them! They only get better with age.

When purchasing the Arizona Birkenstock in narrow, purchase your regular size. I wear a women’s 8 1/2 medium. I purchased the 39 (8 - 8 1/2) and they fit perfectly. Thanks Zappos for always providing great service!! Please

The size is perfect, but I ordered a regular width and I think its a bit too wide, next time I’ll order a medium width

Love these shoes! Finally bought my first pair of Birkenstocks and I love them! Super comfy with and without socks. Had a hard time deciding between size 39 and 40 but ended up with the 39 because I can feel the arch better. I typically wear a woman’s 8/8.5 (occasionally a 9) or a man’s 7 Definitely recommend.

This is my second pair of the Birkenstock Arizona with the Soft Footbed. I wear a 7 in sandals so I ordered a 37 and it is a perfect fit. I bought my first pair a couple of years ago in the blue oiled leather and I just loved the look and feel of them so much I came back to get a pair in Habana oiled leather. The soft footbed is quite comfortable and wearing these cute shoes has made such a difference in how my feet feel at the end of the day. I have high arches and am learning that I need a good arch support to keep from having plantar fasciitis and these shoes do the trick for me. I like them so much I wear them even in the winter with socks.

I'm an avid Birkenstock wearer...and Zappos shopper. This Ochre oiled leather Arizona is a new color this season...and it's wonderful: the perfect yellow/mustardy color...that takes very well to this thick material. I like the soft foot bed...it means you can wear them right out of the box with literally NO break in needed. I hope Birkenstock continues to add colors to this line of their classic sandal...and I can count on Zappos to always carry my size for the best customer service always!

I'm a men's size 9 shoe. Birkenstock size 40 is perfect for me...based on years of wearing birks. This was my first soft footbed. they are still firm but over time are softer and I like the soft footbed. The rustic leather is nice as these are casual sandals. I always get this Arizona style and wouldn't be without them.

Having plantar fasciitis I need good arch support and so I have to be careful about shoe purchases. I ordered two pairs of the Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed-Leather (Unisex), one in navy and one in a tan color. I followed the advice of previous reviewers and ordered one size down (I am a 9-9.5 in other brands of women shoes) size 39 and in narrow width. Perfect fit! Good arch support. The tan shoes have slightly different placement of the hole punchings than the navy shoes so I have to tighten the tan ones one hole tighter than the navy ones. This is not a problem. Merely an adjustment. I like the tan shoes but LOVE the navy ones. Am keeping both.

I purchased two pairs of the Arizona Soft Footbed-Leather ( Unisex) at the same time. One in a tan color and the other in navy. My usual foot size in other brands of women's shoes is a 9-9.5 so I followed the advice of previous reviewers and purchased a size down--size 39. The fit was perfect. Also, I purchased both pairs in narrow. Again, good advice from previous reviewers. I will say that the tan color feels a little larger and the holes for adjusting the size are not the same as in the navy, the tan adjustment being one hole tighter than in the navy. This is not a problem but merely an adjustment. I like the tan and LOVE the navy. I have had problems in the past with plantar fasciitis and have to be careful about the fit of shoes that I am wearing . The support is good in these shoes so I am keeping them.
