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

This are the best ever!

This is at least the 5th pair of Birks I've gotten for my husband. As soon as he walks in the door he slips off his work boots and slips on these. And weekends too. Super comfy with great support. I recommend getting leather instead of suede, only because you can slip foot in without bending down to lift up soft suede.

I don't have a narrow foot, but I've got a high arch. Have never purchased a narrow shoe until now. I've worn Birkenstocks for many years -- these fit better, and certainly don't seem narrow to me (with my old Birks, sometimes I'd have to punch an extra hole in the straps to make them fit more snugly -- not needed anymore).

This is the fifth pair of Birkenstocks that I ordered and finally, this one worked! I was about to give up. I wear a size 10.5 in a regular width. However, I need a wide toe box because of bunions. For the first two pair I ordered what Zappos recommended - size 41. They were small, so I ordered a 42 narrow - too narrow! Finally, I ordered the same size I wear in a Finn Comfort - 42 regular, and they fit just fine. I love the footbed and these will be my “house shoes.” In the winter I’ll be able to wear them with socks.. Thanks, Zappos, for letting me work this out with your generous return policy.

I love Birkenstocks! I’ve owned several pairs and these are first Arizonas. I love the leather and soft footbed. I recommend them to anyone who loves Birks.

Best Burk to date!

Wasn’t thrilled that they are shiny. Comfortable and style is still ok.

Due to a recent flare up of plantar fasciitis, I’ve become a big Birkenstock fan. My new black leather Arizona’s are my favorite, though. They wrap my foot in total comfort. No PF pain, no feeling like they might fall off, support just where I need it—perfect! They may not be the most beautiful sandals, but they seem trendy again, and most importantly they offer me the support and total comfort I need. No break-in needed. The soft footbed is a real treat—luxurious!

Great sandal! Shipped fast! What more can you ask for. The Iron color looks great with my black jeans. As a long distance runner I cannot wear regular sandals or flip flops. My feet will always hurt by the end of the day. These are so much better. Highly recommend.

I first ordered a narrow because in Birkenstocks narrow usually means medium width. However I ended up returning them and getting the medium width. They feel perfect.

The fit is great. I only wear Birkenstocks in the summer as they are less hot than synthetic made shoes. I've always bought the suede which is much softer than the oiled leather. Taking a bit longer to break in, a little hard. Love the navy blue color. Wished the suede navy didn't have the gold buckle, otherwise would have bought them instead.

Love the fit!

Great comfort right away and I’m sure will continue to get even better. I ordered both the regular width and the narrow just to see because of the unisex sizing. Women, unless you have a really narrow foot, always buying A width shoes, go for the regular width.

I normally wear a 42 regular shoe (8.5-9) but the Birk 41 is perfect. I also wear a D width and the "regular" width is a must. Also, really like the soft footbed. When they are broken in, they are extraordinarily comfortable.

Perfect! I have not had this style of Birkenstock before and I love them more than I thought I would.

I usually wear a 10.5 - 11, and I originally ordered the 43 size. They seemed a little bit to small, and I exchanged them for a 44 and they fit perfectly.

I love Birkenstock's! I have over 30 pairs. The Arizona with the Soft footbed does not disappoint. The soft footbed gives just a little extra cushion. The width is perfect for my Fred Flintstone feet. The heavy leather straps are a little harder to get broken in. Take it slow and don't give up, your Birkenstock's will mold to your feet and be perfect! The tobacco color is a little lighter than I expected. They also didn't have the rough, worn look to the leather that I thought they would have, but I'll do that to them with wear and tear. This is a good neutral color that goes well with everything.

These shoes are absolutely wonderful! The footbed is so soft and supportive. I purchased the tobacco leather ones, which are not oiled, and the leather is so soft and smooth. It is likely to scratch and wear more that the oiled versions but that does not bother me as much. In real life they are a smoother and more even color than pictured on the site, which is even better. Definitely a nice light, coffee brown that is not as dark and clunky looking as the deeper colors. I'm typically a 6.5-7 in women's shoes and the 37 is perfect for me with just enough room without looking too big. I cannot stress enough how comfy the are. I cannot be happier with them and look forward to wearing them for years to come. If you're looking for a soft and supportive sandal I recommend in investing in these!

Been wearing Birkenstock's several years & love them!

My first pair of Birkenstocks, why did I wait so long? They feel great! Look great and they feel great! I highly recommend them!

Excellent

I’m a real fan of Birkenstock’s! I like the soft sole; no break in time needed. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a comfortable sandal.

These are, of course, very comfortable. I’m very happy with the softness of the leather and the soft footbed is great! I will say though that in other shoes I’ve been wearing a 6.5 medium, on average. This is my second pair of Birkenstock’s and I wear a 5.5 narrow in Birks. Everyone says Birks are true to size but that is not my experience.

Bought these for my husband, his 2nd pair. Make sure to use the cork resealer regularly, it helps them last longer!

My favorite shoes EVER. So in love. Never want to take them off. They work with any outfit. Can't give enough praises.
