Tried and true. I wore them when I was a teen, and now they're back in, and my daughter is asking for them for Christmas. Of course I had to try them on, at the moment we wear the same size, and it was hard for me to not keep them for myself! I looked everywhere for the best deal, but ultimately Zappos had the selection we needed, and the price was consistent with other sites for the style she wanted. They're still kind of goofy looking, but for comfort, can't be beat!

Great summer sandals, easy to wear and goes with everything. They are pretty uncomfortable to break in, even with the soft sole, because the cork needs to break in. So don't give up if it feels uncomfortable for the first week or two. Like everyone else is saying, the narrow size is actually a medium width - I have flat feet that lean towards wide and the width was perfect.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I have worn them nearly every day since I have gotten them. They are so comfortable that I really don't want to wear any other shoe. I will be getting another of these in a different color for the coming summer.

These are one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought. It took about 5 days of lightly wearing them to break them in but after that it felt great to walk around in. The quality feels great on these and I fully believe that some people have worn the same pair for 10+ years. For me they fit true to size.

I've always loved Birkenstocks, but after 3 ankle surgeries, these are my go-to shoes for after work and around the house. A few years ago I made the upgrade to the Soft footbed and there's no going back. Do yourself a favor and purchase a Birkenstock care package to wash the footbed and they'll last much longer.

These Birkenstock sandals are my favorites. I just ordered a third pair. They have walked all over Europe and are so comfortable. I keep one pair at the beach and one pair at home. The new ones are to replace the oldest pair. Great job Zappos!

Very comfortable. Fits my wide foot very nicely. Highly recommend the soft footbed as it makes a world of difference for comfort. Great for wearing in fall type weather too with socks.

Let's face it, if you're searching for this shoe, you know they aren't the best looking... but the comfort! I wear them mostly as a house shoe, but I spend A LOT of time on my feet in the kitchen and with these shoes I never feel it. The soft footbed is an added plus and I'll never buy another pair of Birks without it. Initially, the buckle rubbed a bit on the outside of my foot, but as soon as they stretched a bit and got worn in, it went away. Definitely recommend Birkenstock's cleaner/care kit to keep them looking great for years to come, because they last!

Can't really go wrong with a Birkenstock purchase. Always true to size and exceptional quality.

Buy the narrow size if you have average width feet. These sandals are comfy straight out of the box. I plan to wear them for years especially given the price.

The classic Birkenstock Arizona goes with everything. I got the black oiled leather, because I have another pair that is 7 years old and the soles are getting pretty worn out.
However, my feet has aged a lot since my first pair of these, has become less padded, thinner and bony-er than they used to be, and I have found that a more feminine style, like the Mayari, is just better for me.
I think these "unisex" Birks are just a tad wider, even in the narrow verison, than the "womens" sandals by Birkenstock.
So I picked up a the black oiled Mayari's here at Zappos and returned the Arizonas.

My first pair of Birkenstocks and I'm in love! They are so comfortable and casual. I will definitely be buying again.

I do not have narrow feet and have never bought narrow width shoes before, but these were the best fitting Birkenstocks out of all the ones I tried in this style. Of course the leather gets marks on it with time but they add character, I think. I've had them for over 6 months and even though it's getting cold out I love to wear them around the house now.

My husband wears nothing else! They are comfortable and form to your feet. Durable and healthy... Unlike flip flops that supposedly can harm your feet.

These sandals are wonderful. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and finding comfortable shoes is difficult. These, once they are broken in, feel like the most comfy house slippers. I prefer the light cushioning in the soft footbed to the standard Birkenstock footbed. These aren't the most stylish sandals, but they've become a classic and they're incredibly comfortable for my whiny feet.

I order a pair for myself and my husband. Based on other reviews I orders ours a half size smaller and am very happy I did as they fit perfect. Love this brand, if you take care of them they last for years. They offer surprising support for a sandal, and eventually form to your feet after wearing them for a while to become the most comfortable shoes in your closet. I definately recommend these.

I have had these for a couple of months now. The leather is stiffer than the suede, but much easier to clean, and I think looks more dressy. No complaints.
