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

Great quality sandal! They look stylish and are comfortable. It takes a bit for the shoe to break in, so it'll get more comfortable the more you wear it. I had a problem with the buckles hurting the tops of my feet but it's because I had the straps done up too tight. Loosened them and they're much better now! Also, I have regular-width feet and got the narrow size.

I love Birkies. These are terrific. Too bad they're so expensive, but if I get them resoled every 2 years or so, they last for 5 or more years.

Unfortunately these shoes weren't for me due to a misshapen right foot the top strap rubbed into the skin on the top of my for I was sure I was out a total cost till I got on a chat line with zappos customer service employee Snow White she was wonderful refunded my entire payment including shipping and refused to bother me with returning the shoes. I have never felt more blessed by a customer service employee

The problem with these shoes is the color. Upon receipt they are nothing like the picture online. They are not grey. They are a dirty looking brown. The shoe is great. I have them in black and have ordered another pair. Love the soft foot bed.

These say unisex but they are way to wide for the average woman. Go with the narrow in the size you normally wear and they are perfect. My teenage daughter loves them, and all her friends are wondering where she got them because they are out of stock everywhere.

Great sandal, but like all Birkenstocks - wear them at home for a few days to get straps/fit right for you. Then they are the best ever!

Beautiful leather. Super comfortable footbed. I have over 20 pairs of Birks, but this is only my third pair of soft footbed. I'll only buy the soft footbed from now on. Birenstock is almost all I wear in the summer.

I absolutely love these shoes! It took about 3 days wearing them around the house to break them in, but now they are amazing! I normally wear an 8, but got a 7.5 (38). They also run wide -- I had to use the last hole on the straps.

These are the most comfortable sandals in the world. I had been looking for something with better arch support and this is it! I wear an 8 1/2 and the 39 was perfect. Even if you wear a medium width, the narrow might be a better fit. It was for me. My daughter ordered the same sandal and loves hers as well.

I love these shoes. Right out of the box they were super comfortable. They have become one of the Spring/Summer staples.

Love! Took some time to break in, but they are so easy for summer. I wear a true 7, but always order 37 in my Birks because I don't want my feet to look huge. The 37 is perfect. Bought these in high school and gave them away when they went out of style. Big regret! Will be keeping these for the long haul.

Oh so comfortable. I've heard about Birks being uncomfortable, maybe it was the soft footbed or the type I got..but they're great!I haven't taken them off since I purchased them. I got the narrow size even though I've never purchased narrow sizes before, I just figured since they were unisex, my feet were more narrow than the "average" foot including men's since I'm a woman. They worked out perfect, I would even go as far as they could probably be more narrow. I was afraid they were going to look awkward, but they don't look narrow at all. So if you're an average woman I would definitely get the narrow. And oh, my gosh they're so cute. They go with everything!

Perfect fit. So thankful we could order these in narrow. Thanks Zappos!

Excellent sandal, this makes my fifth pair. They last a very long time and they will conform to your feet. I highly recommend these sandals to anyone.

Love them! I read the review from other folks and decided to get the soft footbed...I'm glad I did. I've been wearing them around the house to break them in and while, I will admit, my husband totally makes fun of me, I think they are adorable and comfort > EVERYTHING!

I'll admit I felt a little bit of buyer's remorse right after splurging on a new pair of Birkenstocks, but I am incredibly happy with my purchase! I followed other reviewers' recommendations to pay a little extra for the soft footbed and now I'm never going back. :) So soft and comfortable, like walking on little clouds. The color is beautiful and neutral. Definitely getting in touch with the boho ugly-chic side of me whenever I wear these (with or without socks).

Love Birkenstock sandals. Zappos.com has them for the same price as stores but they bring them to you with free shipping and returns.

Yes, these shoes are a little expensive but quality always comes at a price and baby these shoes rock. The fit is great and Zappos gets them to you fast and we'll packaged. I would definitely buy this shoe again and I recommend them highly.

My new Birkenstocks are wonderful and fit perfectly thanks to Zappos' considerate exchange policy. I am also delighted with my new Klogs. Thanks you Zappos for being so understanding. I like shopping at Zappos very much!

Beautiful sandals! a word of caution, they run 1 size too big. make sure you heel is fitting snug into the heel cup or you'll walk right out of them. I wear them a little at a time, you need to break them in!

If you have ever had or wanted a pair of Birkenstocks, I believe the Arizona with soft footbed is the best option. I also recommend the oiled leather (or just leather) as it seems to mold and conform to your feet super fast. I hate wearing anything else now. I will say - go to the Birkenstock website -look at the pictures of how they should fit and then go try on at any store that sells them to find the right size. Most people buy them too big. In Brooks running shoes which run pretty true to size on the metal tool I wear a 10 - in Birkenstocks I wear an 8 - that's a big difference, but getting the right size is super important for birks. I also have to give a big shout out to Bob in CS at Zappos - you were awesome helping me with my gift card! Thank you.

After years of waffling back and forth on whether I wanted to jump onto the Birkenstock bandwagon, and with my husband trying to convince me as well, I finally went for it and am glad I did. I first purchased a pair of non soft footbed sandals, but the narrow fit was too narrow. Through Zappos' excellent customer service, I was able to exchange the pair for a regular width. But then the pair I received had different color finishes on each sandal, making one look much darker than the other. So I called Customer Service again to exchange, but then went ahead and paid the difference to get the sandals with the soft footbed. Oooh soo nice -- one can tell the difference on the softness of this footbed, which is helpful for my flexible feet. The breaking-in period has not been so bad with the soft footbed. Really appreciated Zappos Customer Service, bearing with my neurosis through this purchase!

I've had several pair of Birkenstocks, and traditionally wear a size 39. But, with this style a regular 39 was too wide. A size 40 narrow provided the best fit. (I tried a 39 narrow and it was too short). I'm a consistent size 9 in most shoes. This is my first pair with a soft footbed. (I thought it was only something my mom needed!) It is awesome. I live in my Birks during the summer and the extra comfort is going to be great for chasing a toddler around. Just an FYI--I have never considered myself to have a narrow foot. So this style might run wide.

These are my new summer go to shows! Super comfortable and supportive. The leather has a slightly distressed look. These go great with a lot of outfits. Would buy again!

In the past, I've owned 2 pair of these, size 43, I wear a size 10.5 in everything else. 43 is too big for me, length and width. This time around I bought a 42 narrow, the narrow was too narrow for me, but the length was just right. So I sent them back; Zappos is awesome at returns... And ordered a 42 Reg width. Finally have a pair of Birkenstocks that fit me perfectly. So, for me they run big. Also, spend the extra $10 or so for the soft foot bed, we'll worth it. My "felt a full size larger and wider than marked" is based that I'm a 10.5 foot, but had to go with the size 42.
