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

The coolest sandals! Everyone needs a pair of these to restore their faith in truly comfy summer footwear.

I wear a 8.5 or 39 WW, so I purchased a 39 Regular. These fit perfectly, so if you are a WW, these will work. So, okay. The sandals are also comfortable and cute. Such a find for those of us who have wide feet. (I liked them so much that I found a red pair at another online store and snapped them up.)

I usually wear a women's size 6. Thinking these might run a bit large I got the 36 which claims to be a women's 5 - 5.5 but it was way too big. Pretty disappointing because they don't make them any smaller! If you have small feet, be wary of these! I'm sure they're great otherwise.

LOVE these sandals! I wear a size 39 and I have a wide foot. I usually wear a size 9 but the 40 is too long. If you have a narrow foot these might not work. I have the buckles on the 2nd hole so if they stretch out I'll be on the first hole as tight as they'll go. I LOVE the color. I've had so many compliments on them. I'm 56 years old now and I must have arch support. Birkenstocks are the BEST! I'm so glad they are "in style" now!

I've been a birkenstock fan ever since I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first pair in high school. Love the soft footbed in these, makes it easier to break them in.

Incredibly comfortable! Just as I had hoped. The soft footbed is like a nice pillow. The second day I wore them on a plane trip with lots of airport walking and they were great. I was a little worried about break-in but it was minimal. I usually wear a regular width but as per the reviews I ordered a narrow and am glad I did. These will be a staple!

I am in my mid 30's, love shoes and this sandal is the most opposite in terms of shoes that I have in my closet. I'm comfortable in high heels and flip flops equally. I got the narrow in white patent a week ago from Zappos because I found that the sandal was cute in a funny way and the ravings reviews about comfort. I live in Miami, average 70's all year long, so I knew that I could use this all year round. What I did not know was that all the amazing reviews are getting short! I'm the one who kicks her shoes as soon as I get to my house as long as I remember. These shoes are more comfortable than a cold floor on a hot day or a carpet in a cold one. I'm planning on getting more in different colors. The black ones in patent too look really cool. I'm a convert!

I love these shoes. I became a Birkenstock fan when I had plantar fasciitis a few years ago. When I was wearing my Birkenstocks, my arches felt 1000 times better. This is my second pair and first leather pair and I'm so happy with my purchase! Your feet have to get used to wearing Birkenstocks but don't give up, they're the best!

Just opened my box 20 minutes ago, and I love these Birks! This is my first pair ever, and I think I'm hooked. Some of the neutral color choices (grey, taupe, etc.) were out of stock in my size, but I'm kind of glad now. I ordered the 'Tea Rose' color, and it's beautiful. Exactly how I envisioned it, and very close if not spot-on to the color I see on my screen. This color will actually coordinate with more of my wardrobe than I originally thought - will look fabulous with grey, black, white, denim, all shades of pink and coral, even red, and more. I'm a girly-girl, and these are the girliest colored Birks I've ever seen! I was concerned about what size to order, since my feet have changed over the years. Other reviews were not all that clear, so I took a chance and ordered a half size down. I normally wear a 7 1/2 in a sandal, 8 in a close-toed shoe. The 38 says it is 7 to 7.5, and it fits perfectly. Other Birk knock offs have been a problem here, especially when it came to the footbed. They just didn't hit the contours of my feet very well. This sandal is made very well, and is comfy right out of the box. I am taking others advice, and going to give my feet time to get used to wearing them. Oh, Zappos, how I love thee.

I love my Birks! They are my favorite shoes to slip on for errands, going around town, and walking my dog. I live in Arizona so they are perfect to wear year round. They look cute with casual clothes, and I have also worn them with a few casual dresses. I normally wear a 9 or 9½ sized shoe, and I went with a size 39. My feet are a little more narrow so the 39 fit great. I think a size 40 would have been too big. They are definitely comfortable and easily molded to my feet! If you are on the fence, get them!

After walking 8 miles in manhattan in my sneakers, my heel started bothering me. I have been wearing these over the last few days and my heel pain has gotten better. These are not only in trend right now (everyone is copying the style) but these are the original and so comfortable. They align your foot and posture and the soft footbed cannot be beat. Love them!

Love Arizona Birks. This is my third pair. I own them in different colors and this color is very casual with a bomber jacket look to the leather. I have a medium to narrow width foot and in the Arizona style, I have to order them in narrow or I cannot keep them on, they are too floppy.

The new soft bottom is a great addition to this sandal. My family has been wearing Birk's for years, and I'm here to tell you, they are some of the best shoes made.

I love this sandal. The soft footbed is definitely worth it. I haven't had to wait through breaking them in until they are comfy because of the soft footbed. Feels amazing and my feet and knees are thankful for that. I usually wear 8/8.5 and size 39, Regular fits great. Highly recommend!

Love these sandals! They may not be the most feminine shoes but they are very comfortable and supportive. I'm struggling with minor plantar fasciitis issues. I wore these right out of the box and had total support with no break-in period. These are the first Birks I've had with the soft footbed. It's fantastic! Will be shopping for other styles to wear this summer. Worth every penny.

I love these sandals - waiting for the weather to warm up so I can wear them. Bought them in black and white. I tried them in regular and narrow since I have a narrow heel, but in the end the footbed seemed to fit best with the regulars, and I can adjust the buckles to fit snugly. I have developed plantar fasciitis since last summer and think these will be great. Not sure why I never tried Birkenstocks before. I think I was afraid they'd slip off but the wide straps and the molded footbed really seem to hold them in place.

First of all, Zappos is AMAZING. I had a really hard time figuring out the length of the shoe and the width that fit me best. I am an average size US 8. I wear 7 1/2 in high heels and I wear an 8 in EVERYTHING else. So, naturally, i went for the 39 because generally, I am never in the 7 size range. They were way too long and didn't fit comfortably - when my heels were all the way back in the shoe (as recommended), my toes did not grasp the toe grip naturally. There was too much space behind the heel. I also ordered them in the narrow length, as I read many of these reviews here on Zappos. A lot of reviewers said that even if you are not usually a narrow, order a narrow. This was a little misleading - I did a little more research and saw on the Birk website that if you let your foot rest naturally on the ground and if the part of your foot right underneath your big toe protrudes from your toe line even a little, then the regular width is recommended. So I returned them and got a 38, still narrow in the black patent leather (LOVE). They fit like a glove, arch support feels little stiff but will need some breaking in the footbed - the straps are a little stiff but as expected. Now there is a staple on the top strap that is causing some odd discomfort ever so slightly, but I think this will become more comfortable over time. However, the narrow still felt wrong. I had both straps on the second hole and it just felt a little too snug. I read reviews about tightening the strap, and there's no tightening these babies! The narrow width ALSO has to do with your INSTEP (the measurement of your foot where your foot meets your ankle on top) Now I consider that part of my foot to be a little deep, if you will - Definitely much deeper than the measurement around just above my toes on my foot. With the 38 narrow, it was a great length but the toes did touch the rim, which is NOT a good fit. My mom threw the box away so after a live chat (super nice and helpful), they made an exception for me and let me return the sandals without the original box after verifying some key information. They even exchanged for the regular width, same size, free of charge - with a promise that I would ship out the narrow sandals within 14 days. So awesome. Hope this was helpful, because I am the queen of reading 100 reviews before buying. Go with the regular width first. I don't even consider myself to have wide feet, but my toes fan out when I stand and Birks are not supposed to be so tight on your skin on the sides. Good luck and happy shopping.

I live in Birkenstocks and am so happy when new colors come out. I have worn out two pairs of black patent and look forward to wearing out the grey, as well.

I am in LOVE with these! I tried them on in store so I knew which size to order. I am usually a size 6.5-7, and I ordered a 36 narrow and they fit like a glove. I spent a long time deciding on all the details, but I am more than satisfied with the black leather and the soft foot bed is to die for. 10/10 reccommend.

I have several pairs of Birkenstocks, but these, by far, are my very favorite! These are so very comfortable - with the soft footbed and the leather uppers. I highly recommend these shoes - they are worth the money!

Love these. So comfortable. I live in AZ, so I can wear these all year round! Perfect thing to slip on when I go to walk my dog. I wouldn't say they go with any outfit, but they can go with a cute black summer dress or when I'm feeling lazy in jean shorts and a t-shirt! I would recommend them to anyone who wants a comfy, versatile sandal! Love Birkenstocks! If you tend to have somewhat narrow feet, I would get the narrow version. My feet can vary from narrow to regular sized, and the narrow in these fit perfectly!

Birkenstocks never disappoint. They always fit the way you expect them to. I always tell friends, "Once you've worn Birkenstocks, you'll never not wear Birkenstocks.
