Bought these for my high school daughter - told her she would still be wearing them in 20 years. They actually look relatively good in black! Hugely comfortable and great support so I'm happy she likes to wear them.

I love these shoes! I had another pair of the clog type birkenstocks but I don't think they had the soft footbed. The soft footbed makes a world of a difference!! I am typically around a 6.5-7 and the 37 fits perfectly!

The best sandal for all uses. Tried a bunch of alternatives for the last five years and none are anything like as good as this. Great in for office, leisure, or trekking. Lasts indefinitely. My US size varies from 11 to 12 and these Arizonas in 44 are a good size. I might have been okay with 43 but the straps give me some latitude either way.

Can't believe I'm writing this review. Have tried every slide sandal out there and nothing worked. Ecco, Clarks, OluKai...nothing. Can't say these are the most stylish, but after just a week of breaking them in, they are phenomenal. I typically wear a 9.5 medium men's shoe. Ordered the 42 narrow and they are perfect. So happy to have finally found a sandal I can dress up and down that is supportive and comfortable, all at the same time.

So comfortable! Not at first the leather actually dug into my toes. But after 2-3 uses they are very easy on the feet - and great change to flip flops for me!

These are great Birks. I have already owned at least a dozen pair of Birkenstocks over the years and thought they were great. I have discovered that the soft footbed is wonderful for my plantar fasciitis. They do run wide and sometimes need frequent adjustment until they conform to your feet but they let you walk comfortably with support.

The shoes are so comfortable they defy description. They are like wearing bedroom slippers only with outstanding support. I highly recommend the soft foot bed.

I got this Arizona soft footbed in two colors; summer breeze nubuck and flower crush taupe. I absolutely love the colors. They are very cool and so comfortable. The Arizona soft footbed is worth the extra money. You definitely do need to go down a size because these colors are unisex Birkenstocks so they are larger than a normal women's Birkenstock. The last Arizona footbed in a women's style that I purchased is a 39 and fits perfectly so I ordered 39 in this new Birkenstock (unisex) and had to return them for a 38. It is a good idea to read the reviews and listen to these ladies when they recommend downsizing. I wish that I had!

My adult daughter introduced me to Zappos recently where I ordered my Birks...back in "style" even though I've worn them for years. I like the new soft footbed in some of their styles. Zappos was so easy since I knew the size I needed. Shipped free right to my door. I did return one pair due to color, but that also was an unusually easy process. Look for the return instructions in your box or online. Free returns. This is what customers want these days. I will definitely order from Zappos again soon.And I'll keep wearing my Birks. They take a few weeks to break in & follow the form of your foot, but once broken in they are wonderful. I wear them from spring 'til Fall.

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!

Absolutely love these sandals. Very comfy, the leather straps in these is so soft and so is the footbed. Colors are awesome and very festive and match with so many outfits. Just a heads up...make sure the shades you get are similar. My favorite Birkis yet!

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!

Very cute! Will advise women to order the narrow & 1 size smaller than you typically wear due to these being unisex. I had to send back & reorder b/c they were huge! & I was sure I had a wide foot! But guess not. Once you find your fit they are great! Highly recommend.

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!
