Very comfortable shoes. Bought a pair right before traveling to Asia. They were all I needed there. Worth every penny.

Great everyday sandal. Took a few tries to find the right size and the right fit, but Zappos was amazing! Love the soft foodbed. It doesn't have the hard toe ridge that the original footbed has. I have both and I just think this one is more comfortable from the start. I think I have a fairly average width foot and I ordered the narrow.

The most comfortable sandals in existence. If you are debating going with the more expensive footbed: do it. It's well worth the cost. I've had all of the types of Birks and these are definitely the way to go. They get a little funky if they get dirty, but wash well.

These are great sandals! I have had them for 3 days now and I love them so far. They are taking a bit to break in but are very conformable overall. If you have Birks that are the regular foot bed, I would stick with it and not get the soft foot bed. I like the soft myself but you can tell it provides a different feel overall.

Nice leather, good quality. I am sure they will last a long time, as have other Birks that I have had for quite awhile. These will go with anything. I find them a bit wide, but have adjusted the straps to the smallest size. Imitations do not hold a candle to the originals. Worth the money!

I already owned a pair of the dark brown suede Arizonas with soft footbed, decided to get the smooth leather for a different look. These are just as comfortable, no break in period at all for me. The copper buckles on the tobacco color are a nice touch. Remember narrow in Birkies = normal width in most other shoes.

I always wanted a pair of Birkenstocks...I have flat feet and have painful feet with certain shoes. Was a Kalso Earth girl until they started making their shoes cheap...but still the spendy price tag. Ordered the Arizona in brown amalfi in the soft foot bed. I can honestly say they fit like a glove. I never had to break them in like other people have stated. I wear these shoes from the time I get up to when I go to sleep. I wish Birkenstock made a sneaker. Only thing about the leather is Do not get them wet! Love these shoes.

I had to reorder because the size 7 (40) were too large. They did not feel all that comfortable so I decided to go smaller. The size 39 fits as they should on my arches. The Naots I ordered in size 7 are fine and true to size. Thus, I would say that Birkenstocks run half a size larger so half a size smaller should fit correctly. I tried one of these size 39 sandals on one foot with a size 7 Naot that I received on the other foot to see what the difference was. Both felt like the same sandal! That was strange! However, when wearing them separately they each felt slightly different in their own way. I'll keep both the Naots and the Birkenstocks. Zappos is great and exceeds expectations in customer service for fast delivery times and in handling returns.

The soft bed meant that these shoes are reasonably comfortable right away, instead of requiring the typical Birkenstock break in period.

I really like it. It is kind of fashionable and also very comfortable. When I first time tried it on, I can actually feel the difference between the Birkenstock and other brand of sandals. It is worth the money I paid.

I live in these things! Always have two pairs on hand and replace them every two years. Birkenstock should give me a free pair for all that I've bought over the years! Anyway, can't do without them in my daily life but they won't get you any closer to finding a new spouse when your all alone.

My husband has had his first pair of Birkenstock's for approximately 10 years and they still looked great. However, we were going on a trip for our Anniversary and I felt he should have a new pair just like the ones he loves. When he opened them up, you'd thought I'd given him a million dollars! He loves them!

I love slip on shoes, (sandals), I was very dubious about buying these shoes for a long time. I tried about three other brands, but they were like bedroom slippers, so I finally tried a pair of Birkenstocks. Initially I did not like them,they were not comfortable, and were hard to walk with. I remembered reading that they would mold to your feet, after a couple of weeks they did mold to the shape of my foot, and now I feel like they were custom made just for my feet. The shoes are very attractive, and I really like them a lot. They are very pricey, I hope they last a long time. I wish they had more styles to choose from. I hope to go on welfare soon, then I can afford to buy another pair.

This is my 2nd pair of Birkenstocks, but the first with the soft footbed. The regular ones were always comfortable in the past , but the soft footbed is wonderful for my newly acquired foot problems. Birkenstocks last for years, and can be re-soled at a shoemaker for even more wear.

I love these sandals. I have been wearing this type for over 15 years. I have flat feet, and the Birkenstock footbed is the most comfortable for me.

I'm a long time Birkenstock owner, but this was my first Zappos experience and first soft footbed for Birkenstock shoes. Both are fantastic! The super fast delivery from Zappos blew me away! I totally didn't expect to receive the shoes the next day, but when I saw that box I was very pleasantly surprised. The soft footbed on these shoes took virtually no time to break in. This was great since the last pair of Birkenstocks took days (maybe weeks) to break in. Most comfortable shoes ever!

Great sandals! Very comfortable. The extra support that the molded footbed offers makes a huge difference. I've been wearing them almost exclusively for the last three weeks both in Key West and New York City. The only small downside is that thenleather straps do stretch quite a bit.

For me the soft foobed is a great improvement over the standard footbed. It provides improved heal comfort. The arc support remains excellent.

I wear Birkenstock sandals all the time and can never find what I want in the store. They run a little larger than size but are very comfortable.

I have worn Birkenstocks for years but these were my first pair of the soft footbed. I am now a convert of the soft footbed. I have plantar faciitis and these were so comfortable. I will buy another pair for sure!

Wow, how Birkenstock has changed. While they look like the same shoes I bought in 1986, they're not! I just remembered today how back in '86 I vowed to never buy Birkenstocks again. Terrible pain to break in. Hard hitting the pavement. Glad I forgot about that experience...after one full day of trucking around, I'm happy as a clam at high tide. They got more comfortable as the day passed.

Exceptionally comfortable sandal! Does not slip off your feet like some do. Great arch support. Outstanding buy if you are looking for value as I have worn mine for 3 months and they still look great, even the sole!
