Well, after saying goodbye to my worn out and abused pair of Birkenstock shoes I've had for 9 years, and trying really hard to switch to another, more flattering, sandal, I've had to come crawling back to Birkenstock. Plus the extra cushioning on the foot bed enticed me to cough up more money than I had planned on to! But, my feet are happy. I repeat, my defective, maddeningly screwed-up old feet are happy. So, I will continue to go around in sandals that accentuate my chunky, short, stumpy legs and wide feet. Ah well!

The only shoe I can wear for hours standing. I have high arches and the footbed molds to my feet perfectly. The new softbed is even more comfortable. I've been wearing Birkenstocks for thirty years and always look forward to my next new pair (which isn't too often, as they wear like iron). The best value for the quality and comfort.

Never thought I would truly like these. they were recommended by a friend who thought they might ease my hip pain. Not a style I would have normally picked, but I actually really like them. I'm on my feet all day and and wear them to work quite regularly. They've become my go to shoes when running out the door in a hurry with jeans, shorts whatever. Am actually looking at getting another pair. Haven't noticed any difference with the hips, but shoes are very comfortable.

I've been wearing Birkenstocks since the early 1970s. Prior to that I wore Capezios. At this point in my life, I wear Birks exclusively. The relatively new "soft foot bed" is terrific. I have had 5 separate foot surgeries and wearing Birks has most certainly contributed to my recovery from those operations.

These are my first Birkenstock shoes ever and I love them so far! My daughters both wear Birkenstock shoes and love them too. I have a high arch and wear wool clogs with a cork foot bed all the time, and figured that the cork foot bed on these Birkenstock shoes would work well for me as a summer alternative. The soft foot bed has been key for me. I tried the other foot beds and they were just too firm. So far these have been perfect. One size note, I usually wear a 6/ 2 wide shoe, and these Birkenstock shoes fit perfect in a 5.5 regular. My only request is that Birkenstock would make their soft foot beds in more styles and colors. Thanks to Zappos for ultra-fabulous service, as always. Zappos is number 1 for service.

I've worn Birkenstock Arizona's for years, but these are exceptional! I ordered the new Arizona's with Soft Footbeds and I love them! It's hard to beat the Birkenstock footbed for comfort and molding to the shape of your foot, but these Soft Footbeds mold and shape just as well as the traditional soles, and they're much, much more comfortable. If you shy away from Birkenstocks because they feel "hard" on your feet, try these. You won't be disappointed.

Love these Arizona Soft Footbeds. I have had may pairs over the years. So I have lost count as to how many pairs I have had. Currently, I have three pairs in different colors. Love 'em.

The Birkenstock Arizona, Soft Footbed in suede is wonderfully comfortable. I emphasize soft footbed and suede because these two things make a world of difference. The leather in suede is much more comfortable than the harder leather, and the cushioning effect of the soft footbed is like walking on a cloud vs the normal footbed. The only problem is the lack of colors. If you get this shoe, ask for more colors. They have all kinds of colors for other styles, so why not this one?

I love Birkenstocks. I have too many pairs to count. This though is my first pair with the Soft Footbed--I love them. They are really cushy and comfortable. Also, I love the deep purply blue color. Although the color looks as though it is really dark, they are actually quite bright. The color really "pops." They look great with jeans and shorts.

Always dependable and no surprises here! Birkenstocks can be taken to the bank..........this particular shoe is a bit more comfortable than the basic model. The footbed is softer and more pliable. Open modeled Birkenstocks always run wide (the women's models do, anyway) so be sure and order a narrow if you have a medium width foot. Just in time for summer-ENJOY!

Soft footbed, very comfortable, size 38 fits my wide 7.5 size foot perfectly. Love the olive green leather color - different but not garish.

I love Birkenstocks. They last forever and offer the best in arch support. I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes really help.

I have worn Birkenstocks for 25 years and have been pleased. They are the best sandals there are. With the wider size and the soft footbed available the best have become even better. The only thing that exceeds Birkenstock quality and comfort is Zappos service. I cannot say enough good things about shopping at Zappos.

A shoe to wear to forget about daily tensions and hurting feet. They are soft and arch supporting. I have these in five different colors and enjoy wearing each and very one. Love the new fall colors. Life is good when stepping out in an Arizona Soft Footbed.

I purchased these Birkenstock sandals for my husband and he just loves them and me. I've been wearing Birkenstock shoes now for more than 10 years and I can't begin to tell you how they relieved the pain in my hip.

The most comfortable sandal made, period. Even out of the box I can wear the soft footbed Arizona's for eight hours or more. I now have five pairs of Arizonas and love them all. Zappos is a top-shelf company. It is such a pleasant surprise dealing with a company that not only believes in customer service, but excels in customer service.

I was in desperate need of some new Birkenstalks and found Zappos online! Prices were great, they had what I needed in stock and shipping was free! The shoes came a few days later and were exactly what I ordered and needed! I would buy from your company again! Thanks

Super sandals - zero break-in if you are used to wearing Birkenstocks already. Not the prettiest sandal, but soft, cushy footbeds for hours of walking and/or staying on your feet. My only suggestion would be when purchasing any style with the soft footbed, to order a size up from your regular size. I have found that the extra cushioning takes up more room than the regular hard footbed. I just wish Birkenstock would make MORE styles in the soft footbed… so amazing!

I recently purchased my Birkenstocks and I wear them all day everyday! I exercise about 6 days a week. I began having foot pain in the ball of one foot from wearing inexpensive shoes around the house. The pain completely went away after the first week. What a great shoe!

These ROCK for comfort. Been at wit's end with the fasciitis problem (in a perfect world Birkenstock would come up with a comp toe for work), have a pair of these for knocking around and a cuter pair for going out, both with the newer softbed. They stay on your feet, don't make slap sounds when you walk and, having come of age in the 60's, I never did think they were ugly. To each his own, right? Interesting thing about the Birkenstock insole: while it "encourages the natural gripping motion of the toes" it's a gentle gripping. Most open-backed sandals have me digging my toes in like crazy to keep the sandals on. I have high arches and a very high instep, a double whammy for finding shoes that fit. So many shoe reviews show "excellent arch support" but seem to have been written by people with normal arches. These really DO have excellent arch support.

New Convert - I realize that Birkenstocks have been around forever, and I only recently bought my first pair. Now I know what all the hype is about! My touchy arthritic feet loved these Arizonas from the get-go; there was no break-in period. I'm glad I read the reviews on this brand, though, since a narrower, smaller size is needed when buying Birkenstocks. I find the styling totally attractive and, rest assured, I'll be shopping for more of these soon!
