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.

I ordered the Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed\'s for my husband who has a wide foot and likes comfort. It\'s the first pair of Birkenstock\'s he has ever owned and he loves them. He say\'s that they felt great from the first wear and he will only buy Birkenstock from now on.

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!

Great shoe -
The soft footbed worked great for me. The sizing was right...you need the narrow for women usually wearing a medium width. I have a little problem with my feet but nothing to do with the shoes...I'm satisfied.

Fourteen year-old granddaughter loves them!
She asked me for some Birks for Christmas - apparently they are the thing to wear in the group she hangs out with at high school. She loves them, wears them without socks, even when it's snowing. She says they are too comfortable to wear anything else, if she has the choice.

Comfort for Plantar Fasciitis -
I've had plantar fasciitis for the last 3 years+ and I have tried all sorts of regular inserts, custom made inserts, special running shoes, taping the feet, icing, rolling foot over the ball, cortisone shots etc. Nothing seems to keep my foot pain under control as good as these sandals+ daily stretching. I highly recommend these. Don’t be disappointed because initially (~ a week) they feel very hard on the feet. Then they miraculously mold to your feet and feel so comfy.

Wearing these for years -
A podiatrist suggested this sandal years ago and I've been wearing them ever since, as a slipper. They are wonderful and comfortable.

I have been wearing a similar pair of sandals for nearly five years. It was a pleasant surprise to find this new pair serve the same purpose but with comfort and support. I clearly need to pay more attention to my feet!

Not like the original -
This shoe is much more comfortable than the original Birkenstock. The arch support is just enough.

Bought these Birkenstocks and thought I would try the soft footbed out. I absolutely love them. They fit great and are super comfortable. Had a pair of the old hard footbeds and they were great too but took a long time to wear in. These felt great from day one.

I bought this shoe for my husband who has never worn sandals before. He said he couldn't find any that were comfortable. He loves this shoe! That says it all!
