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

For those who can't wear flip flops - I bought these for my husband who has bad feet (needs support) and he is very picky about shoes. He loved these! He put them on, has had no complaints and his feet don't hurt. Success. I think they are the ugliest shoes, but I don't have to wear them. Thanks to all who sent in reviews. It is why I bought them. Thanks to Zappos for great service!

New Birks for "new feet" - I recently had surgery for my bunions and a hammertoe and I thought this shoe would be great when the doctor said I could FINALLY wear shoes again. The soft footbed feels sooo good and the adjustable straps allow for any swelling that may occur. Besides those reasons, this is a very comfortable summer sandal and fun to wear. My "new feet" are very happy.

Fabulous shoe! Very comfortable shoe. Love the soft footbed.I have lower back pain from sitting at a desk all day and these shoes have definitely helped. Be sure to order your true size. Birks are supposed to fit a little long for free movement of the toes. Also, order the narrow if you are a narrow or regular width. Once you get used to these shoes, you will never want to take them off!

Birkenstock Arizona sandals - These are great sandals. They take a few wearings to get used to, but once you are used to them, they are like a second foot.

Carol from Staten Island, NY - Great shoe. I have ordered several pairs already. A word to the wise when you are purchasing suede ones you should get narrow. The suede stretches out and your foot comes out.

Best sandal for plantar fasciitis!!! WOW - These are the most comfortable shoes I ever wore. I put them on in the morning and don't take them off until bedtime. I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis on my left foot and by far only this Birkenstock and my New Balance tennis shoes for work at the hospital do their job.

Love the soft footbed - Love this shoe!!! The upgrade to the soft footbed is well worth the expense for people with chronic foot problems.

Have worn this particular style of Birk for years. The soft footbed makes it nicer. I do believe it is a smidge longer than the previous models of Arizona, however...

AWESOME!! The most comfortable sandals you can buy! Would buy another pair but Birkenstock's last for many years; worth the money!!

Quick and Easy - I hate shoe shopping. This is great!

My dad says Birkenstocks rock! I sent my Dad these shoes for his birthday. He has thanked me three times, and told me how much he loves them. They last for years and are well worth the price!

My husband really likes his birthday present. I bought him this sandal in Mocha Suede. He typically wears 10.5 wide, and size 44 (11-11.5) regular in this sandal fit him perfectly. The adjustable straps are a plus. Zappos customer service is great!

These shoes were for my son. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he's ever worn. And, they came in ONE day.

As comfortable as ever - I bought my first pair or these about 13 years ago and I have worn them every summer since. I figured after 13 years it was time to replace them. They are just as great, but love the new soft footbed.

So Comfortable! I have always loved Birkenstocks, but traded them in for fancier footwear after college. Recently, I started having some ankle swelling from sitting at a desk all day and decided that my fancy shoes weren't helping. I needed a comfortable shoe to wear and immediately thought of Birkenstocks. I have been wearing them at my desk and around the house and they feel great. I've also had so many complements on them and lots of my friends now want to get a pair as well. You can't go wrong with Birkenstocks if comfort is what you are after! I usually wear a 9.5 and the 40 fits me perfectly, although they are a little wider than I remember. Maybe I bought the narrow size before.

Stopped my heel pain - I was suffering with heel pain for at least a year and a half. I tried everything, including those stupid expensive Good Feet inserts, and nothing worked until I started wearing these Birkenstocks exclusively. People make fun of me all the time for wearing sandals and socks, but I don't care because my feet don't hurt anymore!!!

Softer support - I love the support of Birkenstocks but found that my feet felt a bit beat up by the soles. I discovered the soft footbeds first with the Boston’s and now with the Arizona’s; they are perfect. I get all the support I need and the bottom of my foot feels better. There are more and more sandals with the soft footbed and everyone should try one, they're great!

As always, perfect! Both the Birkenstock's and Zappos were perfect. These revamped soft footbed Arizona's replaced the old version. I wear mine out every two years (I have no idea how so many people keep them forever). I don't mind replacing them or the cost because they've been a staple for me for so long. There is no break in time (for me, anyhow) though I was concerned that the new footbed would be a problem. It wasn't. Same size as always and a perfect fit. Now I just need the same in Nubuck. By the way, Zappos is the only place offering a choice of regular or narrow (I need regular), as well as choice of color. You cannot beat free ship both ways, either, and, to top it off, they overnighted them to me. If you've never tried Birkenstock's, these should be where you start, and if you've never tried Zappos, once you do, you'll never shop anywhere else!

So comfortable I love my pair. I’ve had them for years and they haven't fallen apart.

Great Birk! I have a long narrow foot so ordered these in narrow and they fit perfectly. Absolutely love these!

Best sandals ever - I've been wearing Birks for decades. The "soft footbed" option makes an already comfy shoe even more so. If your feet are normal width, order the "narrow" width.

Comfort - My first pair of birkenstocks. I tried twice before and didn't like them, but I finally found the soft foot Birkie. It's comfortable enough to stand on my feet for a long time. Since my feet get cold, I will now focus on a closed pair. (I live in the northeast.)

Completely satisfied - My order arrived very quickly. I gave the look of the shoe a "3" only because I never liked the look of these shoes; hence, this is my first pair. I was desperate for comfort, though, and when my manicurist told me that she has the same foot problems as I do, and the Birkenstock soft footbed shoe resolved all of her issues, then I ignored my bias about the look of the shoe, and took a chance. I'm very happy with my decision.

Waited too long - I've worn Birkenstocks for awhile and finally got my husband to try a pair. I recommended the soft footbed because there is no break-in period. He loves them and says emphatically he wishes he had tried them sooner.

Perfect - They are my second pair. And leave it to Zappos to get me a great price. Happy as always.
