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

Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - My job requires that I am on my feet all day...and in order to not have aching knees and hips, I need a good arch support...these shoes do the trick....I have been wearing Birkenstocks now for 27 years....and the soft footbed is an added bonus. In the beginning I felt I had to change my wardrobe to wear things that looked ok with the Birks, but now I'm happy with those choices as well. I am 60 years old, and my feet look like those of a much younger person....I think it's because I stopped wearing high heels, and shoes for fashion a long time ago...and started wearing shoes for comfort and well-being...Birks... I can take the grandkids to Disney and walk all day with them, including standing in long lines, and still have no problems with my feet...I am a fan!

I love my Birkenstocks! Birkenstocks are the best sandals in the world! I wear a size 6 1/2 and a 37 fit me perfectly. They're super comfortable. I wear mine with and without socks.

Zappos experience - Shoes arrived the day after I ordered; they are what I wanted. They are comfortable and provide good support. Zappos recommendation that I order a narrow for a medium width was good advice.

Both my boyfriend and I wear Birks-we love them. This is the 2nd pair he's purchased. They are extremely comfortable and have a lot of support. They do take a bit to get used to - a little stiff at first, but they do soften up.

Very Comfortable Birkenstock - I purchased these sandals as a recommendation from my foot doctor. These sandals have been great and my feet feel wonderful in them. It took several pairs before the sizing worked out (Thank you Zappos!) but I eventually got it right. The narrows were to narrow and the regular was too wide. I settled with the regular and I punched an extra hole for tightness. It took about 1 week to break them in and then they were perfect. I would definitely buy from Zappos again! Planning to purchase another pair from Zappos for the winter. Great sandal!!! Not crazy about the look but they truly are the most comfortable sandals/shoes I have ever worn. Thanks Zappos!

The best you will have - After searching shoe after shoe I have found gold! I have had ankle fusion and several operations before that also metatarsal nerve op. well now I have suffered with plantar fasciitis bout gave up, but my surgeon said he wears Birkis so thought I would give them a try. Could not believe the difference. That is what I have been wearing since they arrived. Plan on getting several pair and throwing away about a zillion foot pads! Thanks Zappos, you are great best place to shop fast and easy service. Also got some Maryjanes by Earth, also very good!!!

Comfortable - The straps were too loose and needed to be tightened beyond the holes provided.

Great for Plantar’s Fasciitis - This is an amazingly comfortable and supportive shoe. The position of the footbed, combined with the way it supports the sole of my foot, almost completely relieve the pain of my plantar fasciitis. With the cushioned insole, I can walk in it all day without pain.

Comfort! These sandals were so worth the wait. My size wasn't available right away but Zappos notified me when they were available and of course with their overnight shipping they were here in no time! They were comfortable from the moment I put them on. Wore them for an extended period of time for the first time and no blisters. I would recommend the soft footbed over the regular ones. I tried those first and ended up sending them back. These are great!

This is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn! I loved my old Birkenstock Arizona sandals, but these Soft Footbed ones just rock. They're comfortable, supportive and springy fresh out of the box. I wear them all the time for just hanging out and short walks. I don't know about really long athletic walks though, because I prefer my high top sneakers for that.

Love this shoe! I am 60 years old and have worn this shoe for years and years. My puppy recently chewed on them, so I have just replaced two pairs of the Birkenstock Arizona soft footbed. They are comfortable and wide enough in the toebox. I have had several foot operations over the years and always come back to this sandal for comfort. I only wish the soft footbed came in other colors!

Great for Plantar Fasciitis! If you have plantar fasciitis, or just tired feet, please consider these shoes. They are not the most trendy-looking shoes but your feet will thank you! Birkis especially work well if your arch is on the normal to higher side. The soft footbed is EVEN better than regular Birkenstocks- I have been wearing them almost daily for a year and the foot beds are still soft. (Wore regular Birkenstocks for 20 years before that.) I only wish Birkenstocks made steel toed boots so I could wear them at work too!

Birkenstock's Arizona Soft Footbed delivers - I find this sandal to be very comfortable - as much as the custom orthotics in my walking shoes. The footbed is easy on the feet and the support is where I want it to be. I, like others, eventually needed to punch extra holes in the straps because they stretched. I thought the width was just a tad narrow to be called a wide version of the sandal. I would buy Birkenstock Soft Footbed sandals again.

Birkenstock soft foot beds - Bought for my daughter with Down Syndrome--very pronated (not flat) feet (rolls in). They support better than other sandals I have gotten for her, but if you really need custom arch supports (which she does), these are no substitute...We like them for hot days and short walks--she sears walking shoes with her arch supports most of the time.

Well satisfied - I just received my first pair of Birkies in the mail today. I think I've found a new favorite pair of footwear!! They feel comfortable, right out of the box, and the foot bed feels very natural. Zappos should be commended too, on their speedy delivery. I'll be bookmarking Zappos for my future footwear needs, that's for sure!

Love this shoe! From the moment I took them out of the box and placed them on my feet it was love. They are so comfortable and cute. These shoes are the reason why I will be a devoted Birkie for life.

My Best Friend - My best friend had this shoe and completely wore it out. She would rather go without most shoes with the exception of this pair. I sent her a new pair as a surprise and her response said it all: "Happy Feet, Happy Feet!!"

Birkenstocks are great shoes - Birkenstocks are the best shoe I have ever had; they are comfortable, easy to get on or off, easy to wear with jeans, long bohemian style skirts and just to wear around the house. I love them and hate that Birkenstocks do not make high heel shoes for dressing up. You can walk for hours (24 if you want) without having blisters, aching feet and even your legs will feel great.

Excellent shoe. I own a few pairs of Birkenstocks but never the soft sole. Very comfy as expected.

I'm obsessed with Birkenstocks now! These shoes are super comfy. They also look great with everything I wear such as skinny jeans, shorts and skirts. I highly recommend getting these comfy shoes.

Excellent sandals. Comfortable from the minute I put them on... much softer than the classic Birkenstock. Highly recommend.

Wonderful shoes – These are the most comfortable Birks I’ve ever had. The soft foot bed makes a world of difference. I wish they looked a little better with skirts, but I will sacrifice for comfort...and they are that!

Very comfy and elegant looking. It is like walking in a pair of slippers.

Comfort! I bought these to wear to Disneyland. I wore them 3 full days with no break in period and they were very comfortable. The extra padding in the soft foot bed is a must. I haven't worn Birkenstock's in 15 years, but I love them all over again.

My Second pair of Birkenstocks - I am enjoying my new Birkenstocks tremendously. This is the second pair I have owned. I wore my first pair until they could not be worn any longer. I love how comfortable they keep my feet. They only feel better the more I wear them. The arch and built in heel cup is just what I need without wearing a closed shoe. I love them. : )
