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

Besides not being able to tighten the straps to secure the sandals they were otherwise as expected.

These shoes were huge. I loved the look online but they dwarfed my feet in person. I need to stick with styles made for women, instead of unisex styles.

Great shoes and very comfortable. Birkenstock is a little proud of their product given the price.

love the way these sandals feel. easy break-in too.

High quality Sandler! Well made. Have skinny feet and had to get 2 holes punched in each strap. They do mold to your feet and feel better the longer you wear them. Leather straps are harsh at first but as you wear them they feel better. Don’t give up; will feel better with wear!

My first pair of Birkenstock Arizona. Like the style, color, fit. I have wide feet with bunions and got the 39 (my normal size) in narrow/medium. I thought I would need 39 wide/regular. But these were plenty wide for me and I was able to adjust the buckles for a better fit. So I’d say get narrow/medium if you’re sizing for a woman. I think they’ll feel great on my feet once broken in. Looking forward to using these for a long time!

I like the shoe. I have a toe joint inflammation on my big toe (hallux ridigus). I wore these for about 2 days before it began to hurt a lot. Bit was too late to return them, so I do t know what I will do. If you have hallux ridigus, think twice.

Fit was good but the leather straps are so stiff and hard, they rubbed the tops of my feet. Uncomfortable after a few hours of walking. I don’t remember my pairs from years past having this issue.

Ordered a narrow based on other reviews and it was fine for my daughter's "normal" feet, due to the buckles. We did end up returning them because there was a manufacturing flaw-- blob of dried glue (?) right on the front of the shoe, so obvious that I was surprised it passed quality control.

I have a wide foot and I got the regular width. Even with it on the smallest bucket I have room. I suppose with socks this will be good but I struggled with returning them for the narrow to make them snugger with bare feet. I decided to keep them since feet swell in heat and they should fit comfortably then. I thought the straps would be softer but they are hard and sharp. Hopefully they soften up soon.

I'm usually a size 7.5 to 8 but I ordered a 37 in these because I remember having to size down in Birkenstocks in the past. These were definitely too short, but the 37 in the Franca style were perfect. I have a sightly wide foot so I ordered the regular width in both and the width was comfortable. I don't think I'm going to reorder a 38 in these because the Franca strap placement made my feet feel more secure. I love the foot bed on these though. Excellent quality.

These are soooo comfortable!!! The best of the Birkenstocks. I got the black leather and decided to keep those instead. Just a matter of style preference. Regardless the 38 fits my size 7.5 medium to wide foot perfectly. And even enough room in the toe box for my long toes.

This is my size for all of my Birkenstock shoes. But these were inconsistent. The left shoe was fine but the right shoe was too loose and felt like the wrong size. I want to return them.

Too narrow at the middle of my foot - I usually take a wide width. At least for my feet, one size does not fit all widths. Otherwise very nice

Great

I returned for the color was not accurate. I t was more a dull light brown and not the beautiful color shown.

Loved the look but they were just too small.

I have used these sandals for many years due to the great heel support and soft bed. I just wish I could find them for about 25% less. I am paying a big premium to wear these shoes.

Birkenstock just aren't for me - I know so many that like these shoes, but I just can't.

I have worn this style for years and rarely wear anything else. I wanted to compare the soft footbed with the original footbed. To my surprise, I found I preferred the original footbed, though both are very comfortable.

Not as comfortable as thought. I'm giving them more time for my feet to mold to the cork.

Fit perfect, but making fart noises while I walk.. hopefully I break them in and the noises will stop.. looks great nonetheless

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks. They fit true to size for me and the arch support is just right for me. The color, Tobacco, was a lot lighter to me than the photo and almost looked like suede, whereas the photo looked more like oiled leather. I put 2 coats of mink oil on them and now they're perfect (see my before and after photo). I love them and am living in them this summer.

Love Berkenstock. I love these sandals, the color and the leather. Only thing is the leather was rather rough on the inside and scratched my foot as soon as I put them on. I am disappointed but will send back and get the suede kind.
