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

I love the color and the soft footbed. I had an issue with sizing and once again, Zappos customer service was amazing!!

Unlike the traditional Birkenstock, the soft footbed has a little less support for the arch of the foot and seems to be quite a bit wider then the original style. Still feels good but quite different if you are used to the traditional style.

I love the look of these sandals, and I have tried so hard to convince myself that they will work for me. But, alas, I have decided they just won't. My left foot, (which is smaller???) feels as though it's in a box that does not conform to the human foot. When I walk and my foot bends, the shoe does not. I am returning them.

I have lived these for awhile but every time I tried them I hated them. Made my foot look sloppy,... Until I discovered narrow. I have a long skinny foot and the narrow made a huge difference. Love them.

Comfortable... color does not match the picture though... More of a brownish color than grey.

The fit was right on, I believe they will workout just fine, I haven't worn them all that much, they do need a break-in period, the new soft footbed is much more comfortable the the old style. I hope this new pair last as long as my first pair (approx.30 years)

I'm not sure trying to break them in but have had two blisters and sore feet. Loved my old pair so sure hope things get better. Thanks.

Seems like it takes awhile to fit properly. I've had these now for about two weeks. The bottom support feels better over time. The top straps are still sort of uncomfortable and would not want to do any long walking with them yet. I hope this improves. I've tried different buckle positions with some success, The part that still is uncomfortable is the lower half of the strap, esp the end where the top strap presses it against the foot. So if and when they fully break in they should be great. I practically live in sandals so what I wear needs to give great support and also great comfort. Why I bought these in the first place.

Delivery on time. Correct product. Fit was perfect (but I already knew it would be). Birk does take time to work in if not used to shoes with straps. The Birk pad feels great, but I have a high arch so the strap takes time to adjust to.

Ran too big. I wear and 10 and ordered a 41, it was huge. Sending back!

The pink part is too much as expected, other than that everything else is good!

After years of wearing Keen-style athletic sandals and being disappointed at their short shelf life (I'm hard on shoes), I went for these stylish Birks. So far I love them, although the tops of my toes are still irritated by that bottom strap. I think that's just something one has to get used to, but I'm still feeling that. They look great and feel great otherwise.

I do not think Birkenstocks are at all stylish but wanted comfortable sandals to wear around the house. These soft footbed sandals are very comfortable. I would recommend trying the narrow width. I have never worn shoes in narrow but definitely need the narrow in this sandal.

I suppose for some people this shoe might be OK. For me it was money wasted. They rubbed the top of my toe (I have an overlapping toe on one foot). They also made my ankles hurt. Guess my feet are just weird.

I love Birkenstocks, and although these are beautiful, they aren't as comfortable as usual because the patent leather is a little stiff and unforgiving. I hope it eventually breaks in. Meanwhile, they look so good that I wear them when I won't be walking all day, and really like the soft footbed.

I got the adorable orange ones with the white buckle - they're great! They're super soft and have great support, plus they're lightweight. Be warned, though, they run very big. The size guide said 39 was for an 8.5 - 9 and 38 was for a 7.5 - 8. I always wear an 8.5 or 9 and I wear a 39 in Dansko, but the 39 of this shoe was giant. Thanks to Zappos great service, it was super easy to swap them for a smaller size -- the 38s are still roomy but with the adjustable buckle they're perfect. Pricey, but worth it!

I'm wearing these sandals now and these are my second pair of Birkenstocks. They are my most comfortable footwear I have! The more you wear them, the more comfortable they are. I think the suede uppers are softer on your feet.

This is the first time I have bought Birkenstock sandals. I have a wide foot and the uni-sex sandal was plenty wide. I had to put the buckle on the tightest hole, so not for narrow footed people.

I like the footbed of the shoes. I am keeping the shoes, but the lower strap rubs on toes. I put moleskin on underneath side of strap, which helped.

These shoes are amazing. Especially if you are going to be on your feet and/or walking around a lot! life saver. Tons of support and super cute.

I bought both the regular and soft foot beds, and prefer the regular footbed. the soft ones feel good, but my feet feel better after wearing the regular foot beds.

I've never owned a pair of Birks before. I saw the Arizona online and the style and how it had the big two straps across, I knew I just had to have it. I picked the easy classic color of hunter brown. I had a free over night shipping, very fast indeed. Tried the shoes on and it fit perfectly. The color was exactly the same as is shown on the website. I admit that I had to get used to walking around in this type of shoes and it needed a little breaking into. But at the end of the day, I felt that the shoe fitted perfectly with my feet. I hope that this sandal will last me forever because I know that this is going to be my sandal for life! I will definitely explore more of the Birkenstock's new style.

I was really looking forward to wearing my Birkenstock's. This would be my first pair. I am sad to say that the size was a tad small. I am generally a 37 in all European shoes. I keep my fingers crossed 38 will not be too big. I walk a lot so I need something comfy. Just standing in them makes my feet very happy.

My first pair of Birkies. I had to try the narrow width, and the soft footbed. I put them on, tightened up the straps, and wore them all day. No slopping or slapping, just amazingly comfortable. They still make my feet look like I am wearing snowshoes (I have unusually large feet), but really comfortable snowshoes. The next day I went back on Zappos and bought my second pair of Birkies, ones that have a dressier look.

Very comfortable but the soft leather straps do not stand up so you need to use your hands to get your feet in. You cannot just slip your feet in.
