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

The size was TTS, but the style is lacking. As far as comfort they seemed okay, but they have grooves in the foot bed. Some may like this feature. I found it uncomfortable so sent the sandals back.

I ordered a narrow width. The first pair that came dyed my feet dark for 2 weeks. But they fit perfectly. So I returned them & was sent supposedly an identical pair. This pair is too wide. I had my husband drill extra holes, but they are not as comfortable as other pairs I have owned.

alll is fine, but the soft footbed is a waste of money

Much smaller than anticipated.

The style of this shoe is not suitable for feet with bunions. The strap is too loose on the bigger size with the proper width, leaving no additional holes for tightening. The width is too narrow with the smaller size, cutting into the bunion. I could not find a best fit.

I am not as happy in these Birkenstocks as I am in another pair I purchased, exactly the same style, only in black. The left sandal in this pair has caused me blisters at the base of the middle toe and are aggravating to wear with any sense of comfort. I have been left with having to wear a protective pad in that shoe so that I can walk in them without much discomfort. But still I am not pleased at all.

The front strap was too far forward and I think I'm allergic to oiled leather

The bottom of my right foot hurts if the shoes footbed is not very foamy. The footbed on this sandal is not comfortable at all for my foot. Also, I have flat feet and the arch hurt my foot so bad that I could not wear them for more than 5 minutes. I read reviews where people say that it takes time for the sandal to get comfortable, but I know that it would never be comfortable for me. I purchased the Birkenstock Women's Arizona Essentials EVA Sandals from another source and they are much more comfortable. They are not leather though.

To uncomfortable for me. For that price I expected more.

Too narrow in the toe area for me. The Florida and women’s Arizona birks seem more generous in the toe box. Sadly, these will be going back.

For someone that has always had a wide foot, I was quite surprised at the amount of extra space in the width of this sandal. It was so big, even with the strap on the last hole, that when raising my foot, there was ample space between the foot bed and the bottom of my foot.

I don't know if it was my imagination or not, but these were just too big even with the straps as tight as possible. Maybe the unisex ones are actually bigger? Anyway--they went back. Love all my other Birks though!

True to size, I am between women's size 10-10.5 in most all shoes so the 41 fits well. The is my second pair of Birkenstock Arizona (Soft Foot Bed) but these from Zappos don't feel like the foot bed is soft at all compared to my other pair that I bought in person at a shoe store. I also compared to another pair and just not the same. These feel like the regular foot bed kind, just too hard for my bony feet... Planning on returning, zappos return policy makes it easy.

So sad. I have been wanting some Birkenstock’s for years, since I was a teen a couple decades ago. I finally purchased them this week to find that, in the correct size for my foot, the front of the sandal angles too sharply from big to little toes and leaves my middle toe up on the lip of the sole. It’s definitely raised and very uncomfortable every time I step. There is no working into that. The rest of my toes were happy and comfortable. As well as the rest of my foot. But I can’t have any part of my foot irritated, and therefore must sadly send them back and hope someone makes comfy sandals like these with a more square toe area for my Roman foot shape. Thank you Zappos for having such great customer service! Always 6 out of 5 stars!

Was way to large and long for a 43. Needed to return for a smaller size.

Runs really big. I usually wear 6 but I am 4 on Birkenstock. Do not order wide size unless you have really wide feet. Excellent service from Zappos and easy to return, thank you!

Problem with my special order, is that they sent me the wrong size, 2 sizes too big. Doesn't anyone read the labels? So I had to return, someone got my size and now I had to special order again.

I ordered these thinking they would be a solution to a suctioning noise that the regular footbed was giving me. However, the fit on the soft footbed just doesn't feel as good to me. Overall, I have to wear the straps quite loose to accommodate for the softer footbed, and although they feel comfier at first, I was worried that the leather straps would stretch too much over time and I would have wound up with Birks far too loose to stay on. I ordered a pair or regular footbeds again and am sticking with those - more secure and supportive fit! I do think these would be great if you have soft or sensitive feet, as long as the fit is secure for you.

Unisex sizing is absolutely different from women's. I have a couple of pairs of Arizonas; I'm always a women's 38R. Ordered both the 38N and R. Sandals are shorter and wider than women's version. Narrow was perfect width for me, but sandal was just a little too short. One size up would definitely be too long for me, so back they went. As always, Zappos customer service was exceptional.

Not sure why my delivery was set for 6 days following my order with Zappos VIP. Have the rules changed?

Love Zappos, loved the look of these Birks, but the arch support felt like a rock in my shoe. Back they went.

Great for standing. For walking not so great. The leather is really nice.

These arrived SUPER scuffed. The leather looked scratched like someone took a key to it.

I wear a 8.5 shoe and followed the sizing instructions for a 41. Sorry to say that it was much too large. Had to return it.

I really wanted these sandals to work but the arch support was too much for my feet. The width was also more than I needed - I had the buckle set on the last hole.
