My third pair of this shoe...have foot issues and even wear them as slippers around the house. Soft bed is wonderful. My sister who just bought her first pair loves them too. Always felt it was just the name that sold the shoe...no, it is a great shoe and stands on its own.

I am returning this pair and exchanging it for a larger size. I usually wear a 9.5 to 10 and ordered a 40 Narrow because that is the size I wear in Mephisto. These were too small in length but the width was fine. Otherwise they arrived quickly and look like the photo and description.

I have had a pair of these shoes for 15 years and have loved them so was excited to find another pair just like them except better with the soft footbed. I could still read the size so I ordered and they are perfect.

The best! I'm a 7.5 and the 38 fits perfectly. This Florida style really fits great. The soft footbed is really nice, great support for my feet and it fills the shoe a little in volume. I like the width, according to Birks, I'm a regular! I'm through looking for wides in every other shoe company. Back to the best shoe company ever! Get more styles, Zappos!

I've wanted these sandals for a long time and now I have them. There is a break in period for Berks but now they fit like a glove. I like the way they look in nubuck. I have wide feet but the regular width in these sandals fits fine with room to spare. Doing business with Zappos is the best deal around. Service is AAA!

I love these shoes. The soft foot bed is so comfortable. Great arch support. I wish they made more styles with the soft foot bed. I wear a size 8 and the 39 fit perfectly. Highly recommended.

Just what I wanted. I am a long time Birkenstock customer - for the soft footbeds! Years ago I was delighted to find they came in Narrow and they are the only sandals I wear. I have the Sydney in black and am looking at the Papillio line also. These are so good for your feet!

I love these sandals. The soft footbed is my preferred choice as I have a bad back and these help to soften the impact of walking. Also, these sandals are not as wide as the classic Birkenstocks. I would recommend this sandal to others.

Except for the fact that I was sent smooth leather instead of the nubuck these were a terrific sandals. Like all soft footbed Birkis, they support your feet and are good to go right out of the box. The three straps are great and keep your feet firmly in the sandals. I recommend them highly!

If you have a wide foot, you might have problems with this sandal until the leather breaks in. I've had rubbing issues with the straps and tightness across the width of my foot. Had to punch a new hole in the smallest strap to lengthen. Otherwise, very comfortable and cute.

These shoes are amazing! 50 years of foot pain solved. They do run quite large. I had to return the first pair and order two sizes down. Break in easily.

These are my first pair of Birkenstocks and they felt so supportive and comfortable right out of the box. I researched quite a bit trying to decide on the right size and went with a 39. I wear a 9-9.5 and it ended up being perfect. The oiled leather is really nice too. These are not the most fashionable shoes unless you are a hippie but their fit redeems this entirely.

These fit very well and conform to my foot. Very comfortable. I would definitely buy these again. Glad to find these in a narrow size.

Great shoes. I have never owned a pair of Birkenstock before and I don't know why I waited so long. Very comfortable. Short break-in time. Wear a couple of days with thin socks and that will do it. I order a size down (38) because of the other reviews,I wear an 8M and they fit perfect. Zappos sent them out fast too.

These are my first Birkenstocks and I love them! I like the three strap style because I find it to be more feminine than the classic Arizona. I usually wear a 7 or a 7 1/2 which translates to a 38. I have regular sized feet (not wide or narrow). I initially tried on a 38W and it was too wide and too long for my toes. I eventually bought a 36W. I've had them for about 12 hours and every time I put them on they get more comfortable! My mother who has foot problems also got a pair and loves them. They're great, everyone should own a pair!

I have been wearing Birks for years now. My foot has naturally spread out some so it is longer and wider than it used to be (bones no longer crushed in "fashionable" shoes. Given this, I was surprised that I wear a narrow shoe. So the average person will most likely fit better in a narrow rather than wider Birk. I have had my Florida pair for over 10 years now. They are beat to heck as I have worn them gardening and at the beach, but the footbed is so nicely molded to my feet that I am only now considering getting a replacement for them to wear in public (will still wear the ratty looking ones at home). These shoes are quality made and if you take even a little bit of care for them, they will last you practically forever. I have also purchased the Papillon line of Birks and been happy with them as well. They are a dressier shoe than the Florida, but have still held up to my abuse of wearing them year round even in the rain.

I absolutely love my new Birkenstock Florida Soft Footbed - Nubuck sandals! They are more versatile than the Arizona sandals that I have worn for a couple of years in that I can wear them for a rather dressy occasion and my usual casual outfits. Zappos is such a fantastic source for shoes in that delivery is so fast and if one is not completely satisfied they can be returned up to one year and at no cost if in original condition. The shoes are so comfortable that I know I will be wearing the Birkenstock soft footbeds for years.

The most comfortable shoes ever. This is my sixth pair and they are perfect. They also help with plantar fasciitis, i.e. make it go away. If they made these in purple, like they used to, I would be in seventh heaven. They are not stylish, but you know that from the picture, so you need a really pretty pedicure to pass the aesthetic test. Small price to pay.

If you aren\'t a regular Birkenstock user, these are for you. The soft footbed provides almost the same support of a standard Birkenstock with extra cushioning. The three straps are the softest I have found. I have a leg length difference and Birks are the easiest to get modified. I use one pair for slippers and one pair for outdoor sandals.

I have worn this style in Betula before. I found that I often wore athletic shoes around the house for the cushioning so I decided to try soft footbed. Not only is the soft footbed an improvement but these are wider than the Betula which is helpful to me. I prefer wide width shoes through the toe area. I usually wear a 10 or 10 1/2, and I got 41 in these. I like the 3-strap style. I rated them high on style because I like practical comfortable shoes.

Been wearing Birkenstocks for 30 years. My order arrived in a few days, all good. They were the usual quality Birkenstocks, shoes I have ordered before. For people who are considering ordering for the first time I suggest suede for comfort and the money spent on the soft foot bed is worth it. This style pictured is very comfortable, my favorite. I recently ordered a Birkenstock from QVC because it was on sale, it was a new style, a two thin strap patent leather. Don't like them as much. The straps are too much near the top of the foot and they flop off, I am returning. So stick with the good old traditional style. This one (Florida soft bed) is wonderful and comfortable. Something else, often they suggest buy 1/2 size bigger, I would not recommend this. Buy your shoe size, or better yet, go to a Birkenstock store and get measured so you know your exact Birkenstock size. Love these shoes, have no back problems I believe because I only wear Birkenstocks.
I'd also recommend:
two strape that is wider and close to the ankle, two strap with strap around the back of the heal, and clogs... all great.. get the soft foot bed for comfort.

I am so pleased with these sandals. I love the adjustable straps, you can have them as snug or as loose as you like. I can walk freely with relaxed toes/feet, they fit amazingly well. Worth the investment for sure!
