Great shoes and I LOVE the soft footbed. It was the first time I had tried that and you can tell a difference. We’re going to be doing quite a bit of walking over the 4th of July, so I feel very prepared with my new Birks. Some people said they thought these shoes ran wide, so I ordered both the regular and narrow widths and did not find the regular to be too wide. I know they aren’t the most fashionable footwear around, but with a variety of foot problems, I find myself opting for comfort and support, at least when there’s going to be a lot of walking involved.

After giving away my last pair of Birks because they seemed too wide and rubbed my instep in strange places, I decided to give these a try. The buckles are smaller than my last pair, and these are great. I put them on when they arrived and have enjoyed total comfort ever since. I really like the soft footbed for my bony feet. The size is perfect. I’m so happy that I tried Birks again!

These are great shoes. Very comfortable. When I wore them the first day, the buckle closest to my toes rubbed a bit, but that went away after a day or so and I've had no other issues with them. The footbed is soft and comfortable and they are extremely sturdy shoes that are well worth the money. I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot and wanted a good supportive sandal, which I found in this shoe. Not the cutest shoe in the world, but they are a bit more stylish than the two strap style. I find they typically look better when worn with pants rather than shorts or capris.

Absolutely love these sandals! It took about one week of wearing them before they fit my feet perfectly. The right one felt a little tight initially, but now the shoes have conformed to my feet and both feel great. And of course Birkenstocks go well with jeans and skirts and are great slip ons for the summer months. Now I can wear these for the next 10 years like my last pair that was completely worn out!

Terrific sandal -
The new soft footbed is ready for your feet the moment you first put them on! They are great. And the Florida style is a bit more feminine than the Arizona without sacrificing any comfort or support.

I can always count on a Birkenstock to fit my extra wide feet...and they are especially comfortable with the soft footbed. Fortunately, I like the look of them, too. I know they aren't dainty enough for some, but they are cute in their own way. I love doing business with Zappos!! They can't be beat for FAST courteous service! Thanks so much.

I resisted getting Birks for years...
These shoes are, as you'd expect, very comfortable, but they're actually not bad looking either. I've resisted getting them for years, but am now pregnant and my feet are hurting. These are great for around the house and for short outings. I find that even with the narrows (I have quite narrow feet), I bunch my toes as I walk, which would make long walks not that comfortable. Maybe I just need to get a bit more used to them. Overall, I'm quite pleased.

I ordered these shoes for a lengthy Disney trip, expecting to walk at least 8+ hours a day and needing a shoe that was not bulky, that I could wear often, and would be comfortable. I normally wear a 6.5/7 when I wear a shoe without socks, and I bought a 7.5 which worked out well. I put these shoes on in the AM and they were great - no blisters, binding, etc. but were completely comfortable for walking around the park, sometimes holding a 35 lb. child. I am very pleased with them - with the comfort, but also they were very cute with casual dresses/skirts. I will be ordering a 2nd pair in another color.

Beautiful, great craftsmanship, comfort. I have many Birkenstock shoes. This is first soft bed. It is wonderful for standing and walking on hard surfaces. I do have knee and hip discomfort. Love them and highly recommend. On the soft footbed, for closed toe shoes, get a size larger if you are going to wear socks.

Great buy!
Okay, they are not the prettiest things to look at, but they are great for your feet. We moved to a house with hard wood floors and my feet, knees, and ankles were killing me by the end of the day. I wear these shoes as my "inside" shoes and they have made a huge difference. The soft bed option is really nice. I have a slim, flat foot. Ordered the narrow and they fit fine.

So comfortable!
Not so beautiful, but what Birkenstock is? I am 67 and having some knee problems, hard time walking too long, etc. My daughter recommended Birkenstock (she's 41), but said they were "hippie" shoes. I’m now a happy, comfortable Birkenstock hippie walker. I have a very narrow foot & they are adjustable to probably AAA width. I usually wear a 10 and did have to go with the 11 - but with free Zappos shipping, I just exchanged. P.S. - my young grandchildren love them!

Awesome Birkenstock -
I ordered these up for a friend of mine, who, in training for a walking marathon, was developing plantar fasciitis. She started wearing these and her heel tendon is healing, allowing her to continue her 5 and 12 mile training regimen. She's now a convert to what I've been saying all along - Birk's rock!

Florida Soft Footbed sandal -
I have been wearing these shoes for the past 8 years I think. I love them. They fit, they are comfortable and with the 3 straps they feel secure. Keep this style always. It is timeless. I have a problem on the bottom of my foot and as a result I cannot wear any other shoe that feels so good.

These sandals are a wonderful walking sandal and look great at the same time. Excellent support at a fair price.

Birkenstock Florida -
This shoe is a very good fit. Narrow size is a great option for a more narrow foot, as the regular size can be wide. Comfortable and true to size. Black is a good color - goes with everything.

Exactly what my feet needed -
Had a pair in high school 15 years ago & lost them. My feet and ankles were so sore lately, I thought I needed another pair. I literally received them the next day without upgrading any shipping options and my feet and ankles couldn't feel better. My only complaint is that the leather dye comes off on the tops of your feet - I think that will diminish over time. I highly recommend Zappos for their super customer service.

Love 'em -
The ad says a 'narrow' is an American 'regular' and a 'regular' is an American 'wide'. So, I bought the narrow. Wrong! The narrow doesn't fit right. For a true Birk fit you need to order the regular even if you don't have wide feet.

Comfortable sandals -
These sandals are comfortable, but not as comfortable as my Florida Birkenstock's that I have had for the past 16 years! Not sure if it is because those are "worn in." :) Also, arch support not as good as my 16-year-old Florida Birkenstock's.

My favorite summer shoes -
I'm generally a high heeled sandal type of gal, but these are my favorite shoes. They feel awesome and I have just purchased my second pair--identical to the first. Only reason I had to buy a second pair (had the first for 8 years) was that we moved and I lost one shoe in the process. Anyway, ordered a different style to start, but I returned them as I prefer the Florida Cocoas. For Birkenstocks, they are fairly attractive on your feet and they are the most comfortable shoes I own. Too bad they don't come in a high heel! I generally wear a 38 in Euro size, but these felt best at 37.
