Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona - Birko-Flor® (Unisex)

Really need half sizes

I was so excited to get Birkenstocks. I had spent months saving up and looking for a good deal, and when I finally received them I was really excited. However, within the first week I was hobbling from place to place, and now over a month later I still have scabs and blisters on the inner side of my feet. I have done a lot of research to find out how to care for my birks. I allow them to air out in a dark, dry area of my room for days, and I do not get them wet. However, they smell horrible. Within 1 hour of wearing them each time, they stink like musty feet, and people around me have said "wow it smells like feet in this room". I get really self-conscious when i wear these shoes, and I get so stressed out about the odor of my feet. I'm really sad because I spent so much money on these, and I even bled for these shoes, and I'm at a loss for what to do. I also noticed that the side of the black part of the shoe are un-glueing from the cork. I honestly feel like i got a fake or defective shoe. I will add pics when i get home.

I specifically requested the Birkenstock Arizona in brown. Instead the shoe was sent to me in blue. Disappointed because I ordered the shore for a certain occasio but since it was sent it blue, I am not able to wear them.

This is terrible product...it feels cheap. Like a knockoff you can find at Payless. It's stiff and very uncomfortable to wear.

My Birks in the 80s and 90s lasted 2-5 years, easily, sometimes as many as 10. I got these as my first pair in 20 years last June and they were amazingly comfortable. But in only 8 months the arch completely collapsed, so much so that my toes that had been well inside the wrong went over it. Zappos does not replace defective shoes; they told me this is "normal wear and tear". I am appalled, and I cannot recommend either anymore.

Don't waste your money. They will start falling apart after about 3 weeks. Great concept and comfortable but made very poorly.

Dear costumer, While I would endorse Birkenstocks as they have gained my esteem, this specific model is not worth gracing your dainty foot. My only problem arises from the Birko-Flor, a moral vegan's alternative consisting of fake leather. The inside of my Birkenstock uppers after only a few days of wear began to pill on the inside. Over the last few weeks, the uppers have cracked and begun to tear down towards the sole. I would not recommend purchasing these shoes, but instead would look for the real leather Birkenstocks.

Uncomfortable sandals and made of very strong material but I like the design.
