I buy a new pair of Birkenstock Arizonas about every 2 years, and wear them indoors all day, every day (I work from a home office). I also have several outdoor pairs of Birkenstocks in different styles/colors for summertime use. It takes me 2 years of daily use to wear out the cork -- the heel end will eventually crumble. But they are SO comfortable that nothing else comes close -- I have bunions and have found nothing else as supportive and pain-free to wear as this shoe. The suede is soft and needs no breaking in, and the molded cork cradles/supports your foot. So do your feet a favor -- these are the best.
I'd also recommend:
Keens -- although they aren't as good as Birkenstocks.

I've always wanted to purchase a pair of these, but I've been hesitant because I have narrow feet and they never have my size in stores for me to accurately try them on (they always look so huge on my feet!). However, I finally committed and am so happy I did! I typically wear size 6.5-7, I bought size 37 in narrow and they fit great. There's enough room in the front and back and I have the buckles on the smallest setting. They take a while to get used to walking in and I'm still breaking them in but I know they'll only get more comfortable in time. Definitely recommend!

This was the best service ever. The first pair didn't fit I ordered the correct size before I mailed them back without any problem.

I love these but it took me 3 tries to get the right size. I ended up 2 sizes down from my regular shoe size. Luckily they have free shipping.

I typically wear a Regular width in Birks but I needed a Narrow in this version. Zappos sent the Narrow overnight and I am sending back the Regular width. Thanks Zappos for making shopping so easy!

These are my favorite Birks. I have a couple of different styles and materials, but there is nothing like the original. Sizing can be tricky. I am a 7 wide and take a 36 regular in Birks.

Very comfortable and true to size. The shoes take some time to break in and the suede dye will rub off on your feet at first. After I broke in the sandals they became one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I highly recommend these sandals.

Have heard these are the most comfortable shoes to have, but still working on breaking mine in. So far so good.

Love these shoes. I bought these shoes for my teenage daughter in black last year so that she would have a comfortable everyday summer sandal. The black look great still, but she wanted them in brown this year. We finally wear the same size shoe and I love the extra support the sandal gives. Both of our pairs are the narrow, regular are just too wide looking and leave a little too much room.

Absolutely love Birkenstocks! I have a pair in leather but wanted to try out the suede and could not be more happy with my purchase. Love the color and comfort!

I have wanted these shoes for years, and never pulled the trigger to buy them. So happy I purchased from Zappos to get free shipping and the flat cost. Wearing my Birks as much as I knew I would, wish I would have ordered sooner.

Very stylish sandals. I've had Birkenstocks before. Can't go wrong. They are well built and extremely comfortable after a few weeks of wear.

I ordered these to replace old Birkenstock sandals, with the closest match. They are extremely easy, matched fit, very comfortable. I am wearing them inside on hardwood floors all the time.

These are absolutely incredible! Foot therapy. The contoured footbed is magic. This is my second pair. The first pair lasted nearly a decade with heavy use. I wear a size 12 US in most shoes which translates into M 10 or size 43 in Birks.

This is my third pair of Birkenstocks. I wear these around the house in cold weather and try to limit use outdoors when it's wet--moisture makes the cork bed deteriorate faster. But they're extremely comfortable when broken in, and light.

These shoes were beautiful, but unfortunately too big. I bought a US 6-6.5 (37) and I normally wear right in between these two sizes. They were definitely one size too big. Sad to need to return because I really do like the shoe!

This sandal is Narrow width which is fine for my daughter's foot. The medium width was out of stock. She loves these shoes and they look cute on her feet.

Here's the thing. I have been wearing Birkies since the 60's. If you buy the unisex styles, you get a fit for men or women, which is problematic since the arches and width are different. Also, these shoes were only sold in Birkenstock stores when the founder was alive, so the store owner was trained on how to adjust where the raised toe grips hit on your sole. Mine are always filed down.. So, if you have small narrow feet, this shoe may not fit you. Bigger and wide feet, yes.
I love them and have 7 pair, all but one from a B store so I could get the fit adjusted. They last years and years, and you can have them re-soled.

These sandals are so comfortable. I am a straight 8 and was advised to get a 39...however I did have to exchange for a 38. 38's fit perfectly. I think they run a tad big. Zappos is always excellent!

My daughter has very long, very narrow feet. She is quite happy with the fit. The adjustable straps allow her to wear them with socks (highly fashionable now, I'm told) and without. I appreciate the durability.

I have a wide foot and a high instep. So finding shoes that fit and support my arches has always been difficult for me. I am a 7.5 - 8 W. I take a 38 R (regular) in Birkenstocks.
I started wearing Birkenstock sandals over 20 years ago. I have 5 pairs in my closet at the moment!
These are my absolute favorite for comfort and support. I just put these on and right out of the box they are so comfortable!
I had one pair with the soft foot bed and I didn't care for it. I love the original foot bed. I have read that people who have never worn Birkenstocks before might have an easier time adjusting to the soft foot bed. But once you get used to the original, you won't go back.
Thank you Zappos for quick delivery -- as always! Super easy returns as well. Although I never have to retun my Birkies!
