Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona High Arch (Unisex)

I love these shoes. I wish the high arch came in more styles. I've worn out two pair of these sandals. I have a very high instep and arch, and these are so comfortable. I also ordered a narrow, even though I normally wear an M. It fits so much better than the regular width.

I have been wearing Birks for at least 25 years, and a while ago a discovered the high arch version of the Arizonas. Wow! I have high arches, and these shoes are so comfortable. I got my new pair a few weeks ago, and walking is just easy. I use these for hiking in the open space, as they provide support without constriction.

This shoe worked a miracle for me. I have struggled with plantar fasciitis for well over a year, have seen three doctors, and bought two different sets of orthotics. This shoe may have cured the condition. I bought a pair just before traveling to Italy on vacation, hoping the high arch would help my feet while I slowly made a transition to a new orthotic. I never bothered with the orthotic. I wore these sandals all day every day (also stretching my feet as my doctor recommended in the mornings), and I actually felt better after sightseeing all day for two weeks than before I went. I have worn them every day for the rest of the summer and most days now my feet don\'t hurt at all. Truly a miracle. I recommend them highly and just wish they came in more styles. Order a size narrow if your foot is a regular width, as they run very wide.

Nothing wears like a Birkenstock. You don't have to be from the granola eating crew to like what feels good on your feet. I only have 2 feet, like the rest of you, and I treat them to the best. The helped me cure Plantar Fasciitis.

These Birkenstocks are so soft. I wasn’t sure about the high arch at first, but they are working out fine. I do need to add an extra hole on the left shoe, but otherwise they are very comfortable.

I have high arches and plantar fasciitis. Everyone who praised this shoe for plantar fasciitis is right - it is phenomenal. Feels amazing when you put them on if you have been going barefoot or wearing some other shoe. I was pretty much living in my Asics Gel Cumulus shoes for about a year due to knee, ankle and foot pain from plantar fasciitis, but they didn\'t do anything for me compared to the Arizona High Arch. I also have the regular Florida sandal and the high arch is so much more supportive. They feel a little strange at first with the support right against the arch but now I just love the way they feel. I\'m so happy to be able to wear a sandal again in the summer! I ordered both the narrow and the regular; kept the narrow as the regular was much too wide. I wish these came in leather as the suede has stretched out a little already, but as others have stated I\'m planning on just putting another set of holes in to tighten up the buckles. Birkenstock, please make the high arch in more styles!

Ooh, I like these. I have never been able to wear Birkenstock shoes because the regular kind are too wide and flat. These Arizona shoes in narrow and high arch are perfect! They are very supportive. While they are not cushy soft, they don't pinch. I was a Mephisto Helen wearer for years until the company lowered the arch a couple of years ago, and I have been searching for the perfect sandal that will help me alleviate the onset of plantar fasciitis. If only Birkenstock would make these in more styles. I would buy every type! I wear a 7.8 to 8 and the 38 is a perfect fit.

I have plantar fasciitis, and the high arch of these sandals is very helpful for relieving the pain. I normally wear a regular width shoe, but as others have noted, these run wide. I bought the regular width and wore them in the house with socks all winter and thought they were great. But when the weather got warm and I took off the socks, they were far too wide. The narrow width fit me perfectly and I recommend them for anyone who normally buys regular width shoes. The narrower ones also look much less bulky when you are wearing them, and look better with skirts, etc., as a result. I love these shoes and only wish they came in more colors.

Go for it! I got these for my son! He is 13 and has flat feet, etc. He needed something the run into after school. He has not been in tears because of foot pain since he started wearing them. I was afraid that he would shun them but the comfort makes it all worth it! Happy!

Love this shoe!!! I have a very high arch and normally wear orthotics. These shoes give me excellent support and it is so nice to be able to wear a sandal and not have to wear the orthotic. I would like to see more of the Birkenstocks with the high arch footbed and I would like to see more variety in the color and also I would like to see this available in the smooth leather rather than the suede. I normally take a 6 1/2 wide in a closed shoe, but I got the 36 Regular in this and it was perfect.

My legs don't hurt anymore - I absolutely love these shoes...They hurt a little and had some small blisters till I broke them in. I have wide feet and these shoes cup around your feet, so that's the reason for the blisters...My legs don't hurt anymore since I have been wearing these shoes. Styles could be better and the shoe could become a little cheaper. The suede shoes are bigger because the straps are looser...I needed to put new holes in them. I have 10 prs...I really like them...

Birkenstock Arizona Evaluation - Very lovely shoe. It is comfortable and a very nice looking shoe.

Good work Zappos - Great product and service. My son usually wears an 11 which we ordered, but shoe is about a half size too big. But not a big deal.

Birkenstock - These shoes are awesome. They are really comfy and go with anything I wear. They are good for special occasions at my club. Zappos delivers in 24 hours it doesn't get any better than that.

Very comfy - I suffer with heel spurs & find the Arizona has a wonderful arch support...I have an older pair that I still wear. I now have a change which makes me comfortable all day…

Beautiful Birks - Best fitting shoe out there. I like the "extra" high arches, they feel heavenly!

It helps me walk without limping. I have no cartilage in my knee and continually walk in pain--unless I'm wearing my Arizona's. They put my foot in a position that doesn't irritate my already inflamed knee. I plan to get another pair when I have the money.

Usual Birkenstock--comfortable and high quality - This is my husband's second pair of this style. He wears them all the time--summer and winter--and loves them. He doesn't need any break-in time, unlike me, and I think he would wear them to church if I would let him.

Finally found a comfortable shoe! I bought these Birks for my boyfriend. He usually buys his shoes too big because he doesn't like to feel shoes on his feet. I bought the 11-11.5 and they fit beautifully and he loves the way they feel.

Flower children - My very first pair of Birkenstock sandals was purchased at a heath food store on a corner in Berkeley California in the mid-1970s. When I would venture east to visit family, people would stare at my feet, wondering why I was wearing such strange looking shoes. My answer was: "so that I can walk properly." Having worn them for 30 years is a pretty great endorsement for them. I recently ordered a pair in olive green - green is good for the planet. Peace, love & flowers, Ms. L.I.N.

An old favorite - I have two pairs of these (in different colors). Sliding my feet into the cool smooth foot beds of my older pair, perfectly conformed to my feet after 13 years of wear, is one of the sublime pleasures of summer. I'll have them re-soled soon. They're worth it.

A great little place to shop - Extremely fast delivery, shoes are the finest quality they look and feel great. This is a replacement for a pair exactly like these that I have proudly owned for 5 years! Thanks Zappos I looked everywhere for a pair like this!

Birkenstock Arizona - The shoe is especially comfortable but if the heel and the toe groove do not line up perfectly with your foot, it isn't too comfortable to spend hours standing in.

Loved 'Em - I've been wearing Birks since '88. I just recently had three pairs re-soled. I rarely wear anything else. Zappos is awesome. My order arrived VERY quickly. I am very happy.

Great Shoes - Have many styles of Birkenstocks, Love the Arizona's worked many years as a nurse and wore the white clogs. Saved my feet and straighten toes that were becoming shoved over due to the poor fit of regular pointed non user friendly shoes.
