I was really disappointed with these shoes. I have several similar pairs I've owned for years. Eventually the heels do wear down & I need new ones. In the past few years, all the Birkenstocks I've purchased, I've returned. The soles are too slippery and the edges too sharp. The quality that used to be there has gone. On line, this pair looked better, so I gave them a try. Nope, the old, well-crafted Birkenstocks are a thing of the past. Disappointing.

Horrible. These arrived in a plain cardboard box not the branded blue Birkenstock box. Furthermore, there were imprints of someones foot and toes on the footbed of both sandals. They were also delivered by Amazon, not the regular Zappos box. Disgusting.

I ordered these in size 43, the same size I have ordered twice before for Birkenstock Sandler. The precious two pairs fit perfectly. I still wear them, although they are very worn out. I was hoping this pair would fit, but it did not. They are marked size 43, but are easily two sizes too big and unwearable. I have sent them back for a refund. I will look in a brick and mortar store when I have time so I can try them on before I buy them.

I own several pairs of Birks and never had this happen before. This pair (Tobacco oiled leather, regular footbed Arizonas) REEKS OF CHEMICALS! It is not a leather smell, it is a toxic chemical smell. I thought maybe it was a tanning ingredient, but it did not dissipate even after airing out a few days. They don't look fake, but who knows. They definitely smell fake. They are also a much lighter color than the photo - not brown at all but a pale tan.
A real disappointment.

This shoe was suppose to be oiled leather, but felt and looked like birko-flor synthetic material. Disappointed in the look and feel.

The soles are such poor quality that after only 3 months I had to get them replaced.

The soles of every pair of Birkenstocks that I buy from Zappos wears out within 5 months. CHEAP materials!!! Go to Birkenstock directly to buy your shoes there.

The leather on this shoe was scuffed all over and looked like a cheap knock-off. They were returned.

I ordered a leather shoe. What I received was of man-made material. Often the BirkoFlor sandals are being shipped out as leather. So disappointed.

I was sent a clearly used pair of birks. Lots of distressing and marring on both shoes. Perhaps they have been resoled and then sold again as a "new" pair to me. Not impressed, I will definitely not be ordering from Zappos ever again!

I had been wearing the soft bed birks and can't believe how much better and more supportive these feel. I've barely taken them off! They felt a little stiff on day one but as soon as the leather softened up a bit form wearing, they were ready for all day use.

I've had back issues so am going for zero drop shoes lately. I like Altra and flux footwear.

Bought these for my son for Christmas. Birkenstock Arizonas are a classic - comfortable and in style.

These are a Christmas gift for my husband. He decided on our beach vacation this year that he needed better sandals. Started with the Birk EVA's and I'm moving him up to these. Can't go wrong with Birkenstocks!

No telling how many pairs of Birks I have owned over the years. Somehow, they are trendy again, but I wore them just fine when they were not. It's hard to find more perfect footwear. I have walked 30,000 step days in them without a hithc.

I like my sandals to conform to my feet and be secure. These are great open heel sandals as they do not slip or come off.
I wear these as house slippers, keeping the floors clean of the outdoor debris. They are worn with and without socks without any issues or trouble.
My only word of advice is that if you like your sandals to be snug, get the narrow size. I am a normal width, but the standard width in these sandals is too loose for my comfort. I can't get them tight enough. The narrow is perfect. It's not too big and allows for a secure fit.

I thought the ones I ordered were Soft bed but they were not. I will have to reorder the correct insole. Had to return. Otherwise they were good choice.

I love Birkenstocks! These don't even need a 'breaking-in" period--they were right from the start.
