Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

LOVE these- comfortable and cute. These are my spring/summer/fall go to.

The Arizona Leather Birks (size 44) were just exactly what I expected. I just wish they were not so expensive, but quality is rarely inexpensive. Since I lead with my heel when walking, in 6 months the cork is showing. A local cobbler used to half-resole my birks for $60.00 but would always warn against wearing them when the cork appeared in the heels. The present cobbler charges over $100.00 for a full new sole (and some cork repair). The German Birk-makers would do me a great favor if they would find a way to toughen the heel portion of the sole.

I haven't worn this classic sandal in many years, and they are just as comfortable as I remember. They look good with or without socks!

I usually buy wide softbed Arizonas. They seem great at first, but the leather gets soooo wide that they end up being sloppy and extra wide. LLBean is correct to label these as 'normal' width, because they are normal, even if listed as 'narrow' by Birkenstock. I have a normal to wide foot and like a spacious toebox, and these feel just terrific, snug right now, but I am sure they will be loose-ish later because the leather gives. I like the classic footbed as well and don't think I'll go with the soft footbed anymore. The classic feels nice. It's not squishy like the soft footbed, but I think after feeling classic that I don't really like squishy. These are solid and comfortable.

I am on my feet a lot at work and I wanted something that had a classic look while supporting my feet. These are very comfortable, and they leather looks stylish. I received a lot of compliments on these.

My husband's last pair of Birkenstocks last about 10 years. He bought the same pair from Bean and hopes it lasts another 10 years. He is very well satisfied!
