Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

I am typically a size 7 and went with the 37's after reading some of the reviews that these run about a half a size big. They fit my feet perfectly! Once these bad boys are broken in, I don't suspect I'll wear anything else.

I love my new Birkenstock sandals and Zappos' customer service. Initially I was sent a pair of mocha brown sandals in a box that said Tobacco on the label. Called the customer service to let them know that they shipped me a box with the wrong sandals inside and they sent me a new pair overnight. They also arranged for the UPS to pick up the box with the wrong sandals from my house, which made the entire process very convenient and stress free. Their initial oversight turned to be a benefit because I found out that the regular size was too wide and asked them to send me the replacement in narrow: perfect! I usually wear an 8 medium but in these pair I had to get an 8 narrow. The quality of the leather is excellent and the tobacco brown simply beautiful. I love that the color is uneven which gives it a natural look. If you don't like the slightly natural, somewhat worn look, don't buy these sandals. I read that some people thought they were scratched or looked worn. They are not but the variations in the dyed leather may not be for every taste. However, I personally find them very stylish and comfortable and highly recommend them.

Classic style and last forever if you take care of them. Rubbed leather is a great look and different than the ones everyone else has. Would highly recommend

Excellent

Returning because the unisex sizes didn’t work for me but I did love the color in both of them; Habana and Tabaco colors. Impeccable shipping as well as customer service.

I’m usually a 38 in European sizes and the 38 in the plastic version of these shoes fits perfectly. Alas, I’m apparently a 37 in the leather version so I had to exchange them. Can’t wait for the correct size to arrive though.

Husband lives in all summer. What’s better than birks?!

Obsessed. Never go wrong with these. I love this color especially.

Pleasantly surprised to find i liked these. I have purchased these before but didn't keep them because they looked big on my feet. Trick was to get a narrow width in this model. Women's specific don't see to run that way but it really helped with the Arizona. They fit better and didn't look so clunky. I generally wear a size 9 in 90% of shoes i buy so i purchased a 40 and they were perfect. Good support (plantar fasciitis feet), which was what i needed in a sandal.

Still on the fence about the fit. The straps are a tad long when I adjust them, but those can be trimmed by my shoe repair store.

These shoes are very nice looking, fit great for wide feet, and arrived quickly. The bottom of the foot is very hard, which I hope to adjust to in time.

Very comfortable sandal. Feels “broken in” without the pain of breaking in! I usually wear a shoe size 8.5 or 9, I got the size 39 and they fit perfectly! I’ve had a pair of Birkenstocks (in a different style) for 5 years that are still in great shape... I just had to have more. They are durable, comfortable, stylish and definitely worth the price tag. Would recommend to anyone!

I wear a size 11 in regular shoes so I size down in Birks with the medium width & they fit perfectly.

Leather is softer.

I have been wearing Birkenstock Arizona for years. I actually prefer the original footbed to the soft footbed as I feel like I get better support from the original. I try to stray from time-to-time just because I get bored wearing the same sandals all the time, but I always come back to the Arizona! If you have foot problems and need awesome support in a sandal, don't look any further. Highly recommend!

I really like this Sandal but my feet have bad bunions so my left foot my big toe goes to the left so with the foot print I. The bed of the sandal hits my left big to wrong other then that I like the sandals wish they had a little higher arch .

Great sandals.

love, love, love the Birkenstock Arizona!! And, as usual, Zappos service is unparalleled.

I wear a men’s 11.5 US, and these 44’s are just a shade small. I’m keeping them, as I know they’re going to wear in, but I might have been happier with the next size up.

The oiled tobacco birkis are the perfect color. They look great with my pale northwest skin tone. Lol. The narrow was a good choice for me, as I normally wear a regular in women’s. Glad I followed the advice of other reviewers.

This is my second pair and this time I also purchased the cork care kit. I was unaware it was needed with the first pair. I live in these sandals from the second it's warm enough in the spring until well past time to put on regular shoes in the fall so they're exposed to all kinds of weather. The cork dried out and fell apart. TOTALLY my fault. With the care kit, that won't happen this time. I ordered a size 38 regular which fit my wide feet perfectly. I can't say enough good about them.

I bought these for my daughter and she loves them! She usually wears a 10.5- 11 in womens shoes and the 41 just did fit, her heal didn't hang over the back which was what was most important. They will take some time to "break in", but they are very comfortable and stylish shoes that she wears with any and every thing!

True to size, nice arch support. Always a great product.

Great Birkie!

I wear a 8.5 women's shoe and the size 39 Narrow fit perfect. I don't have a narrow foot and haven't bought any other shoes that are narrow. I did go with the narrow width on these, based on reading the reviews. The top buckle has one hole showing and the lower buckle has two holes showing, so I have the ability to tighten them up, if they stretch. I wear them with and without socks. They are a classic that look good with pants and shorts. Zappos service was stellar, as always.
