These are my go to comfort sandals. I have had several pairs of Arizona sandals over the years and I just love them. Fit my wide toe box foot like a dream. Super supportive and this is a great neutral color. Get a pair, you won't be sorry.

I purchased a pair of 38N Arizona sandals and they fit just right! These sandals are SUPER comfortable and supportive - be warned, if you’ve never worn them before it takes a few weeks for your feet to get used to them. Once they break in, you’ll never want to wear any other sandals! Buckles make them easy to adjust. 4 Stars for style because the oiled leather does scuff easily.

I ordered a narrow since some of the reviews said the regular was too wide, but I feel like I could've gone either way. They are a bit stiff still after wearing for two days, hopefully they will break nicely.

After not wearing Birks since college 20 years ago, I just started wearing them again. My first purchase (from Zappos) was a pair of Arizona soft footbed in Tobacco Oiled leather. I LOVED them, but after wearing them for over 6 months the leather straps starting breaking away from cork. Of course Zappos with their amazing service said I could send them back for an exchange or refund. I really think I must have had a "faulty" pair. At the time I ordered a replacement pair they only had regular footbed available so I thought I would try those. So here's the deal on soft footbed vs. regular. Initially, the soft footbed is more comfortable and easier to break-in. However, long-term, if you plan on wearing your Birks often and long-term, the regular footbed actually molds to your foot better.

Perfect fit, exactly what I was looking for to prolong an older pair of Birks, I prefer the original footbed, thank you!

This is the second pair I've bought for my teenage son. The first ones he thoroughly wore out and outgrew. Good support for his feet. I recommend these often for my patients and my kids.

Because I was replacing my 28-year-old Birkenstock Arizonas that had served me unfailingly through all of the abuse I had given them, I knew my ideal Birkenstock shoe size -- 37, which is in stark contradiction to my ever-true European shoe size -- 39. Almost all the shoes I own are European-made shoes, and more exclusively, German-made. In no other shoe do I wear anything other than a 39. Keep this in mind when ordering these shoes. I also recommend visiting the Birkenstock site to understand proper fit. There should be only a smidge of space in the front and no space at all in the back, with the heel seated deeply and snugly in the footbed. You will immediately sense the therapeutic value of a perfect fit.

I’ve had this before, different leather look this time. Consistent brand and style. My favorite footwear outside of the office.

I always wear a men's size 11 but went with a 10 based on reading other reviews. The 10 fits perfectly just like an 11 should. Order a size down from your usual size.

I ordered the oiled leather in the tobacco color and I LOVE them! I have several pair of Birks in different styles and I always go back to the original Arizona. I have very high arches and Birks are the most comfortable shoes I own. The size is perfect. I wear a 6 1/2 - 7 and I ordered a 37. They form to your foot well. It takes a while to break in the leather as opposed the synthetic material. The leather starts off hard but wearing them softens them. But I really like the oiled leather because the straps don't droop down when you take them off, they stay right where they are.

Bought these as a birthday gift for my dad to replace his old pair. They fit TTS (he wears a men's 8.5, average width). No break-in time, he regularly wears them out and about in the summer and around the house.

I read that narrow = regular and regular really = wide, so I originally bought a narrow and was so sad when I had to return them and wait for regulars to be in stock again. I have regular-width feet and definitely found the narrow size to be too narrow. I'm so happy with these shoes; I wear them everywhere.

Like any good pair of birks, they take a week or so to break in, but once they fit your feet, they are good for the next decade!

My husband likes his new Birkenstocks. The quality is good and he finds this pair true to his size of 13 Narrow. He has had several pairs of this style Birkenstock the last few years and he finds this pair just as good and comfortable as all the other pairs. Thank you, Zappos for such good and speedy next-day service! We're long-time loyal Zappos customers! Victoria

They're Birks! Enough said for Birk lovers ... but in case you haven't tried them here's more. New Birks take me a couple of days to break in ... my feet need that time to work the toe grip. I find the Arizona a really versatile style ... good for casual warm weather wear and good with ragg wool socks and loosened buckles for winter wear. We have quite a bit of winter snow so I frequently have Birks and socks in my tote bag ... great for when the boots come off. This pair is Arizona oiled leather regular footbed ... sturdy construction ... I've loved my various Birks for close to 40 years ... big fan!

These run true to size and I love the color. Shipping was extremely fast...sandals arrived two days after ordering them! I've never received an order that quickly. I wish the soft bed version was in stock though.These are still very comfortable but I find the soft bed version slightly more comfortable.
