Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

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

I would buy these again, but 1 size smaller.

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!

take some breaking in but now fit like a baseball mitt. easy on & off. perfect for dog walks and walking to yoga.

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.

I bought the oiled leather Arizona in 44 Narrow for my husband. He does not normally wear a narrow in other shoes, but his feet are definitely on the narrow side of average. Because birks tend to run wide, the narrow fit him perfectly. I used the size conversion chart on Zappos to figure out the size and that was perfect. I had thought I'd have to drag him to a store to try on but he procrastinated long enough that I gave up and just ordered them. I'm glad I did. I did get him the real leather ones rather than Birkibuk because he prefers the type he's always had (this is his third pair). My daughter has Arizona in birkibuk and she loves those too. I think for her it's nice to have that material since she's more likely to get them dirty/wet.

The most comfortable sandal on earth! I bought theses for my daughter after wearing Birks all my life. She loves them.

Surprised at how many say these are true to size. Birkenstocks ALWAYS run a size bigger and these are no exception. We thought maybe something had changed since so many were saying these run true to size. So we thought we’d trust it and ordered my daughter’s usual shoe size. Nope. A full size too big. Should have known. Thankfully, Zappos is so great at quickly sending out a smaller pair before I had even gotten the larger size in the mail to return. The size down fit her perfectly, just like mine in another style do, also a size down. If you don’t know who’s review to trust, order both sizes since sending back to ones that don’t fit is so easy with Zappos!

I forgot how great these shoes are. I wore them many years ago and have just now returned to them. I am excited that they are crafted just the same as always with high quality materials. The price has not even changed in all these years. They give me support that goes from the foot up the legs into your hips and all. Everything is connected and my aches and pains are less because of the amazing shoes. So happy these are still around and in so many styles and colors. Best shoes in the world.

First pair of birks and it won't be my last! Suffer from heel pain and plantar faciatis and decided a pair of birkenstocks would be cheaper than a trip to the podiatrist - and I was right! Unbelivable comfort and support. Worth every penny - can't believe I waited so long to get them. I wear a women's 9.5M and ordered a 40 narrow and the fit is perfect. Looking on the Zappos sight now for my next pair!

This Birkenstock sandal was comfortable right out of the box. My daughter is a size 8.5-9 M depending on brand and the 39 fit perfectly. She didn't have any areas on her foot where they rubbed or caused any irritation from day one. She ordered the "tobacco" color and it literally goes/matches with EVERYTHING!

This is my first pair of birkenstocks. I’ve noticed I can’t wear cute non confortable shoes now for long periods as I pay for it later. These are comfortable and stylish. I usually wear a 7 to 7.5 and size 37 narrow fits me perfect. They aren’t “too narrow” and actually feel like regular width. Definitely recommend!

embracing my inner hippy. need som breaking in, but very supportive

Super cute and comfy. Allow for break in period and be careful to not get them dirty or wet.

I made fun of this footwear when i was young... called them slabs of roast beef. Now, I love them!

Love Birkenstocks. Wear them almost every day around the house and out and about.

This is my second pair of this style. The first pair have lasted over 25 years but won't last much longer. I purposely got the regular footbed. The soft footbed is great on my other pairs that I needed to wear immediately but the regular feels soooooo good after the initial break-in period. It does take time but is so worth it. My last pair were suede so the leather is taking a little while to adjust to but I don't see much difficulty. I did order a narrow and my previous pair were medium width. I think I like the medium for comfort but the narrows fit my feet better and I can keep them on easier. I know these are expensive but they are worth every penny1

Love these Sandles!

The Arizona is my third pair of Birks. I have previously worn the Mayari but had a bad experience so I thought it was time to change. Like the preceding pairs the footbed molds to your foot. These do feel a tad bigger than my previous pairs especially in width. I love the color of these since I was replacing a cream color they play well with deep colors and lighter ones.

I like these better than my Birks that have the synthetic uppers. Same comfort as those but I just prefer the leather upper as opposed to synthetic.

Awesome shoe! I love the classic design and how it molds to my feet. These are super comfortable and my go to.

So first let me say, this is my first pair of authentic Birkenstock sandals. I LOVE THEM!!! I've ordered "like" items from Steve Madden and Land's End, but decided to go with the "real thing" since I've been diagnosed with a severe case of Plantar Fasciitis (and heel spur) in my one foot. After numerous months of stretching, icing, cortisone shots, special socks to stretch my foot/leg muscles while sleeping, and OTC insoles, I could not find a pair of sandals (let alone shoes) that didn't cause my arch and heel to ache.....I decided to try these sandals. Although they are still a bit stiff, my feet feel pretty darn good while wearing them....I'm assuming that will continue to improve with wearing them and breaking them in. I usually wear an 8.5 M in ladies shoes, however after researching reviews, I ordered a size down and got the narrow since these are unisex....the 38N was perfect. Although they are expensive, they are definitely worth it, and "like" items just DO NOT have the same sole and support for heels/arches. I ordered the shoes late Saturday evening and I had them by Monday evening. I did not pay for expedited shipping, just free shipping (3-5 business days), and still had them in basically 1 business day. I'll definitely order from Zappos again!

Having worn Birks for more years than I would like to admit, they are made well and provide comfort and support as I would expect of a good quality shoe or sandal.

My daughter loved them. Very cute. Loved the oiled leather look. She only wears these now. May need a second pair. :) Runs Small. She is normally a 7-7.5 & I went with the 6-6.5 size and they were perfect!

These are great!!! I love them. I bought a size smaller and I definitely recommend getting narrow they fit perfectly!!
