Really love them but they are a bit wide. Women should probably get the narrow width. Only took a day or two to break in the leather.

Been wearing these sandals for many years. Let my last pair wear too thin to resole so finally opted for a new pair and they took no time to break and feel as comfortable as the old pair. Any shoe I wear has to have great arch support and these do. Love them!

This is my third pair of Brirks and I never regret paying a little more for them. I shopped at DSW for them, but they only sold the plastic version. Spring for the leather, they last longer and are much more comfortable. If taken care of, these can last you 10 years. The best sandal ever made.

I bought these for my dad after I was unable to find a different type of sandal he had over 20 years ago that wore out. My mom says that he almost never takes them off! He even wears them inside the house during the winter months because he says they are so comfortable. As with any Birkenstocks, he did have to break them in and got a blister initially after wearing them a full day on the first day despite my recommendations... oops! He normally wears a size 12-12½ in shoes and he wears a size 44 (what they say is 11-11½), so they do run a little big!

The shoe was very hard and uncomfortable and made my feet hurt when I put them on which surprised me because I had always heard that Birkenstocks were comfortable and good for plantar fascitis. They don't work for me.

I cannot speak highly enough of the Birkenstock brand as a whole! Never before have my feet felt so great after a day full of sandal-wearing.
These particular Birks are no exception. I have size 9.5, long and narrow feet with a high arch. I bought the size 40 Narrow and after about 3-4 weeks they fit very well! The corkbed bottom takes about 6-8 wears to form to your foot, but once it does the fit is to die for. The adjustable top straps are great, and give a very custom fit. I chose to adjust mine very tight to start, as past Birks have tended to stretch a bit. So far I'm glad to have done that!
As for this color, I would say it is a touch less lime-green than it appears on the screen. Not to say they are dark green at all, just a bit more muted. I've received many complements on them as the green isn't super common in most Birks!

Excellent product, my last Birkie finally was delegated to "beach shoe" status after being resoled twice and lasting ten years of heavy use.

Fantastic sandals! I had to get a smaller size because I felt they ran big. They were stiff at first but after working in my feet love them!

A great sandal. I've been wearing Arizona sandals for 25 years. The leather is high quality. The footbed contours to your foot in a short period of time.

Excellent once again! These are a little stiffer than some of the Birkenstock sandals I have purchased, but I am breaking them in by wearing for 2 hour periods and they are now starting to form to my feet.

Birkenstocks are my favorite shoes, hands down. I bought my first pair over 10 years ago, and still have them, but they have definitely seen better days, so I broke down and bought a new pair. These shoes are mega comfortable, and as close as I can get to feeling barefoot in shoes. They are extremely well made. I love the materials, the colors, the styles, the whole package. In my experience, these run large compared to most shoes, but once you know your size, you are set.

I have wide feet so it's a bit hard to find sandals that fit. The Birkenstock Arizona fits perfectly. The cork insole conforms to your feet over time and enhance the perfect fit. I love the color -- not too dark and a nice vintage look.

I love love these Birkenstocks! I have had a pair before and needed a new pair only because I lost my other ones (which were 12 yrs old and still great condition) Zappos was great to order from I purchased them late in the evening and they were at my house the next afternoon with free shipping. I couldn't be happier with the shoes or Zappos!

Usually for sandals I choose a size larger, absolutely not needed here. A little bit hard to break them in but once that is done they are very comfortable. Thanks!

These shoes were a replacement for a pair of the same style that I finally wore out. I've been wearing Birki sandals for years and find them so comfortable that I always have two pairs in my closet, one black and one tan, so I can wear them with anything (weather permitting).

These are exactly the inside sandals with arch support that I needed for winter. Zappos' delivery was timely.

100% satisfied. I have a pair of the Gizeh sandals and Basel clogs from Birkenstock and had to have one more pair for my collection. These are closer to the traditional Birks. I'm a huge fan of leather sandals and these are great: excellent quality and fit. They are not the most attractive sandal, but they are easy on the feet. If you've never worn Birks before and wear a half size, I'd recommend ordering down one size. Thanks again Zappos.

I've been in Birks for almost 20 years now, whenever it's not too cold or inappropriate to wear sandals you can expect to find me either barefoot or in their sandals. These in particular feel really sturdy. This style of leather straps are a bit tougher on your feet at first (the leather a bit more rigid than the suede), but like all Birkenstock sandals, once they're broken in they're super comfy.

Great sandal...like most of the Birkenstocks I have. These seem to run a little wider but are very comfortable. Zappos - a great way to do business!

I have always loved this particular sandal. When they wear out (it takes a long time), I order a new pair - or two!

The great quality that you have come to expect from the Birkenstock Arizona in a new Habana Oiled Leather style. The leather has a waxy oily feel and is quite stiff when new but in a couple of weeks of normal wear they soften up quite nicely! If you want a softer strap, get the Nubuck/suede or the traditional leather but I definitely would recommend the oiled leather as I have had the other 2 types of leather and prefer this finish. I use Mink Oil on the inside and the outside of the straps to keep the leather conditioned and warm water works well to wipe the dust off of the outside of the straps. I also have a pair of Birkenstock Milano in the Habana Oiled Leather and love the back strap when I need a more secure fit. You can't go wrong with the Birkenstock line of footwear.

I have worn Birkenstock Arizona sandals for many years and have found them extremely comfortable. Take care of them and they can be resoled and repaired any number of times by a good shoemaker. I especially like the oiled leather variety - no artificial components. Be careful you don't buy the narrow size unless that is what you want. I wear a size smaller with these sandals than with regular shoes. It is not a problem with manufacture but rather the way your foot fits onto the cork base. The sizing is absolutely consistent from one pair to the next. For me, Birkenstocks are the greatest sandals. I use them for everyday wear and as slippers around the house. It may take a few days for the cork to adjust to your foot but when that happens, the shoe will provide excellent support.

This is my first order from Zappos and I could not be more satisfied!
I have owned several pairs of Birkenstocks throughout the years and these are just as fantastic as the others I have purchased. Classic, quality, comfort, love!
