Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

Not too happy with the width, or the sizing. Think I’ll have to return. Sadly. I wanted to love them.

I'm returning them. The color is brown. Like boring gross brown. Not this nice lighter brown/ tan color you see here. And probably because they're unisex the straps along the top look manly. Way thick and I'm awkward places. For men they're fine but not for women. Not in my opinion. They also arrived scratched up.

Love these sandals. I was new to birckenstock, and I didn't realize how high the arches are. It took a couple days to get used to, but now they're great. Love the color and fit!

These sandals have very slick soles. When they arrived, I put them on started down the stairs and took a tumble all the way down. Boxed them up and returned them.

My Tokyos and Milanos are very comfortable, so I expected to like the Arizonas. However, the buckles lay on top of the toe tendons and created instant pain, like they were poking nerves. I could not even sit for 5 minutes with them on. No amount of ajustment worked, so I had to return them.

I am a perfect size 9. I ordered the corresponding size, a 40. The were a full size too large. The regular width is extremely wide. They are definitely made for a man. I returned them and ordered a pair of Memphisto because I love the ones I bought a few months ago. Those are much more comfortable and cushy, plus they are true to size. They are worth the extra money!

This pair of Birks are huge and I've also noticed that the sandals are noticeably different in color not good will return for a refund and try another brand

Haven't had a new pair of Birkenstock in about 5 years and feel the quality has suffered some. The leather is thin and sharp edged. Felt like I was wearing a cork and cardboard sandal. Returning.

A word of caution. The stain on these sandals rubs off on your foot! I wore this same style of sandal when I was in high school - the same oiled leather Birkenstock - and never had this happen before. The top of my foot and toes are black! I have worn them for the last two hours, and this was the result. Although I love the sandal, I'm not sure what to do about this. A word on sizing, too: I typically wear between a 6.5 and 7 in women's shoes. I sized down to a 36 for these. They fit perfectly; I'm not sure you'd want a ton of extra room above the toe as it might affect where the toe ridge falls. Plus, it's been my experience that these sandals significantly stretch out over time. The footbed should fit your foot well and your foot should fill out the entire area without a ton of room to spare for it to support your foot right. I'm not sure if these sandals will make it to see that, though. I might be sending them back.

The shoe fit perfectly and was a beautiful color. However, my granddaughter wanted the darker, oiled leather shoe.

I had Birkenstocks years ago and had no issues with fit. These are not wide enough for my feet. I am sorry to have to return.

stiff & miserable footwear

The sandal’s I received were definitely used and the buckle was broken. You could see the sweaty foot print of whoever had the sandals before me and they had spilled something on the toe area. It was very gross and I returned them immediately.

I would avoid these. The cork on my split within a month of getting the sandals. A 20 dollar pair from target lasted me for three years….i guess ill go back to those.

I received this item without its original packaging. I think I like the style and I know Birkenstocks are comfortable. I'm not reading it high enough mostly because of the packaging

These looked a little beat up already when I opened them. But all in all they were good I just liked the all black pair better.

Too hard to break in

The shoes arrived in a generic box … not the one from Birkenstock. Who switched them out? The carrier or Zappos? The packaging wasn’t “frustration free” . It made me wonder what has happened to them. The pair before this that I ordered from Zappos arrived in a mangled box. What is happening that the shoe boxes are being damaged? I’ve worn this style shoes for years but I am a bit concerned about the history of a pair that arrives like my latest ones.

Disappointed! I ordered Tobacco Oiled Leather and I was sent Black. Wasn't the color I wanted so had to return.

Shoes came without a box. Returned them today

I liked these but something is wrong with the leather after the buckle. It does not lie flat. Ordering another pair. Hopefully it will arrive in time for vacatiton.
