Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

I have a low arch but not a naturally flat foot. I did not expect these shoes to leave my arches so blistered. From the moment I first put these on they hurt! I followed the fit videos on the Birkenstock website. I even measured to make sure I was doing it right. I read that they have a “break in” period so I kept wearing them a little at a time to break in the cork soles. While the cork did break in, the blisters on the side of my inner arches comes back every time I wear them. I wish I had not trusted the “break in” period because now it is too late to return them as they are used. I wish the fit would have worked because I think they’re versatile shoes otherwise.

The fit was right BUT the sandal activated the bunions on my feet. Sadly, my feet hated these sandals and had to be returned.

To stiff and not comfrotable

The straps on left shoe were stretched out/worn. Very odd. Had to return.

I just got these and either the color has changed or I got a different color. I have another pair of the tobacco brown in a different style but these are much lighter. I usually wear a 8.5 in most shoes but wear a 38R in birks. I don’t have wide feet but I prefer the regular footbed. Also, the ones I received were in a generic box and obviously worn. I love Zappos and this is the first time I am disappointed.

you repeatedly send the wrong shoe

fake item. no box

wrong shoe

I had to return these as they were way too large.

Way too wide!!!

These things are huge! I ordered a size smaller than my fit and they were about 2 inches long. I reordered down a full size and again they were way too long. I feel bad returning things so I'm getting a refund. I'm a men's size 8.5-9, I'm guessing a 6 Birkenstock might fit?

I wore them for 2 years. The heel wore a huge hole in the middle on one of them. I thought they would last longer than 2 years!

Ok came is a generic box looked like they were tried on the and not returned to “unused condition” the leather was scratched up as well. I do know that this can and will happen with daily use. But this was not the case. I have sent 2 pairs back and have yet to receive my refund. Even when I paid out of pocket for priority mail. Since I am stationed overseas this is the only guaranteed way to send it back to you without it walking off at the post office

Came in a brown box. The leather was scratched and they looked used. Sent them back

Really uncomfortable and hard leather on skin.

Way uglier and way more uncomfortable than expected. Don’t do it!

I wrote a review recently saying I had ordered a 38 US 7-7-5 first what I found very unusual for me I just didn't see it wasn't a soft bed sandal or wouldn't have ordered them to be fair I have a problem with my feet especially right foot so can't wear a hard footbed so my mistake then I read a very helpful review about Unisex sizing so since I said too wide and long I thought maybe I made a mistake and ordered wide so checked the box and was sent my size US 7 but a European size 37 which is not listed as a choice but I guess they have them but doesn't change the fact they were too long and wide so that review I read who said Unisex being men's sizes too made a difference to her but confused me when got my size a 7 were still too long and wide so Unisex sizing may not be relevant to many but was for me too I like to read reviews they can be very helpful with this sandal what learned was most love them to be fair not Zappo's fault that some of us have problems with our feet and/or sizing still on Zappo's looking for flats not loafers, sandals, or mesh I finally figured out from many I tried and returned I need a more structured shoe that's what is best for me

Extremely uncomfortable leather; for the $150 price point, I was expecting soft and supple leather. Ugly and uncomfortable.

Wrong color was sent. Had to return the

Not oiled rubber bronze. If your expecting the color it says in description it will fail you.

These shoes were returned because they were defective

I wear a size 47 narrow in birkenstock sandals. However, I cannot find that size anywhere, so I ordered the largest size you sell to see if I could get by with them. They were too small, so I had to send them back. Please tell me where I can go to get a size 47 Narrow. Thank you

These sandals hurt my feet - I mean, they really, really hurt to the point that I could not walk in them. I wore them inside the house for a couple of weeks in hope they would soften up, but the pain got worse - I assume they cannot be returned because straps were adjusted several times, marking the leather. Please don't advertise these as comfort shoes! Very disappointed! Hard ridges in soles would not give at all!

Bought a pair of the oiled tobacco as a gift and loved them so much I ordered a pair for myself. They arrived promptly, but were an entirely different color than the first pair! They were lighter, had no oiling, and looked almost grey. I returned them. I’ll probably still buy a pair, but I want to lay eyes on them first to see what I’m getting.
