Customer Reviews Birkenstock Granada Soft Footbed

I love Birkenstock's but these ran too large for me. I think they were cute but not for me.

I wear an 8N & this style is a good fit. Plus my feet r old & I've had a painful arch. These sandals alleviate that pain. Only complaint...the straps look like a dull rubber tire. I still have this style n gray...at least 5 yrs old...& the leather is much prettier.

The fit on these was really good. I wear a true 9 and these felt like a true 9. The soft bed wasn't as soft as I thought it might be but it's pretty good. Overall very comfortable and looking forward to breaking them in for the worn look and feel.

The size and fit is ok. I’ve had other birks that were more comfortable right out of the box. Maybe this one will get better over time. The color is lighter than I thought it would be from the picture. I don’t care for the lighter color, but will make do with it.

Didn’t work for my extremely narrow & boney feet. Would have needed to put additional hole or two in the straps over my arches & I didn’t believe they would be sitting at a comfortable place for me. For people without such boney feet they could be wonderful. They were beautiful & the leather was gorgeous!

These are a little bit smaller than my other Birkenstocks but I also got the narrow version. They will get to be comfortable it will take some breaking in.

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I haven't worn them enough yet to have broken in the leather but so far so good. Very comfortable and cute style! I like that the buckles adjust to play with the width as I have narrow feet and this is very helpful. Would recommend these sandals!

I have problems with my feet swelling and with shoes that straps comes right over my arch. These sandals were tight. I debated on doing this, but since the shoes fit wonderfully other than this strap which cut into the top of my foot, I added another hole, and that took care of the problem. So glad I took the chance, as I know the leather will soften with time, and so will my feet.

I have very narrow feet. These shoes fit- mostly. I have each strap on the last hole- which means as they stretch they will only get looser and I won't be able to adjust tighter. Not happy with Birkenstocks for many years now but I still try. I have a pair that is over 20 years old and they feel like ahhhh when I put my foot in them. I would love for them to just make them like they used to and give the options of the past- like extra arch support and narrow sizes in more styles.

These shoes are super cute & comfy (of course), but they felt pretty loose across the top of my foot even after I adjusted the straps. I've ordered the narrow to try before I decide whether or not to send these back.

I usually wear an 8.5 (39) and had to return for a size 40 (9-9.5) because my toes hit the rim on the side. They are super comfy and I love the style. They do leave black dye on my feet, but I hope this will stop after some wear.

I ordered a size 8 because of the recommendations of the website. I normally wear a 7 1/2 wide or a size 8 if wide isn't available but these shoes were almost an inch too long. I have returned them and ordered a 7- 7 1/2 and hope it will fit.

I have a fat, short foot and these were a hair too long. My Gizeh Birkentstocks in same size fit much better.

I bought these in 37N (oiled leather) and picked them because I thought they looked a bit fancier than the more popular models. I wanted something I could wear to the park with the kids and could handle a lot of walking but also something that could be worn with a cute outfit. I debated for a while about N vs R and decided to go with the N since I have a narrow to regular width. Unfortunately, they were much too narrow and my foot was creeping up the sides of the shoes but the size itself was perfect (I’m a usual 6.5). I ended up exchanging them for Mayari 37N (birko-flor). I’m very happy with my exchange and the Mayari still look cute enough to pair with a sundress.

I normally wear a 6 but ordered a 5/5.5 the length was fine but they run wide will order a narrow.

The straps were too loose and needed one more hole punched in them so that I could tighten them sufficiently--my feet wobbled in the sandals as I walked.

Classic Birkenstock style but more feminine because of slashed leather straps. The innersole, size 37 European is comfortable. Only problem is the buckle on the left digs into my foot. I think that will resolve as I break in the sandals.

I wore this pair of shoes pretty much the whole summer. The only thing that bothers me is how the footbed turns brown after wearing a lot. They would be good for wide feet too, plenty of room to adjust.

I have painful plantar fasciitis and Birkenstocks are the only shoes I’ve found that don’t hurt my feet and don’t exacerbate the plantar fasciitis. I have one pair of soft footbeds and I love them... The color of the black leather Granada is attractive. It’s a dusty very dark gray/black color which looks nice against the tan suede footbed and the cork. The cut-outs on the straps are attractive - I think they make these sandals look dressier than many other styles (as if Birkenstocks can ever look dressy!). Unfortunately the Granada style didn’t fit me well enough and the leather is very stiff. When the toe straps were tightened, the leather rubbed against the bottom of my big toe. However, I have difficult-to-fit, very flat, low volume feet. Even in a narrow in this style, the top strap was a little too long. I was afraid that when the leather stretched out, I wouldn’t be able to keep the shoes on. (By the way, it doesn’t work well to punch additional holes in the straps on most of the Birkenstock styles because the straps don’t come straight over the feet - they angle. So additional holes in the center of the straps prevent the straps from lying flat on the feet. Instead when they are buckled, the straps buckle oddly.) I sent the Granada’s back. These may work well for those who are patient enough to wear these with some discomfort until the leather is broken in and it softens, and/or those who have a higher volume foot.

I have been wearing Birkenstocks for years. I am finding more lately that my feet enjoy the soft footbed more. The only disappointment I have with this pair is the color is darker than pictured. Also, I had the Granada in Tobacco a few years ago and the color was lighter than this pair. It wasn't enough to send them back but would have preferred the lighter color.

I wanted to love these. Now I wish I could return them. They're not as cute as I hoped and the straps hit the bones on top of my feet in a weird place, so they're also not very comfortable.

The Birkenstock Granada Soft Bed sandals are beautiful and comfortable! I absolutely love them!!!

These aren’t as comfortable as some of the other styles

These aren’t as comfortable as other Birkenstocks I’ve purchased. If you can get past the “ break in phase” they become more comfortable.

Bought these for a change since I usually purchase the Arizonas... sadly, will be returning. The sandals are too cute, but I felt like they made my feet look HUGE!! They felt like they would hold up just as well as any of my other Birkenstocks, wanted to add that because of another review I had read Needless to say, I contacted Cody through Zappos chat and within a few minutes, an exchange was made for the same size & color except I will be getting Arizonas instead! Thanks Zappos for having the best customer service... always a pleasure!!
