Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona - Birkibuc™ (Unisex)

Excellent value for a Birkenstock sandal. My daughter has narrower feet, but doesn't usually wear a Narrow size. She sent back the original ones and got the Narrow width and it was perfect for her. It's good with or without socks. Size was fine.

I have to say I am seriously disappointed ... I have been wearing Birkenstock Milanos (they look just like the Arizona, but with a backstrap) for 20 years without a problem. They always fit like a glove in size 39, narrow. Now I thought I could try the Arizona since the only difference seemed to be the backstrap and I loved the idea of being able to just slip into my sandals instead of having to fasten the backstrap first. Seemed like a slam n dunk for me. Boy was I wrong. I started with an order directly from Birkenstock.com, since they had a color not available on Zappos. They were super cute and came only in a narrow size (made for women only), and the first thing I noticed that that they were much more narrow than my Milanos. They also were too short. But I thought that maybe the problem was due to them being sized for women and that I should just get the unisex narrow as the Milanos are also unisex. No biggie, I thought and went back to Zappos because they have this awesome one day shipping (Birkenstock.com took a week), and ordered this pretty sandal in stone. I was so disappointed to find out that even though this sandal indeed is a little bit wider and longer than the previous one, it my toes would still slide forward too much and go over the front of the sandal while walking. I even tried on another version in leather and size 40 because maybe Arizonas run a little smaller than Milanos? But in those sandals which clearly were too big, my toes also went over the edge of the front. So, sadly I came to the conclusion that my feet just aren't made for the Arizonas and obviously I need a backstrap to secure the sandal in place? I have no clue why this is, but it is sad since I love Birkenstock's footbed (and always will) and would have liked to be able to wear their most popular sandal. So the only advice I can give here now - if you find that the Arizona doesn't fit you, try the Milano. Birkenstock's footbed is worth it.

There's nothing wrong with the shoe. I have Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot and I have yet to find a shoe or insert that really helps. This one didn't fill the bill either through no fault of it's own.

The size chart posted on the Birkenstocks is way off. I wear US woman's 9.5 - 10 and a 38 in the Birks.

These are my second pair of Birks after wearing out my first pair over the course of 2.5 years. By far my favorite summer/spring/sometimes all year round shoe. They're true to size for me but do take a few days of walking to break in and get that great Birkenstock comfort :)

These were my first pair and I am in love! The color, comfort, and fit. I usually wear a size 6 in sneakers, and sometimes 5 in heels so I decided to get size 5-5.5 and it fit perfect! I do have narrow feet also.

I love these sandals so much I even bought my husband a matching pair. I wear a size 6.5-7 in shoes so I can never really tell if a shoe will fit unless I try them on. I ordered the 37m at first going down a size smaller than what I normally wear and it was just a tad bit too big so I returned the 37m and got a 36m and they fit perfectly! I have been wearing them around the house and at work and just pretty much everywhere. They were hard at first but after wearing them for a week, they are sooooooo comfortable. Would love to buy another pair in black but unfortunately they do not have my size in stock. Hopefully Zappos will get some soon! The return process for the first pair was a breeze and the person I chatted with to do the exchange got my correct sized sandals to me the next day. You can't beat that at all!

I would recommend a size narrow for most girls. I also prefer the suede rather than the Birkibuc that is used on these shoes.

Great summer staple- my 17 yo son loves them.

I bought my last pair of Birkenstocks 5 years ago, and I'm still wearing them! These are worth every penny. They are extremely comfortable and last forever, not to mention they look adorable with every outfit!! I love mine!

I love these! They're one the best pairs of shoes I've owned. They are very comfortable and durable. I'm usually a 7 in women's, but I ordered a 6-6.5 and they fit better

Great but I didn't realize that if you are a woman you need to order the narrow width. I got the medium and no way could I wear them. I normally wear size 9.5 and got size 40. I am ordering more pair of these in other colors- I saw them on a free people model with khaki shorts and it looked so cute! They are trendy classic and comfortable all at the same time! If I was going to Coachella this year I would for sure throw them in my backpack!

My daughter loves these Birks! This is her third pair and these are her favorite. Zappos is always the best place to get shoes. Super fast shipping and customer service!

My son has excessive pronation , which causes his ankle to roll in. These shoes have enough support to seriously help this issue. On top of that, he loves them. He's 11 and has been wearing Birkenstocks for 8 years. They're expensive, but definitely worth it. This is the only sandal I will put him in.

Birkenstocks...You either love them or you hate them. My 33 year old feet love them! As a teacher, I am on my feet most of the day and behind the point where I can wear cheap shoes with thin soles and no arch support, my back aches when I try. Plantar fasciitis pain is very real each morning, but is instantly relieved when I slip into Birks. Birkenstocks give my feet the arch support I need for a pain free day. They do have a certain look, the Arizona has been called the "Jesus sandal." I say, Jesus was probably onto something if his feet were THIS comfortable. This is my fifth pair of Birkenstocks and the second pair of Arizona style. I typically wear size 11 in shoes as I have long toes and my left foot is bigger than the right. I choose the 41 regular and feel very comfortable. It was hard for me to decide between the Mocha and Stone color, but now that I have them on I LOVE the stone color. It's such a neutral color that it's more of a gray-brown. I feel like I can wear this color with black leggings, skirts, and jeans.

I usually wear a size 7 1/2 to 8 and I got these in a 38(euro size). Overall very cute and stylish. The grey color is a little more olive than I was expecting. Also, decent arch support. And a little wide for me

Zappos is so great to work with! The fast shipping makes this our go-to website to purchase all of our shoes! Specifically these sandals are true tondescription and size.

These Birks are much larger than normal we think because they are unisex. We have had to return two pairs and will order specifically the "narrow" version.

comfy, classic shoe. Runs big

Zappos was very accommodating! For me, the birks were larger than what I expected, so I had to ship back & order smaller size...about 1/2 size smaller than usual. They were very quick to get my replacement on the way. They are a very comfortable shoe once you get them broken in. I recommend wearing thick socks with them to get them broke in. Once you have that part done, you will be golden! Glad I made the purchase!!

Bought these for my teenage daughter. She loves them and is already wearing them this winter with her socks. Color and size were great. Shipping was fast and they came right on time for her birthday. Zappos had the exact size and color she wanted when other sites didn't.

Great and fast service as always! Love Zappos.

I wear these shoes all the time! They are so cute and go along with almost everything. I do get blisters when I wear them though and I have had them for over a year now. But I do not know of others that have this issue. Get shoes though. :)

I love these sandals so much. It took about a week of consistent wear to break them in but they've been my go to sandals ever since. Zappos' customer service was excellent as usual.
