Customer Reviews Birkenstock Florida Soft Footbed - Birkibuc

Love Birkenstocks, but am picky and prefer the 3 straps over the 2. I was looking for the 3 strap design that was a little different and thicker and could not find those anywhere (Zappos or otherwise) so I tried the Florida and opted to try the soft footbed. All in all, they are great sandal. I don't notice a huge difference in the soft footbed and actually prefer the original (but this is a preference and not a concern or complaint). As for the Florida style .. I don't love it. I really want to see more options in the 3 strap variety (bring back the old one that had 3 wider straps across the top of the foot with only 2 straps coming off the sole).

I'm enjoying my Birkenstocks very much. First time with the soft footbed and not missing the break in period. Had a little trouble with the upper rubbing a blister on the side if my foot, but adjusting the strap solved that. Overall a great shoe.

Bought these to replace an older pair, same style. I actually preferred the old, harder footbed because it was easier to slide into and felt cooler. I measured the old and new soles against each other, and there seems to be an extra .5 cm by the toes along the outer edge. Strange.

Hi, my foot doctor recommended that I get Birkenstock for my Plantar Fasciitis problem. I choose the soft footbed-Birkibuc and I am so glad I did. I'm wearing them in the house and have been outside with them twice.They were very easy to adjust too and are very comfortable. I like that I can adjust the straps.

This is a very comfortable shoe with great arch support. I have plantar fasciitis & high arches, so I have to be choosy about the shoes I buy. These Birkenstocks fit the bill! I also like the recessed footbed. It helps keep my heel in a good position as I have a tendency to roll my foot out when I walk.

I have two other pairs of Birks and this is my first "soft foot bed" pair. I gotta say that these are taking quite a bit of breaking in...way more than the others did. I have some new blisters that I'm being a cry baby about. The arch feels so much higher than my other Birks too. Hopefully these will become as comfortable as the old ones in time.

Birkenstock needs to work on their styling. These were very unattractive and looked masculine.

Did not like the color of the item

The sandals felt very stiff and uncomfortable.

Size was OK. Was too narrow.

Leather is really stiff and feels as if it would take a long time to break in and soften. And the shoes ran big for me. There was also a speck of something hard on the inside edge of the footbed of one shoe that rubbed my foot. Had to return these.

fit was good, picture is not the same as the shoe that arrived, much lighter color

Color not as pictured. Too light.

These have not been as comfortable as expected. I bought them to walk in and they give me blisters. I always go back to my Keens.

Love the shoe, my bad that I didn’t read that the upper material was synthetic and not leather. The synthetic material seems really cheap and not very durable. My last pair I took through the ringer, I’m not sure the synthetic could take it. I’m returning for a pair with leather.

These were my first pair of Birkenstocks and the sole took some time to get used to. They held up for a long time, but I wouldn't buy again due to how rigid they felt and how bulky they looked on my foot.

I don't like the synthetic material instead of leather. I am returning these. I guess Birkenstocks aren't what they used to be.

I have a pair of Arizona (2-strap) Birkenstock that I absolutely love, so I bought these because I thought they were cute. Unfortunately, these gave me blisters at the bottom on the space between the first two straps (the one by the toes and the middle one). They hurt so much I could barely walk, so sadly I have to return the shoes. I'm not sure why this happened, since I never had any pain with the Arizona model, but the Florida model doesn't seem to work for me,

I can't say word's good enough to let people know that BIRKENSTOCKS are the most AMAZING, COMFORTABLE, AWESOME SHOES. IN The early 70's was when I had my first pair of BIRKENSTOCKS. I grew up in Hermosa Beach and ALL my friend's had BIRKENSTOCKS . My sister got a couple pairs and my 75 year old grandmother also got a pair. I haven't been able to get a pair yet, but as of now I want at least 2 pair. Today I would say the Exact same words I said in the 70's. "When you go to the beach and you are standing in the sand, that is exactly how your feet sit in Birkenstock sandals."

As usual, the softbed might be the most comfortable shoe I know of. But... The Birkibuc isn't as comfortable. It just doesn't give like leather. Pay the difference and get the leather for absolute comfort.

I bought these shoes because I have plantar fasciitis and I wanted to know if the shoes would help. Well, unfortunately, the shoes did not help. Arch support is moderate, but the heel cup is painful for my condition. I love the color!

It was perfect, until the first strap gave me a blister on each foot. Sigh. I had to return them.

I thought the upper straps were cheaply made and started to Frey. I ended up returning them to get the leather pair.

I have bought Birkenstock shoes for over twenty shoes. This is the first pair that I haven't met my expectations. The soles are very rough against the bottoms of my feet. It feels like sandpaper rubbing against them. They are very uncomfortable and I wish I had returned them.
