Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

This is the first pair of soft footbed Birkenstocks I have ever owned and I was amazed how comfortable they were straight out of the box. Made the breaking in process a breeze!

Awesome...although expensive, worth it. Can stay on my feet all day and not be in pain. Have a bad knee and nearly no arch. Great sandals! I guess the only 'con' might be the style, they aren't the most attractive shoes in the world, but I am at the point where I will choose comfort over looks! I also have very wide feet, so I would think for someone with regular width feet and women's size 8, they may feel too big.

This shoe is a great for wearing all day. I don't like to break-in the foot bed of Birkies, so when this soft bed came along I was like, Yay! I have a pair in black and ordered this pair in nubuck. I wear them everywhere. They are nice with summer Capri pants and jeans. I love these shoes. The first time I wore them it was like I'd had them for years.

Though these sandals have a pretty steep price it is well worth it to me. I absolutely love my Arizonas and will not ever wear another shoe. This was my first soft-bed purchase. These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. And as always Zappos' speedy service keeps me coming back. They even ship quickly to my little unknown town n New Hampshire. Zappos is the best!

This is my first pair of Birkenstock sandals and it will not be my last! Another shoe that fits over my high instep! I have always had problems with straps over the top of my foot, not with these. In fact I had to tighten them! They are so comfortable. I wish I had had these a few weeks ago when the temperatures in our area were unbearably hot! I thought they were pricey but a friend has had hers for years so I feel I will be getting my money's worth.

I bought these sandals because I had read in several reviews that people with plantar fasciitis could wear them without pain. Every person is different when it comes to PF, and for me, these shoes did not alleviate the pain. Otherwise they were a great purchase -- looked great, felt comfortable (aside from my PF), and the color went with anything casual.

These sandals are the greatest classic of all times. With the soft soles and pliable leather they are a must have.

I have worn Birk Arizona's for years and have loved every minute of them! During the past couple of years I've developed multiple foot problems (arthritis, plantar fasciitis, etc.) and these Birks with soft footbed are like heaven to my feet! I still have foot pain but not as bad as with other shoes. Still love the color and the style and now have a softer footbed to add to the reason I like Arizona's.

I love these shoes. The fit is wonderful, the comfort level is through the roof, overall perfect shoe for summer.

Birkenstocks are comfy shows, that's for sure. The soft footbed does have a softer feel, what those in the carpet industry call a soft hand, but they still offer the same solid support and firmness that Birkies always have.

I have had a pair of these for a year, and wanted a second pair. The second pair is nothing like the year old pair. The new pair is flimsier and the suede will not last as long.

Order this shoe every two years. Love it, especially with the soft food bed. Zappos has the fastest shipping anywhere. Will always order from them. Thanks Zappos!

Gift for my husband. He loves them and lives in them on the weekends.

Birkenstock Arizona is my favorite, in fact I have 4 pair at present. They are most comfortable especially for those of us suffering from arthritis in our feet. My #1 sandal!

Excellent shoes -- walked more than 10 miles a day in them -- Paris/London. So comfortable and great support.

This is my second pair of Birkenstocks and they are by far the most comfortable, longest lasting sandals I have ever owned. The first pair, with heavy use, lasted 8 yrs. I would recommend highly.

My last pair of Arizonas were from 1992. I found that I had to tighten the straps more than before. This is the first time I've tried the soft footbed and I definitely recommend them.

If you are looking for comfort, it doesn't get much better than these shoes. There is break in time. Just wear out of the box and go. I don't feel very fashionable when I wear these, but I can walk the streets of NYC in the heat of the summer and not worry about foot pain, etc. I have the regular width. I marked true to size, but if anything, it runs pretty full.

This is my first pair of soft footbed Birkenstock. I have a regular pair of Arizonas which I liked, but these soft footbeds are really great. I imagine when I order more, this is what I'll get. I have difficulty finding comfortable shoes, and these fill the bill. Very comfy.

Love these! The only gripe I have is that I had to tighten the buckle using the last hole...and I don't even have small feet. Other than that these are great.

The narrow fits more like the original Betula! I ordered a regular width and it was VERY wide. I have wide feet, so this isn't a "skinny foot" gal review! Also - I got the soft footbed. It is a NICE difference. It's almost like the shoe is already broken in.

This pair of shoes has improved greatly in cushion support over the ones I bought 4 years ago and replaced with these new ones. A top quality product. Will continue to buy in the future as these wear out. This model shoe i wear more than any other ones I have. I have a dozen pair of shoes.

I got these for my husband and he loves them. Very comfy from the beginning, no breaking-in period required!

Have worn this particular style of Birk for years. The soft footbed makes it nicer. I do believe it is a smidge longer than the previous models of Arizona, however...
