So, I have flat feet. I know you have to break in a pair of Birkenstocks to mold to your feet. I can't wait until these are broken in! I love the white sole, suede and can tell once the blisters on my more flat foot go away, these will be awesome.

Ever amazing, these shoes are pure comfort. I especially love the soft foot bed. I only wish more holes were punched in the straps to make them tighter. This can be done at home but would be helpful to have them machine placed for a better look. Otherwise, they are amazing.

This is my second pair of those exact Birkenstocks. I have worn out the first pair and am glad to have a second pair.

This style was too big. I have another pair of Birkenstocks that were the same size and they fit perfectly. I ended up returning these and I purchased the narrow fit (I don’t have a narrow foot) and they fit much better. The suede is very soft and fits differently than the leather.

These are a gift for my daughter. But I have the same sandal, so I can confidently assert that they are great.

I have bought a lot of different Birkenstocks over the years and I love the color of the straps on these ones! That being said the soft footbed isn’t as nice as the original footbed, I’ve worn them pretty regularly for a few years and they have yet to contour to my foot the way my other Birkenstocks do. This makes it difficult to keep them on my foot when I walk and they’re just not as comfortable.

I have purchased this style of Birks several times over the past 15 years. I love it (obviously). This pair seems bigger even though it is the same size I always wear. I was really excited about the black color when I ordered them. Unfortunately, the dye bleeds onto my feet whenever I wear them. I've not experienced that with any style of Birks that I've owned. I'm not excited about it at all.

this is a very comfortable sandal. the best part is the suede makes it very soft right from the beginning, no breaking in to soften up, so that means the top of your feet won't get a blister or get sore from hard leather brushing against your skin. I love the suede ones for this reason, they are soft from the start.

I have 5 or 6 pair of suede Arizonas--unisex and women's--some the suede is soft; some there's a little more structure. I love this antique white. But the antique white suede is really, really soft. Didn't feel like I had enough strap support--to secure my foot to the footbed. And straps seem to be longer. I would have needed to punch another hole. I've never had to do that in a pair of Arizonas. I don't want to do that in $140 pair of shoes. Sad that these won't work for me.

I love the soft footbed! It makes a huge difference in comfort out of the box for me. The suede straps are soft and don’t rub or irritate the skin like stiffer materials can. The unisex size is comfortable for a wider foot vs women’s sizing that is more narrow.

I just cannot seem to get the fit right in these sandals. I started with a 38 regular width. The straps over my foot were too loose even on the tightest holes. I replaced them with size 37 regular width. Same problem with loose straps over the top of my foot. I am sending them back and asking for 37 narrow width. If those don’t work I will ask for a refund.

The overall size is perfect. I love these shoes so much because my back doesn't hurt when I wear them. I wear them all the time. I love them so much I just ordered my 3rd pair. I do highly recommend getting the cork sealer and cleaner to extend the shoe lifetime.

Love, love, love 'Birks'!!
Have worn them for decades! Call me 'crunchy', Birks are my sandal of choice in the summer! If you check college campuses, Birks have a monopoly on footwear (i.e. UMF, Farmington).
The fit, footbed and arch are something akin to 'perfect'!

Love birks! I’ve been wearing Birkenstocks for many, many, many years. They never disappoint - fit is always the same. I have 5 pairs of Arizona’s and love them. My go to shoe.

Ordered hubby a 41, too small. He wanted a 43, too big. So finally found the right size w/ a 42. His normal shoe size is 10-10&1/2. Arthritis in ball joint make finding comfy sandals a challenge. The suede on these straps is soft. He nailed another hole to make the straps fit better. Finally- all good! As always, Zappos ROCKS!

I have been waiting too long to get a pair of these and was excited to get back into town to open my new birks, however once i arrived home to finally open the package, it wasn't in original Birkenstock box and its very evident they are a used pair by the wear on the footbed. I will try to order a new pair but im very upset i paid $150 for a used item. The wide feels too big anyways so hopefully the narrow ones will be a better choice and not a used pair this time.
