Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

Very comfortable. My husband loves them.

My third pair of Birkenstocks. These are the most comfortable sandals I own, I live in Florida, so these are an every day shoe. They are well made and last practically forever. Well worth the price.

These are true to size. Love the narrow fit!

I bought my latest pair from a local retailer, but came on here to look for another color and noticed so many reviews stating how big the sandal runs. I always need advice with sizing if I order online so here’s my opinion. I’ve been wearing Birkenstocks for almost 25 years. They are supposed to be roomy. If they “fit like a glove”, they might be too small. Your heel is supposed to fit in the cup and you should have at least 1/4” extra length at the toe when standing. This is a proper fit. If your toes touch the top of the sandal (where the lip is), they are too small. Perhaps it’s the width that makes it seem like the sandal runs large (regular width is quite wide - narrow is an average width so choose narrow if you have a medium width foot). For reference, I am a solid size 9M in women’s shoes and I wear a 40N which is exactly what is says in my Arizona suede - size 40, L-9, M-7. So for me, I find them absolutely true to size for how I wear them.

Are they sexy? No. Are they comfy, quality and highly functional- big old yup! This is my first pair of Birks. I was hesitant but I have outgrown the idea that flip flops are a good investment. While I still dont think they look amazing, these sandals are very comfy and high quality. I am impressed. The 39 was JUST too small so I ordered a 40. I think I'm technically somewhere in between. But better to go up though since the toe lip could get uncomfortable if they are too small, I think. I found both sizes to have the same materials and coloration, which i read was amn issue for some folks.

The color on these is different from shoe to shoe. I first ordered the regular width, because I have on the last 4 pairs of Birks, but maybe because of the suede, the straps are VERY wide. The color was as it is in the picture but because of the fit, I sent them back as an exchange. The narrow ones arrived and while the fit is great, the color is like a dirty gray and the suede upper is all nubby as if someone's already worn them for a whole season. Very disappointed and now these will have to go back to.

Fits great!

these fit great....so comfy...and the suede is so soft. no breaking in necessary!

I love these soft sole sandals. They're incredibly comfortable. I take exception to the reviewer (a man, no less) who suggested that the regular width sandals is only for really fat feet. The regular width Birkenstock is average width for men, and I prefer it over the narrow width, too. I am a woman with average-width feet. But I've avoided a lot of typical ladies' foot issues by wearing high quality well-fitting shoes. The footbed should cradle the foot, not squeeze it in. If the suede straps stretch with wear, just poke one more hole in them. It's easy. And it's better to have the footbed fit properly and adjust the straps accordingly. It's also better to leave factual reviews than rude ones.

Can’t beat the classic birks.

Prefer this over Birkenstock’s hard leather. This is soft and comfortable from the start. Latte is a great neutral color

This is a gift so not able to review it so this review is a quess.

Disappointing. This is my second pair of suede Arizonas. My first pair, purchased last year, had soft, comfortable straps out of the box. I loved them so much that I bought this second pair - exactly the same style except for the color. The straps on this pair are stiff to the point of cutting into my toes, and the staples rub and scratch the tops of my feet. Not what I expect from the brand or at this price. I would not purchase again.

These are my first Birkenstock’s and they fit fine and I was able to put them on and go straight out for a 2 mile walk on a warm evening. I hesitated buying them due to the price but was convinced that based on the reviews and Birkenstock’s reputation that they would become my ‘go to’ summer shoes while working from home. I don’t think they will, they offer no support and I think the search will continue. I have plank tile floors throughout my house that are really hard and I still prefer my much cheaper crocs for walking around in the house. These will work for evening walks and going to the pool but that’s about it. After years of hesitating to buy Birkenstock’s because of the looks I finally bought a pair and I still just don’t get their appeal.

Very comfortable, soft with great arch support

Way to big. 2 sizes to big.

I might have could have worn a narrow, I’m just not real sure. They fit fine I suppose as far as width goes. Yet I do believe I could have gone a size smaller. I’ll try the next size down next time. These do fit.... I just believe I could have gone down a size. I wasn’t sure which way to go, when I ordered them. I wear size 6 1/2 n 7 in most shoes . So I got the 7 in these. I’m keeping them. I do like the soft bed in this style.

Suede is very soft and comfortable but my foot slid forward because it does not hold my foot in place like the regular leather Birkenstock’s. I returned them because of this.

I’ve been wearing Birkenstocks forever… For some reason I wasn’t sure if I should get narrow and I kind of wish I had. The foot bed fit perfectly but I did need to take them to the local cobbler to get more holes punched as they were a little loose across the top

I returned this shoe once to change size, but have never gotten it right. It works its way off my foot when I walk. I don't understand since Berkenstock has such a reputation, and for this shoe especially. I have kept it but really can't wear it.

I absolutely love the feel of this shoe. The leather is soft and the foot bed is as well. I have plantar fasciitis and Birkenstock shoes are the ONLY shoe that I can wear without any pain at all! This shoe is great because I can wear them with literally anything and they are stylish. The color is light so they match with any color outfit. My foot is a bit wider so this is a great option for me but the buckles do adjust for a perfect fit.

Purchased gray size 11-11.5 for a Fathers Day gift for hubs, he loves em. Fit great, comfortable[as the Arizona's soft foot bed claims] . If you haven't tried Birkies , you are missing out! Molds to foot, great for posture, style/comfort superior. Will last years.

I had a pair of Birkenstocks years ago and wore them out. I hadn't bought any since because I thought they would be too wide for my 7 1/2 N foot. When I saw they come in narrow I ordered. As my photo shows they fit my foot perfectly. I have adjusted the straps for a snug fit. I like the feel of the soft leather. They arrived soon after I ordered just in time for spring and summer.

I wear a 9 1/2 narrow and my few current Birkenstocks are size 40. I decided to try a size 41 because my heel was right to the end in them and the 40’s fit much better. I tried maybe 4 different styles and decided the best fit for comfort was the Arizona. Happy I found a good fit.

My last pair of Birkenstocks lasted over 25 years. This new pair has to same good fit and feel.
