Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

In my quest to get the fit right, this is my second pair of Birkenstocks I’ve ordered this month. The first pair, came in a Birkenstock box, each shoe wrapped in plastic, with tags on. This pair came in a generic box, no tags, no plastic, and the rolled tissue paper that had come inserted in the straps of the shoe on the last pair, were tossed in the box on the side, doing nothing. Clearly, these had been worn/tried on by someone else, but is it too much to ask for the original packaging, if I’m paying full price for these? Back they go.... (and the regular width is still too wide for this girl with bunions anyway).

I’m usually a size 8 and it fit perfectly!!

Love them except it seems a half size bigger but I think that’s just the brand.

Ordered same size as my other Birkenstocks and this one was not even close to fitting. They are made for someone with a very wide foot - could have added 2 or 3 more holes in order to make them fit. Sent them back and ordered the narrow and they fit great. The suede straps are very soft and comfy. Gave them 3 stars only because the sizing was so different than my other birks.

We received exactly what we wanted. These were for my daugther, and she loves them! I had to deal with Customer Service about a billing issue (on my end, not Zappos), and I have to say their customer service was top notch. They were so nice and super helpful! We will definietly order more from Zappos in the future!

I first ordered my regular size 7-71/2 size (38) and was excited to get them. However, after reading many reviews, I contacted Zappos and told them I’m worried the 38’s would be too big and wanted to see if I could order a smaller size. Keep in mind my order had already been shipped. Instead of making me wait until I received the order, then turn around and send them back before shipping out the new pair; Zappos did the return right on the spot, sent out the new pair, emailed me a return label for the pair I was returning AND I received the new pair BEFORE the first pair were delivered! I ordered the new pair in a 37 NARROW, and they fit perfect!! So if you are a true size 7 and depending on the shoe, can sometimes wear 7 1/2, I would highly recommend going down a size in these! I don’t have narrow feet no are they wide but the 37 Narrow fit like a glove! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! ??

So comfortable! I love these shoes with and without socks. They have great base support for people who need a sturdy bottom of the shoe.

Great sandal! I own several Birks. These are my favorite.

Feel just as comfortable as previous purchases.

I am size 9, bought the 39 unisex, narrow. Fits perfect

This is my second pair of these sandals and I love them.

These were too big, I'm a size five normally and a 35, so I was already worried when I saw 35 EU was 4.5 US, so I bought the 4.5 and it was still too large.

There an area on the inner part of the shoe that pushes into the foot and is painful. I got regular width and was in the last hole of the buckles and they were too big. I do not have narrow feet.

Very comfortable shoes. Straps are a bit loose but not bad

Had to return sandals because 38 was slightly too small and 39 was too large. My foot slid around because I couldn't tighten the straps any more so my toes would hit the hard shoe frame material. I typically wear a 7.5 or 8 in other shoes.

When you order suede Birks, they tend to feel larger, and the foot slips around a little more in the shoe. I don't prefer this, so am exchanging.

I usually wear a 9.5 Wide but tried these shoes on in a store and knew the Birkenstock 40 Narrow would fit me. I suggest the "narrow" width even for those with wide feet because the shoe is more like most shoes in appearance as opposed to the regular width that flares out like ducks' feet. The straps have buckles that allow you to adjust the width. The 40 allows my feet to fit inside the "soft footbed," which is really not very soft, more like cork. It is important to up-size if you are a half-size like me because these shoes have hard edges around the outside that you do not want your feet to sit upon. The suede was mentioned in other reviews saying that the suede breaks in faster than leather and I picked the tan because it wouldn't draw attention to my feet. Why I bought Birkenstock was because I had trouble with plantar fascitis a year ago and my foot doctor suggested Birkenstock and other shoes that do not bend because they are more supportive. I wear them around the house.

You sent me wrong with. Still waiting for you to fix it. Not happy

I LOVE Zappos and order all my shoes for my entire family here. I think I received a fake pair of Birkenstock’s (see photos). The straps are NOT suede and I’m not sure they are even leather. The underside of the straps are some kind of black felt. The outside of the straps feel like vinyl.

First pair of Birkenstock’s and I bloody love them!

I hadn’t bought a pair of Birkenstocks in 20 years, but they fit just like I remembered. This was my first pair of soft beds, and they didn’t feel much different than the traditional footbed to me. I’ve worn them every day since they arrived, and they’ve greatly improved my plantar fasciitis.

I usually wear a 9.5-10 wide, and I followed Zappo's recommendations and got the 41 regular. My feet were swimming in these. I returned them and kept the Birkenstock Mayari. They did seem comfortable, and I foresee a pair of Arizonas in my future. As for style, well -- that's not why we buy these, is it?

Love these taupe suede Arizona Birks so much! And the narrow width is perfect for me. So happy!

While I loved the color and the softness of the suede, the medium width was way too large for my normal width feet. Even at the tightest option, they were too loose. The suede is very thin, too. Returned
