Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

I think these are the most comfortable shoe for summer, they go with just about, and I stress "just about" anything. I think they run a tad bit small, but hey, they are still great. I wish they came in half sizes, and then they would be the perfect shoe.

True comfort - This soft footbed is much better than the regular footbed in that there is no break-in time. I slipped these sandals on my feet and they felt so comfortable. I got the narrow width and glad that I did because they fit just like a medium width. This Arizona cashmere is a very neutral color, am going to try the soft footbed in a suede color next. As always the customer service at zappos is outstanding!

No arthritis pain in my feet now! Please buy the narrow shoe and purchase your sandal a half size smaller than you would normally buy. I took this advice from a teenager and she was absolutely right!

Love Birkies - I read the special note on the Zappos website that said Birkenstock narrow is an American average size in width. This was new information to me and I decided to go ahead and order a narrow. The sandals fit perfectly! I also always go down one full size too. I usually wear an 8 but in Birkenstocks I wear a 7. I just love them.

While the fit was fine, (they did feel closer to a Regular than a Wide), and they were comfortable, the "grey" color just appeared slightly purple to me and did not match my charcoal grey clothes so I chose to replace it with another option.

These are much better than your typical slide with better support; however, I felt much better in shoes with a softer footbed and more arch support. I found better values, style, comfort, and support with Vionic, SAS, Aravon, Taos, and Teva. I do not recommend Clark's as their footbed flattens out leaving you without any arch support.

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.

I've purchased lots of Birkenstocks over the years. My last pair of taupe suede Arizonas were made of stiffer suede. I don't think the suede that is used now is the same quality. These were too flimsy to stay on well, though the sale is nice and the footbed wonderful.I will only purchase regular leather or Birki. These were a huge disappointment.

These shoes were USED. They came in a weird box and had clearly been worn as there were top imprints on the bed of the sandal. I'll be returning.

DISGUSTED!! Zappos sent me dirty, well used Birks. Military living overseas delivery is slow, so this whole process of returning and waiting again for order is a bummer. Thankfully customer service helped me out….sort of. The return label had no scan so post office could not guarantee tracking… ugh… ended up paying for return because i honestly dont trust Zappos. Last time I use Zappos after years of shopping with you, BYE.

These were to replace a worn out pair of the same color/size. However, the suede is raw and furry, nothing like the black and grey i recently purchased.

The color was disappointing. More olive green. The fit was awful. Birkenstock needs to make more women's sizes and not unisex. If you get the regular unisex, they're too big and if you get the narrow unisex, they're too narrow. I ordered the 8-8-1/2 unisex size and they were almost a size too big. All around disappointing.

Narrow definitely fits many peoples foot in this sandal.

Love the extra padding of the soft footbed! Beautiful soft leather, good quality materials, as always. Can't go wrong with Birkenstocks!

These are very soft and comfy! I do like them. The only con is that the straps are suede and they keep falling down. You have to lift the straps to put your feet in each time. They don’t stay up like the oiled-leather.

They fit well and the fabric is so soft. Birkenstock sandals are awesome!

They are birkenstocks. High quality soft footbed so no breaking in . Color is great .

Birkenstock with the soft foot bed and the suede upper is the most comfortable sandal they make. There is no break in like with the nubuck leather. I will be these again and again.

I've been wearing Birkenstocks for 40 years due to their excellent support and comfort, but the new soft footbeds have made them even better! Once you acclimate to the natural Birkenstock footbed (it does take some getting used to at first, and your first pair should be worn for increasing periods of time over a few days) they not only make your feet feel great, but improve comfort for your legs and low back too. I rarely wear anything but Danskos or Birkentsocks, because as the old ad slogan used to say, "Life is better when your feet don't hurt."

Size snd fit were perfect as I took measurements on the Birkenstock website. For the longest time I resisted Birkenstocks and limited myself to Rainbow sandals which are incredibly comfortable but the Birkenstocks are more versatile and now are part of my closet.

My first pair of Birckenstocks - and I am super happy. I have a bone spur and have been having a hard time finding shoes that don't cause pain. I have been wearing these for a couple of weeks now and my pain is lessening.

Feels like walking on clouds (although I’ve never actually walked on clouds).

First time with soft footbed- I will not be going back to the other! So much more comfort!

Really like the Birkenstocks with the soft footbed. Felt comfortable right out of the box.

I have worn Birkenstocks since 1977, and it's always exciting to get a new pair. I really like the soft footbed (not squishy-soft, but there's a foam layer that provides some cushion compared to the original). I've been wearing nubuck and leather Birks in recent years, and I decided to try the suede again for fall. The dark grey suede is nice and soft, and I look forward to wearing them. I am reliably a Birk 38 regular (38 or 7.5 elsewhere). If you are new to Birks, it might take you a short time to get used to them. I find them extremely comfortable.
