Zappos can’t overemphasize the consideration that if you’re a woman and even if you normally wear a B or Medium width, the Narrow is likely to fit better. I initially bought the 42 Regular in the same sandal, and it was the right length but otherwise swimming on me. I considered adding additional hole punches to the straps, until I went back to the product info and reviews. The fact that your turnaround is so fast made this issue nothing more than a hiccup. I’m very pleased w/ my Arizonas (42 Narrow). I’m back to Birks after a few years “away,” and I’m very glad.

I love the material, it is super soft and made them easier to break in. I own a pair of black plastic Birks and my feet are already used to the fit which has been less painful to break in. Very pleased so far with the quality of the sandal.

I want to love this but the straps are loose and on the tightest setting. I’m not sure if I should return for a narrow or see if I can have another hole added.

Birkenstock sandals typically run a size large and a size wide, so I go down a size and a width. Knowing this is key. Once you find the right fit, there is a short break-in period. Then the fun (and comfort) begins!!

I bought the narrow width and it’s a regular shoe width - which is great because I find the normal width of Birkenstocks very wide. Definitely gets more comfortable as you break it in.

I bought these to wear in my studio while I work. I'm on my feet most of the time and wanted to give these a try intending to wear them with thick puffy socks (I work alone, so....). Anyway, I probably wore them a little bit too long the first time and my feet and legs/hips hurt that night. I didn't wear them the next day and was thinking I'd send them back, but decided to give them another shot with puffier socks on. They are getting better as my feet get used to them. Normally I wear a very flat soft shoe by Sketchers called something like Walk, or Walk 2 or some such thing, which have little support. After all those years wearing a shoe with no support on my feet all day I suppose it'll take some getting used to. I'm keeping them. the fit was good. I'm normally a 7.5 and my foot is a normal width, not narrow or wide. I got the regular width, not narrow in a size 38 and they fit good. I like the look of them and that I can slip into them easily and my feet don't get too hot. Guess I'm keeping them.

My first pair of Birks. I’m a woman & have never needed a narrow shoe until I bought these. I suppose it’s because they’re unisex so the regular fit accommodates an average size man’s foot. Length was true to size & comfort was great. Only drawback is that sandal “sucks” the sole of my foot & makes noise when I walk, but hopefully this will stop with wear.

These are very comfortable and have excellent arch support. Perfect therapy for your feet while being hippie chic stylish. The suede straps are super soft. You can’t go wrong with Birks!

Very cute, this will probably be my go to sandal this summer. They run a bit big so I had to return for a size down but customer service was great and I received my new order the next day.

I love Birkenstock sandals...unfortunately, my puppy does too! Had to order a new pair after he chewed through two other pair. The Arizona has always been my favorite and the suede Arizona is exactly what I wanted. I typically wear an 8 but had to return the 39’s for 38’s....which fit perfect.! I’m impressed with how fantastic Zappos return policy is...they’re the best!

I’ve owned Birkenstock’s previously, but haven’t worn them in a few years. My feet bother me too often and lately they seem even worse, so I decided to try wearing these again to see if it helps. To be determined...

Wayyy too big. Had to reorder a full size down from my usual size 9. Kept the 8, but in hindsight, should’ve gone down to the 7.5 as the sandals wear in and the straps stretch/loosen a bit. Great quality material though, and beautifully made.

Two of the reasons I love Birkenstocks are: good arch support and availability of narrow widths. I have been wearing them for 40 years. This pair lives up to the brand name. They looked and felt just as they should upon arrival and I am as always pleased with the out of the box comfort.

As a unisex shoe, I find these to run slightly wide. I ordered the Regular on first pass but had to return for the Narrow. I still tighten the buckle. The suede upper is so buttery and the molded footbed is very comfortable. I've tried other brands that look similar and cost about the same but the buckles on those were attached with a rivet that was extremely irritating when the shoe was tightened. With the Birkenstock brand, I never feel the buckle on the top of my foot.

Absolutely love the sandal. My wife bought a pair a few years ago and I just didn't like the looks of them, but I finally decided to give them a try and I love them so much. They are the most comfortable sandal I own and have cleaned out my closet of sandals I have tried in the past and gave them to Goodwill. I love the arch support and their comfort. I originally had a size 43 but have since changed to a size 44 as it actually fits my foot bed better. I purchased the Arizona soft bed Taupe Suede sandal and couldn't be happier.

This is my 2nd pair of Birkenstock’s. The first pair (silver Arizonas) is 5 years old and going strong although the silver leather is pretty scratched up. Thought I’d try the suede this time. It’s definitely more comfortable across the foot and I’m looking forward to getting lots of mileage on this pair as well. I highly recommend Birkenstock’s with the soft footbed because they are so comfortable right out of the box. I usually wear a 9 wide so the 39 Regular is perfect for me.

This is my seconds pair of Birkenstocks. I bought these in the Taupe suede color, and they are not only beautiful but also fit like a glove!! My normal shoe size is usually 7.5-8, and my feet are narrow and sandals are always difficult to fit. My Birk size is 37, and the narrow width is great. Perfect fit, incredibly comfortable sandal. Might get them in black.

I’ve only worn these indoors for a few hours each day for a week. Hoping the soft footbed will be kind to the neuroma on my left foot. One negative I feel obligated to report is that one shoe makes an awkward noise (like gas being expelled). Hoping it goes away in time as the shoe forms to my foot.
