I really like the modern gray colored suede. I have gotten several compliments. As with all my Birks, they are super comfortable & keep my feet feeling good after a long day.

This is my first pair of Birkenstock sandals/shoes and I am quite surprised at how comfortable they were from day one as I expected a breaking in period. They absolutely do not need breaking in although the first time I wore them I only wore them for 4 hours just to see if they were as comfortable as they seemed in my house. They are incredibly comfortable and I find myself wearing them at least 2-3 times a week. Will absolutely buy more Birkenstock sandals

I am a huge fan of Birkenstocks for their mega-hip, slightly quirky styles and sweet comfort. The suede Arizonas with soft footbeds are the comfiest of the comfy, like slippers. Birkenstocks last forever and are well worth the investment. I walk a lot at work; my Arizonas help my feet stay happy all day.

These are so comfortable! I purchased the Velvet Gray Suede and they are perfect! The only thing I would say as a "negative" is that the straps feel a little loose like there needs to be an extra hole punched in the suede. I'm not sure if these have been tried on a few times and stretched out, or it's just how they were made. Otherwise, they are perfect! I ordered a size 37 (I'm a size 7/7.5 normally). Would highly recommend!

I've been wearing Birkenstock Arizona in Suede for 30 years or more. Suede is my preference and I find it much easier to break in than leather. The narrow footbed is perfect for me. I also love doing business with Zappo's - orders are shipped right away, and I have never had an issue with returns.

Nice classic shoes. I didn't think the soft footbed was really all that soft though. I did like the black suede, but I wanted something less unisex-y and went with Naot Jessica.

Perfect, as you would expect but one caveat: when it rained/my feet became sweaty I noticed black smudging on the tops of my feet. But to be expected when wearing suede I suppose?

These were my first pair of Birks and I was pretty disappointed. They were not comfortable at all, sole wasn’t not very cushioned and the straps are sharp and dig into my toes. Also still felt too wide for my narrow feet despite ordering in size narrow and adjusting the straps. I got a pair of faux birks from target for $10 and they were INCREDIBLY comfortable, right out of the box so I guess I’ll save myself $100+...

I love love love the soft footbed, these felt great immediately, no break in time. I'm normally a size 6 in most shoes, maybe even a 6.5 sometimes, but i ordered these in the size 36 (size5- 5.5) and they fit perfect. highly recommend, the suede buckle straps are super comfy too.

Last May i acquired my first pair of Brikenstock sandals, at first they were the perfect shoes and as time went by they started to loose up, and I ordered a Narrow size which is confusing because I cant tight them at all. Also the quality of the product is not what i expected, they start to hurt the top of my last fingers. I would order half size up to give more comfort.

I first wore Birkenstock's Arizona Soft Footbed in 1974 at the age of 34, post foot surgery as recommended by my podiatrist. I wore them everywhere, even on the dance floor. Here we are 2018 and I still choose this sandal over all others. Love them.
I'd also recommend:
Keen slides and Asics sneakers are very comfortable as well.

I just received these from my trusty UPS man, and I am in love! I ordered the taupe, suede ones in my recommended size, which was women's 8-8.5 narrow. Typically, I wear an 8 with medium width, however, thank goodness I read the width instructions from Birkenstock and the reviews, which clued me in that I needed to order narrow. Narrow in these shoes covers regular width and narrow, so be aware. The foot bed is amazing. I got these because I suffer from plantar fasciitis and I wanted cute shoes with support. I am so happy I got them. They will look awesome with shorts, jeans, and skirts. Order them, you won't regret it!

These caused physical pain when taking a step in them. They force the foot into an unnatural position. Don't wear them if they hurt your feet thinking they will break in, that's your foot adjusting to something uncomfortable and the pain you initially feel is your body telling you that something is wrong. Don't fall for the hype and avoid these.

I always wear a 38 and it was way too long in this shoe! Width was perfect. Had to return for a 37

This is my first pair of Birkenstock sandals and I love them! I have pain in my foot sometimes but never when I wear these. They provide just the right amount of support and my feet feel great when I wear these shoes!

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks. I like the fit and feel. Except the straps on the right shoe are a half inch longer than those on the left. Are these irregular shoes that I’m paying full price for? Or is this common for Birks?

Let's face it: these are among the ugliest shoes ever made. I wore them the first time around when I was in my 20s, and now I'm in my 60s and I am so thankful that I tried them again. After sending back multiple pairs of sandals that claimed to be comfortable, but weren't, these Arizona sandals with the soft footbed are making my feet very happy. There was absolutely no break in time, and walking in them is totally comfortable. I don't remember the hard footbed that people complained about, but this softer version is very kind to feet that have lost a lot of their natural padding over the years. I love to walk, and at last I have some sandals that are a joy to walk in. They are not pretty, but my young student tells me they are back in fashion. Hallelujah!! I love them and have worn them every day since purchasing.
