All good. My husband has worn this style since I bought his first paid from nordies over 30 years ago. 'Nuff said!

Was finally able to get the proper size. Zappos is the only place that I've found that carries my size. I've bought many shoes from them and they always have great service.

I was on a mission to buy a pair of Birkenstock for my upcoming trip to Asia. Thank goodness for Zappos easy return policy. I ended up buying 6 different pairs of Birkenstorks. I tried the Mayari and Gizeh, and tested out the Birko-flor. I ultimately decided on this pair of Arizona soft footbed with the black suede. Being able to compare all the shoes side by side, these were by far the most comfortable of them all. I am size 6.5 in sneakers and size 6 in Uggs. I have normal width feet, but took the other reviewers advice and tried out the "narrow" after I had to return all first bath of size 37. I finally got the size 36 "narrow", which to me was a true fit with normal width...perfect. Thanks Zappos for carrying these!

My favorite shows in the whole world! I have another pair that I wore everyday of the summer last year. I love the brand and what they stand for so I got a second pair. The suede is so soft!! I love wearing them with socks in the winter! I could walk a thousand miles in these shoes. I've never had more comfortable shoes. Order yours today!

Why did I wait so long to pamper my old feet? Normally wear 10AAA. Had to size up to 42 to accommodate toe issue, and punch 1 more strap hole for best fit. And now they're perfect, just like Zappos service!

I normally wear a 7.5 and had to order the 6-6.5 (37) shoe after the 38 was too big. But overall these shoes are very comfortable and totally worth the money.

Love these shoes. There is no need to break them in - they are soft and comfortable. I ordered a regular width and should have ordered narrow, but punched an extra hole in the strap and they are comfortable. I'm going to have bunion surgery and these shoes will work for me before and after surgery.

Always love these! Comfortable and sturdy. They fit well and are neutral enough to wear with almost anything. I can't do without my Birks!! Not stylish but wonderfully good for my feet.

I love the Arizona. It's my third one over the years. I got the Velvet Grey color and I really like it. The black was too dark. I am usually a 10 or 10W in women's shoes and I got the 41N size. I tried the regular and my feet were swimming.

I now have four pairs of Birkenstock Arizona sandals, but this is my first with the soft footbed. VERY nice and takes no breaking in. This model (black suede) has been out of stock everywhere, and I didn't think I'd get it until next year (2016). Asked Zappos to alert me when they got it in stock. Imagine my delight when they contacted me months before I expected to hear! And just in time to help me through bunion surgery recovery. LOVE the all-the-time FREE 2-day shipping when using Android app. Fantastic on all counts, Zappos! Kudos and thanks!

I'm very happy with my Birkenstocks. I normally wear a size 8 and sometimes 8 1/2 and after ordering and returning a size 39 I settled on the size 38 and they are perfect.

Love this Birkenstock soft footbed sandal in suede. The suede is so soft that it molds to your feet right away without any breaking in time like the leathers and nubucks require, so no red or sore toes. Wish that Zappos carried this sandal in all of the other colors that they list on their website like Jasper, Avocado, Velvet Grey, and Blue suede. I'm on the waitlist for the Black suede as well. Can't wait till they come back in stock. As always Zappos does an excellent job with getting shoes here fast and with their return policy for those of us with tricky to fit feet. Love these Arizona Soft Footbed sandals in suede! If you feet are a C width I suggest you get the regular width in the unisex styles and if you are in-between sizes go down to the smaller size if you choose the Regular width.

Beautifully made! No surprise there, as a former Birkenstock wearer, I received just what I expected. The gray is aptly termed as "velvet"...dark, and supple. I will need to have two new holes made on the straps, as they don't quite tighten enough for barefoot wearing. This is typical for my thin-ish feet, no problem. I must comment on the arch support, which is really why I ordered these---fantastic! I have unusually high arches, and am on my feet, teaching, most all days---the arch in the shoe meets my own perfectly. Finally, as always, Zappos service is second to none. Thank you!

Very comfortable, great support. Ran big so I had to exchange for a smaller size. The nature of the shoe means they need to fit perfectly, otherwise the cradle of the heel and toe doesn't hold the foot properly. Getting these too bit won't work at all.

These are as comfortable as I'd expected - after all, they're Birkenstocks! Once I received these I finally disposed of the pair I've had (and worn) for...40 years! These are lighter and softer on the foot, while providing terrific support. Not to mention the Charcoal Grey color is beautiful! One of my best purchases!

Finally...finally Birkenstock made their footbed softer. True to size and great comfort on day 1. I love the color too.

This is my fourth pair of Birks. Love the Arizona footbed. It does take awhile to break in. I still wear mine constantly from the minute I receive them, so obviously not a problem! This dark suede color rubs off on my feet, even after I waterproofed them. So, not a fan of that. Only had them for two weeks so I'm not sure if it'll stop once they're worn longer. I have joint problems and arthritis so I wear these for comfort, not style.

These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn! Wearing these is more comfortable than walking barefoot. They do have to be broken in. The style is a splattered paint look and they look cute with shorts/jeans.

In my 20s I always wore 4+ inch sandals and now as a mom of 4 comfort is key! A really comfortable sandal. These Birkenstocks are heavenly on my feet. I have a wider foot and I always wear a 6.5 and I ordered a 37 narrow in these beauties. I purchased the flower crush mocha suede and they go with everything.

I recently had foot surgery and have not been able to wear any sandals or anything at all with an open-toe until I got these. They are hands down the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. I'm on my feet all day and I have zero discomfort at the end of the day now. I also like that they come in a narrow option as this only adds to the comfort. I can't recommend these more highly! I want to get the mayari ones as soon as they are available in my size as they can be 'dressed up' a bit more than the Arizonas.

It's been a while since I've had Birkenstocks, but I'll always wear them now. The Arizona is the classic men's sandal, and so comfortable. This suede is very soft and does not need breaking in. Very supportive, even for heavy walking. I recently took them on a trip where I planned to wear my running shoes most of the time, but write these instead. My feet were just add supported and cooler! Love!

My last pair were 16 years old, just got rid of them. Replacing them with a new pair was a no brainer. Great fit and comfort.
