I really wanted some black Birks that had black buckles. I finally got these and they're perfect--same comfort as I'm used to with the soft footbed, but I love the monochrome look. I have some pairs in the narrow width, but got these in the regular for that little extra room.

I have wanted the arizona sandal for years and finally caved- so glad i did. I love these! I typically wear a kids 3.5 or womens 5-5.5. The kids 34 is too tight (but would fit in terms of length if i could get my foot in) so i got the 35 and it works reslly well.

I love the soft foot bed. Nice construction, good placement of straps. I bought a narrow and that's still too wide for me. I had to add an extra whole in both straps. Works okay for around the house but would not want to do a lot of heavy walking in them. They still feel wide. If that wasn't the case, I think I would love them. I marked as "true to size" because the length seemed right. I would not call them narrow. More like average width.

I am a size 7.5 and the 38 narrow fits me perfectly. I bought the color grey suede and I really like it...looks great with jeans! These are very comfortable and I think I'll be buying more colors.

My 10 year old daughter loves these Birks! If she could where them to school every day she would but she wears her tennis shoes for PE and so she can play at recess.

I normally wear a 7.5/8 and I ordered a 7 whi?h was the right size for me. I have low arches so these rub hard on the insides of my feet, which sucks, but they are comfortable if I don't walk longer than mayb? a half hour in them.

These are my favorite shoes. I like the soft footbed even better than the hard footbed because there's no break in period. They are comfy right away. And the suede straps are the best straps because they are so soft. Now, if only they made those cute colors that only come in NARROW in these REGULAR width versions, then I'd be happy.

I just ordered my first pair of Birkenstock. I need shoes with great arch support and soft footbed. This shoe has the great arch support. At first the footbed seems hard but from what I have learned is you need to brake them in. Since my foot slides around in these I am sending them back. I have another style that I will try for a long period of time.

I LOVE THESE SANDALS. They provide great support to my arches. I can stay in them for hours. I love wearing them out. Considering getting a second pair for indoors. I highly recommend.

I usually wear a size 8W, so I originally ordered a size 39, but had to return for size 38. Had checked out other similar shoes of different brands, but not nearly as nice. The straps on these are 100% suede on both sides, so very soft against your feet. More expensive than similar shoes but I think it will be well worth the investment. Same price as Birkenstock website but faster shipping. Would definitely purchase more Birkenstocks from Zappos.

Love Birkenstocks! A total staple in my closet. Not really made for wearing anywhere with a lot of walking. I do get a lot of compliements when I wear them, and since I have a tween age daughter I get major mom points!

I wear a 7 l/2 to an 8 and this is an unisex size, it seemed too big for me. It was a beautiful color, but even putting the straps on the tightest they would go they were still too loose. I hated to return them, but they really didn't fit.

These are so comfy! They look pretty bulky on my size 5 feet and probably won't turn my husband on but they seem built to last and perfect for summers in the south. Next time, I'd probably order the light pink to be a bit more feminine but these are great, too.

They are as dreamily comfortable as everyone says. I have nothing to add in that dept. Wanted to share sizing. I wear a 7.5 and the 39 narrow in this sandal fits me PERFECT. For comparison, I'm a 38 in Danskos.

The soft footbed is a serious upgrade to the classic two strap Birkenstock I have worn for years. The sole provides support, but is softer than the previous ones I have owned.

Love these! I ordered the taupe and they look a bit darker in person than in the photo. I usually wear a size 7 shoe and I ordered the 38 narrow and they fit perfectly. My feet are average to fairly narrow. They are super comfortable.

All the hype made me super excited to get these bad boys on my feet. Meh. I just don't think they're really that comfortable despite a significant amount of time wearing them (I've had them for more than a year now and try to wear them every time I can get away with sandals). I'm always a size 6 and ordered a 35 and in terms of fit they are way more comfortable than the Birkenstock Gizeh sandals I also have. Maybe it's the soft footbed that makes these more tolerable than the Gizeh. These sandals make my athletic legs look wider than they are. Maybe if I was a 6' tall supermodel with super thin legs I could look all cute and bohemian. But alas I'm just 5'4" with a normal person body. Maybe my style isn't cool enough to pull these off. I don't know. Oh well. I commend everyone who loves these and looks fashionable while wearing them.

The narrow width is much better for me. I am not a narrow by any means but in the regular the 39 was too small and the 40 was too large. In the narrow the 40 was fine.

Been a Birk wearing gal since high school(I'm 39 now)! Still a great show and even better than they on trend now. Can't go wrong with this Shoe. Best upgrade is soft bed. Not sure I could go back to the regular bed.

So far so good. Just been wearing them around the house to see if I like them. Plus a friend said there is a break in period. The soft foot bed is softer than without but I thought it would be more padded. Still a good sandal tho!

FYI: My foot runs wide. In these sandals, I prefer the narrow width over the regular width. The pair that I have that is the regular width, I have had to add more holes in the leather to cinch them in. Birks are just about the only shoe I wear. My hips, back and feet all feel better when I wear them.

i went with the black suede and they go nicely with everything. The first day breaking them in was rough but I can't complain about their comfort since.

Love these! I own several pairs of Birkenstocks, but these are my first pair with the Soft Foodbed. Definitely won't be my last.
