Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

The arch in these is high, as I expected. I have a pretty flat foot, so it is a little high for me, but not so much that it's uncomfortable.

i wear between a 5 1/2 and 6 in most shoes and i ordered a 36. Should have ordered a 35!

I love these birkentsocks! The soft foot bed makes them even better. I can walk around in them all day, super easy to slip on and super comfy.

They look great and my son loves them however I ordered them a size too big so I need to send them back.

Just came in, I can tell I'm going to love them already. I got the soft bed Arizona in taupe. I love the bronzey buckles. I can usually get away with wearing a 6.5, thankfully I ordered a 7-7.5 and they are perfect. I do have to buckle them all the way since they are Regular; reason I didn't get a Narrow is because I have bunions on my pinky toes. If you don't have wide feet and don't have bunions then a narrow is probably fine for you. Aaand of course one-day shipping from Zappos is the bomb dot com.

Love Birkenstocks! These are my first soft footbed sandals and they are great (I currently have 2 arizonas, 3 gizehs, and 1 mayari in regular footbed). We'll see how they wear in comparison to the regular footbed. This is also my first pair of suede-I'll see how much they stretch as the leather typically doesn't stretch much. I have even had the entire footbed on a pair of my leather gizehs replaced and they were as good as new! I usually wear a 8-9 in other brands but wear a 38 in Birkenstock. I can wear both the narrow and regular but prefer the extra width of the regular. I have tried size 39 but the arches do not hit my foot in the correct spot. I also walk a lot and never have foot pain when wearing my birkenstocks! Yes, they cost more, yes they are flat right out of the box, yes they must be broken in and maybe they are not as stylish as other sandals but buy them and give them a chance to break in properly, you won't regret it!

I have several birkenstock brand sandals and shoes and this style is my absolute favorite. The soft footbed combined with the suede leather of this sandal is very comfortable and I needed no break in period. The width I bought is a narrow and it fits perfectly if you have a narrow to regular foot width. If you find that this particular style needs a break in period I suggest you wear them with socks and loosen the straps until it becomes comfortable and the leather softens. After a few days you can wear them without socks and adjust the straps again as needed. I did not need any break in period with this type of leather.

LOVE THESE! So comfortable once you get the straps tight enough. I've worn them everyday since I've gotten them. The soft sole is SO WORTH IT. Wear an 8 and got an 8 - perfect fit!

Soooo comfy right out of the box. The suede is super soft. Perfect summer sandals!

I have been wearing Birkenstock for over 20 years and love love love them. These are so soft and comfortable!!! I can't wait till the weather changes!!

I'm in my 70s and used to love Birks. I'd hope this one would work with soft footbed. It did not. It was too wide, which could have been fixed by adding another hole, and my feet must be too tender to adjust to the foot bed. And it slipped off my ankles. So sad none of the Birks I have tried are working for me anymore.

These are so comfy I love my new Birkenstocks, first pair of soft bed and I like them

So comfortable! Strongly recommend!

I've worn Birkenstocks for over 10 years for the arch support. I have a long but very narrow foot, Woman's 13.5 AAAA width. Now that Birkenstock is coming narrow with the longer lengths, the arch support fits even better which I need for my flat feet. I don't know how many women out there are like me (I mostly find women with long but wide feet) but I think it's because men's feet are becoming narrower. Perhaps I should thank the men for finally catching up with me.

Love these! I bought the velvet grey suede. Great, soft color - kind of charcoal. Even though I have wide feet, I chose the narrow because it looks better and is less clunky ;-) the width is fine barefoot, but might not work with socks - which is fine. I got my usual size 38 & they are just big enough. I normally wear 8-8.5. I almost sent them back thinking they were too small, but after a few strap adjustments, my foot was centered better and they fine. So far I just wear them in the gym to and from the yoga studio, but this summer I'm sure that they will be my faves.

OK...so Birkenstocks have a look all their own....they may not be the most fashionable sandals, but they are always comfortable and provide great support. I especially like the soft footbed - I have two pair and they are a little easier on my feet when my plantar fascitis flairs up. The adjustable straps allow you to customize the fit to your foot. And, this style allows you to wear socks in the winter (they look good with a rag sock). These sandals are great quality and really hold up to lots of wear and tear.

Normally would pick these to wear. A little to hippy dippy for me! But they are super comfy and help with some foot pain I have. I wear them as slippers in the house. Mold to your feet and super soft! I sized down.

Love these, but the black suede colors your feet a little

I got these for my 17 year old daughter & she loves them! They are very comfy and durable!

I have worn Birkenstocks for several years now and never knew they had a "soft" footbed. Wow, what a difference! They feel like house shoes! Never thought I would be one of "those" people who wear sandal with socks, but here I am, because I want to wear these all the time, AND IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!

Definitely my "go to" comfy shoes. You can never go wrong with a pair of Birks!

Great shoe! Definitely recommend the narrow width unless you have a very wide foot. The narrow width has a better fit if you have an average width foot.

My 16 daughter loves these birks! Great service

Comfortable shoe.

Purchased as a gift for my 22 y/o daughter. She is thrilled with them and wears them at every opportunity.
