I own several Birkenstock Arizona style. This was just a new addition, and I love them!

Finally, after trying so many pairs of sandals after foot (bunion) surgery (and I don't like thong styles) THESE WIN! SO comfortable. Great support. As cute and stylish as Birkenstocks can be :) LOVE them. Going back for more!

Birkenstocks are my holy grail footwear. Easy on, always comfortable, always on-trend. I even wear with fuzzy socks when it's chilly! I got the narrow version of these and they fit perfectly and look a little less clunky than the original width. The soft footbed is supremely comfortable right out of the box. Birkenstock spoils me for all other shoes.

I have resisted getting these because, well, they are not the sexiest looking shoe. So many people I know rave about these I just had to try them. Wow! They really are the most comfortable shoes, ever! I wish I could wear them all the time....and they get more comfortable with every wear. Highly recommend...not high fashion for sure, but your feet will thank you.

I’ve been wearing Birkenstock’s for years. They are the only cute option that is also chiropractor-approved.
I'd also recommend:
Michael Kors heels and wedges are very cute and surprisingly comfortable.

Love the color and style. Previously ordered narrow and returned for medium. I wear 8-1/2 and ordered 39. Length is good but had to lunch extra hole in strap to tighten. Now it’s fits perfect.

I love my new birks! These are my first pair and I wanted to know what all my friends were bragging about when they were wearing their birks. I bought the dark grey suede shoes and they fit perfectly! The sandal hugs my foot while supporting my arch. They’re also very cute as well. I wear socks and sandals like a nerd, but I really love my birks! Definitely getting another pair! :)

I love these sandals. This is my fourth pair of the Arizona style, and the second pair with a soft footbed. The contoured and slightly soft footbed makes them so comfortable. I love this style because I can wear them with socks and they become my winter slippers. When the straps stretch I can punch a new hole for the buckle. When the suede gets dirty or the footbed gets slick, I can freshen them up with a bit of sandpaper.

According to the size chart, I was a size 36 but I ended up sizing down to 35 and they fit perfectly. My normal street shoe is a women's 5-5.5 but maybe the unisex sizing is why it seemed to run larger. The soft footbed is really comfy and the sandals broke in after maybe 2 wears. They're really comfortable and cute! It might be a fashion faux pas to wear sandals with socks but I like that I can easily do that with these after wearing flip flops for years, especially when out camping and you just want something to easily slip some shoes on without taking off warm socks. They're supportive and will hopefully last a long time.

I love Birkenstocks and especially, Zappo's. Talked my husband into a pair of B. sandals but his sandals are about 1/2 size too big for his foot. We'll try to poke another hole in straps to keep them from falling off...

I bought the grey in narrow. I don't have narrow feet, but I think it is more of a women's fit rather than the medium. 39 fit perfect on my size 8.5B feet. They are very comfortable and I love the style. I have been wearing Birks for more than 30 years on and off. Very stylish for N. County Beach Cities in San Diego.

I’m at 8 and ordered a 38. Perfect. I also find that the suede is the MOST comfortable Arizona; it’s the only material I’ll get from now on!

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!

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 usually buy size 7-1/2B shoes, as one foot is 7 and the other 7-1/2. I have fallen arches and have been unable to wear sandals for two years, since I had difficulty finding any that did not hurt my feet. So thinking how Birks mold to your feet, I thought I would give them a try. I ordered size 37 narrow, and they fit perfectly, even though they are recommended for size 6 to 6-1/2. European shoes always run big on me, so I knew to order down. I have worn these for two days now, and no pain! I am delighted to shed the running shoes and socks for the summer months! The soft footbed is wonderful. I may have to get a second pair. Yay!

These are the most comfortable Birkenstocks I have ever owned. I have very difficult and sore feet and these sandals do the trick for fit and comfort. Love the soft footbed and soft leather.

Awesome as always! So happy to go back to a regular width. Much more comfortable than the narrow. Hope they last a long time as they have in the past.

If you have a normal foot, I highly recommend getting the "narrow" width. I ordered the "regular" width and they were way to big side to side - my foot did not fit snugly at all and I had a hard time walking and keeping them on my feet. The Narrow is just perfect.

My foot is a little wide. The normal width worked fine, and the buckles can adjust as needed. I got two pair - the Habana and also the taupe suede.

I wear women's size 12M. Ordered the 12-12.5 narrow, since they are unisex. Fits perfectly. I have the buckles on the next to smallest hole, so if you normally wear a narrow, these will probably be too wide. Super comfy.

The best of the best. The soft footbed is worth the extra cost. The suede leather is extremely high quality and comfortable!

I love Birkenstocks. This is admittedly my 6th pair, but only my second pair of the soft footbed. My last pair of soft footbed was also the Arizona and they lasted about 7 or 8 years. The cork had begun to wear out on the heal. I know that I can have them repaired, but I've always just sprung for a new pair when that happens. This time I decided to get the narrow width because my last pair continued to stretch throughout their life and I finally ran out of room to tighten them. I don't have a traditionally narrow foot, but since these are unisex I think that the medium runs a little wide to accommodate male feet as well and I've found that the narrow fits more like a traditional medium width in women's shoes. I love the soft footbed and probably won't go back. My only complaint is that Birkenstock doesn't offer the soft footbed in all of their designs. I highly recommend these shoes!
