Size was good but adjusted buckles to tighten as width feels wide. Love the soft suede and color (Taupe).

Every so often I see someone wearing this classic Birkenstock and I think "I should try those, they look so comfortable!" And so I order a pair, put them on, and take them off. They are not comfortable on me, and they just look like duck feet. I really should never try them again! Memo to self....

This is no reflection on Zappos who sold the shoe - the Birkenstock arizona soft suede straps. The straps allow no ease of slipping into them thanks to the limp wimpy suede straps. they don't hold any shape but collapse flat into the footbed leaving your toes the challenge of lifting two straps . Good luck as Marcus from Trepoilla said. The picture does not represent the shoe and my bad I didn't investigate further and only after wearing them for a few days did I discover my error

One problem Zappos must address is the inability to update prior reviews. That said, I felt compelled to write this as an addendum after living with these shoes for a while now. The quality of the product is excellent as expected. My rating is due to the tendency of the sandals to slip off my feet, often at inopportune moments. Even at their tightest strap setting, they still slip off. I even went so far as to punch holes further down to get them tighter, but still they slip off once in a while. This makes them basically unwearable, which is a great waste of money, and a learning experience. I subsequently purchased an inexpensive pair of sandals with a strap around the heel, and wear them all the time. On the rare occasion I put the Birkenstocks on, I regret it all over again.

Unisex in my (ladies) regular size 7 was too large. I returned the item. I won't try unisex again.

I was told to order a size smaller than what I normally wear, but that was still too big. Also, the term “soft footbed” is just not true, not even the slightest bit soft. I’ve always thought Birkenstock’s were hideous as far as there style, but was willing to give them a try for comfort. fortunately they were the most uncomfortable sandal I’ve ever tried on, so I never have to look down at them on my feet.

I have been buying Birkenstocks for many years and have always bought the same size which fit perfectly. These however were at least two sizes too large in spite of being marked with the correct size. Also, the sole appears to be be some kind of cheap plastic. I am very disappointed with the quality considered the price.

I returned this shoe once to change size, but have never gotten it right. It works its way off my foot when I walk. I don't understand since Berkenstock has such a reputation, and for this shoe especially. I have kept it but really can't wear it.

I give up. This is the 3rd pair I’ve ordered. I can’t seem to get a pair that the straps fit on the tightest hole. The last pair, left fit perfect and right was super loose. Apparently I need to go into a store to actually try on before I buy.

Felt like wearing a man's shoe - and I'm not man. I've been wearing Birkenstock Arizona for many years and these feel big and clumsy. Had extra strep holes punched in. Barely helped but now can't return.

Straps are too loose. I can’t order narrow because my foot doesn’t fit correctly in them. The last 3 pairs of regular width, straps are too loose. I’m not ordering again due to this problem.

I have these exact Birkenstocks that I bought about a year ago in a different color. I wanted to get another pair and they are about 1 inch wider. Of course they need to be returned. I guess there is no standard sizing in the shoes. I’m so disappointed.

Too big. I do not consider my self to have a narrow size foot so I ordered the normal size. Way too wide. Go with a narrow fit.

I LOVE Zappos and order all my shoes for my entire family here. I think I received a fake pair of Birkenstock’s (see photos). The straps are NOT suede and I’m not sure they are even leather. The underside of the straps are some kind of black felt. The outside of the straps feel like vinyl.

While the size and width were fine, I found it too hard and inflexible to be comfortable so I will be returning these for credit.

They are defective. One heel is 1/2 centimeter smaller in width than the other. Not wearable. Very disappointing for Birkenstocks. Will try to order again.

I've been wearing Birkenstocks for years and thought these were exactly like my old pair. They look the same, but when I tried them they hurt my feet. The foot bed felt deep and cut into the edges of my foot. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I finally realized that these were "soft bed" Birkenstocks. This style is new to me, in fact I didn't realize it was different from regular Birkenstocks until I tried them, and I found the shoes very uncomfortable. I need to have the regular Birkenstocks, so will have to try again.

I can’t believe how wide these are. I have wide feet but these are ridiculously wide.
