Customer Reviews Birkenstock Florida Soft Footbed - Birko-Flor™

I have a high arch; and even with the middle strap quite loose, it rubbed the top of my foot. I never know how to answer the question about size. Because I have several Birkenstocks, I know what size to order, but the EU size is not compatible with my US size. Perhaps that should be a caution for others. I wear a 7-7.5 US size, but a 37 in EU. (Birkenstock says a 37 is equivalent of 6-6.5.) I returned these and got the eighth one of my ever-comfortable Birkenstock Mayaris.

Honestly I thought Birkenstocks were supposed to be the most comfy shoes ever. My previous pairs 15+ years ago were! What has changed? These killed my feet the fist day wearing them? Is it my feet or the shoes? Time will tell....I pray, at this price, it’s just that the shoes need time to break into.

Sadly, I cannot wear the Birkenstock shoes that everyone loves! My foot and Birkenstock just don’t do well together. My foot does not go the same way the shoe does, and therefore my heel goes off on an angle. But don’t take my review as a discouragement. Most people love them. Wish I could wear them..

too stiff for my comfort

These are not as cute as I was hoping, still a little clunky, but that may be because they are a bit large on my foot. I normally wear between 9-9 1/2, but with these I found the 40 was a bit large. I do not normally wear narrow sized shoes, either, but the 39 narrow fit much better on my feet than the 40 regular.

I take a 39 in the Arizona style. This 39 was longer by over an inch and thus the arch was in the wrong place. It hurt. So disappointed.

Funny, I've been wearing Birkenstocks for years, always a 39R, including the Florida style. This is the first time ever, but the strap over my instep was too tight, even at the longest adjustment. I do have very high arches, but this is the first time this has happened to me with any Birkenstock sandals.

Hurt my foot.

I am so disappointed I had to return these "Soft Footbeds." After reading the reviews on the comfort of the soft foodbed I was sold. However, I didn't find the footbed to be very soft or comfortable at all. Also a review stated how the three straps keep the Birkenstock on even while running after the kids and dog. I didn't find that to be the case (without kids or dog). Yes I had the buckles as tight as comfortably possible. I might have just kept them but the arch in the right shoe came up too high and bothered my arch.

I really wanted to like this show, but it was a definite no for me. The 3 straps just weren't comfortable. The width was simply "off", rubbing the sides of my feet in all of the wrong places. These are cute but not the right fit for my foot - these were a return.

This shoe is as advertised...but I felt like I was walking out of it all the time. I need something I can actually run in when needed...besides, there is not enough arch support for me and I could not get inserts to work...even when I ignored the fashion crash they produced.

This is the second pair of Florida Birkenstock that I've had to return. This pair had clearly been worn, and there was a rough edge on one strap that cuts into the side of the foot. My first pair lasted 6 hours and then a buckle broke. I'm trying one more time before giving up on Birkenstock.

First off, this synthetic upper is much more comfortable than the leather. I ordered two sizes in this and still can’t decide which size fits better nor have I decided if they are comfortable enough to keep. I really want a pair of Birkenstock’s and wish I knew if the feel would ever feel totally natural. I have been wearing in the house for over a week and often both my heel and arch hurt. I do have PF so really struggle to find a cute & comfortable shoe. I have had fairly good luck with Taos so may just need to stick with them.

The shoe is cute with the floral design BUT, sadly they don’t seem too comfortable with my bunions. Wish I had returned them before wearing them outside.

I love my Birkenstock Arizonas, but my same size in Florida felt narrow, despite being the regular width. I do not have a wide foot, but the straps were on the last hole. The heel also felt narrow. The style looks more feminine than the Arizona, but I prefer the feel of the Arizona to the Florida. The flower print was cute, but wasn't me.

The support in the arch is STRONG, I am still trying to break these sandals in. The footbed is not soft, and my arch on my right food wishes it was softer and had some roll when you walk. Love the style, adjustable straps and the color is very nice. I hope I can get use to them soon.

My feet are very narrow and the narrow size on the birkenstock is still too wide. Sorry, I liked the sandals

need a bit wider please. Raised border causes significant discomfort on right metatarsal head

I have several pairs of the Birko-Flor Florida Soft Footbed sandal and have enjoyed them all. This is the first one to arrive with the top buckle on the left sandal broken and replaced with a twist tie. Let's try again Zappos.

I have plantar fasciitis and the did not work for me at all.

I've been ordering Birkenstocks for many years but it seems that their sizes has gotten larger. My usual size is 37 but the last two pairs of Birkenstocks that I have ordered have been too big. Will need to return and try a 36.

Super cute!! Usually love birkenstocks. Haven't purchased any for a few years though. These felt very narrow on my foot. They cut up into the side of my foot and were to uncomfortable. Had to return.

Although these fit well and were comfortable, I returned them and kept the Birkenstocks with the leather upper. I was afraid the synthetic straps would cause sweating and blistering.

they are very attractive while the comfort for me not so good but very stylish.

I read all the reviews and ordered my size (8) but they're big. They didn't feel as comfy as everyone says, and maybe it's just me. My husband said, regarding the style, that they looked like the sort of sandals the military would issue, if they issued sandals. He also said they looked like the sort of sandals Reese Witherspoon would wear in Wild. He's a funny guy. My son says they are trending, that Urban Outfitters sells them now and no one knows why (because they're funny looking). Not sure I'll order in a smaller size. Not sure I like them so much.
