Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona EVA Essentials

Cute, but much more coral colored than the pic on the app, in my opinion. Was hoping for a more pink than bright orange-y pink. Unfortunately, they rubbed on the top of my foot so they’re going back. Photo is accurate color of Watermelon.

I really wanted these shoes but almost didnt order them cause I was confused as to which size to order. (I usually wear a size 8 1/2 in gym shoes or heals, and a size 9 in boots or Uggs). But these Birkenstocks come in an in an inbetween size as a 39 or a 40. And they said they were Narrow. So I took a chance and went with the size 39 Narrow. I'm very happy. The shoes have straps that are adjustable. U can make them looser or tighter. I'm sure if I ordered the size 40 they would fit as well. Cause I could tighten them. My toes do slightly touch the edge of the shoes. But they don't rub or anything. They're very comfortable too. I love the bright hot pink color. And I like that they are waterproof. Soft and Comfortable too. I can even fit socks on with them.

I ordered the Coral and they're very bright, but after almost sending them back I decided bright is cute for summer so I'm keeping them. Also, I'm a true size 7 in all shoes, but as with all of my Birkenstocks the 37 is what fits in these......not the 38 that Birkenstock recommends for size 7. Overall, I think they're really cute and a comfortable alternative to flip flops! Highly recommend for summer!

I have plantar fasciitis and need shoes with a lot of arch support. I started researching sandals with good arch support, that aren't crazy expensive and these seemed to fit the bill. I need them for the beach and the other reviews made these sound perfect since leather birkenstocks shouldn't get wet. I'm also glad I read the reviews on getting the same size as usual although they are narrow. They fit great and have decent arch support, but for someone with plantar fasciitis, you wouldn't want to wear them a ton while walking.

I? love these! They fit so well and without the leather/corkboard material, not much breaking in needs to be done. These give awesome arch support and are very comfortable. All around a great shoe!

I wanted them for around the house support, pool shoe, ease of slipping in. They’re fun (bright yellow), supportive, and easy to clean. Win-win for me!

I like these a lot! I got them to just wear in the house. I feel like they’d also be good pool/beach shoes! The narrow width works well for me—I’ve tried regular width Birks and they were too wide. I am a 9.5 in shoes normally, and the 9/9.5 size works perfectly. I will definitely be purchasing another pair of these to wear outside!

Very comfortable for my feet. I suffer from plantar fasciitis, but these sandals are great. Easy to clean as well.

So lightweight. I’m going to Israel and needed a sandal. I opted for the orange but may get another pair. These may be my new summer slippers as well. Love them!

I really only wear Birks if I’m not in sneakers. This is a problem when it rains and I have had two pairs repaired due to the fact that they got wet a little too often. Crocs don’t fit me properly so they were not a viable solution. I was thrilled to see these sandals. I was concerned that the Birk footbed might not be there in a pair if plastic shoes but since Zappos is so wonderful about returns I had nothing to lose. They were true to my size and the footbed is the same and very comfortable. They are the answer. The colors are terrific. People can’t help but smile at bright yellow sandals on a woman of uncertain age.

Fit true to size. I wear them with socks as the plastic rubs a little on the top of my foot. I enjoy being able to clean them and use them to go outside in the summer garden. Good, practical design for Birkenstock fans.

Great price and nice versatile shoe. They are similar to the material of crocs but they really look nice and you don’t have to worry about water damage.

Cute and comfy. The only complaint is when feet sweat they make farting noises while walking sometimes.

These are not molded quite the same as the normal cork Birkenstocks and the foot shape is a bit different. This model runs slightly longer though the toe moldings are closer to the front of the shoe, the width is the same as my normal/wide sandals, and it has a pointier toe (see photo). I've been tripping over the front of the shoe because it gets caught when I'm walking--not sure if it's the pointy toe or extra length. I can't decide if I'll return them, try a size smaller, or just wear them around the house.

Despite description of “Narrow accommodates both Narrow and Wide widths, these feel very tight.”

For some reason, it seems that the women's colors are only available in the Narrow fit. This shoe is about 1/2 an inch narrower than the regular fit. I have a pinched nerve in one foot that gets aggravated if the ball of my foot is compressed at all, so I wouldn't have ordered these had I known about the width. I'm getting by with just wearing the front strap on that foot a notch looser than the other foot. My reason for getting these is to have a pair that I can wear while puttering around in the yard, watering and such. I didn't want to ruin my leather pair. The upper straps on these do rub on my foot in a painful way, so I just wear ankle socks with them. That doesn't look great, but for puttering around the house and yard, it's okay. I'd love to be able to get the regular width in some of the pretty colors! I do like the light weight and easy to clean material of this pair. The sole of the shoe is comfortable and gives my metatarsal arches the support they need.

Normal...not narrow. I was worried that these were classified as narrow but took a chance and it is all fine. Not sure why they are called narrow...they fit my wide-ish feet the same as my other Birkenstocks. I even lined up the sole to compare. I also saw some questions about if these were "slippery" and I don't feel a slip risk. I wore them on wet grass and wet pavement...I think if you adjust the straps and buckles right, you'll be fine. The bottoms have good traction, same as the normal Birkenstocks tread pattern. I'd say I feel more confident walking around on sandy or wet terrain in these vs. traditional flip flops. Happy shopping!

I have a wide foot & have worn Birkenstocks since the 70's. With their regular shoes, I must order regular/wide because the cupped edges of the cork shoes rubs against the sides of the ball of my foot & is unbearable; whenever I have tried the "Narrow" size (because Birkenstock seems to think us wide-footed gals should only wear Birkenstock's boring core colors), I've had to return them. I read in another review that these were okay for wide feet & they were right! The AVA shoes are made with a softer, more forgiving EVA synthetic material so the narrow size is fine for my wide feet - thank goodness! I have several colors now. These were so light & comfortable, I decided to get them in even basic Black. I hope Birkenstock will eventually get with the times & start making the more fashionable colors in regular/wide. It's so frustrating to not be offered fun colors just because we have wider feet - it feels like discrimination. And yes, I complain to Birkenstock every year with a letter - I hope one day, they will listen.

In regular Birks I wear a 41 but these run big so I ordered a 40 narrow and they are perfect with plenty of room at the toes

Got these for my 10 year old and she loves them so much I found her wearing them to sleep the day she got them!

Such a perfect preteen present! Looking for a cheap alternative with the same name brand to the leather Arizona's with fast growing feet and these are perfect! True to size, fit well on a narrow foot and perfect for post swim practice wet feet or to be out on the boat. The teal is darker in person that on the computer screen.

These EVA Birkenstocks are perfect for wearing around the house, running to the garden, or to and from yoga. I am not a Birkenstock person (prefer Mephisto), but took a chance and tried these in bronze last summer. They seemed a bit harsh/rough at first, but have softened up, and I really, really like them. In fact, I just purchased the silver metallic pair for my 76 year old mother as part of her Mother's Day gift. She also thought they were perfect!

I usually wear a 6-6.5. That was too big. The 5-5.5 fit me perfectly in this Birkenstock.

Love these EVA Birks but they are narrower that a typical Birk. Beware if you have a wide foot or bunions.

I have not tried them on but I bought the same ones in different colors last year and I love them.they are the best things for summer and your feet do not sweat
