Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona EVA Essentials

I returned these because in just a few weeks, with gentle wear, the front started to come apart.

If you wear regular sized birkenstocks these are not the same despite what some reviews say. My birks are a 37 regular so I ordered a 37 in these. I was concerned because they are marked narrow, but other reviews convinced me to go for it. They are narrow... and long. Sadly have to return.

Lavender color is cute but I disagree with everyone who said the narrow size is not narrow. I have wide feet and should have known it would be an issue. The straps fit but the foot bed is not engineered for a wide foot, making all the indentations fall in the wrong place. There’s an awesome Birk measuring design in the box lid where you can see if your foot is a good fit for their “narrow” design. It’s more angled from big toe to small toe rather than a square toe box. One more thing—the material is sort of staticky or clingy and picks up every piece of lint, dog hair or dirt off the floor!!

They say the width is regular/ narrow, but they are too narrow for my medium width feet. I’d love them in the regular/wide width, but you have to wear a size 41 or larger to get that, as they are only available for mens sizes. It’s really too bad.

Fun pink color. Not as comfortable as the single strap Birkis that they're replacing, but they'll be fine summer slippers for around the house.

These fit differently than normal Birkenstock’s. It’s a much softer squishier feel. I kind of expected that though as they are made of different materials. They will be perfect for what I bought them for though and I won’t have to worry if they get wet as I walk through the dewy grass in my yard in the morning.

I really, really liked these shoes...until they broke. I had worn them intermittently for about two months and then the shoe bed cracked and split away from the strap. I own another pair in silver that hasn't done this so maybe it's just a bad pair? Overall these shoes are cute and comfortable. They are much more comfortable to to wear than flip-flops because they have fairly good arch support. I can wear them to run errands and then easily transition to wearing them to the pool. These are fun summer shoes that are a great (and more comfortable!) alternative to flip-flops, I just wish this pair hadn't broken so quickly!

If you’re buying your first pair, size down. I’m a size 7 and my feet are wide. Not enough to order wider sizes but NOT narrow. I had to return, as they looked goofy on my foot in a size 38. They were big and long. I’m not sold on the silver color as well. Looking at the shoes on my feet, they looked cheaper in quality than in the pictures. But I have ordered a smaller size and different color so we shall see. Not ready to give up on them just yet!

I bought these for lawn and garden shoes, something I can wash off when done. The arch support is not as aggressive as regular Birk’s, but it’s ok. They are fine for yard work but I wouldn’t wear them elsewhere. They feel spongy and are not up to everyday wear. Color is super cute!

WHOA! Scuba yellow is like American Cheese yellow, like squirt cheese yellow, like cheesehead hat yellow. Like pretty ugly yellow. Returning for pink....

I really really wanted to love these - unfrotunately they fell flat. The narrow size was not as narrow to me as my arizona style. Therefore to get the right fit the straps would be very tight. Where the material is a light foam, it will not "break in" as leather and suede do - so I foresaw lots of blisters. Price point is great but sadly a return for me.

I really wanted these to work. However, the grommet for the buckles hurt the tops of my feet. Not comfortable without socks which was the intended purpose.

I love the look of these, but have realized that the Birkenstock footbed is cut just too angled/narrow around the outer side of the foot, such that my little toes bump against the edges when I walk.

large button on the inside of the toe strap rubs against my little toe

I am exchanging these because one of the buckles was positioned upside down

Loved the look and feel of these, but couldn't stand the farting noises that happened with almost every step. So sad to have to return these.

If you have bunions these aren’t for you.

Too hard all over to offer any comfort. Maybe walk sand and ocean water then wash and put away would work but not for daily walking at all. Returned.

Sandal length was fine, but this M width ran very wide. I used the tightest buckle hole and they still were very wide. Liked the idea of a Birkenstock that could get wet but these fit nothing like leather Birkenstocks, which i understood they would be different, but not painful. Wore them around the house, on carpet, for an hour and had blisters on both feet at the arch. Too bad because the colors are fun.

I LOVE these Birkenstock because they're teal colored and so comfortable! The sole just cracked after 7 years so I'll need to replace them. Birkenstocks ever!

Ordered 39 vs the usual 40. N width helpful for me. Comfortable. Recommend.

This style runs long, which required me to order size 39 vs the usual 40. This style in N fits much better than the regular width. I typically need N, and am happy with the way the fits and would recommend. This shoe is comfortable.

Love these for wearing around the house instead of slippers, and out to run errands. Great arch support, looks great like the classic Birks. I can wear with socks or without, the Narrow width accommodates both. Easy to clean, does not absorb odor. I wear a size 10 US and ordered the 41. I ordered Black and ordering a second pair in Eggshell.

FYI, a Birkenstock "Narrow" is our medium width, has a solid filled-in footprint on the footbed, and their "Regular" is our wide width, marked by an outlined footprint on the footbed. A lot of people get confused by their sizing but I hope this helps :) I wear their Regular (wide) widths with the outlined footprint on the footbed. Birkenstocks are the only shoes I've worn for a good 18-19 years. The only time I'm not in them is while sleeping and in the shower, so I have had a lot of pairs. I really miss their Papillio line with super cute patterns, such as animal print, floral, stripes, plaids, etc.

I loved the color but the narrow width was too wide for my skinny feet. I had to return them.
