Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona EVA Essentials

I wanted to believe the Narrow designation. But these were way too wide for my Narrow-to-Slim foot. Skinny feet people: these are not for us.

Loved these sandals until the right one started squeaking at every step. Practically quacking.

MEH, so disappointed. They fit as if they’re a whole size larger than my regular Birkenstocks and make suction noises when I walk. I want to love them. I want to say something positive so I’ll say the color is great.

I absolutely love these. But they just don’t last. I bought these in April, it’s the beginning of June. They already tore. So when I walk now the toe droops causing me to trip. I need extra assistance in that area, I’m clumsy enough on my own.

I gave the Overall and Comfort ratings only two stars because of the following. I have worn Birkenstocks for well over 20 years. In a regular shoe I wear a 7.5 and in a Birkenstock I have always worn a 37 in European sizes. Zappos website says the 38 is the 7–7.5 in American sizes. I ordered the 38 and even in the narrow it was way too big. I hope someone figures out what size correlates in European and US shoe sizes and corrects the info.

This runs wider than the two other pairs i have purchased through the years. will have to try on in store., had to return.

In the summer, I try to wear Birks as much as I can get away with. I wanted a pair to wear to the beach or park, that won't suffer if they get wet. I had high hopes for these. They look great, are super light, and definitely look waterproof. For me, the arch support needed just a little more than these have. They may work great for you, and I would encourage you to try them for yourself. They are definitely 100x better for your feet than any fit flip flop. Believe me when I say, you pay the price later for wearing cheap shoes in your 20's and 30's. I will keep trying.

Love these shoes. Unfortunately, they came damaged and dirty. Seems like they were used and resold to me. Had to return. Bummer because I used a coupon.

I have ordered several pairs of Birkenstocks and they all make an unpleasant suctioning sound with every step. This happens with the regular cork footbed too. Air gets trapped in the heel and arch of the shoe. I don't understand why everyone is so crazy about these. Wish they offered these in regular width in women's sizes instead of only narrow.

Love Birkenstocks but these sandals are ugly.

Last spring I ordered my 1st pair of these and was so pleased with the comfort and pliability and cushioning. After wearing them out, I ordered replacement pairs in other colors and none matched the 1st in comfort. Went back to the original kaki color thinking that the color was the key. This year's kaki is similarly stiff, hard with little cushioning and unwearable for me. I don't know if the formula has changed but I had to return all of them.

These just weren't comfortable for me! The plastic was too unyielding around the front of my foot. Sorry I have to return these.

I liked the style and they felt comfortable. However, I felt they are overpriced once I received them. I also take a 5/ 5.5 in shoe and sneakers and ordered my size accordingly. They were way too big and wide. Unfortunately, I had to return them.

Very stiff, uncomfortable.

I purchased these in Late March 2019 and did not wear them very often. Just noticed the rubber split on the shoe. They were ver comfortable. I have a few pairs in different colored. I am disappointed that this happened.

With such good reviews, I had high hopes for this sandle to be my outdoor/yard shoe. The metal tab that attaches the buckle to the strap on the underside rubbed on my foot as soon as I put the shoe on. Then I wasn't so sure how safe they would be once they were wet. The have a slick finish on the footbed. Zappos did a great job with fast shipping and very easy return.

The Left shoe was written as same size as the Right, but was actually 1/2 size longer than the Right. I returned these and hope to purchase them again.

Loved the idea of the waterproof Birkenstock, but unfortunately material isn't very comfortable. After wearing for a short walk some sweat caused material to rub against feet causing discomfort. Would not rely on for long walks as I usually count on Birks for--but fine for short jaunts or instead of beach flip flops.

I bought a pair of these for myself and for my daughter to wear to the beach and the pool. I have the leather Arizonas and my daughter has had both the leather Arizona and the thong style EVA and we’ve never had an issue. While these are comfy and cute, they have a serious design flaw. After about a month of wear my daughter’s pair split badly on both sides of both shoes where the band across the toe meets the shoe. Zappos graciously sent me a replacement pair and the same thing happened again within a month of wear. I’ve only worn my pair a handful of times so they are still okay, but I’m hesitant to purchase another pair knowing that I may only get a month of wear out of them before they rip.

Shoe arrived missing a buckle. Otherwise not as much arch support as I was expecting.

Very disappointed in these shoes. I needed some supportive sandals to replace my old under armour flip flops. Thought these would be a good option even though they're pricey however they already look rough after wearing outside only twice. I seriously have nothing but clean patio and pavement around my house and a couple walks around and they seriously look terrible. I took the pictures after I washed them. The foam around the bottom is cracked and stained and appears to be just holding on in the front. These should be $10 not $50. I have many pairs of regular Burks and love them but these were a big rip off. Will not be purchasing more.

I am giving these 2 stars because of the fit. I bought a pair of these in black a year ago in 37N and they fit perfectly. The pair I purchased recently in white in the same size is MUCH too wide for my foot. For reference, I wear a 6.5 regular-width shoe, although my foot is on the narrow side of regular.

These just feel so cheap but they were comfortable

these are super stiff and even in "narrow" run wide

I love Birkenstocks and have multiple pairs. But these are nothing close to what I’m used to. My toes hang over the end of these sandals, and this is due to a different shape from the cork bed Arizonas. The support is also very lacking compared to cork Arizonas. Finally, the materials feel and look very cheap. I can understand the reviews complaining about the durability - these look like the straps will break under the stress of walking quickly.
