Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Nubuck Leather

Really cute Birkenstocks! Fit is excellent, especially since you can adjust straps to fit narrow feet. So glad I purchased.

Pretty color but the buckles are plastic. I haven’t worn them out yet and already, like a previous reviewer noted with their pair, the plastic is chipping on the buckle. I am not sure why this orchid colored pair has plastic rather than metal buckles. I agree with other that they look cheap, but I’m more concerned with the look after the plastic chips some more! Returning!

I tried this sandal in the suede leather, the oiled leather and the nubuck , all in the narrow width. The suede sandal fit well & true to size. Both the oiled leather & the nubuck allowed my heel to slide off the side of the sandal. I think the stiffness of the leather prevented the strap from confirming to my foot. The softer suede allowed the strap to ride closer to my foot thereby holding the foot in place. Even though the strap fit close to the foot, the suede was so soft, the strap was comfortable on my foot. I should note, I have a narrow heel. I tried these sandals in the dusty blue, the orchid & the fuchsia tulip. The dusty blue & orchid are softer, very pretty colors. The fuchsia is more vibrant, but a fun color.

love the color and style of these - the color goes with so many things and is a great addition. these are more comfortable than other Birks I’ve tried, but when I got them, they had a weird extra strip of suede that was stiff and hurt my foot. I filed it down and it is okay now. But they should put something between the buckle and your foot - those bother me when I walk - but that may be my foot. i usually wear a 39 in shoes and the 38 was perfect.

I loved the color but my toes hit the ridge on the end of the shoe. Made me think the narrow width was the issue but the pair I wound up with were also narrow (metallic blue) so you never know. I also had to go down a size to a 36 instead of my usual 37.

I ordered in light blue color. It’s not bright light blue, it’s more like dull light blue. The width is wider at toe area. Birkenstock sandals needs to break in to get it more softer. Overall, it’s a great sandals to wear for long time.

Please make more styles like these in the wider width

This is my 5th pair of Birkenstocks, all medium widths, and since this style was only offered in narrow, I decided to take a chance. The description states that narrow fits both medium and narrow feet. I felt it was too narrow, so I am sending them back. Now I know. But the sky blue color with white sole is so pretty and summery.

I’ve worn this style of Birkenstocks before, and the straps have always been such that there are plenty of notches to tighten as the leather stretches out. This style I had to use the tightest notch from the get-go to keep them on my feet. There would be no way to tighten them later without punching a new hole. I returned them because of this reason.

I'm normally a size 7-7.5 on sandals but the Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed regular width size 38 felt 1 full size bigger. I downsized and got the size 37 which is a much better snug fit. I can loosen the strap if needed but the foot length is definitely better and more comfortable walking than the size 38. Color-wise, I love the sandcastle color in nubuck. This color is hard to find and I'm so glad I found it at size 37 even though I'm a 7-7.5 shoe size.

I love the comfort of Birkenstock's Soft Bed sandals and some of the leathers are softer than others- as with this pair. Even though this pair was a Narrow, it was still too wide for me. The width of most Birkenstocks are just too wide. The Francas were probably the best fit, but the thick leather rubbed my toes. Hoping for some better models next year!

Fit and size was ok but the leather cuts into the top of my foot, not soft or suple like nubuck i've bought in the past. Unfortunate because I love them otherwise and the color is what i was looking for, I must return.

I have this exact shoe in the blue and they fit perfect. But these are very wide. It's like they are marked narrow but are not really narrow. Sadly, these will have to go back and I will continue my quest for another pair of narrow Arizona Birkenstocks.

I'm much more comfortable in the Regular width Arizona. The narrow width makes my feet my weird sucking noises against the footbed. Even my husband could hear the sucking noises as I walked. PLEASE GET THESE IN THE REGULAR WIDTH!!! The Lavender nubuck is so pretty.

These are so cute. I was really hoping they would fit. I ordered narrow but they were not narrow enough for my feet, unlike the Mayari, which in the narrow fit great.

Sharp edges on the inside cut into my feet. Very uncomfortable sandal.

Fit and size are great! But the straps are way too hard, stiff, rough, and scratchy. Currently, I think these Birkenstocks are a waste of my money and I cannot wear them. I hope that after several applications of mink oil or Doc Martens Wonder Balsam, the straps will become soft. But I shouldn't have to work so hard to get a pair of sandals that are comfortable and won't hurt my feet. Why can't Birkenstocks come with the soft leather straps to begin with?

These are NOT narrow.

I purchased another Birkenstock and kept it...it is totally comfortable but this one has been sitting there waiting for me to make up my mind and the Arizona is great, this one just too small

Birkenstocks do not generally run narrow, but in this case, Narrow means Narrow. Also, the painted flowers on the black background look like someone spilled white paint on their sandals.

The shoes are the expected good quality and fit, but color is only distantly related to red, not as pictured---more of a purplish-pink plum. Would not coordinate with red clothing.

I think Zappos sent me a used pair. Shoes arrived without a shoe box. Tags were not attached and there were someones footprint in the shoe bed. Last pair as well. And I rarely ever say shoes are not true to size but these are easily 1/2 size larger. Pretty disappointed. I tried these out , really wanted to make them work and now not sure I can even return them

This was my first purchase of Birkenstock. Was really looking forward to the comfort, however I don't think they are for me. The left foot isn't comfortable...the bottom feels too firm...and the right inner strap hurts the inside bone by the arch. Disappointed...might just be my feet/foot. They are so cute...just won't be able to wear unless I try to break them in around the house...we shall see.

I was looking forward to these shoes. I ordered a 37/6 and it fits like a 7/ 8. I am a medium width and the shoe fills very wide.

This is my second pair of the same style of Birkenstock sandals and I love them. I tried a couple different styles but decided to go with the same ones again. My last pair lasted 2 years.
