Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Shearling - Suede

I just ordered the proper size (up from 40 to 41). I initially bought my nl. size from Amazon. Had to return as too small. So, ordered up one size from Zappos. I cant wait till they arrive. They are warm and so soft. I see some people have trouble with fur remaining on. I think if they last 2 years or so I would be happy. The fur also helps if you have a little rubbing going on. I ordered both the Arizona style and the Boston.

I love these sandals. They are great for winter. My toes are always cold and this does the trick in keeping them warm, with or without socks. Super comfy, but I doubt if I would wear them in public. They're great for around the house though.

LOVE THESE. Great support and very soft.

I CANNOT wait to get my 2nd pair(!) of these crazy cosy outdoor-indoor Birks in dark fur/suede. I wear my new tan/white fur ones ALL the time, though I bought them for inside slippers. They have the contoured footbed I need for my high arches (I'm a 39N/8.5-9B reg. shoes.) But even in Oct. in northern NM, I can wear these running errands without socks yet. May be kind of crazy to onlookers but THEY are not wearing these. The fur of my first pair has now flattened to my foot shape and altho I assumed there'd be fur loss where the pressure/rubbing is the greatest-heel, ball of foot and big toes-I find after several weeks of almost constant wear the only spot furless is just the ball of my big toe on right shoe, not left. My previous Ugg slippers lost more fur and sooner than these, but after the initial loss they remained pretty much the same for the rest of the time I had them. These may even retain more fur than my Uggs, don't know yet. I think of them as 'prehistoric chic'. As to sizing, after the fur settled into my foot shape the feeling of them being a bit short went away. Now they fit like my regular arizona size. ONLY LUSHER AND FURRIER AND COSIER. I got the dark combo when/if I have to wear socks, I think they'll look better/less conspicuously Cro-Magnon.

My narrow feet love this shearling shoe! The arch support is just right and the adjustable buckle allow for a perfect fit. Great shoe for wearing indoors on a snowy day!

Great shoe. I definitely had to get the narrow and it still is a bit wide. I did see where many said shearling wears off but I inquired and you can send them in and have shearling replaced. I assume there is a charge but will be worth it. Would buy them again!

Love these shoes or should I say house shoes. My feet get so warm that I have to change shoes for a while in order to cool off. These are again wonderful Birkenstock comfortable shoes. Love them.

These shoes are wonderful! I am about to order my second pair, having worn my first pretty much all year, with and without socks, in and out of the house. They have served me more than well. I have an incipient bunion and high arches. I am a fan of the Arizona model and find they fit my feet very comfortably. After the year, there is a bit of wear of the shearling lining in a few spots around the heel cup , but nothing serious enough to make me stop using them. The shearling has compacted with use. I had ordered my first pair in medium; I may order the second in narrow, which is what all my other birkies have been. The medium was not a problem because the straps could be tightened, however. If you like a comfortable, supportive shoe, these are for you.

LOVE them! Having a size 43 is not easy and it is so hard to find a different pair of Birks since all the cute woman styles stop at 42. These are great. I can wear them with funky socks and they keep my feet toasty warm. I have worn Birks all the time since 2006 when I broke a toe. They are the only shoes I wear so hopefully they will consider making some woman styles in 43. Get lots of comments when I wear them.

My favorite indoor slipper shoe. I own many, many pairs of birkinstocks, but this is my first shirking pair. Also ordered the clogs in shearling. Great for indoor winter use.

Love these! They are like a blankie for your feet! I do wish the shearling were a little more substantial,-- but all in all, I am very happy with these! I purchased the narrow, due to my narrow/medium feet - and am glad I did.

First, I want to praise Zappos free shipping both ways, how fast and great the free shipping was. I had to return the first pair, as the liner was cut wrong and hurt my foot, but I only had to wait a day longer, and a new pair was at my door. I have not had a problem with this pair, and wore them out a few times, they are comfortable, and warm. I love Birkenstock, not my first pair and not my last. Thank you Zappos for your excellent service.

I own over 15 pairs of Birkis--these are the best! True to size, very comfortable. I will wear them quite a bit this fall. The shearling fleece is incredible.

I love the shearling idea, very soft. I haven't worn them yet, only tried on, but feel great on. I hope the shearling holds up well, if it does, it's a 5 star product.

Okay, these are by far my favorite pair of shoes I own. I have hard to fit, wide feet and these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. The shearling makes all the difference. I wore them a lot with socks during the winter (much to my daughter's horror). They are warm with or without socks. Even with summer just around the corner, I still wear them quite a bit around the house. Once they "form" to your foot, they are amazing. Highly recommended!

These look so cute in the ad, but I am a size 10 and they make me look like the Abominable Snowoman! Rats, have to return.

These are divine - make me happy every time i slide my cold feet in - ahhhhh warm soft and comfy a hug for your feet and Zappos of course gets them to you lightening fast!

I developed fallen arches due to wearing soft sole Birks on an active vacation. I didn't realize the huge support difference of the soft sole vs. original. Now I can only wear original sole Birks now without a great of pain. I've never found close-toed Birks to fit at all. After being reassured these had the original sole, I jumped to order and have worn them daily for the last two weeks. I love them! I can adjust the straps according to whatever thickness of sock I choose to wear. Fleece socks are great when it's super cold. These are an excellent substitute for the winter slippers I can no longer wear. Order your normal size of Birk sandal and enjoy!

I think the lining requires a sizing up. The footbed felt small and the footbed contours felt off in my normal size.

It was wonderfully soft and snuggly. But I wore them around the house to try them out. It seemed like the shearling under the forefront of my foot was decreasing a lot. That made it uncomfortable for me. I really really wanted to love these shoes.

Very comfortable but a bit too short for me, size 8.5

Great shoe and love the soft gray color. Only complaint is the shearling definitely wears away under the big toe over time.

Size - order a size up with these. I guess due to the shearling lining. These seem wide to me although the little foot emblem on the shoe is filled in which indicates that it is a narrow shoe. The buckles just look huge and I would definitely have to punch more holes in the straps to get them to be tighter. Instead, I'll opt for a different style Birk. Pretty color!

Fit and cuteness were there but the shearling is slippery on your feet!
