Bought the black ones and love them. It's been a number of years since I've had a pair of Birkenstocks but I needed some supportive sandals for this summer and knew where to go. Very comfortable and stylish.

This is my first pair of Birkenstock and I love them. Comfortable enough to wear all day long and they do not cause pain in my arthritic knee. I really liked those in the light blue color for spring but since they are available in narrow width only, I had to go with the navy.

I was initially nervous about wearing Birks since I have rheumatoid arthritis and comfortable shoes - usually meaning shoes with loads of squishy padding underfoot - are a must. However, once broken in, these are more comfortable than any sneaker or sandal I own. They honestly feel like wearing slippers. The soft footbed is indispensable if you have any kind of foot sensitivity because, in classic Birkenstock tradition, there is a break-in period (I tried on a pair of regular Arizonas, with the cork footbed, and they felt much stiffer so I think those first few wears would have been a little tricky for me). When all was said and done, I had to wear these about 4 or 5 times before they really started to form to my foot, I had some tension in my arches and the metatarsophalengeal joint on the outside of my foot at first but that is completely gone now! I think it's possible that wearing them out in the Florida heat helped soften the cork and expedite the break-in process but, whatever did it, I'm grateful. I will never be without Birkenstocks again!

Been over 20 years since I owned a pair of Birkenstocks. Bought these cause I liked the Navy Blue color. First few days aren't the most comfortable, but once you break them in they are a great sandal. Just like I remembered.

These shoes are perfect in every way for my foot problems. I will never get back the arch I had before health problems, but these are as good as it gets.

Great everyday sandals! Purchased for my daughter, who couldn't believe that I wore Birks when I was in college :) I ordered the regular footbed and had to exchange for a narrow. Still felt a bit roomy but she tightened the sandal to its narrowest buckle setting, which helped considerably. Great support and comfort with a laid-back style.

Great shoe! You can tell right out of the box that it has excellent craftsmanship and will last for years. It did take my feet some getting used to because I tend to gravitate towards very flat/unsupportive shoes but I'm very satisfied with this purchase. Can't wait to break them in even more.

I have plantar fasciitis and these work wonders for my feet. I have these in the silver and tan and both match almost everything I own. I find I wear different sizes in birks, depending on the specific style of shoe. But these specifically are true to size. But they are wide even with being true to size. So, If you have narrow to normal feet, definitely order the narrow.

These are my second pair of Birkenstocks in 2 years after I wore my first ones to death! These are the best warm weather shoes to walk around NYC. A little stiff at first but once you break them in they're a dream. I love the metallic silver to add a little style and less "hippy". My foot is on the wider side but the narrow fit fine since the straps are adjustable.

Ordered the Arizona Birk-Flo and Soft Footbed, both in same color and size (38). Aesthetically identical, however I found that the Soft Footbed looked slightly more fitted to my foot and therefore slightly less man-ish/clunky. They are so comfortable that I kept them on in the house all day without really noticing. Looking forward to wearing these in the warmer weather. For size - I have a wider foot and generally wear 7 1/2 (or sometimes 7s). I ordered the regular width and no pinching whatsoever. Highly recommend based on brief wearing.

I have been wearing Birkenstocks for over 25 years. They're always a bit stiff at first, but quickly begin to mold to your feet and start to bend a little when you walk. This pair of Arizona Birko-Flor was comfortable almost immediately! I guess I was expecting the stiffness of leather like my previous pairs, but the straps of this pair were soft from the start. Also, the footbed is softer and the arch support is great! Very happy with my new Arizona Birko-Flor sandals!

Every year I buy myself a new pair of Birkenstocks from Zappos because they are the best and have the best selection!
These did not disappoint!
fashion forward color, style and comfort.
I ordered the wide width which is better for my feet, I can always make them tighter with the adjustable straps.

I was hesitant to buy these Birks because the style is so clunky and I have narrow feet BUT buying the show in narrow and silver made it a trendy update on a classic sandal. The Soft Footbed makes a huge difference as well, wearing these shoes feels as if I am walking on a cloud! I am so happy bought these and so thankful they come in fun colors such as silver!

I love Birkenstock. I am prone to planters factitious and these are the only "flipflop" that I can wear. I just got the Arizona so that I can wear socks with them when I take my dog out for his walks. I also have the Gizeh which are awesome (I have them in white, black and bronze). These are a life saver for those who need arch support in flipflop.

Thank god these are trendy again - I have horrible bunions and these are so comfortable for me. I have them in 4 different colors. The only drawback, different materials are definitely sized differently. Some run very true to size and others run very big. I've found the fluoro styles are running large.

I never thought I would buy these but they are adorable and so comfortable in the summer and to wear around the house. I have narrow feet, and I had no problem with the width.

Love my birks! They're comfortable and my go-to sandals. Usually wear a 6.5-7, so I wasn't sure if the 6-6.5 (37) narrow would fit, but it was perfect. Definitely recommended!

This is my second pair of Arizona Birks - I wore my first pair until there were holes in the soles. They're super comfy, and now super in vogue. I went with the soft foodbed this time, but I kind of wish I'd stuck with the classic. They take longer to break in, but these don't feel as formed to my foot as my old pair did.
