Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed

I love my Birks!! The ultimate in comfort! The metallic tourmaline color takes them to a whole new level!!

I've worn Birkenstocks for 41 years, the same amount of years I have been a classroom teacher. My feet have never hurt! Here is to two more years!

I really want Birkenstock to work for me, but they do not. My second and third toes are long, and the shape of the toe box just does not cut it for me. Too bad as these are cute!

These shoes are perfect for my bunoins, posture, and slightly flat feet. I own several pair of Birkenstocks and I am in love with them. A friend recommended them to me and I told her they were too ugly. Now they have made great improvements on the styles. They look great with jeans, capris, skirts, or shorts. Zappos is a wonderful distributor, prompt and professional. They are by far the best out there, Go Zappos!

I got these at the very end of summer and only wore them once or twice. My girls and I went to get pedicures today though and I took them with me to the salon (to wear home) - I had at least three people comment on how pretty these sandals were! I bought them because the arthritis in my feet was killer this summer and they are very comfortable and while I was worried they would look clunky - I guess they don't!

How do I love my Birkenstocks? Let me count the ways! From the moment I put them on they are beyond comfortable. For me there was no break in period at all. The straps are sturdy but not so stiff that they rub on my feet. The Soft footbed is indeed soft. I want them in multiple colors!

These Birkenstocks are perfect. The color is amazing- easy to dress up or down. They fit perfectly and are super comfortable.

Love 'em and the soft footbed! Have troubled feet so Birkies are just what the Dr. ordered and Zappos is perfection!

Zappos customer service is excellent and the products are of the highest quality!!I wouldn't shop elsewhere when I have perfection with Zappos!

I have worn Birkenstocks for years. The Arizona model is my favorite. I decided to try the soft footbed because where I work, the floors are very hard. I am on my feet a lot and thought I would try this soft version. The Birkenstocks are so comfortable. I feel like I am walking on a cloud! I loved them from the first time I put them on!

The most comfortable shoes in my closet! I have a narrow foot so this narrow size is a much better fit than the regular. Color is on trend!

The soft footbed is a must for these! They make all the difference if you are doing a lot of walking. The gold hardware on the black leather is also very chic. I was not sure if I was narrow or regular with Birks since I have bunionettes, but after wearing the narrows a few times, they broke in and do not rub on my bunionettes anymore. I absolutely love these!

When my pair of the Madrid (the style with a single strap in the front) finally wore out after ~10 years, I decided to try the Arizona, which has a second strap on the bridge. I'm the type that could never wear flip-flops, so I actually like having the second strap so I don't have to force my feet to try to keep the sandals from slipping off. As for the style, it's simple enough that nothing could go wrong with them.

I ordered the 6-6.5 equivalent because I’m normally a 6.5. They were way too big. Will be exchanging, as they are super cute.

This is such a cute shoe and I love the color, but the shoe is too narrow. Unfortunately the shiny colors only come in narrow. I normally wear a regular and hoped it would fit. Disappointed as I love my Birks.

These look kind of cheap in real life, not a sumptuous metallic leather but more of a flat plastic looking leather. Only available in narrow, which was too small for my feet. Going back but my love for Birks will remain!

Gorgeous shoe, great color. I was in so much pain after wearing them once that I have to return! The arch is what really hurt me.

These are called copper, but the are actually a very light, shiny gold -- not copper, which (to me) would imply a darker metallic color, like the picture shows. They were just too bright for me. Also, they arrived unbuckled, and in the process of buckling them, I scratched one of the straps, so I think they would get scuffed up pretty quickly. They seemed to fit the same as my 12-year-old Arizonas, though, and from what I could tell, the soft footbed seemed to be an improvement on an already great shoe.

I recently purchased these in metallic copper and I love the look of them. The copper instantly dresses up any outfit. The problem, though, is that the leather scuffs SO easily. I’ve worn these three times now and it looks like I’ve had them for years because of he scuffs and scratches. I’m going to buy the cleaning kit and hope that takes the scuffs out, but I’m not holding my breath. And, because I’ve already worn them a few times, I’m no longer able to return them.

I ended up ordering 2 pairs of these sandals in the hope that one would work for me. The first pair came with many blemishes in the otherwise beautiful metallic red color. This color only came in the narrow width and even though it said it would fit those with normal width feet, I felt it was not only narrower but shorter. I then ordered a second pair just to see how they would fit. The second pair came without blemishes but fit even smaller than the first! It would seem that Birkenstock is becoming a victim of its own success. The sizing and workmanship is not consistent. I have worn Birkenstocks for a few years now and have not had this problem before. It's too bad. The metallic finish is truly gorgeous. Please Birkenstock, make all your sandals in the medium width and pay better attention to your quality control.

I bought these for my mom who wears mainly Birkenstock sandals but only in the cuter (sorry, the unisex ones often leave a lot to be desired visually, I'm just saying) patterns and colors. Sadly, those are more difficult to find. Enter these stunners--they're like Birkenstock's version of Dorothy's ruby slippers from the movie version of The Wizard of Oz. HOWEVER, they are SO stiff that they left marks on my mom's feet just from her trying them on. No bueno. I tried them on too to see how hard they truly are and it was really bad like massive blisters and/or cuts into your feet bad. So these gorgeous sandals will be going back. :(

Love this color of the Birkenstock Arizona sandal. Very on-trend. Unfortunately the metallic material arrived cracked, and with obvious blemishes which is unacceptable for this cost of sandals. While I would like to take a chance on another pair, I fear this particular fabrication might just be subpar compared the the regular leather used by Birkenstock. Back to Zappos they go.

I was so excited for these (I ordered the bronze snakeskin). A unique Birk! Unfortunately the staples under the strap rub into my feet and I can't even put them on without pain. I don't know if this is common with the Arizona or just this design.
