Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle - Nubuck Leather

I typically get a new pair of Birkenstock sandals every couple of years so I'm very familiar with the brand. These are the cutest I've worn to date but have to admit the rubber/plastic foot bed doesn't feel as accommodating as the cork I'm used to. I can see the wisdom of the change in regards to not showing a footprint from when your feet sweat, which mine do, but doesn't feel as anatomically supportive as the cork..mind you they don't hurt my feet at all, just not as friendly as cork. Willing to sacrifice for the abundant cute factor. I was reluctant to get black but in real life it's more of a charcoal gray. Love! No problem with width, I take a size 7 no matter what and these fit fine.

Great fit, very comfortable and stylish

Have been wearing Birks for 40 years and these are perfect.

The color of the brown embossed is beautiful! I love the big gold buckles. I took my normal 37 narrow. I do still have to tighten the strap quite a bit. These will look great for Spring, Summer, and Fall!

LOOOOVE my Birkenstock sandals... they are super comfy and stylish. At first they are a little stiff, but it took me y Just one day to break them in... I love them ??

I have many many pairs of Birks and tried to not add more to my collection, but really wanted to try the big buckle style. They were perfect right out of the box as they always are. The leather is sturdy and will hold up. I bought the cognac to wear through the fall. They are very cute and I received a lot of compliments when I wore them today. Very comfortable if you are used to this shoe. It’s all I have been wearing spring summer and fall for many years. Definitely worth the investment as these are a bit more pricy than some.

Very beautiful sandals, well-made, and should last a long time. Same great fit that I have come to depend on since first wearing Birkenstocks when I lived in Germany. Stiffer than suede, so they make take some time to break in...hard to tell yet.

Painful! I wanted to love these, but the big buckle cuts right into the top of my narrow foot. This isn't something that will ever soften up, and I'm sad because the sandals are beautiful and supportive. Kind of a me problem, but also the buckle could be positioned more on the side of the sandal to fix this.

I loved these! Such a pretty fall color and wished I could have kept them. But the nubuck leather was hitting my knuckle by my pinkie toe and it was very hard. I know I would have gotten a blister. wish the leather was softer.

Just received my first pair, have always been a Euro 40 wide but felt too big and tried on with thin socks. Used foot measurer on inside box lid and I'm a 39...go figure?

The “regular” width is a little too wide for me. I’ll be exchanging these for the “narrow” width.

Did not care for buckle.

Loved big buckle and so wanted to love the shoe. But super scratchy and incredibly stiff leather. Felt like would take forever to break in and make lots of blisters in the process

Love the look, wish they had the soft footbed, honestly sacrificed some comfort for style 38 fits my 7.5 feet

I love the color and the price was great. I have a narrow foot, and even though I ordered narrow, after wearing them a few days, they have loosened and now feel way too wide. I guess that’s the nature of Birkenstocks, hard to find a pair that works for a narrow foot.

I did not like the gold buckle. Too shiny and fake looking. I prefer the Madeira style.

I like the look. These are not as masculine as most in my opinion. I am a medium width and took a chance on these narrow being the only option. I'm glad I did, they are more than enough wide and adjustable. I'm usually an 8-8.5 and the 39 fit perfect. So far, they are living up to their reputation and super soft, comfortable, and great for those who need a more orthopedic type of shoe. If you have narrow feet, this is not the one for you fyi. Love them for me.

As along time Birkenstock fan I ordered this sandal because of its awesome color! Too, I really like the colorful soul of this sandal. However, this sandal was less than comfortable. In fact, I found the Nubuck to be downright stiff, rubbing with its steps rubbing over my arch and toes. I understand that some Birkenstocks need some time to be broken in, and, this may be the case with this sandal. However, since a soft bed sandal in the same color and in size was available in my size, I returned this particular pair. Overall, it is a great color and style. But plan on some break in time if you purchase it.

This is my FIRST Birkenstock purchase, from any vendor. And I have been warned it takes a while for them to contour to your feet…Heriberto, after several attempts I have found these to still be hard and uncomfortable. Furthermore, the leather is extremely SOFT and lends itself to being scratched easily. Nonetheless, the way that they look is exactly what I was hoping and was seen on the photos online.

The Material did not feel as soft as the others. This will take a little time to get use to this material.

Fit and comfort are great. I just didn't care for the look of the big buckles on my foot. The materials and color are great. I have very narrow (AA) feet, and the buckles just looked silly in comparison. Too bad. I wish the blue were available in the standard design.
