Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed

This was a gift for my daughter. She and I have long been Birkenstock fans. She loves how the suede and soft bed conform to the foot and the grey is quite unique.

great shoe? just didn't like the color, green cast

These are so comfy! They fit well and comfortable on my feet. I wear 8-8.5 narrow, and these are perfect!

These are wonderful, can't them off my feet. The soft footbed and unbuckle make all the difference.

First time purchasing Birkenstock’s & I’m very happy with everything. The muted warm lavender color is a pretty neutral & the suede is nice & soft. I’m a size 7 1/2, prefer 8s in athletics & boots, and the 38 N fit perfectly after loosening the instep a notch. Can’t wait to wear them this summer!

Love the color & style of these Birks. Still breaking them in a little but they’re comfortable and cute.

Love the neutral color and overall quality of Birks!

I wasn’t aware that Birkenstock’s come in narrow widths and they really are narrow. I usually take a size 8/39 but another reviewer who is also a 39 said the 38 fit better. The 38 narrow is perfect.

I have a narrow foot and have always thought birkenstocks looked goofy on me. But I really wanted some better arch support than flip flops. So I found styles made just for women, and bought a narrow width. I’m so excited-they fit perfectly, and my feet don’t look gigantic!

These Burkenstocks were a gift to my daughter, who has a somewhat narrow foot. They fit perfectly and comfortably; in fact, she has worn them daily for over a week now!

Alas not a good choice for neuropathy sufferers, not even with the soft nubuck and cushioned footbed, But they are really lovely and classic-looking. The narrower width is actually flattering on me. Very bummed I must return.

Instantly comfortable. My new favorites.

Lovely color and very pretty. Just need the weather to warm up so that I can wear them.

Love these! I haven’t worn Birks in years. I forgot how much I love them. Super comfortable right out of the box. The Narrow width is perfect. Just ordered another pair of Arizona’s in Navy arriving today. Yay!

This shoe was very comfortable! I’ve never owned a Birkenstock, and those who have tried know it’s a different world. But I liked the soft footbed (definitely an easier transition), the very soft suede (buttery), and the location of the straps (comfortably secure/no flip flopping). That said, I ordered the Arizona and the Siena and I’m keeping the Siena. My take? The Arizona was a little more comfortable, and the more iconic Birkenstock look. But the Siena was a little narrower, a little more feminine, and still very comfortable - I just have to start there. And while I picked both in the offered violet/pink, the Siena was vibrant while the AZ was kind of pale/dusty and blended into my foot. I just couldn’t do it. In a different color I might have, but I just felt cuter in the Siena! (And for what it’s worth, I’m a pretty solid size 7 - in the Siena I’m keeping the 37 (per Zappos the 6/6.5). In the AZ I would have kept the 38 (per Zappos the 7/7.5)).

This is my second pair of soft footbed Birkenstocks. I can't go back. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had.

I love this shoe. My second pair. Great arch support. The suede is soft and doesn’t need a break in period like the leather which is more stiff and needs time to soften. I love the lavender color. It’s a very neutral color. Comfortable and highly recommend.

Ahh, the relief! After wearing other shoes for awhile, I found that I had a corn on the inside of my little toe. Since I switched to Birkies, the corn is going away. This particular style is especially comfortable because of the soft foot bed. I love them.

Always love these shoes. Never disappoint.

I wear a size 39 narrow and thats what I ordered the fit is perfect. I love the sued and the footbed is so comfortable. It took about a week to break them in.

The lavender blush suede is beautiful. I have worn Birkenstocks for many years; however, this is the first pair of Birkenstocks I have ordered with the soft footbed and did not know if I would like it or not. It is very comfortable right out of the box!

The color is unique, very pretty, and subdued! The Birkenstock Arizona softbed sandal has always been the most comfortable for me. It gives great foot support, and doesn’t hurt my bunion or toe joint problems.

These are my “go-to” comfort shoes. I have several pairs that i rotate . Love the new color with silver buckles

I've worn Birkenstocks since the early '90's. I wear them every day and have had numerous styles. In the past, with other shoes/brands, I've occasionally worn narrow because my heel is slightly narrow, but generally speaking my feet are regular width. I have always gotten the regular width with Birks. Since the description said there isn't much difference between the narrow and regular widths, I decided to give these a try because I love the color so much (Stone Coin Suede). The first issue was that these are definitely not the soft footbed as described. They were definitely the regular traditional footbed, which was disappointing. When I put them on I put the buckles on the second hole and they were too tight, even if they were to give and stretch a bit with wear. I moved it out one more notch and perhaps that would have worked better with some wear, but the main issue I had was the inside of my big toe rubbed the edge of the footbed wrong. I don't have bunions or anything, so it was a bit surprising. I held the new shoes up to the pair I've been wearing (bottom to bottom) and could see a noticeable difference in the width of the shoe. Generally they stretch out after wearing them a bit, and I tend to prefer to wear them loosely. I considered these might provide more stability, being narrow and tighter, because hey, I'm getting older and heavier, and occasionallyI feel like I loose my footing. Ultimately though, I decided to return. I really hope I'm able to find these again in the same color, regular width, with the soft footbed. As always, thanks to Zappos to the excellent speedy service!

I ordered the 38 and generally wear a 7 1/2N. Because the straps are adjustable, I think they will be comfortable and a good fit. The dusty pink suede is beautiful and soft. Snow on the ground now but I'm all ready for Spring!
