Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed

Cute, comfortable sandal.

Still feels a bit wide but super comfortable

I ordered a 36 which fits my 6.5 foot perfectly. 37 are a whole size too big for me. These are suede, which I like, but the color is definitely gray, not a neutral taupe. Keep n mind when ordering that if you wish to wear socks with your Birks, suede makes it difficult. A hard leather allows for slip on ease with or without socks.

Size seems to def have changed for the worse on recent Birk purchases. Sloppy details like excessive glue showing where attached to sole.

I am concerned that the sandals are too wide. I think because of the large size (41), the shoes are wider than they should be. Hopefully I am wrong.

I have a very narrow foot and this shoe was still too wide

Fit fine after returning for a larger size. Sales person insisted I needed a smaller size and sure enough, it was too small when I got home and walked in the living room. Breaking them in now.

These are too cute! Love the color, the comfort of the footbed and width of footbed. The only downside is that the straps were not tight enough for my narrow foot and I had to go to a shoe repair shop and have additional holes punched.

The length and width at the toes and ball of my feet were great. It got really narrow by my arch with a lot of pressure underneath. I was spilling out of the sandal in that area. Lovely color and great quality otherwise. I’ve had Birks over the years and never had this issue.

Super comfortable! Yes, they look crunchy granola but they feel so nice.

These are comfortable out of the box, but as someone who doesn't normally truly need a narrow but can wear one, they're a hair narrow.

I love the more modern look of the ochre color with the white sole. Shoe was comfortable. Great arch support. My flat feet are on the wide side of medium and the narrow seemed to fit well. I ended up returning this pair as I found this same shoe for cheaper off the Birkenstock website. Straps were very soft. Didn't bother my bunion at all.

With Zappo’s help the size was perfect but the top strap rubbed/irritated top of my foot. Adjusting strap did not help. Also, they do not seem to have as much cushioning as my previous 2 pairs of soft soles and were not as comfortable for walking. The color is pretty and Zappo’s service is great!

I ordered in light blue color. It’s not bright light blue, it’s more like dull light blue. The width is wider at toe area. Birkenstock sandals needs to break in to get it more softer. Overall, it’s a great sandals to wear for long time.

This suede Birki felt wider than all my others. I had to adjust to the last hole in one shoe and the next to the last hole in the other shoe and I have wider feet. The buckles on these are cheaper metal which I do not like.

I love these Birkenstock’s! But not so much the white soles which can easily get dirty! Easy to wear right out of the box because of the soft footbed. I’m glad Birks come in narrow so now I can wear them for the summer!

I normally wear a 40 narrow in the classic fit Birkenstocks but in the soft footbed ones I have to go up a size. I wish the shoes came in half sizes because that would solve my problem but they don't. I got these in 41 N since the last pair in the soft footbed I purchased (from Zappos who has wonderful service) was a size 40 and they were a little short on me--thw width in the 40 narrow was perfect though. The problem with the 41's is that they're a little too big both in the length and the width for me--even in the narrows. I love the lilac color--they're really cute and I love the soft footbed. The buckle is stiff and the nubuck leather is too stiff as well. I prefer the suede straps in the sandals but Zappos doesn't have many of them in the pastel women's colors. I'm hoping they break in like my black oiled leather ones did eventually but I wish Birkenstock made more colors in the pastel suede sandals.

I'm not normally a narrow in any shoe, but I find the regular width to be too wide. I'm buckled on the first hole & it's still a little loose. I tried on the narrows in a shoe store & they're actually a better fit for my somewhat wide feet.

Please make more styles like these in the wider width

I love the color- ordered the lavender. everything feels good..even with my bunion....but the material is a bit rough and i got a blister. I guess i need to wear with band-aid for while..till they break in. very comfy on foot bed ! just wish the leather were softer.

Love the looks of these! I might be treating Lilac as a new neutral color for me. My only complaint is the make a noise when I walk. I’m hoping that goes away once the leather gets worn in.

This is my 5th pair of Birkenstocks, all medium widths, and since this style was only offered in narrow, I decided to take a chance. The description states that narrow fits both medium and narrow feet. I felt it was too narrow, so I am sending them back. Now I know. But the sky blue color with white sole is so pretty and summery.

They are very stiff. I wore them around the house for a couple hours and already had the beginnings of a sore spot on the top of my foot just above my toes. I also know that Birks take quite a bit of breakin time, so I’ll be wearing them around the house until it finally warms up around here. The blue color was very nice and such a pleasant change from brown, black, tan, black, brown, etc. I just wish Birkenstock would work with their leather so they were a bit softer out of the box. But overall, they’re a keeper.

This supposed soft footbed did not feel soft to me at all. If you have ever worn truly squishy soft rubber footbed, these would not feel comfortable to you. I had to send them back. Otherwise, I loved them. They should change the footbed to be rubber.

I have many pairs of Birkenstock Arizonas and this one runs wider than the others and was about 1/4 (there wasn't a place to check 1/4) larger than my others. I also did not like the plastic buckles. Though the buckles aesthetically pleasing I decided to return them because otherwise they would become a pair I would not enjoy wearing.
