Soft straps, but footbed did not work for my foot. I don't think I have long toes, but my toes landed on the ridged part at the end of the sole which was extremely uncomfortable. Returned.

Sadly they were an unmatched pair. The suede not only looked a bit different, but the sizes were different too. I was given 1/2 the cost back to keep them instead of returning, this was appreciated, however they quickly stretched out and now need new holes on the strap for the bigger sized one. The color was so light that the “lavender” is now imperceivable, just looks like tan. Love Birkenstocks… these just were a lemon.

I have very narrow feet and even the narrow was wider than I thought it would be. I had to return it and I bought a Yao instead which I love and wear it every day.

Quality is not consistent. had to re-order for an uneven arch support in left and right sandal. Second pair was good quality.

Roomy enough at the toes but really narrows at the mid-foot under the arch. I was spilling under them there and it was very close and uncomfortable. Leather is supple and the foot bed comfortable enough.

Lavender blush is fabulously neutral and yet feminine. I love the shoes, but here's the thing: narrow is still narrow. Like others with medium-width feet, I need the regular width in Birk. I'm sadly returning them because my toes rub on the edge of the cork.

I have this exact shoe in the blue and they fit perfect. But these are very wide. It's like they are marked narrow but are not really narrow. Sadly, these will have to go back and I will continue my quest for another pair of narrow Arizona Birkenstocks.

Nice shoes but I have a hard time finding comfortable shoes that fit. I found the cork sole hard with support in the wrong places. But I’m hard to please! My sister loves this brand.

I have many pairs of Birkenstocks but this two strap unisex version doesn't fit quite as great as the Mayari for me. Even on the smallest hole, the strap is too loose. But I need the regular footbed due to my toes. There just isn't a size that fits great. Also, the yellow wasn't nearly as vibrant as it is pictured on the website. In person it was much more muted and nearly a neutral.

These were huge all over. A half or full size smaller would have fit better, but even with a better fit, it's a big, wide shoe. The blue color was pretty but sent them back.

I'm much more comfortable in the Regular width Arizona. The narrow width makes my feet my weird sucking noises against the footbed. Even my husband could hear the sucking noises as I walked. PLEASE GET THESE IN THE REGULAR WIDTH!!! The Lavender nubuck is so pretty.

These are so cute. I was really hoping they would fit. I ordered narrow but they were not narrow enough for my feet, unlike the Mayari, which in the narrow fit great.

I bought these for my daughter's birthday since, apparently, Birks have made a big comeback with teenagers (go figure!) I opened the box and had to log in my Zappos account to make sure I didn't order the wrong thing. These are not "really" Birkenstocks. They are listed as such on the Zappos website but the brand on the box, on the footbed and on the buckle is Papillio. Had I looked closely on the website pictures I would have seen it, but I did not. Now it may very well be the same company or what not but I think that if a high school girl wants Birkenstocks for her birthday, she's expecting the Birks and nothing but the Birks. If you don't mind this though, they are really really cute! Can't speak to fit or comfort since they're going right back without being worn.

This is the strangest thing. I've had Birkenstocks for years, but until a couple months ago, I never had Arizonas. So I bought a pair in size 9 (size 40) as recommended on-line in the suede soft footbed. Those were in Moroccan blue. I love them. They seem a bit long and all of my other Birks are 39s, but my toes are at the end of them so I thought maybe I should be wearing 40s. Those are nice and they fit well. But THESE, the very same show but in another color, didn't fit well at all. I set the straps in the exact same place as my previous new pair, but they were gappy between the straps -- didn't look good and felt tight. I loosed them a bit and then couldn't keep them on my feet. So I had to send them back. I'm not sure what was wrong and I would have exchanged them, but I didn't know what to ask for since the ones that fit well were supposed to be exactly the same sandal as the ones I had to send back. I'm thinking of ordering them in a 39, but I'm not sure the size is available in the color I want.

First, I want to say I love Birks but these are narrower than the last pair I purchased. The pair I have are wider and more comfortable than this pair even though they are the same size and width. I realized the pair I have are built on a unisex foot bed. So I must return these even though I love the color :( Will look for a pair like the ones I have in another color. I'm sure other women have found this problem too.

The pair I received had jagged glue joining the side to the footbed. It wound up slicing my foot.

I ordered a size 9, medium width. These shoes were very long and wide; I couldn't even keep them on in order to walk in them.

I was very disappointed in these. They are very good looking and very comfortable. I was happy that a narrow width was offered. They fit very well. However, as I wore these in the house, I developed pain and redness on my left foot 3rd toe where the tab underneath the buckle hit my toe. I will be returning these. This is the second pair of Birkenstocks I have had to return.

I’ve worn Birkenstock for years but current quality seems cheaper. Hardware attaching buckles was not buried in the strap & scratched my toes. I returned them.

I purchased another Birkenstock and kept it...it is totally comfortable but this one has been sitting there waiting for me to make up my mind and the Arizona is great, this one just too small

Birkenstocks do not generally run narrow, but in this case, Narrow means Narrow. Also, the painted flowers on the black background look like someone spilled white paint on their sandals.

The shoes are the expected good quality and fit, but color is only distantly related to red, not as pictured---more of a purplish-pink plum. Would not coordinate with red clothing.

The leather straps are paper thin. Not worth the price!
