Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Leather (Unisex)

I own multiple pairs of Birkenstocks - specifically the soft foot bed versions as I found the regular versions painful. I was super excited that these all white Birks finally came in a soft footbed version. But when these arrived I was super confused because despite being labelled soft…..they don’t feel soft at all. The footbeds look nothing like my other Birks and on these you can see and feel the lump at the arch which causes my feet agony. They also run super wide despite being labelled normal fit! I put them against another pair and they are significantly wider and I have to buckle these to the very inner holes which I usually never have to do. Leather is very stiff and you can just tell these will cause blisters and pain so sadly they are going back. So disappointing!

Leather very stiff ... hurts feet

I like Birkenstocks, you can tell they are made with care and quality. I wanted to see what the WHITE ones looked like, and they seemed to overpower my feet (although they did overall make my feet appear smaller). Plus, I started to worry about keeping them clean. They are also very stiff, but I'm told they loosen up as you wear them more. However, I decided to return these and will look for other white sandals for summer.

I am a long time fan of Birks - they are great. Whats great about this white textured color is you can wipe them off with a towel if they get dirty.

True to size for my Size 13 feet, love the adjustable straps for a customizable fit, and the soft footbed is an added bonus. They will need some breaking in but they are rather comfortable enough out the box and I know they will get better with time and wear as Birkenstocks will need that break-in period to mold to one's feet. I'm a happy customer overall!

You really can’t go wrong with Birkenstocks. I’ve been wanting a white sandal for a long time and really happy I finally purchased. They’re as comfortable as you can always expect with Birkenstock and perfect for spring / summer.

I could live in these sandals! This style usually doesn’t need any breaking in for me. Just a classic pair with a lot of comfort. I get these in white every summer and wear them pretty much every day.

Great support Perfect fit

Perfect fit and great support

Wearing them now

Love Birkenstock shoes and these are no exception. Perfect for summer time!

Another pair of Birkenstocks I loved the minute I tried them on. They didn’t even need to be broken in.

I normally wear 10 in every shoe, but in birkenstocks I always get a 42 9-9.5 and they fit great.

Extremely Comfortable & great cushioning under my arches!! Love the white leather!!

What I expected!

PERFECT

Love these birks, super comfy and great color what the summer

I am a Birkey from way back and wanted a fresh pair of white. They are stiffer than I remember ( seemingly lesser quality leather than the oiled version I have? ) That can happen when mfgrs. try to keep up with explosive demand. The leather has a bit of a texture to them which I was not expecting adding to the quality old vs new question. All and all they are comfortable and will wear in.

very uncomfortable and hard.

True to fit. They were to hard on my feet. not comfortable.

The leather is SUPER stiff and scratchy- not worth $150. Also not great for folks with a tailor’s bunion due to super stiff leather and the stiff edges that hit the bunion even with thr “soft” footbed.

These birkenstocks were so hard and hurt my feet. They never truly molded to my feet and the hardness really overtook the shoe, could have used some cushion. Do not buy if you need some cushion, as I heard there are other Birkenstocks that provide some actual cushion and really mold to the feet. These are forever hard Birkens.. :(

Why can’t I get the size I ordered? A 39 NOT A 40

This was the most uncomfortable pair of Birkenstocks I have ever owned and I have owned a lot of them!! The leather is so stiff it hurts the top of my feet to even wear them. I got them as a gift for my birthday and need to exchange for a pair that doesn't hurt my feet!!
