Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

Purchased these as a gift for my husband. We ordered the narrow width and they fit him better than any other pair of Birkenstocks he has owned. The soft footbed is noticably more comfortable to him as well.

This was a gift for my brother. It's his fourth pair over 20+ years - he loves them.

These sandals were recommended by my podiatrist to alleviate for discomfort. The sandals are great, and Zappos' service is the best!

I wear my Birkenstocks all day long when I work and the soft footbed really makes a difference. I love these shoes. I am on my second pair, the first ones lasted me about six years of daily use and they hold up very well. I am a size 8½ and I wear the Birkenstocks in a size 38 and they fit me perfectly. Zappos is awesome, I got my shoes much sooner than I expected, and I live in Hawaii. Zappos provides great costumer service.

This is by far the best sandal I've own bar none! Comfy, easy to slip on and off, and simple good appearance are the pros. I would take extra care not to tread on water infested surfaces or on rainy days since the material (sole) is perishable or bio-degradable.

Love them though they are a little too big, should have ordered one size smaller than my actual size. Brings back some great college memories!

I have always loved Birkenstock shoes. This particular style is great because you can wear them with or without socks. That makes them ideal for more than just one season! They are comfortable and stylish, too. Also, I love Zappos!

I took the time to check out what I needed for a great fit. My family has a history of wearing this brand and I have had a good feeling I would enjoy them myself. When I recieved them I tried them on and they fit very well so all that was needed was break them in and I did. I have not been sorry, They are most confortable after only a couple times of use. Ordering them was a breeze. Zappos kept me informed of their shipping progress and then they were waiting for me on my doorstep. It was a low pressure purchase, just the way I like it.

Zappos is my shoe source for life! After reading info. on Bikenstock's website relative to sizing I ordered 43's to replace my old 42's as my regular shoe size has increased since I bought my old Birks years ago. After wearing the new Birks for about a month I realized they were too big. I felt a bit silly asking Zappos if I could exchange the, now used, 43's. The rep. said they didn't normally accept used shoes for return but understood my mistake. They sent out a replacement pair of 42's that day with a prepaid return label for the 43's! Now that's customer service. This company rocks and should be a lesson for all retailers. Happy in my correct size Birks. Eric

This sandal is worth the extra money for the soft footbed. Very comfortable, and very durable. The only problem I had was that they didn't come with enough holes on the straps making them not tight enough, so I just made my own holes. Not a big problem. These sandals are made with a softer material on the straps making them even better. In other words spend the little extra money these sandals cost because it's worth it.

Love these! I got these after first having bought the Birkis that are similar and loved them for several years. I wanted another great shoe and tried these out. The soft footbed is really nice and comfortable. I am noticing that they are wearing better than the other pair too. I will have these for years! Definitely easier on your foot than flip flops too!

My husband loved these shoes. The suede is very soft and easy to wear without that break-in period. The only issue was that we had to add another hole in the front strap to tighten the fit.

Well, now that summer is almost over - I've found the perfect sandal. These shoes are wonderfully comfortable, though they do take a few wearings to break them in. I'm on my feet all day & have had such a hard time finding shoes that don't make my feet/ankles hurt. Birkenstocks may not be all soft and cushy, but someone once told me - they might not be the shoes your feet want, but they're the shoes your feet need.

Though these sandals have a pretty steep price it is well worth it to me. I absolutely love my Arizonas and will not ever wear another shoe. This was my first soft-bed purchase. These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. And as always Zappos' speedy service keeps me coming back. They even ship quickly to my little unknown town n New Hampshire. Zappos is the best!

This is my first pair of Birkenstock sandals and it will not be my last! Another shoe that fits over my high instep! I have always had problems with straps over the top of my foot, not with these. In fact I had to tighten them! They are so comfortable. I wish I had had these a few weeks ago when the temperatures in our area were unbearably hot! I thought they were pricey but a friend has had hers for years so I feel I will be getting my money's worth.

I bought these sandals because I had read in several reviews that people with plantar fasciitis could wear them without pain. Every person is different when it comes to PF, and for me, these shoes did not alleviate the pain. Otherwise they were a great purchase -- looked great, felt comfortable (aside from my PF), and the color went with anything casual.

These sandals are the greatest classic of all times. With the soft soles and pliable leather they are a must have.

I have worn Birk Arizona's for years and have loved every minute of them! During the past couple of years I've developed multiple foot problems (arthritis, plantar fasciitis, etc.) and these Birks with soft footbed are like heaven to my feet! I still have foot pain but not as bad as with other shoes. Still love the color and the style and now have a softer footbed to add to the reason I like Arizona's.

I love these shoes. The fit is wonderful, the comfort level is through the roof, overall perfect shoe for summer.

Birkenstocks are comfy shows, that's for sure. The soft footbed does have a softer feel, what those in the carpet industry call a soft hand, but they still offer the same solid support and firmness that Birkies always have.

I have had a pair of these for a year, and wanted a second pair. The second pair is nothing like the year old pair. The new pair is flimsier and the suede will not last as long.

Order this shoe every two years. Love it, especially with the soft food bed. Zappos has the fastest shipping anywhere. Will always order from them. Thanks Zappos!

Gift for my husband. He loves them and lives in them on the weekends.

Birkenstock Arizona is my favorite, in fact I have 4 pair at present. They are most comfortable especially for those of us suffering from arthritis in our feet. My #1 sandal!
