The top leather is too hard. It rubbed against the skin and bruised it. Returning.

Love these! My only "complaint" is that they did not come in a Birkenstock box, which makes me nervous even though I know this is a birken dealer. Other than that I am happy with my purchas

My third pair of Birkenstocks! The leather straps on these were more rigid than my previous pairs so if you're looking for softer choose a pair with suede straps. These are worn as my house shoes and I love them!

I have a few pairs of Birkenstocks and I was looking for grey double straps in the soft footbed. The only thing I wished was different about these is the color. The iron color is darker than picture shows and looks almost the same as the black but the comfort is phenomenal! I would recommend these to anyone who is looking for a comfortable, long-lasting shoe that goes with anything!

Can't go wrong with Birks. I'm a fan of the traditional Arizona style. Color was just so so to me. Liked the leather color just wish the buckle was silver but I was willing to settle on this one. I've had them for over a year now and they are holding up great!

I have had a could pairs of Birkenstocks in my life. This is my first with the soft footbed. I am in love! I only wish Birkenstock made all their styles with the soft footbed as I really did not want to get the Arizona style, but that footbed trumped!

Got My sandals today and immediately put them on....well I've had "Birks" before and wasn't surprised when I had to add another hole on all the straps for a better fit....HOWEVER the buckle on my left foot killed me when I walked....I had to take them off and use sandpaper to take the edges off the staples coming through....not real happy about that....but I will continue to break them in....hope I didn't compromise the integrity of the buckle....I had no choice....didn't want to return them....

These were my first pair of Birkenstocks, and they probably won't be my last. I am still breaking them in, but I can tell these will quickly become my go to summer shoe. As for sizing, these run a full size larger. I'm normally size 6. I ordered a 5 and these fit great.

These are great for most feet, unfortunately, due to my sons interesting toe shape(one is much longer than the others and hangs over the edge), these won't work for us. Sandal search continues.

Birkenstocks are great shoes for wide feet. This shoe easily accomodated my EEE width.

Love everything about these sandals except the color. I was looking for a grey. I feel that "Iron" has more brown undertones. Returning for a different color!

Unlike the traditional Birkenstock, the soft footbed has a little less support for the arch of the foot and seems to be quite a bit wider then the original style. Still feels good but quite different if you are used to the traditional style.

The buckle on the upper strap rubs against my bone on both feet. Hope either the leather softens up or my foot toughens up in that spot. Otherwise, a comfortable sandal

I love the look of these sandals, and I have tried so hard to convince myself that they will work for me. But, alas, I have decided they just won't. My left foot, (which is smaller???) feels as though it's in a box that does not conform to the human foot. When I walk and my foot bends, the shoe does not. I am returning them.

I have lived these for awhile but every time I tried them I hated them. Made my foot look sloppy,... Until I discovered narrow. I have a long skinny foot and the narrow made a huge difference. Love them.

Comfortable... color does not match the picture though... More of a brownish color than grey.

The fit was right on, I believe they will workout just fine, I haven't worn them all that much, they do need a break-in period, the new soft footbed is much more comfortable the the old style. I hope this new pair last as long as my first pair (approx.30 years)

I'm not sure trying to break them in but have had two blisters and sore feet. Loved my old pair so sure hope things get better. Thanks.

Seems like it takes awhile to fit properly. I've had these now for about two weeks. The bottom support feels better over time. The top straps are still sort of uncomfortable and would not want to do any long walking with them yet. I hope this improves. I've tried different buckle positions with some success, The part that still is uncomfortable is the lower half of the strap, esp the end where the top strap presses it against the foot. So if and when they fully break in they should be great. I practically live in sandals so what I wear needs to give great support and also great comfort. Why I bought these in the first place.

Delivery on time. Correct product. Fit was perfect (but I already knew it would be). Birk does take time to work in if not used to shoes with straps. The Birk pad feels great, but I have a high arch so the strap takes time to adjust to.
