Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

Very comfortable & ready to wear without breaking in.

Two of the reasons I love Birkenstocks are: good arch support and availability of narrow widths. I have been wearing them for 40 years. This pair lives up to the brand name. They looked and felt just as they should upon arrival and I am as always pleased with the out of the box comfort.

As a unisex shoe, I find these to run slightly wide. I ordered the Regular on first pass but had to return for the Narrow. I still tighten the buckle. The suede upper is so buttery and the molded footbed is very comfortable. I've tried other brands that look similar and cost about the same but the buckles on those were attached with a rivet that was extremely irritating when the shoe was tightened. With the Birkenstock brand, I never feel the buckle on the top of my foot.

Absolutely love the sandal. My wife bought a pair a few years ago and I just didn't like the looks of them, but I finally decided to give them a try and I love them so much. They are the most comfortable sandal I own and have cleaned out my closet of sandals I have tried in the past and gave them to Goodwill. I love the arch support and their comfort. I originally had a size 43 but have since changed to a size 44 as it actually fits my foot bed better. I purchased the Arizona soft bed Taupe Suede sandal and couldn't be happier.

This is my 2nd pair of Birkenstock’s. The first pair (silver Arizonas) is 5 years old and going strong although the silver leather is pretty scratched up. Thought I’d try the suede this time. It’s definitely more comfortable across the foot and I’m looking forward to getting lots of mileage on this pair as well. I highly recommend Birkenstock’s with the soft footbed because they are so comfortable right out of the box. I usually wear a 9 wide so the 39 Regular is perfect for me.

Soft and comfortable but seems narrower than my other pairs of the same size.

This is my seconds pair of Birkenstocks. I bought these in the Taupe suede color, and they are not only beautiful but also fit like a glove!! My normal shoe size is usually 7.5-8, and my feet are narrow and sandals are always difficult to fit. My Birk size is 37, and the narrow width is great. Perfect fit, incredibly comfortable sandal. Might get them in black.

Very satisfied with the Birkenstock’s and with the prompt delivery!

I’ve only worn these indoors for a few hours each day for a week. Hoping the soft footbed will be kind to the neuroma on my left foot. One negative I feel obligated to report is that one shoe makes an awkward noise (like gas being expelled). Hoping it goes away in time as the shoe forms to my foot.

Great shoes. Really comfortable. However, ordered a size 10-10 1/2 as that is what I wear, but had to return them as they were too large. Ordered a 9-9 1/2 and they fit perfectly.

Love these so much!!!

Classic Birkenstock sandal, plus a softer footbed. These sandals are perfect out of the box, the suede straps are velvety soft and they fit exactly as they should. Looking forward to many adventures with these classics.

Typically with backless shoes/sandals, I order about a 1/2 size smaller and that fits fine. This fit perfectly ordering one whole size down. However, the straps, even at their tightest were not tight enough for me. I had to punch new holes so they would stay on my feet when I walk fast. Now that I've done that, they are perfect. Very comfortable although I have high arches and when I walk sometimes the shoe makes a rude noise where my arch meets the shoe's arch. Gassy feet I guess? I'm hoping that as they stretch out, the rude noises will stop. It's a little embarrassing. Overall, love the shoe. Zappos doesn't have the Arizona in black patent leather so I ordered those from the Birkenstock's site. Those are super cute and basically the same fit as these.

These shoes lasted me quite awhile before the arch and support began to wear down from natural wear and tear. However, before they began to break down, I wore these 2-3 times a week in fall/spring/summer for nearly 2 years. These Birkenstock’s look great with jeans or any casual wear and provide a high level of comfort that won’t leave you with sore feet at the end of the day. Highly suggest buying a pair.

These are my third pair of Birkenstocks... there is no comparison to other shoes. I have lower back pain and the shoes help tremendously. The shoe gets better with time, it pretty much molds to your feet. I still wear all my other birkenstocks, just wanted a different style. The shoes are indestructible, my oldest pair is 10 years old and i still wear them.

This is a great shoe. I had to break them in a bit but now they fit great!

Trendy & very comfortable!

I usually buy size 7-1/2B shoes, as one foot is 7 and the other 7-1/2. I have fallen arches and have been unable to wear sandals for two years, since I had difficulty finding any that did not hurt my feet. So thinking how Birks mold to your feet, I thought I would give them a try. I ordered size 37 narrow, and they fit perfectly, even though they are recommended for size 6 to 6-1/2. European shoes always run big on me, so I knew to order down. I have worn these for two days now, and no pain! I am delighted to shed the running shoes and socks for the summer months! The soft footbed is wonderful. I may have to get a second pair. Yay!

I never thought I would buy a pair of Birkenstocks. Just wasn't my style. But in my search for a shoe for my jacked up feet (I have had surgery on both feet for plantar fasciitis and now have plantar fibromas that are pretty inflammed and irritated. ) I read that Birkenstocks were a good option. I bought my first pair a month ago. Oh my goodness did they hurt trying to break them in. I was so upset and felt I had wasted a lot of money. But I kept wearing them in the house and finally after a week they were perfect and so comfy. They are strictly my indoor shoes. Since they felt so good I decided to buy a pair to wear outside. I chose the Arizona Soft Footbed in Taupe. They were amazingly already comfy out of the box. No breaking in period. I purchased both the narrow and the regular width. The narrow felt too small and gave me no room if my feet swell. The regular is perfect even though the straps are on the last holes. I have plenty of wiggle room. I am a convert. I love the Birkenstock Arizona's and I love Zappo's

Love the comfort and fit of these shoes and, as always, love Zappos fast easy shipping!

These are the most comfortable Birkenstocks I have ever owned. I have very difficult and sore feet and these sandals do the trick for fit and comfort. Love the soft footbed and soft leather.

Love! 4th pair of birks. Love that these are suede. I’m a size 5 1/2 and ordered the 36 narrow and they fit perfectly.

I am a die hard birkenstock advocate and have worn many of the different styles over the years. The softbed Arizona is by far the most comfortable. Like all birkenstocks, it takes a bit to mold to your foot, but when it does, you'll never want to take them off. The taupe color is very versatile and can be worn with everything. This is a classic sandal and, in my opinion, everyone should own a pair!

These are just a little bit too wide, but very comfortable
