Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

I had originally ordered the wide version of the soft footbed Arizonas and was uncertain about the fit since my foot seemed to be slipping around in the shoe too much with the buckles on the tightest setting. I do have a wider foot as a female so I thought for certain the regular / narrow version wouldn't fit right, but when I went into a store and tried them on I realized I did need the non-wide version all along. Also, I range between a 6.5-7 depending on the shoe brand and the 37 (6-6.5) in the Birkenstocks fit perfectly.

I wear a size 6 and usually purchase size 37. I bought a size 37 Narrow and they felt big so I returned them and bought the size 36 and they fit perfectly.

I have worn Birkenstocks around the house and casually for thirty years; I put custom orthotics in all my other shoes b/c I have very flat feet. For me, they wear true to size. I'm somewhere between 11 and 12 in US sizes, depending on the shoe; E width, so a little wide. 44 regular works for me in their sizing. The soft footbed sandals are easier to break in; I have worn and worn out four pair of birkenstocks - two pair of Boston clogs, a pair of Milanos (heel strap), and just replaced a pair of Arizonas. If you like a sandal with somewhat more firm leather uppers, look at the oiled or smooth leather models; suede is softer. Suede also tends to get marked up or stained more readily. I haven't tried the synthetic upper birko-flor, don't really see the point in that when these last for years, and leather tends to break in and wear better over time. Trying them on, though, the synthetic uppers are smooth on the outside, soft on the inside, so they're pretty comfortable with no break-in.

This is my first pair of Birkenstock sandals. I ordered them in Black suede with a soft footbed in unisex. Because of my feet swelling I wanted the available extra width. I am in love with these comfortable shoes

perfect color, size and shoe. I have had many that are too big. some too small. I got a 39 narrow this time as i like the look better - no big wide sweep of extra sole at the top

Stunning color. I've worn Birkenstocks for 20 years or more. I have hammer toes so it cringe looking at them, but they are probably my favorite color yet. I have worn mostly this style and prefer suede and soft footbed. I bought the narrow this time and the fit looks much better on me - size 39 - than the 40 which it too big, wide and round at toe - esp in regular. I wear theses shoes everywhere and in the house, (I have indoor and outdoor pairs). I also wear several other styles and this style is my comfort shoe.

I bought the suede unisex soft bed sandal in regular width because I needed extra wide shoes since I have a medical condition where my feet are swelling. These have soft straps that adjust . This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I love them

Fit as expected. Comfortable, my only concern is if the suede stretches.

Super cute just ordered the wrong size

pretty shoe...mysteriously way too big

It took me three times to find the right fit of Arizona birks. I believe the soft footbed is the original fit, which is very comfy, and the unisex regular width is what has the less angled slope allowing my long toes to not hit the edge. I’m so glad to finally find my perfect fit of these classic, comfy and stylishly ugly shoe.

LOVE Birkenstocks! I'm so glad they're "in" again! I got my first pair in 2005 for my 15th birthday and they lasted until around 2020. The suede never had issues, but the sole started separating from the footbed. I purchased the same pair in narrow and they fit like a glove. Such great support for my high arches. There is nothing nicer than the feeling of taking off your hiking boots and socks after miles in the woods and slipping into clean socks and Birkenstocks. I do not have narrow feet, but I feel Birkenstocks run wide, which is why I went for the narrow option.

Live by Birks! My go to when traveling! Perfect for walking and look super cute! I am typically a 6 but ordered them in 5 as they tend to run big!

Great shoe. What I wanted. Easy to order. Got here in time. Excellent!

These are perfect for me.

Bought these as a gift and the receiver loved them!!

love this color. for some reason i find the suede soft foodbeds to be more comfortable than the other ones.

Perfect--great color + comfortable, & timeless style!

Excellent as always.

My son loved these!

I have worn Birkenstocks since I was 22 I am now about to be 80, still buying them and still wearing 'em!

I'm a 10 and I wear a 40 in Birkenstock's. I never loved this style but I just broke my little toe and can't get that foot in a closed toe shoe. I needed a sandal I could wear with warm socks since it's Fall. I ordered these for that purpose only and chose the suede and soft footbed because I didn't want to break in a pair of Birks for a month while I healed and hobbled around. If you've never owned a pair--they suck to break in, but once you do they are SO comfy. After slipping these on my feet I will never get anything but the soft footbead again! They feel great from the first wear. The suede annoys me because I can't just slip my foot in, and that, and the pool, is why I never ordered sueade birks before. I have to use my hands because it's soft and floppy but I needed that soft edge against my toe so it's worth it. And definitely even more comfy that Birk's with more durable uppers.

Daughter loves these.

Awesome ! I LOVE these . Feel so good in my feet

As expected
