Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

These shoes are so comfortable! I am seriously in love with my new Birks! I had to exchange my normal size for a size down and the narrow kind but now that I have to right size, I sm loving them so much! Also, I have to mention how awesome the customer service at Zappos is. I got my new pair within two days and the whole process of returning the big ones was so fast and easy. I am the kind of person to do almost all of my shopping online and I am definitely ordering anything I need/want off of Zappos if they have it from now on.

Amazing shoe! Like walking on clouds; heaven for your feet. Give them 2-3 days to break in, but out of the box they were immediately comfortable. I am a female who usually wears a 7 or 7.5 and regular width, and first purchased a 37R. The footbed wasn't necessarily too wide but the straps were far too loose for my feet. Exchanged it for a 37N, which was significantly better. You definitely want these sandals to be snug so your feet aren't constantly gripping the footbed to make the shoes stay on -- talk about uncomfortable and bad for your feet!

As always, I love Zappos fast shipping! I am very happy with my shoes. I bought a size 8 in narrow and they fit perfect!

These are very cute and comortable but in the right size! Be advised: they are very wide. I have wide feet and ordered the regular, but even that is too wide. Tightening all the way to the last hole looks weird and my feet looked like a hobbit's. I later read that because they are unisex, even wide-footed people should order narrow. The weird thing is that the size 35 does not come in narrow in many styles of the Birkenstock (says "out of stock" but a Zappos representative told me that they don't carry it period for many styles). I am a women's size 6½ and the size 36 is just a tad long, but the 36N might work. Thank goodness for Zappos' awesome customer service or else I would be walking around like Frodo.

I am a new online customer. This was my first order.It was easy, had the right size, style and color.Will order again as soon as I need them.

My mom wore these all through the 80's and early 90's and she said I could have a pair when my feet stopped growing. Well I am 30 and pretty sure my feet are done growing! Very happy with my first pair of Birks, easy and very comfy to wear, not exactly stylish but apparently trendy! They have been great this summer while I've been pregnant and am looking forward to wearing them next summer. Though my mother rocked her Birks with socks back in the day, I am not sure I am babely enough to try.

Love. My Pacific Northwest College student daughter introduced me to the comfort of these "so ugly they're cute" sandals and I'm now an official member of the Birkenstock fan club. So happy these shoes made a comeback from the '90s grunge days.

This is a very comfortable shoe and my first pair of Birkenstocks. They have conformed to my feet and provide excellent support, though they felt a little "hard" at first even with the soft footbed. Would purchase again, but doubt I'll need to any time soon, my husband has used his (lightly, mostly inside for slippers) for the entire time I've known him - 18 years!

I am a longtime Birkenstock customer and was thrilled to be able to find the Arizona on Zappos. After reading the reviews, I decided to go with the "soft footbed" and right out of the box they were comfortable. It's not a squishy footbed but nice compared to the old break in period. I have been wearing them everyday since they arrived. Imitation Birkenstocks do not even come close so just hold out for the originals. If it helps, I am 5'11" and 160 lbs., a size 11 shoe and wear a 42 regular.

I used to hate Birkenstocks because I stepped onto the hard, tough edge of my mom's crusty pair as a kid and wrote them off as uncomfortable troll slippers. After seeing them crop up with new designs and suede details, I decided to bury the 20 year hatchet and buy this pair in Velvet Grey size 38 (US women's 7). THESE ARE AMAZING! They are comfortable and surprisingly stylish in a casual way. I am a true 7, and I would say these are a tad big, but they aren't supposed to fit like a glove, so I like the extra room, it gives my troll feet room to swell on hot summer days.

Love my new Birks! I never knew about the soft footbed till my son and his wife visited from Tokyo. And we're wearing soft foot beds. Even better than the originals. No break in time. Thinking of getting another color soon.

I've wanted to wear sandals for a long time, but needed arch support. These have solved the problem -- I love them. I spent the whole day on my feet today and I can still walk! It did take some experimenting to find the right size. My "official" size (even sized by a professional) worked out to be way too big with these shoes.

This is my third pair of Birkenstock's and these are just as fantastic as the others. I wear a women's size 9 and always order a 39 in Birkenstock. I did read some of the reviews for this particular style and decided to go with the narrow width. I am glad I did so. I have normal width feet, but I guess due to the Unisex sizing, the narrow fit perfectly. Zappos, of course, has wonderful service and I received my shipment the very next day.

Love the sandals but I can't keep them on my feet. I bought this item because I have neuropathy and can't feel my feet & calves. I can't tighten them enough to walk without stepping out of them. I didn't want to add more holes because I would still walk out of them.

I LOVE these shoes. I can't believe it took me so long to get them. The soft footbed is amazing, and a must. I have the clog types, without soft footbed, and it's not as comfortable. Also, I have flat feet, so for anyone else with flat feet, these shoes are great.

I love this pair of shoes! I wear them anytime that I can. I currently have a problem with bunions on both feet. I hesitated to purchase these Birkenstocks/Sandals because of the straps that cross the shoe (possibly rubbing against my bunions). To my surprise, this is not an issue. They are so comfortable and great . I have purchased two pairs of Birkenstocks (Arizona Soft Footbed).

The sandal is the best quality. However, my right ankle was swollen at end of the day. Instead I ordered two pair of Teva brand which support the ankle!

I can walk forever in these shoes. They are are almost like walking bare foot only with a protective cushion and arch support. At the recommendation of other reviews I got the softer footbed and narrow size - even though my foot is not narrow. I also recommend both. In fact, after wearing the shoes a few days, I had to add holes so I could fasten the straps tighter.

I got these sandals for the summer, and I'm obsessed with them! They did take a couple wears to get completely broken in. I went down a size in these too, and I'm so glad I did. They definitely run a little bigger.

Good stuff. I've been in Birks since the 70s. But the soft footbed is the best innovation. Truly a guy sandal that will put the arch back from wearing those flip-flops.

My feet are so happy in these. I went a Birk store and tried on many styles and footbeds and the soft footbed is the only one for me. I LOVE it. The arch support is perfect and these don't have the huge toe bump which hits me in the wrong place. I tried the styles with the hard leather and it rubs the top of my foot and hurts. These will need another hole as I am at the last one and I'm sure the suede will stretch, but that is okay. My husband called them pilgrim shoes - I got black - but I think they look pretty good with my dark blue toenail polish. I don't care. I have a bunion on my left foot and these are the only shoes I can walk normally in until I have surgery.

These are my favorite shoes of all time! I'm usually a 7 but I went a size smaller.(37) I also bought the normal width because I don't have much of an arch in my foot. When I first tried them on I was worried they were too small but after breaking them in they fit perfectly. They're super comfy and my go to shoes for summer! Buy these sandals. :)

I was skeptical on Birkenstocks but these are totally coming back in and the price was so worth it! I have really sensitive feet and everything hurts my arch and the outside of my foot and I blister easily but I have had no issue with these at all. I normally wear a size 9 and my feet are average to slightly wider than average and I sized down to an 8-8.5 and got the narrow size and they are perfect! The soft food bed is amazing. Can't imagine wearing flip flops ever again.

This is my second pair of Arizonas. I wore the first pair for years until they finally wore out. The soft footbed is a nice addition. Very comfy. I love them. I wear a size 8 and the 38 is perfect for me.

Bought Birkenstock Arizona softfoot sandals for my daughter's birthday at her request. After doing some research regarding sizing I ordered size 37 narrow. My daughter wears normally between a size 6.5-7, probably about 50-50 depending on the style. 37, according to birkenstock size charts is for size 6-6.5. She also never wears narrow- is a true standard medium typically, however after researching- narrow was recommended for this style as running wide. It is absolutely true, for the 37 narrow, fit perfectly.She did have to loosen the buckle straps a notch, but I figure as the shoe stretches to conform to her foot that will allow her to tighten it again. The soft footbed makes the sandal comfortable to wear right out of the box.I wanted to spray the suede with a protective coating like used with uggs- but alas, they were immediately taken out of the box and worn, thus no protective spray. It's been about a month and they still look great.We got the jasper color. Very neutral.
