Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

The Soft Bed Suede Arizona style is the best choice for people with upper and lowed foot problems. i.e. bunions, neuromas and arthritis. I tried the Florida but it was like cardboard on my foot.

I bought the Birkenstock Arizona's for my husband. It was a Christmas gift and I ordered very late. Zappos not only had free shipping but they got them to me on Christmas Eve, exactly as they said they would. Love the shoes, love Zappos, and my husband was thrilled! Great job Zappos, you had the size, color, & great performance!

These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned! I normally wear a 7.5 to 8 in a Nike running shoe, and my feet are average, not wide or narrow. After reading other women's reviews I ordered the 37 Narrow and they fit perfectly. The 38 would have been way too big, so ignore the size chart and go a size smaller if you're a woman! My only complaint is that the taupe suede color looks different online - the actual strap color is less of a brown tan than in the picture, and is slightly more of a green/gray tan color. I highly recommend this sandal to any woman who loves Dansko clogs - they have similar arch support, maybe just a very slightly lower arch.

Great shoe I gave as a gift to my 25-year-old son. The narrow size makes Birks much more attractive to the younger generation who previously mocked my normal versions. The soft footbed is worth the extra money as these shoes last forever with an occasional re-soling job. I'll be getting myself a new pair in the beautiful grey suede color soon.

I normally wear a size 7 shoe. I had ordered a 38 and it was way too big. I exchanged them for a 37 which fits perfect. This shoe is extremely comfortable and it molds to the bottom of your foot. The soft footbed is also very comfortable. I like the color too, it is neutral and matches everything. I have plantar fascia and I have no pain when I wear these shoes. I love them!

Best. Sandals. Ever. The soft footbed on these Arizona's is like walking on silky plush pillows of suede. I've worn Birkenstock for over 10 years now and have only gone through 1 pair since then only needing to replace the cord footbed twice. These shoes are almost entirely maintenance free until the cork begins to deteriorate from wear and tear. Believe me, that will take a few years. Great shoes overall and still my favorite regardless of the 20 pairs of random others in my closet. The only issue I have with them is that they're not fashionable in the winter. That doesn't stop me from wearing them with socks though! Feet rejoice!

Absolutely love my soft toothed Arizona Birkenstocks. I have been suffering from heel pain and was worried with a Disney World trip planned. Walked from morning until the parks closed every day and my feet were great.Tried another pair of footwear one day and sold switched back. They are great! I normally wear a size 7 1/2 or 8 and the size 38 was perfect.I am a 39 in Naots.

I love these! The soft footbed is great. So comfortable for walking in all day! The suede fabric is super soft. I think everyone needs a pair!

I love these sandals. I have a few different colors. One pair was destroyed in the rain and I wanted to take a shot in the dark and try to exchange them. Zappos told me to donate them or thrown them away and they would send me a new pair for free. Can you beat that? I say no way. I love Zappos. These sandals are amazing. What Birkenstock novices need to know is this. The (R) is wide and the (N) is regular. I wear a 10W so the 41R was perfect.

These feel like you've been wearing them for years. I love the Soft Bed, the color (purple), and the comfy suede. The super-soft straps collapse, so it's hard to just slip into them. Solution? My Chinese bamboo back-scratcher with long handle allows me to lift each strap up, one at a time, and slide right into them! NO bending over! The deep impression in the bed of the shoe cradles my foot, so I never twist my ankle any more!

LOVE these. I have low arches and have been struggling with a mean case of plantar fasciitis that no amount of home treatment was curing. I bought these as a desperate measure -- I only say desperate because they're kind of pricey for my budget -- and WOW. Within a week of constant wear, my feet feel amazing. The soft footbed is a huge upgrade from the regular footbed, and these offer the perfect amount of support for someone with almost-flat feet like me. My feet used to hurt from the moment they hit the floor in the morning until day's end, but I give these Birks full credit for curing my foot pain. Love!

Birkenstock are always unisex in sizing. I cannot stand when people make bad reviews about a product that they are not familiar with. All Birkenstocks provide arch support. They are hard soles unless you purchase the footbed. Anyone who says things like "way too hard" just are not made for Birkenstocks.

I have always loved the comfort of a Birkenstock, they are my go to favorites after work and on weekends . The new soft footbed is an awesome addition! My feet easily get tired and uncomfortable in shoes, but never in Birks :). I have 3 pair!

This is a very comfortable sandal. The straps allow for customization which helps the sandal to conform to your feet. I highly recommend this sandal.

I wear these sandals around the house at all times instead of slippers. Have had a lot of foot problems and certain shoes recommended. These are the best, comfortable, easy slide, love them.

I bought these shoes for my daughter in law for her birthday. She absolutely loves them. Thinking maybe I need to order some. These do run large so make sure you order a size down. My daughter wears a 7. I ordered the 37. They fit perfect.

Great shoe overall. Have had many Birk's in the past but the footbed in this pair wore a bit quickly this time.

Bought these for my hubby because one of our boys "borrowed" his old favorite pair of Birks. He loves his new ones and says the new soft footbed is the best. These shoes are "the bomb"...they "rock"...enough said.

Loved my Zappos buying experience. First order was the wrong size, my fault completely. Zappos promptly accepted the return, at their expense, and shipped the correct size no questions asked. Love the sandals, very good price, fast shipping. Will gladly order from Zappos again!

I am a longtime fan of Birkenstocks, and this is my first pair of Arizonas with the soft footbed. That's because my last pair is about 14 years old, before the invention of the soft footbed. They are fabulously comfortable and of course, completely dorky! I have cuter shoes, but when I want to be really comfortable, it must be the Birkenstocks! They do run wide...I wear a 38N in this brand, and a 7 1/2 or 8B in all other shoes.

These are exactly what a Birkenstock is expected to be. Totally comfortable, easy on/off, and great support.

This is for people with somewhat wide feet, but not super wide. I've tried Birkenstock in the past, and it never worked for me. I always felt the regular width was too narrow with an annoying bump toward the back but not at the heel. Tried the wide width and it was too wide. Now Birkenstock seems to have shoes in regular width and narrow width. Plus the soft footbed. So I went ahead and tried again. First off, don't go by the sizes in parenthesis. I went with the 36 marked as 5 to 5 1/2. No way! Huge! Sent them back and got the 35 (4 to 4 1/2) which makes more sense (35 is usually right for me). I'm about a 5 1/2. Fits great -- still slightly long in the length, but works great. And the width is much better than before. Plus the soft footbed is great! Got rid of any possible lumps and bumps built into the footbed that bother me. So the message is if you're like me with somewhat wide feet that didn't work in the old Birkenstock widths, the regular will work great now! And order down a size for sure.

I am very pleased with these sandals. My wife encouraged me to try them, and I'm glad that I did. Highly recommend them to others.

Love them. This is my first pair of the soft footbed, and I don't think I'll go back. Really like the color, too.
