Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

As always, perfect! Both the Birkenstock's and Zappos were perfect. These revamped soft footbed Arizona's replaced the old version. I wear mine out every two years (I have no idea how so many people keep them forever). I don't mind replacing them or the cost because they've been a staple for me for so long. There is no break in time (for me, anyhow) though I was concerned that the new footbed would be a problem. It wasn't. Same size as always and a perfect fit. Now I just need the same in Nubuck. By the way, Zappos is the only place offering a choice of regular or narrow (I need regular), as well as choice of color. You cannot beat free ship both ways, either, and, to top it off, they overnighted them to me. If you've never tried Birkenstock's, these should be where you start, and if you've never tried Zappos, once you do, you'll never shop anywhere else!

So comfortable I love my pair. I’ve had them for years and they haven't fallen apart.

Great Birk! I have a long narrow foot so ordered these in narrow and they fit perfectly. Absolutely love these!

Best sandals ever - I've been wearing Birks for decades. The "soft footbed" option makes an already comfy shoe even more so. If your feet are normal width, order the "narrow" width.

Comfort - My first pair of birkenstocks. I tried twice before and didn't like them, but I finally found the soft foot Birkie. It's comfortable enough to stand on my feet for a long time. Since my feet get cold, I will now focus on a closed pair. (I live in the northeast.)

Completely satisfied - My order arrived very quickly. I gave the look of the shoe a "3" only because I never liked the look of these shoes; hence, this is my first pair. I was desperate for comfort, though, and when my manicurist told me that she has the same foot problems as I do, and the Birkenstock soft footbed shoe resolved all of her issues, then I ignored my bias about the look of the shoe, and took a chance. I'm very happy with my decision.

Waited too long - I've worn Birkenstocks for awhile and finally got my husband to try a pair. I recommended the soft footbed because there is no break-in period. He loves them and says emphatically he wishes he had tried them sooner.

Perfect - They are my second pair. And leave it to Zappos to get me a great price. Happy as always.

My first pair of Birkenstocks. Love them - I am wearing them for a good, supportive sandal that I can wear with warm socks. This will not be my last pair.

Arizona Soft Footbed - This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I love the soft footbed. Much easier on the more sensitive foot. I exchanged the suede pair for the nubuck leather and like it much better. Same soft feel but stiffer. The customer service was terrific. I got the regular width and it fits like a wide width pair of shoes. The size is true also. You won't go wrong with this pair.

Birks are best for those with leg problems - The shoes run true to size, are extremely comfy and best of all are well balanced and help me walk with my bum leg.

Flashback to the 70's - I wore these shoes for over 15 years and I don't remember why I stopped because these shoes are wonderful to my feet. I slipped them on the minute they arrived and haven't worn another shoe since. It didn't seem I needed much break in time and I can walk all day with them without feeling any foot fatigue. These are especially wonderful because I work on cement floors and the footbed gives even support from toe to heal and the soft footbed makes me feel as if I'm wearing slippers!

Very comfy - I have problems with my feet, and have hard wood floors in my house. These shoes give me support and comfort. My only regret is that I waited so long to get a pair! I have medium width feet, but got a narrow, and they fit perfectly.

Always pleased w/ Birkenstock - I needed another pair of Arizonas as my first pair is becoming very tattered (after about 15 yrs). I absolutely love the fit and comfort of a Birkenstock. The quality and workmanship is consistent, the second pair of Arizonas is as well put together and comfortable as the first with little or no breaking in for me.

Great sandals and service - I was absolutely amazed at the speed in which I received the sandals! It was less than 24 Hours- and they fit perfectly!! I will be wearing these comfortable and arch supportive sandals for a long time.

Awesome sandals - My first pair of Birks and I have no complaints. They form to your foot and feel awesome. They feel to your feet as if they are shoes, but are sandals. The dark color looks great with jeans.

True comfort - This soft footbed is much better than the regular footbed in that there is no break-in time. I slipped these sandals on my feet and they felt so comfortable. I got the narrow width and glad that I did because they fit just like a medium width. This Arizona cashmere is a very neutral color, am going to try the soft footbed in a suede color next. As always the customer service at zappos is outstanding!

Love them - finally got the right size - I've been buying Birks for years. I finally realized that I needed the narrow width and this is the first pair that truly fits the best!

Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - My job requires that I am on my feet all day...and in order to not have aching knees and hips, I need a good arch support...these shoes do the trick....I have been wearing Birkenstocks now for 27 years....and the soft footbed is an added bonus. In the beginning I felt I had to change my wardrobe to wear things that looked ok with the Birks, but now I'm happy with those choices as well. I am 60 years old, and my feet look like those of a much younger person....I think it's because I stopped wearing high heels, and shoes for fashion a long time ago...and started wearing shoes for comfort and well-being...Birks... I can take the grandkids to Disney and walk all day with them, including standing in long lines, and still have no problems with my feet...I am a fan!

I love my Birkenstocks! Birkenstocks are the best sandals in the world! I wear a size 6 1/2 and a 37 fit me perfectly. They're super comfortable. I wear mine with and without socks.

Zappos experience - Shoes arrived the day after I ordered; they are what I wanted. They are comfortable and provide good support. Zappos recommendation that I order a narrow for a medium width was good advice.

Both my boyfriend and I wear Birks-we love them. This is the 2nd pair he's purchased. They are extremely comfortable and have a lot of support. They do take a bit to get used to - a little stiff at first, but they do soften up.

Very Comfortable Birkenstock - I purchased these sandals as a recommendation from my foot doctor. These sandals have been great and my feet feel wonderful in them. It took several pairs before the sizing worked out (Thank you Zappos!) but I eventually got it right. The narrows were to narrow and the regular was too wide. I settled with the regular and I punched an extra hole for tightness. It took about 1 week to break them in and then they were perfect. I would definitely buy from Zappos again! Planning to purchase another pair from Zappos for the winter. Great sandal!!! Not crazy about the look but they truly are the most comfortable sandals/shoes I have ever worn. Thanks Zappos!

The best you will have - After searching shoe after shoe I have found gold! I have had ankle fusion and several operations before that also metatarsal nerve op. well now I have suffered with plantar fasciitis bout gave up, but my surgeon said he wears Birkis so thought I would give them a try. Could not believe the difference. That is what I have been wearing since they arrived. Plan on getting several pair and throwing away about a zillion foot pads! Thanks Zappos, you are great best place to shop fast and easy service. Also got some Maryjanes by Earth, also very good!!!

Comfortable - The straps were too loose and needed to be tightened beyond the holes provided.
