Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

Love these haven't had a pair in years!!!! Color is much darker than pictured even wearing them outside the color I got was still darker which is not at all what I was after

I find these sandals comfortable but I had to get used to them and it took a few days because the arch support is very high.

Needed to go down a full size. I did not find them too wide when I went from a 37 to a 36. Overall OK, but Naots fit my feet better.

Decent looking sandal with good support. Only problem was that the crossover on the front flap is underneath the flap. The edge of the crossover initially rubbed the skin off the top of my foot. I used moleskin to smooth the edge out. Overall, I think I will really like this sandal.

Love the look of these, but they were way too wide. I have a normal width foot and with the straps cinched as far as they would go, they were still far too wide. I checked several times to make sure they were regular width, and they were.

If you have a narrow foot, or think you might lean narrow, I think I'd suggest the narrow size. I have these on the tightest setting and I've walked out of them countless times in the week I've had them. I've only worn them 3 times, but once they fell off while I was walking down the stairs! I wear a street size 7, ordered a 37 (as per reviews here, excellent recommendation) but the width and maybe height of the shoe is too big. Kind of a bummer. I am going to see what the cobbler can do about adding an extra hole for the buckles.

This is not my first pair of Birkies but it is my first pair of Narrow and Soft Footbed. I always felt the medium was a bit wide, and the footbed was a bit hard. I took the advise of other folks, and It worked out very well. These will be great for a Hawaii and California summer.

Straps were extremely loose making them hard to walk in. Other then that I loved them. Very comfortable. End up just putting an extra hole in my straps. Giving them a tighter fit.

I love the way they look - exactly like picture. I wear a size 6, but in Birks I wear a 36 (which they call a size 5), the buckle on the top towards my ankle hurts my bone when I walk. Hopefully I will get used to it! I love them!

Higher arches beware. With these I've learned that soft footbed Birkenstocks are for folks with flatter arches. My high-arched feet felt no support whatsoever in these. These were also slightly shorter in length than any of the original footbed Birks that I've ever owned. These sandals look great but I'll be returning them for the original footbed Arizona.

I have really hard feet to fit. They're wide and I have plantar fasciitis in one foot and a plate and screws in the other. I absolutely love these shoes. The new "soft" footbed makes all the difference. I've tried the original Birki's but the footbed is a bit too hard for me. This "softer" footbed is just perfect. I love how they form to your foot as you break them in so they are just a perfect fit. My all time favorite Birkenstocks are still the shearling ones I get in the winter. I highly recommend these.

I recently bought the Arizona Birkenstock Black. I had a pair before and they hurt my feet. The wood caused blisters. Also bought a 2nd pair and they were soft but too tight because they do not come in different widths. These are perfect. They are soft also the arch feels good next to your skin. The width is good because they are for men as well as women. I have swollen feet and had a bout with plantar fascia, also have flat feet and these didn't take long to adjust to my feet. They look attractive on the feet. I did notice that the black dye came off on my feet. I do love these sandals I highly recommend them. Four stars because of the dye issue.

When I opened the box they were beautiful! Exactly as pictured! These are my first pair of real Birkenstocks. I definitely have to break them in but the material is of really thick, good quality so I'm pretty sure they're gonna end up being more comfortable than my Rainbows. Oh, and I'm not used to shoes with such a huge arch (arch support) but I'll get used to it.

Love the shoes. I got them in narrow but still need to punch holes in the bands to tighten them enough to stay on my feet. Can't say enough good things about Zappos! Unbelievable service, it's a pleasure to order from them. I shout their praises to everyone.

These Birkenstocks are very good for support; however, you may have to adjust to the support provided. The bed of the shoe is very soft. As a whole I do like the shoe.

My last pair of Arizonas lasted 15 years! My wife ordered the soft bed Arizona this time due to a foot issue that I have developed in my senior years. Needless to say, I look forward to wearing these for the next 15 years.

They are comfortable, but the first time I walked a lot in them I got blisters. Not what I expected after hearing so much about them. I think they're too big, even though I ordered a size smaller than my usual. They are a beautiful dark purple and seem to be good quality.

This is a great comfortable shoe, but... I ordered them in June 2012, so by August 2013 I have worn them maybe 7 months? And the cork in the soles is already cracked, and the rubber bottom of the sole is worn off at the back. Granted, I wear them almost daily, but still, after reading reviews of people who just got their second pair of Birks after having thrown away their first ten-year-old pair, I have expected a little more... My other complaint is that one of the straps suddenly gave me a blister in the middle of my arch - at the beginning of season 2 of my wearing these sandals.

It has been 19 years since I wore a pair of Birkenstochs. The new soft bed does make a difference as to making them more comfortable. I bought them for a trip where there would be a lot of walking and they did the trick. I did break them in before the trip and that made the difference.

I like these shoes - the gray is a good color for winter. But the arch support is just too high for me, even though I got the soft insole. The arch is actually painful after an hour on my feet. Sorry to send them back.

The molded foot bed takes some getting used to, and the upper doesn't quite lend itself to the kind of friction that makes slides stay on well. However, my posture is better in these shoes, and that leaves me feeling better at the end of the day.

These are my first pair of Birkenstock's. So far so good. I have a narrow foot and have buckled them on the tightest setting. The still slip occasionally, but overall I am pleased with them.

I've been wearing Birks for 20 years. A few different styles...so, obviously I love the product. This has been my 1st time with suede. Great color selection! I have to admit they don't give much air flow when hot/humid out. Only negative comment...first time also with soft footbed. Big difference...no breaking in period whatsoever.
