Classy. Great color combo to go with everything. Not as comfortable as I hoped.

I love the big buckle look. It is a statement piece. They are comfortable and good for casual summer wear.

I have a true "wide" foot and some reviewers had said this style fits a wide foot however the side of my foot slightly spilled over (I have the same issue with chacos) and rubbed on the leather. I also thought the buckles were a little too much (like too big). Otherwise I did really like the color combo.

I loved the fit of this shoe and thought I would love the look, but the big buckle is super gaudy and heavy on the foot so I ended up returning. Also the brushed metallic look of suede had a dirty look to it in low light.

I ordered the narrow and it fit my average 7.5B. The arch support is less than I have remembered on past pairs of Birkenstocks. But they are comfortable and I love the big buckle and color.

I love the look of these Birks and think the buckle is a nice departure from the traditional Birks. However these are a bit too narrow for me. I do not have wide feet but my toes were a bit squished in these shoes. I am a 7 1/2 and ordered the 38 which are too long. I would order a half size down to be safe. My old Birks are a 37 and I should have stuck with that instead of referring to the sizing guide. These shoes are cute and I wish they had worked out.

They didn't feel as true in sizing since they do not carry half sizes as I thought they would. Although I sized up, they felt too big and sizing down did not work and returned them.

This brand is a difficult fit for me. I usually am a size 7 or 37 in a sandal. In this shoe the 36 was slightly too small and the 37 slightly too large. I kept the 37, as I love the style of this shoe with it's adjustable straps and large buckles. If you can wear this brand it is a very attractive and comfortable style.
And , thank you Zappos, for your usual wonderful customer service.

I love the rose color but the buckle for me was just too big (hence "big buckle") so I don't think I would wear because it's too shiny and aggressive. Overall great shoe of course, Birks are the best, just not (these) for me! Thanks Zappos for excellent service!

Absolutely LOVED these sandals but sadly had to return them as they had the wrong buckle on them. These were supposed to have a big gold shiny buckle instead they had a traditional brassy buckle. I was so dissapointed I couldn't get a replacement on these as they are out of stock

These sandals are so incredibly cute (got the metallic rose). The sole is a bit stiff but I'm hoping some reviewers were right about them molding to your foot and becoming more comfortable after a while. I was close to returning them because of that but they're so cute I decided to give them a chance. I wear 6.5 on sandals and flats, and 7 on sneakers. The size 37 fit perfectly

I am always a 7 - 7.5 so ordered the 38 which was way too big - exchanged for the 37 which fits great. Have a couple blisters from top straps after two days of wear, but this has always happened when breaking in Birkenstocks or Mephistos for me so wasn't surprised. Love this "rose gold" color and the big buckle - lots of compliments in two days time!

Very cute, but killed my feet walking around the house. Thank goodness Zappos understands and lets you return and keep trying. My feet are such an issue. Maybe our shoe designers need more education to make shoes that support the foot and look good too.

Beautiful sandal for summer. Have not wore it yet. Seems comfortable. Thought the inside sole would be material but is not.

Cute shoe but too glitzier for my. Gold buckles are very big and very shiney! Material on insole too slick and size felt a bit too big. I was disappointed. They looked so cute online!

I love Birkenstocks and own multiple pairs. These have a different material for the footbed. They are harder to break in, and therefore slightly uncomfortable for the first few wears. I can imagine they will wear better than the traditional leather footbeds but I’m not sure. At this point they are just broken in and feel good but not as comfortable as my other Birkenstocks. Super cute though.

I’m so sad that my favorite classic Arizona’s have been discontinued (Cocoa Nubuck) and these are a fair replacement. Unlike several styles of Birkenstocks, these do have a cork sole and leather uppers, but they just aren’t the same as the old stock. The big buckles are no joke. They are almost comically large as compared to the strap. Cognac is almost the same as the old cocoa, but it’s just a little off. The insole is fairly slick, but otherwise comfortable. The cream sole is a little off putting, but will do well while out boating rather than my old Sperry standbys.

Although I like the look of this model, the original Birkenstock Arizona in a narrow fits much better than this Birkenstock Arizona Hex. Also the footbed of the Original Birkenstock Arizona feels more supportive.

These are great looking but unfortunately the leather was very stiff and seemed like it would be uncomfortable and would require a lengthy break in period.

After hearing so much about Birkenstocks I decided to try them. Unfortunately, had to return. The ridge in the footbed was not placed well for my foot. I found it forced my toes over top of the end of the shoe when walking. It should have been the correct size; the length of the sandal was definitely not too small. My toes are a bit long, so that may be the issue. Too bad because they are well made. I am a US 10 or 10.5; ordered size 42.

Sandal looked great but the moulded base of the shoe was uncomfortable especially on the side of my foot. I adjusted the strapped and it didn't really help. I was disappointed.

The dark blue oiled leather was just what I was hoping for. However, the foot bed of the shoe is not the usual lining of all my other birkis. This is slick leather feeling and does hold my foot in place. It does not feel safe either barefoot or with socks. It also seems to be at least a 1/2 size larger than my other Arizona sandals. Guess I will stay with the original. sadly I am returning them.

I keep trying this style because I love them but they don't stay on and they squeak. Oh well.

I was sorry to have to return these. But after about 3 wears, the leather overlap which forms from the two straps on top of the foot, started to dig against my talus bone. The leather is very thick, which you would think is a good thing, however, in this circumstance it adds bulk and pressure. It could be the anatomical shape of my foot is contributing, but these were ok initially, so I cannot figure it out. Not LLB's design fault, they just sell this brand. Otherwise, these fit great and were comfortable underfoot. For me, Birkenstock's run long and I always wear a size 7 (38) for my size 8.5 foot.
