Customer Reviews Birkenstock Florida Soft Footbed - Birkibuc

I needed to return these because the footbed is too wide for my flat, low volume feet. If Zappo’s carried this shoe in a narrow, I would order them... With many of the Birkenstock styles, there are too few holes in the straps for me to tighten the straps down enough to keep the shoes on my feet. However, with the Florida, this wasn’t a problem... On the upside, I have a pair of Birkenstocks with the birkibuc material and I like it. It’s soft against my feet and it seems durable... The mocha color is very neutral and would look nice with many other colors... The Florida is one of my favorite styles appearance-wise.

The moment I placed them on, they were comfortable. I like that they are wide enough for my foot to more naturally rest in and walk since they have enough room. Also, I appreciated the arch support. I did experience a little temporary adjusting to the strap after walking for a while. It caused some dicomfort for a while. I adjusted the straps, and this seemed to help. At this point they no longer cause discomfort. I have had to use these almost exclusively while my toe is healing and they have been very helpful.

If you have trouble with pronation and supination while walking this seems to help. The feel of the footbed is definitely different from the traditional Birkenstock footbed so beware if you are picky about that. It may take a day or two to get use to this footbed. Wear maybe a couple of hours for the first couple of days only before trying to do a full day in these if you have sensitive feet.

Loved the soft bed! I have a high arch and the last strap over the instep rubbed a blister. I am pretty sure that it will be fine after a few wearings.

I really like the soft footbed. I am recovering from surgery, and my foot is pretty tender, so the softness helps. I also like that the straps are adjustable - one foot is still swollen, so I can make the straps looser than the other shoe.

I love Birks, but tbh I wish I had spent the extra $25 to get real leather. I have bunions and the synthetic upper doesn't stretch the way leather would.

I ordered these shoes after trying on a pair that someone else had. They were comfortable and a perfect fit. I ordered these and they are tight and hurt my bunion. Same shoes, different store.

I have had about ten pairs of Birkenstocks over the years, and this is the first time I have felt disappointed in the purchase. It's not the soft footbed--that is great and instantly comfortable, though it will not last as long as the traditional footbed. My problem with this pair is the Birkibuc material. I've worn these daily for a week, and the material is already coming apart, with threads peeling from the felt-like surface underneath the straps, and on one foot the strap is separating from the footbed in the spot where the ball of my foot creases. In short--I'm still a Birkenstock fan, but I regret my choice of the Birkibuc material because I don't think these will stay nice looking for very long.

I have super wide flat feet. The wide is perfect but the arch on the shoes are too high - so high that it hurts to stand. These would be perfect for someone with moderate to high arches - not good for the super flat feet. I love the style.

This isn’t the show that was delivered. But my daughter has to keep it because she needed them for school the next day.

No break-in time needed. So comfortable from the first day.

Buckell it up and have not had to adjust it.

As always, Birkenstocks are reliable fit and quality. Not very flashy, but I just wanted workhorse, every day sandals.

I love Birkenstocks. I have been wearing them longer than most people have been alive. I just need more arch support these days, but will always have a pair or 2 of Birds.

I had been wearing Birkenstock Florida sandal size 38 for many years, but my elderly feet must have grown. Size 39 I found fits perfect, despite fact I wear size 9 and 9.5 shoes.

I have worn this style of Birkenstock for many years and it keeps my feet pain free from PF and I just love them!

Comfortable right from the start!

I broke my leg and ankle in 2012 and finding comfortable sandals is difficult. These shoes and their Florida footbed are stylish and supportive. Neither the rod in my leg nor the plate in my ankle have bothered me while wearing these.

To be truthful, it is still winter here where I live so I am not wearing them yet. But I've warn them around the house when I received them and they felt great.

Hope they never cease making this style. My mother wore them and now again my generation is too and they are still say style as well as comfort.

A gift to my 90 year-old, she loves them.

These sandals are well made and the leather is beautiful. True to size.

I love Birkenstock sandals, it is all I wear! They are a little uncomfortable for a day or two until you wear them in, then they are awesome.

Shoes are durable and comfortable. I did need to tighten the straps, and hope they don't stretch.

Love. Love. Love. This is my 2nd pair.
