I've purchased lots of Birkenstocks over the years. My last pair of taupe suede Arizonas were made of stiffer suede. I don't think the suede that is used now is the same quality. These were too flimsy to stay on well, though the sale is nice and the footbed wonderful.I will only purchase regular leather or Birki. These were a huge disappointment.

These shoes were USED. They came in a weird box and had clearly been worn as there were top imprints on the bed of the sandal. I'll be returning.

These were to replace a worn out pair of the same color/size. However, the suede is raw and furry, nothing like the black and grey i recently purchased.

The color was disappointing. More olive green. The fit was awful. Birkenstock needs to make more women's sizes and not unisex. If you get the regular unisex, they're too big and if you get the narrow unisex, they're too narrow. I ordered the 8-8-1/2 unisex size and they were almost a size too big. All around disappointing.

These are very soft and comfy! I do like them. The only con is that the straps are suede and they keep falling down. You have to lift the straps to put your feet in each time. They don’t stay up like the oiled-leather.

Birkenstock with the soft foot bed and the suede upper is the most comfortable sandal they make. There is no break in like with the nubuck leather. I will be these again and again.

I've been wearing Birkenstocks for 40 years due to their excellent support and comfort, but the new soft footbeds have made them even better! Once you acclimate to the natural Birkenstock footbed (it does take some getting used to at first, and your first pair should be worn for increasing periods of time over a few days) they not only make your feet feel great, but improve comfort for your legs and low back too. I rarely wear anything but Danskos or Birkentsocks, because as the old ad slogan used to say, "Life is better when your feet don't hurt."

Size snd fit were perfect as I took measurements on the Birkenstock website. For the longest time I resisted Birkenstocks and limited myself to Rainbow sandals which are incredibly comfortable but the Birkenstocks are more versatile and now are part of my closet.

My first pair of Birckenstocks - and I am super happy. I have a bone spur and have been having a hard time finding shoes that don't cause pain. I have been wearing these for a couple of weeks now and my pain is lessening.

I have worn Birkenstocks since 1977, and it's always exciting to get a new pair. I really like the soft footbed (not squishy-soft, but there's a foam layer that provides some cushion compared to the original). I've been wearing nubuck and leather Birks in recent years, and I decided to try the suede again for fall. The dark grey suede is nice and soft, and I look forward to wearing them. I am reliably a Birk 38 regular (38 or 7.5 elsewhere). If you are new to Birks, it might take you a short time to get used to them. I find them extremely comfortable.

I have a few other styles of Birkenstock sandals but have been wanting to try the double strap. I was in the store recently and saw a pair on sale for $89 but they weren't in my size. They ordered my size and shipped to my house. I got the black ones which are so nice and look almost Navy.

I feel like I have a pretty average width foot and based on the reviews and knowing the sandals are considered unisex, I ordered the narrow. Although I never order narrow shoes, I'm glad I did with the Birkenstock Arizona. The narrow fits well. The regular width would have been too wide for me.

Definitely choose the soft footbed. Suede straps will have more gives while oiled leather will take a bit to stretch.

I love my birks. I have classically narrow feet so I will, as usual, drill another hole to tighten them up. Color is super cute.

I have completely flat feet and the arch is perfect for me. I ordered a women's size 11M and my toes were to the edge and the arch was too narrow so I ordered a men's size and they fit perfect.

Softest Birks! I wear an 8.5 and the 39 narrow (which I have come to learn is regular width) fit perfectly. Can’t go wrong with these. The Stone Coin color is beautiful and versatile.

The taupe suede has a bit of a greenish tint to it, so I exchanged them for the sandcastle color, which is more the light tan color I was looking for.
