Customer Reviews Birkenstock Florida Soft Footbed - Birko-Flor™

I absolutely love these shoes! Right out of the box, these shoes felt so right. They are very comfortable with the soft footbed. I hope to be back for more.

Loved the shoe! Comfy and nice looking, I wanted something a little more feminine, in a Birkenstock. I liked buying from Zappos. Quick and easy. Thanks.

Oddly enough I had judged Birkenstocks as being a bit too crunchy/healthy for years, because they didn't look "cute" to me! Then my physical therapist pretty much insisted I get a pair, and we were having good results with learning to walk/stand differently to fix my back pain, so I bought a pair, just over a year ago. Pretty soon became my favorite pair to wear - even for exercise walks, instead of running shoes. Other than a tiny bit too narrow at the top for my next-to-pinky toe, unless I tighten the strap more (I have a really wide foot!), they are so comfortable and so easy to walk in! Yet still slip-on, which is what I'm used to. (I was wearing only Havianas flip flops for anything other than dress up for several years, even in our occasional California rain!) So I went to buy a back-up pair. As usual, I have worn the outside back corner down, and wanted to get either a lift or a new sole, before there was any impact on my back. The lovely owner of our local family-owned Cobbler Shop said I should NOT get another synthetic upper pair, as they wear out so fast - then she pointed out the beginning of a crack in the pair I was going to leave for the sole work. She said - return your new ones, since you haven't worn them, and get the leather straps. So that's what I did. There didn't seem to be that sort of info anywhere here. But if you want your shoes to last for *years* - get the leather, not the birko-flor. Enough people are still eating beef, that avoiding the leather byproduct is not helping any cows - it's just a sustainable practice, even if you are vegan.

Absolutely love the cute floral pattern...they go with a lot. Comfortable right out of the box. I have foot issues as I’m getting older so the soft bed is perfect. I’ve worn Birkenstocks for over 20 years but as I developed foot issues I was afraid I would have to give them up. I ordered the soft bed with some skepticism but they are perfect. I put them on right out of the box wearing them ever since.

The Florida Soft Footbed has been my favorite since I discovered it years ago. The reason: the three adjustable straps offer just enough support but never cut into the top of my foot like the Granada style does. I have a high arch and the Florida allows for that with those three adjustable straps. The soft footbed is just what I need to prevent my planatar fasciitis from flaring up and becoming an issue. I found that I wear a 37 in this style but a 38 (or 7 1/2) in other brands. Still don't know why but at least I found a good fit, eventually. This style is very feminine and each spring they come out with a new color, or print that I can't resist. This style has a slightly green-ish outsole which doesn't really show in the photo but I like it!

I only wear Birkenstock shoes. Very comfortable. I have this same style in a different color. I noticed the shoe was slightly shorter than my previous pair. Will this be repeated in different styles? Also, would like to see more soft bed styles and also more prints.

I love these sandals. I am a 9 narrow and size 39 narrow fits perfectly. The soft footbed is comfy immediately and the flower pattern is very pretty.

I wear size 8 so I ordered the size 39 which states it’s for size 8-8 1/2. (I have long since worn the sizing information off of my Arizona Birkenstock’s) My heel fits comfortably but the shoe is about an inch too long. I have also found that additional adjustment in the center strap would make these more comfortable. I started wearing them hoping that some stretching in the straps would occur to allow my foot to slide further into the shoe but that has not occurred so far. Wish I would have returned for a smaller size originally.

I think these are so cute, but I returned them. The beige color was too light for my liking, so I purchased the green color elsewhere and like them a lot. Fit like other soft footbed Birks. I like the birko flor material since it doesn't stretch out like leather. I have other leather birks but the straps stretch out after a while and the sandal becomes floppy on my feet.

I love these Birks. They’re so comfortable, right out of the box. The fit is true to size. I wear women’s 11 and the 42 Regular fit perfectly. For unisex styles, like Arizonas I wear a 42 narrow.

The Florida style of Birkenstock sandals is my favorite because of the secure feeling of the 3 adjustable straps. The soft foot bed is wonderful. I'm wearing them every day to get them broken in and by the end of the day they feel like part of my feet! I love the heel cup, toe bar and arch support. I have no arches so this support is key. Wonderful style and wonderful shoes.

These are perfect! First time I've owned this particular style. I like the 3 narrow straps - they hold on better than the 2 wide strap style. As for fit, I stepped right into these and even with my very high arch and wider foot, they were perfect. I also love being able to have navy-blue.

This is the second pair of Birkenstocks I have ordered from Zappos. In comparison to the Mayari, the Soft-Footbed of the Florida style is considerably more comfortable and did not take any time to break-in. The footbed of the Mayari took quite some time to conform to my foot and give the level of comfort that the Softbed instantly provided. Comfort and color make this a great sandal.

I love these sandals! They are very comfortable! I also love the flowers on the sandals!

The Birkenstock Florida in the meadow flowers design is a really cute shoe. The color is a vanilla background with multicolor flower print. It is not overly bright and looks great with denim. I already have the same Florida sandal in the khaki.pale green flower pattern - the same superb fit and comfortable soft footbed. I wear a N in Birkenstocks and would like to see a leather/suede in the Florida in my size.

These are perhaps the most comfortable Birkenstocks I own! Comfortable right out of the box (which is unusual for Birkenstocks)! These do run more narrow than most Birkenstocks. I typically require a narrow width, but the medium width fits more like a narrow in this style. These run a size big like all other Birkenstocks I own. I wear an 8-8.5 in a normal shoe and a 7-7.5 in these. LOVE!!

The soft foot bed is the way to go, the regular foot bed is just so stiff and never gets comfortable. I also had the oiled leather Arizona’s, the leather is so difficult to break in and is still uncomfortable to wear after 1 year. Love the Birko-flor. The Florida 3-strap is also much more comfortable to walk in compared to Arizona’s.

I’m a Birkenstock girl and these did not disappoint! Comfy soft footbed and a cute print! What more could a girl want?!?

Love Birkenstock's. Due to the neuropathy in my feet these are the only shoes/sandals/clogs that I will wear. I get the support I need and comfort with the soft foot bed.

This is my first pair of Birkenstock’s and I really like the soft bed. They were comfortable when I put them on and they are really cute! I wear a 71/2 and purchased the 37 and they were a perfect fit.

These are so cute and comfortable right out of the box (unlike the old-school Birks that need a break-in period)! They fit exactly like my 12 year old Arizonas. Sizing is tricky if you're new to Birkenstocks; you have to make sure the toe support and arch support both hit in the right places. I wear a size smaller in Birks than I do in Danskos, which also have European sizing. The khaki is greener than I expected, but still neutral enough to go with a lot of colors.

I’ve had quite a few of these sandals. I love them. One thing to note is that I’m usually a size 8, and in other shoes I wear a size 39. In these sandals the 38 fit fine. I know they say that’s for a 7-7.5. 39’s are too big.

These ran a lot more narrow than other pair I have in narrow. Soft bed is comfortable right out of the box

I am a 7.5 B . I went with the 38 regular width over the narrow and glad I did. The narrow looks a little sleeker but for comfort the regular was the best. Love the soft footbed. Makes break in time MUCH less.
