Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed - Metallic Leather

Buyer BEWARE. Poor quality, poor customer service. I purchased my first pair of sandals in the beginning of May (2018) - the Arizona sandal with rose gold straps. I sprayed bug spray on my legs, which subsequently got in contact with the straps of the sandal, and within seconds the rose gold buckles turned silver. Completely ruined. Keep in mind, this is BUG SPRAY we're talking about - a product that is safe for the skin, but is presumably not safe for these sandals...? Unfortunately, as a consumer, I was not made aware of the fact that this product could (potentially) have such a deleterious impact on the quality of the shoe. Most people wear sandals during the warm, summer months when most people would be inclined to use products such as bug spray, sun screen, etc. SO WHY WOULD BIRKENSTOCK NOT MAKE CONSUMERS AWARE OF THIS? I reached out to customer service in hopes that they would be willing to replace the tarnished sandals after failing to provide this information to consumers and they treated me as if I were an imbecile for not knowing that a product that is safe for my skin would ruin a pair of "high quality," very expensive sandals. Do yourself a favor - spend your $150+ elsewhere.

These are very cute! I will put up with a break-in period if I can look down and see this much cute. The copper, or rose-gold as some of my friends called it, is so damn cute and goes with everything! Kind of orangey but it is really, sort of peachy, and then of copper. They look great with white and blue jeans! These need to be worn a lot to break them in. Gently bend them back and forth with your hands. I also found that the leather flap beneath the buckle caught on the tops of my toes and rubbed a bit painfully. But then magically, a week later you will be floating on air and you will have forgotten that slight discomfort which hopefully I am preparing you for. Because you may not have gone to a large Midwest state school where everyone wore Birks, (with socks even), and you were not aware of the breaking in period or that people could be so impossibly dorky. But there you are.

Loved the look but the finish scratches and now is peeling after one week.. returning it for the classic leather one!

I would love to give 5 stars all around however, the metallic on the Birkenstock’s has faded and continues to distress with less than a month’s wear. The sandals are certainly defected and I would like a new pair. This should not happen. Please contact me to let me know how and when you can replace these defected Birkenstock’s. Thank you kindly,

I love these bronze Birkenstock’s. They came with several marks and scratches.

Super Comfortable! Did not need any break in time and so chic looking. I normally wear a size 7-7.5 (38) but sized down for this shoe to a 37 and it fits great.

I LOVE MY GOLD BIRKS WITH WHITE BOTTOMS!!! They are so cute and dress up my everyday summer wear at the office & look great for going out at night! They are so comfortable, I wore them, right out of the box (brought my old Arizona's just in case), for a walking weekend in St. Louis, and they were amazing, no blisters, like walking on air. Soft footbed is the way to go! The gold leather is very soft and supple from the get-go! Some people say they scuff & scratch and they do a little, but it does not detract from their beauty (unless you get up close to them, and who does that??). I've wanted these for a long time and hesitated because I have so many other Birks, including silver, but I am so glad I got them. All my Birks serve a certain purpose, although these now are the only ones I've worn since getting them. They go with everything, shorts, skirts, jeans, they make anything I have on more fun! :-) Plus feel so good on my feet, best part. From a hip 66-year old Grammie, treat yourself and buy these!!

Do not buy these!! I purchased these extremely cute sandals 2 years ago. So comfortable in true Birk fashion but quality was like cheap big box store. Within a couple months of use... not even everyday use... the metallic finish started to wear off! By summer end of the first year in several places on the interior (arch) side the finish was worn off and around the buckles. That fall I reached out to Birkenstock and asked if they had improved the finish because I was so disappointed in the quality. They had no solution, no discount towards a new pair. Basically said sorry to hear that and they didn't know of any problems. By the end of the 2nd summer the shoes looked like shxx despite the footbeds looking pretty new. Needless to say I pitched perfectly good sandals because the metallic finished looked SO SO bad!

As comfy as Birks usually are (this was my first soft footbed and so far so good) with a bit of flair! I know these will show wear more quickly that your run of the mill leather Birks, but I'm excited to have them! They feel easy to throw on and dress up any outfit. I'm a tried and true 7.5 and always a 37 in this brand.

This was my first pair of Birkenstock. I truly love the fit and color. I was prepared to have a breaking in period however the sandals were comfortable when I first put them on. Kudos!

I was in need of a comfy slip-on style sandals that I could dress up or down. These are perfect, added bonus that they make a matching pair for my 5 year old who loves to match with her mama!

Fit great, super cute out of the box. They scratch and scuff VERY EASILY. so much so that in under 2 months of occasional wear, they look awful and can barely be worn in public. Very upset about the poor quality of the finish. If you're going to invest in Birkenstocks, do not get a pair with this poor performing finish.

I've owned many Birkenstocks over the years and these fit just like any other soft footbed birks. I normally wear a 6.5 to a 7, usually 7, and have a normal to wide foot. I ordered the size 37 in the normal width and these fit perfectly. In my opinion I think that the narrow width in these is for a truly narrow foot or a narrow to medium foot. As far as the copper leather goes, IT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! They came in pristine condition. No scratches! Some of the most beautiful shoes I own! I am gonna go flex on my haters now...

I ordered a size 40, my typical size in Birks. I love these! They are a great way to get your desired Birk comfort, support, and overall style, but with a significant amount of feminine touch, which is often difficult to find in this brand. I typically would not be a narrow fit in Birks and was worried about this, but they fit great. Highly recommend.

These are very cute sandals, but after only four days of wear on vacation, they are very scratched up and the finish has corroded-looking spots. The finish is not durable at all. Even the buckles look worn. They are also a bit stiff for Birkenstocks, and not nearly as comfortable as the Gizeh, of which I’ve had several pairs.

These shoes fit perfectly because I know to order a size down. I am typically a 7 in most shoes but I always order a 36 in Birkenstock’s. I also order a narrow in the Arizona style (but can wear the regular width in the thing style). These were a perfect fit. A beautiful shoe. And Super comfortable with the soft footbed. I’m very pleased. This is my third pair of Arizona style. And fifth pair of birks. And of course Zappos is the best ever! I always turn to Zappos first.

Never in a million years did I ever think I would be caught dead in a pair of Birks, but when I saw these bronze ones come out, I had to have them. They are amazing! They look great and they are so comfortable. I wish I had bought the pink suede ones too. : /

This Arizona is comfortable and the color is fun. It looks great with black, navy and red clothing. This is my third Arizona with the soft footbed. They look cute with a variety of outfits. I wear a 9 1/2 shoe and I ordered a 40 narrow. The fit is perfect.

Love these. Just be careful wearing them. Don’t wear them when doing anything too strenuous or they will get scuffed up. I love the copper/rose gold color and white bottom. Took me a few days to break in and once you do it’s totally worth it. I get compliments all the time! They run big so over a half size down. I’m a solid 9.5/10 but I got the 9/9.5 and they’re perfect.

Size 37 was recommended for my size 6.5 foot. I had tried on my daughter’s in this size and they were too big. So ordered a size down. Size 36 fit perfectly.

Love these Birks! Bought them to the Kentucky Derby to put on when I just could stand my heels any longer! Will be wearing them all summer.

I wear Birkenstocks almost every day (especially in the summer months), but I sometimes feel a bit clunky in them. When I saw these, I couldn't believe how pretty and stylish they were. I love the metallic rose gold leather! It dresses up these extremely comfortable shoes that are the best shoe choice for my feet (per my orthopedic doctor). The arch support and adjustable straps across the toes make them perfect for long days exploring and for dinner out.

These sandals are BY FAR my favorite shoes. They got my through my pregnancy, no shoe fit and I would wear these ALL the time. I wore and tore them so much, I thought I’d stop wearing them but I cleaned them up and now with a 13month old later.. I’m still happily wearing my Birks! I have received SOOO many compliments on these shoes - everyone always says something about them! Love is beautiful .. I’ll probably buy another pair next summer! :)) LOVE THEM!!

I get SO many compliments whenever I wear these. They are so comfortable and go with any outfit. The only issue I have is that the gold has gotten pretty scuffed from wear and it stands out more on these than my past Birks, but still really worth it.

Love the color! I am size 8 and bought 38 (which I believe is a 7-7.5) They stretch!
