Great shoes! Love Birks, have worn them forever. The craftsmanship is always the best, and they are the most comfortable!

I love the fast and helpful service from Zappos! If something doesn't work out for me, it is easy and convenient to return a purchase. My new Birkenstock sandals are wonderful, a good look for casual and snappy casual wear. This style is a very comfortable all day shoe.

Purchased these as a gift for my husband. We ordered the narrow width and they fit him better than any other pair of Birkenstocks he has owned. The soft footbed is noticably more comfortable to him as well.

These sandals were recommended by my podiatrist to alleviate for discomfort. The sandals are great, and Zappos' service is the best!

Love these! I got these after first having bought the Birkis that are similar and loved them for several years. I wanted another great shoe and tried these out. The soft footbed is really nice and comfortable. I am noticing that they are wearing better than the other pair too. I will have these for years! Definitely easier on your foot than flip flops too!

My husband loved these shoes. The suede is very soft and easy to wear without that break-in period. The only issue was that we had to add another hole in the front strap to tighten the fit.

Well, now that summer is almost over - I've found the perfect sandal. These shoes are wonderfully comfortable, though they do take a few wearings to break them in. I'm on my feet all day & have had such a hard time finding shoes that don't make my feet/ankles hurt. Birkenstocks may not be all soft and cushy, but someone once told me - they might not be the shoes your feet want, but they're the shoes your feet need.

This is my first pair of Birkenstock sandals and it will not be my last! Another shoe that fits over my high instep! I have always had problems with straps over the top of my foot, not with these. In fact I had to tighten them! They are so comfortable. I wish I had had these a few weeks ago when the temperatures in our area were unbearably hot! I thought they were pricey but a friend has had hers for years so I feel I will be getting my money's worth.

These sandals are the greatest classic of all times. With the soft soles and pliable leather they are a must have.

I have worn Birk Arizona's for years and have loved every minute of them! During the past couple of years I've developed multiple foot problems (arthritis, plantar fasciitis, etc.) and these Birks with soft footbed are like heaven to my feet! I still have foot pain but not as bad as with other shoes. Still love the color and the style and now have a softer footbed to add to the reason I like Arizona's.

Birkenstocks are comfy shows, that's for sure. The soft footbed does have a softer feel, what those in the carpet industry call a soft hand, but they still offer the same solid support and firmness that Birkies always have.

This pair of shoes has improved greatly in cushion support over the ones I bought 4 years ago and replaced with these new ones. A top quality product. Will continue to buy in the future as these wear out. This model shoe i wear more than any other ones I have. I have a dozen pair of shoes.

I love these shoes! I had so much trouble with my feet that I could hardly walk. I have flat feet, a very large bunion and heel spurs and had been wearing nothing but running shoes for about 6 years. I am 69 years old. I have been wearing these for about two years now and most of my pain has gone away! I have never had a more comfortable shoe. Thank you Birkenstock.

My feet are wider than the average foot and I got these sandals to accommodate that but when I put them on they looked more clunky than I imagined they would. I usually order between 7 and 7.5 (7.5 for heels/work shoes, 7 in sandals and sneakers since they stretch and are not too constricting on my foot) and size 38 was about half a size too long on my foot. I'm afraid that the size 37 might be a tad too small, I don't want my heels or toes spilling over the edge. However, it's of great quality - I ordered the antique dune leather color and the leather looks sturdy enough to last for quite a few years. It seems like a shoe you would have to break in and after you did, it would be a comfortable summer staple. The look is just not for me! I'm going to exchange it for the Gizeh style and see how that turns out.

I am diabetic and have neuropathy in my feet. I have always worn Birkenstocks, but last year the cork footbed began to hurt my feet, so I had to give them up. When I saw these soft footbed Birks, I decided to try them. I am so glad that I did. They are wonderful. They fit just like the regular ones, but do not cause me any foot pain at all. I love them.

Sadly, have to return. They seemed a half size too big. 39 was a little too big and 38 was too small. Not sure if unisex is the problem. Maybe this style just isn’t for me.

Wanted and needed these, but the Tobacco Brown ordered came out as a very light sand and I just couldn't. Will try again.

The Birkenstock Arizona softbed is great, but be aware Tobacco color is much lighter than shown in the photos on the website. Wish it were a little darker.

I read all the reviews that said if you have a reg to narrow foot get the narrow.. and people saying they run big and they bought a size smaller and fit. I’m a 6.5-7 mostly a 7 in women’s with no where near wide feet. I ended up returning because with the narrow my foot just barely fit in the size 37 but going up a size (I tried in the store) was way too big. I was about to give up when I finally measured my foot on the box lid and tried the 37 reg and my toes are fitting now. So glad I didn’t give up! My feet don’t agree with the get narrow reviews. And the footbed on the narrow was completely different. Use the size chart feature and save yourself the guess work. I like the sandals, they are comfy once you get it right.

If you are a female, get NARROW. Unisex will feel like an entire size too big due to the width being too big. I ordered the same size (size 38 since I am a women's 7) and they fit perfect!! They are super cute and very versatile. I broke them in after one wear and now I wear them everyday.

You put your feet in them and walk around. They don't fall off unless you walk like John Cleese in the Ministry of Funny Walks. The soft footbed is an improvement over the cement/cork hybrid footbed that regular Birkenstocks are made of.
