Not a soft shoe bed as described, very hard inner sole. Have suffered from heel pain for over 10 years, this sandal is not good for that, Crocs are better as they offer more cushion for the heel.

This is the third pair of Birkenstocks I have had to return - what has happened to their brand?

This the 4th pair of Birkies I have bought, all size 7, women's. These were sized so incorrectly, they looked like they were for a size 9 or 10.

I bought these shoes on the advice of a friend who said they were very comfortable and could be worn all day without hurting my feet. The first pair I ordered were the 38s, the size I usually wear in European sizes. They were too big, so I returned them and ordered the next size down. These fit OK but the footbed is really hard, even with the arch and toe support. I wore them around the house for a few days and wore them all day (only in the house) thinking they would break in and soften up a bit. No such luck. My feet ached and swelled, oddly enough. So back they go to Zappos. Really, for $135 they should be A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE and not feel and look like I have wooden planks strapped to my feet.

I ordered these at the end of the summer, read and followed directions on breaking them in. After walking around the house for two weeks, I gave up. The real leather is just too tough to break in. Love my other Birkies, returned these.

The thing wrong with pair is that the leather is stiff and feels thick than others I have bought. I am trying to break them in but feel that is not going to happen.

I like this brand and others that are similar.

I love these Birks but unfortunately had to send them back due to staining on the inside of the shoe. Not sure if someone else had worn them or manufacturing mishap? Definitely Disappointed !!

These sandals suction air causing a fart-like sound every time you take a step. No one mentions this in the reviews. I'm returning these sandals.

I ordered this shoe in a 36 regular width and a 36 narrow width. The narrow is much lighter in color. I even ordered another pair just incase it was just that pair. Same thing. The narrows come in a vastly lighter color. Very disappointing :(

The leather is very thick and hard and felt like wearing heavy boots. I would not recommend

I've worn Birkenstock Arizona sandals for 20 yrs and decided to try soft footbed - Sadly the quality in the shoe is not the quality I've known for so long- white glue all around the sole - one side ruched by the sole - hair stuck in footbed in the heel so disappointed returning -- hoping this is just a bad pair will look in a store. If could would have given 0 rating but only 1 was lowest

These are great shoes besides one caveat. Going off the size chart on Zappos, a size 44 was the right size for me. They fit well for about the first week before they got broken in; however, after they formed to my feet, my toes started sliding up and hitting the small walls providing much discomfort and annoyance. At this point, I can't return them, but I wouldn't have known I needed to return them until I wore them for a while and they were able to be broken in. I think a size 45 was what I really needed, but all I could go off of was the size chart. Next time, when it comes to a shoe like Birkenstock, I'll likely go in person to a shoe store and talk to a shoe expert so they can look at the fit and tell me how I can expect them to fit after wearing them for a while. I would recommend the same to you, it's too large of an expense to not get that expertise.

These are the most uncomfortable Birkenstocks I have ever owned. The leather is way too thick. I had difficulty getting the leather thru the buckles-because it was too thick and was too stiff.
Very uncomfortable. Love the brown ones I ordered.

These do not look like the picture--I wanted multicolored. I ordered a second pair as I thought the first pair was a mistake--but the second pair is the same. Solid orange. No yellow, no green, no purple. The customer service guy at Zappos assured me they were multi-colored. I even told him that I did not want them if they were not multicolored. He said he would have the warehouse check first. Also the straps dug into my foot and were VERY uncomfortable. Fortunately returns at Zappos are easy except that refunds take longer than charges. Go figure. Zappos needs to post a picture that looks like the shoe you get. Usually Zappos is fabulous but this time missed the mark.

Decided to get these since Birkenstocks are suddenly in style. While I like the shoe alot, I made a huge mistake getting this particular leather (the black amalfi leather). The leather is too stiff, hasn't broken in/softened up at all despite a dozen attempts but has given me massive blisters even though the shoe fits normally rather loosely. This pair's only good for going to and from the car, no walking. I might re-order in suede if the style remains popular, but these were a mistake.
