So very disappointed that Birkenstocks has introduced this beautiful line of suede Arizona only in narrow! I tried them, and as I suspected the narrow is too narrow! Why are those of us with regular or a bit wider feet to be deprived of the beautiful new shades for spring and summer!! Very disappointed!

I also tried to make the Narrow width work because I love the Lavender suede. I am so disappointed that Birkenstock/Papillio are no longer offering many Regular width selections. I own 15 (!) pairs of Birkenstocks and the Papillio label from 5-12 years ago when they did offer the more artsy/pretty patterns in Regular width. I guess I'd better make them last. Can't imagine what they're thinking denying fans with Regular width feet. Still love Zappos!

I love my Birkenstocks but the "narrow" version is now too narrow for me. I have quite a few of both regular and narrow but sometime in the last couple years the width at the ball of the narrow has changed and I can no longer wear them comfortably. BIG same as now I can't buy any of the fun girly colors because those are only being offered as narrow. Bummed I have to return these.

I have problem feet and I love these. I have a narrow foot and need arch support. These were great for both since I ordered the narrow. My feet are so narrow I will need to add one more hole in the strap, but that isn't a big deal. The soft footbed is the best. And the lavender color is cute. I always need to order a size up in Birks since the rim around the edge hits my long second toe and an causes pain.

So happy to find this Arizona Soft Footbed in a true Narrow!!! :-)))) I have not been able to wear the other Arizona styles because they are just too wide. Got the Lavender Suede - it is a beautiful soft Lavender color that is actually quite neutral. Love the soft footbed - going to take it to my local shoe repair place and have them add another hole for the buckle and these will be perfect! Thank you Birkenstock for an Arizona in a Narrow that fits!! I like the white base (will see how easy that is to keep clean) - but it gives it a fun, spring-y feel. ordered the 40N and it fits perfectly on my regular 9 size feet. Also have the Mayari in the 40N and a Papillion style that are all comparable. Thank you Zappos!

If you are hesitating at all about getting these-don't...they are so cute---color is gorgeous and the suede is so soft. I love the metallic sandals---especailly the gold and rose gold but I find the leather much too hard for my sensitive feet--these are butter soft!

These are not for me. The style just looked really bad in person on me. I think the white base takes it from boho to orthopedic looking (at least on me). Also, I usually wear a 37 M the narrow worked fit wise but just barely. I'm a long time Birkenstock wearer - the Gizeh I have in multiples for summer and the soft footbed Arizona I wear with socks in colder months. These are a hard pass for me.

I love this sandal but I have a problem with one foot. My left foot pronates and the extreme arch of the sandal is quite painful for the arch of that foot. Each time I wear the shoe ( I have had them for many months) the arch rubs and gets a painful blister. My other foot does not pronate as much and that shoe is comfortable. They are cute, the color is pretty and I receive many compliments. The leather is soft. I also have the same Birkenstocks in the shiny pink leather. They were much harder to break in because the leather was not soft. I have the same problem with the arch. I have no idea why I bought two if the first ones were painful. I just really like the look and the ease of the slip on. I cannot wear them for long walks though.

They are pretty soft and comfortable. I finally exchanged them for a model made not from suede (just a matter of taste). The white sole looks cool in summer.

Took a chance on these and was not disappointed. I haven't worn Birkenstocks for many years, so I ordered a 39 (what I used to always wear) even though my usual US size is a 9. My toes go to the edge, but not over. I could have worn a 40 but I was concerned that they would be too long and I would trip on them when walking. Was also unsure about the narrow width, as I am always a medium. Has not been a problem. Purchased to help with plantar fasciitis issues & they've helped tremendously so far. Plus, they're cute!

I have thin feet that hurt. I needed to add another hole to the shoe to make them fit, and now they are perfect. The bottom is soft, and that helps so much.

Love these! Like other leather sandals, they take a bit of time to mold to your feet but the extra price for the soft footbed is so worth it!

As I take the N in Birk, I was thrilled to FINALLY fine one that is in Narrow!!! It was not my first choice but am thrilled with it. I also then place the buckle in the last hole ~ I NEED narrow! The suede fabrication adjusts to my feet better than the leather which I ordered first & returned for that reason. The stone color is really a gorgeous gray stone color.

I have found some tie-up Fly Londons that are working well with my narrow demands. Comfortable!

Love! I got my true to size and fits great. I have narrow feet so the width is great for me. Very comfortable, no need to get used to them. I walked around a boardwalk in them and felt great. I had wanted the pink but it was sold out in my size so I got purple and I'm very happy. It's very neutral.

I'm so happy Birks are back in style. I lived in mine in the 90s. They are just as comfortable as I remember and I haven't broken them in yet. My feet are pretty narrow and I have a high arch so these couldn't have fit more perfectly. They might be tight for people with wide feet. I thought about adjusting the straps a little looser but I know leather stretches and they feel snug and don't fall off my feet right now. The color is a little darker than the picture but they pretty much go with everything and I love the white. It makes them look fresh for spring and summer.

I love my light blue Birks! The "narrow" is really a "B" width (medium) I would say and they fit my female feet perfectly. Zappos is an authorized dealer also. Very happy with the purchase.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about these! I've had many pairs of Birks but these are my favorite. I got the pink and I get compliments almost every time I wear them. Love the soft footbed. I bought these after I broke my toe and couldn't wear the Birkenstocks that went between my toes. These saved my feet and allowed me to walk all over Disneyland with a very swollen toe. I could not be more happier. Love the narrow fit, it hugs my feet and is more flattering the the original width. If you are on the fence, GET THEM! You will not regret if.

Great shoe, comfortable right out of the box! I didn't have any issues with width and consider my feet to be the wider side of narrow. I have a lot of trouble with keds! These were great and I even had to tighten the strap in front a little bit. I got the rose suede color and have gotten a lot of compliments.

I bought Lavender & Light Blue. I bought.my first Birkenstock Arizonas 12 y ago. I have 27 pair of Arizonas - jeweled, studded, leather, suede, textile, patent - 50% were bought in the last 2-3 years. I have not noticed any narrowness in the recent purchases. In fact, I wouldn't call them a half size larger, but I had to tighten up the Lavender & Light Blue ( one notch/hole ) because they were running larger than suede Birkenstocks I have worn for 2-3+ years.
I'd also recommend:
Nothing compares to Arizonas, Asic, Brunello Cucinelli ( different product very high end Italian )

I have a B width/average foot and wear the unisex Arizona style in soft footbed in 39 narrow. I ordered these in the same size, 39 N (only option). The actual width of this shaped sole measures about 1/16-1/8 in. narrower edge to edge across ball of footbed and I wear the strap across my toes on 2nd-to-last rather than 3rd-to-last hole. I do not feel an appreciable difference in width but there is a slight difference and I like it. The sandals feel more secure on my feet. Perhaps if you have a narrow foot, these might feel a little better than the unisex N, but much wider feet may notice the difference more. The lavender is terrific, a bit darker than shown, pretty but neutral for the summer.

I think Birkenstock has cut off many of its women customers by only offering the feminine colors in narrow. I feel discriminated because I need a regular width but since my feet are wider I'm only offered Brown and black tones.
