BirkenstockWomens Arizona Soft Footbed - Leather (Unisex)

I've been a loyal Birkenstock owner for years. As a kid growing up in Portland, Ore., Birkenstocks were the only way to go!This is my third pair of Arizona soft-footbed sandals... it's not so much that they wear out as that, living in warm, humid Florida, I find they get funky and grimy over time, and need to be resurfaced or retired. For the soft-footbed pairs, resurfacing is almost as expensive as a new pair, so I just buy new.If you've never owned a pair of Birkenstocks: they feel great as soon as you put them on and the cork begins to conform to your feet within a matter of days. Within a week or two, you won't want to wear anything else. The toe bar helps keep your toes in position, and the cup for your arch is comfortable even for someone almost completely flat-footed like me. They'll slip around on your foot a hair while you're walking, but if you find that it's more than a little bit, you may want to get a narrower pair.If you are wondering about the soft footbed vs. the regular footbed: I found that the soft-footbed are, obviously, more comfortable. They're better suited to wearing barefoot, where the classic footbed may be for Oregonians and Germans who like to wear them with socks. :-) On the other hand, the soft footbed gets funky and needs to be cleaned a lot sooner.My only complaint about the Arizonas is that the straps over my right foot are a little too loose, and can't be made any tighter. I take them to the cobbler and have him punch a new, higher hole in the leather.These are wonderful sandals. I wouldn't buy anything else.

These sandals were purchased for my husband's birthday. They fit him perfectly. They have the soft footbed but were very reasonably priced. I comparison shopped all over the internet for this pair.He is very happy with these sandals, and he says that his back pain is much less when he wears these all day around the house. He can wear them all winter with warm socks, as they are adjustable. He was finally able to throw away his worn out look-alikes. The color is just as presented. This product is very well constructed and will last for years.

Bought a size 42 because that's the size the size chart recommend and they are literally from heal to toe there's no room for anything else .... I like to wear mine in the fall with thick socks but I bought these for a trip and needed to have them if I could return them then I would for the next size up ...other then that not a bad pair of sandles

Long time Birkenstock fan , first time with the soft footbed ( SWEET ) . Great Sandal !. Only 4 stars because of the price . Ouch ! That hurt .

Birkenstocks are always a solid shoe. I've never had any complaints about the multiple pairs I own. These fit comfortable right out of the box and I only expect them to get more comfy and customized to my foot the more I wear them. The color looks just like the picture.

I started wearing this a few weeks ago. On my right feet, there is pinch pain that travels thru my big toe. It is strange because I don't have this issue with any other slippers. I was hoping it breaks in but the pain is too much during walking.

The sandals hurt my toes because there is a small sharp ridge at the end and hits my toe. They fit a bit loose when strapped to the last adjustment hole on the buckle. After a long break in period they seem to be ok but loose. I only wear them when i'm going out. I would expect better from such a high end product. Would not buy again.

I LOVE MY BIRKS! They are so comfy and I wear them all the time! Even when its cold outside, I just throw some fun socks on. Such great sandals that go with everything and are easy to slip on and off.
