I have been a faithful Birks wearer for over 28 years. Somehow, I have gotten this far without ever owning a pair of classic Arizona's. They always seemed mannish to me, especially on my large feet. But, in the soft taupe suede, they actually make my feet look smaller and feminine. Love them! I ordered my usual size, 42, in the soft bed. They seem narrower than my usual Birks, even though I ordered the regular width; maybe because of the soft bed? When I tried the next size up, I was swimming in them. But, I wanted the soft since I am recovering from foot surgery. And, it really does make a difference. So, I will stick with the 42 and hope they do their usual magic trick of conforming perfectly to my feet.

These are my first pair of Birks, and now I see what the fuss is all about. My sandal preference has always been flipflops, but over the years the quality of some of my favorite sports brands has taken a down turn. They are no longer supportive as they once were, and I became more prone to "rolling" my ankles. I needed something supportive, comfortable, and stylish, and I found it with these. I went with a neutral shade to match to just about anything casual in my wardrobe (I tend to stick with cool shades-black, blues, greys, etc).One feature I want to mention is that it takes a bit for these to "break in" and better conform to your feet, so they are a bit stiff at first.

I have multiple pairs of Birkenstocks and have never had discomfort or a poor fit. There is something wrong with the construction of the left shoe. It should not have passed quality control. I expected it to get more comfortable over time, but it has not! Wish I had returned these sandals!

The sandals themselves are wonderful, and I have no complaints with shipping. However, Birkenstock's Medium width have the outlined foot on the foot bed. These are listed as Medium, but they are NARROW. Birkenstock's narrow width has a filled in foot on the foot bed like these do. They will work for most people, as a Narrow in Birkenstock is a Medium in other brands, but it is really false to list them as Medium width. According to Birkenstock, they are NARROW, and should be listed as such. I will return, as I wanted the wider foot bed. The size is typical for Birkenstocks. I wear a 9 in most shoes and order the 39 in Birks; the length is fine.
Because they are the softer, suede straps - you cannot just slide your foot into the sandal. Also decided that the color would probably look dirty after a few wears. I returned them and purchased the blue oiled leather ones (soft footbed sandal). I am so excited to wear these on my upcoming vacation. They will look good with anything! Love the blue - its very deep and classy.
These sandals are perfect from the first step. I am thrilled by how comfortable they are right away and know they will just get more so. I am recovering from an injury and need supportive shoes. I really like the stone color, it is a nice neutral grey/taupe that works well with all colors.
When I first bought these, they were the most uncomfortable sandals I have ever worn!!! The cork/foot bed was HARD! Worn for long periods of time in the beginning, my feet started to hurt walking in them. I had to change my shoes to get a break!!! I use to think "why does everyone say these are comfortable in reviews, are they crazy and who would waste their money on these?!?!?" I almost gave up in wearing them then I was considering how the sandals were quite costly, and I couldn't return them anyways. I am glad I did not give up, but I also had no choice. After the sandals were broken in, they are the most comfortable sandals you can ever wear!!! I walked through Disneyland all day (and you now how much walking that is) in them as they mode onto your feet and the ... MoreWhen I first bought these, they were the most uncomfortable sandals I have ever worn!!!

After the sandals were broken in, they are the most comfortable sandals you can ever wear!!! I walked through Disneyland all day (and you now how much walking that is) in them as they mode onto your feet and the footbed will soften. I loved them so much that I bought a second pair which I am in pain now wearing them on and off, but I know it won't be painful when they are broken in. Once the footbed/cork soften, it feels like pillows on your feet!
They are Birkenstocks, need I say more? They are comfortable, stylish and lightweight. Break them in by wearing them around the house a couple times and you are good to go. I tend to make the foot area wider than needed during the break-in period. Since these are metallic the leather is a bit harder than other birkenstocks.
These shoes are super cute & very comfortable, however, you need to know that they only came in a narrow fit. Maybe Nordstrom is out of the regular fit, but the description didn't mention narrow & they are described as a "Medium Width" on the website. This is not the case as the box clearly says "Narrow Fit," and they are definitely narrow. So, sadly, I will have to return them. Other than that issue, I would have kept them. Very comfortable, very soft & are sized like my other Birkenstocks. I would recommend this shoe, but if you're foot isn't narrow, I would call to see if they have the regular width in stock before you order.
Ordered The ochre (golden yellow) and the taupe....LOVE THEM! Yes, the width says ‘narrow’ on the outside of the box, unlike the description online, as some have complained about. They are not the wider shoe of the original Birkenstock’s of years ago, BUT, this only makes them less clunky and more attractive looking, not uncomfortable, if you have medium width feet. If your feet are very wide and you typically buy a wider shoe (you usually order ‘w’ wide; not ‘r’ regular width), then these may be too narrow for your foot.Both colors are great! I wasn’t sure if I’d like the yellow (ochre) color, as I usually avoid yellows in clothing, as they don’t look great on me, but I love the yellow! It is more of a golden yellow than a true yellow. The taupe is a great all ... MoreOrdered The ochre (golden yellow) and the taupe....LOVE THEM!

The taupe is a great all around neutral. I’m thinking the yellow will prove to be a neutral as well.I just got them, so I adjusted the straps and will wear them around the house, to break them in. The suede straps will stretch more than the ones with leather straps (I also ordered one pair of these), so I will tighten the straps on the suede pairs 3 holes in from the right outside, and the leather straps 2 holes in from the right outside. I’m thinking if I tightened the leather straps to the 3rd hole, I may get some blisters until they are broken in. If the leather straps loosen too much over time (I doubt they will), I can always tighten them 1 hole in. If the suede straps loosen too much over time, I can always tighten them 1 hole in as well.Very cute shoes....so glad I decided to order them!
