Birkenstocks are so uncomfortable
I find. Birkenstocks to be rigid and uncomfortable. I bought a pair last year and hardly wore them because of the hard plastic they use to go in between your toes. So when I bought a new pair the other day I returned them a day later thinking “why spend more $ on a bad product”. I don’t get why their so popular when they are so uncomfortable... Show more

bummed about these
Sad these have to get returned. I’m a huge Birk lover and have 5 pairs. I wanted a new black slide. This new leather is rough and painful. It’s not the old soft leather that doesn’t need much breaking in. I bought a second pair in hopes I just got a bogus pair but they both are stiff and rough so both have to get returned. Bummer but hopefully they change it back to the old style!... Show more

good shoes but appear to be a return
The sandals arrived in a completely torn apart box, though the actual sandals appear to be fine. They were a gift for our teenage girl so it's kind of janky to have such a destroyed box - they're all into unboxing videos now (yeah, that's totally silly but whatever). I tried to tape it back together but it was hopeless. for $140 I think it would have been nice to have the item in a new box. If these were a returned item, it would be nice to not have been charged $140.... Show more

Not for me
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.... Show more

Product Review
This is my first pair and I'm anxiously anticipating when they are broken in. I usually buy a cushy type of sandal/shoe but keep coming back to these for the cute style. It's the exact look I wanted I almost purchased Dansko sandals that look like Birks but are a cushier footbed. In the end, I preferred the color in the Birkenstock. I chose the mocha with the rose gold buckles. These will be my go to sandals this summer so I hope I chose right. I'll give 5 stars because I know they are quality but I'm still unsure how supportive or comfortable they will be wearing all day. Wish me luck!! Happy Birthday to me!! Btw, I'm 58. Old feet!! I wear size 8 or 39.... Show more

Pure joy and sophistication
This is my second pair of the Arizona metallic soft slides. I bought the silver in 2017 and loved them, and they are in magnificent condition. But yesterday my 85 year-old Mom decided she liked them alot…so now those are hers and I got the copper/rose gold. They are divine! Same lovely cushion, which is why they’re great for Mom. But the color is stunning!!! Interestingly enough, my incredibly stylish husband said he never liked the silver on me, that this color is much more flattering to my skin tone. Who knew? So it’s a win-win! Yay for me. A terrific birthday present, too!... Show more

Ready for summer
I’ve been wearing size 38 Birkenstock Mayari sandals for almost a decade. After the toe strap wore out on a second pair of Mayaris, I decided to replace them with the Arizona style and I’m so happy with how they feel and look. I have a feeling these will be my go to style for the next decade. The length of the footbed does seem a wee bit shorter than my other sandals but they still fit but something to be mindful of....

SOOO CUTE
I looooove these! I’m a true 7 and ordered the 37 and they fit perfectly! I was a little concerned about the width but they are totally fine (my feet are very much medium width). I could see how these could be too narrow for wide feet though. I love the suede, imo it’s more stylish than the classic leather Birkenstocks. I will definitely dress these up and down. So excited about these!... Show more

Very cute, and (so far) comfortable!
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!... Show more

World class comfort, Below avg metallic finish
These live up to the world class Birkenstock name. Plus the gold finish makes the whole place shimmer… until they don’t :(Disappointed after 6 months of owning & wearing, the gold/Copper is worn & scratched along with the buckles are turning up. I have only worn these as daily house shoes and in the car. While the comfort is amazing, I hoped the “pretty shimmer” factor would last too.... Show more
