Customer Reviews2008-02-19 20:49:58 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Pamela K from Orland, California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoes for life - I believe I own every color you have ever made in this style, they’re like walking with no sandals on. Oh sure, I own other styles as well, but I always grab the ones that started me and hooked me. This past summer, I hooked my husband. He is wearing his first pair and I know they won't be his last... lol! Thank you for such a wonderful product. 2008-01-24 18:18:31 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Big L from SoCal Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support I thought I'd never own these, but... I have always had a stigma about owning these sandals. I have often seen people (older mostly) wearing these, and most of the time with socks. How dorky. Well, in order to crack up some people at school, I bought a pair of the sandals that I said I would never own: the Dwight Schrute sandals. I have little or no arch and these are killer. It took a few hours to get used to the arch support, but now, I would never go back. They have surpassed the comfort level of the Doc Martens I used to own. Awesome sandals and wonderful feel! (Just a kind of an FLS-Funny-Lookin' Shoe).

I wear size 8 ˝ B sandals and bought the 39 narrow. Great fit. These are the sandals I go to when I want slip on comfort. I own the Bostons and they aren't as comfortable as these for some reason. I will definitely buy these again.

I was exceptionally satisfied with customer service as well as the shoe. I love wearing them in the winter with "fun" socks. And they are quite comfortable. 2007-10-10 10:38:09 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Kathy from Tucson AZ Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support MY HUSBAND LOVED THEM! I ordered these for my husband who hates to shop or go to stores... his old Birkenstocks were 12 yrs old and needed to be tossed... I wanted to get the taupe colored ones but not avail... the navy is perfect and my husband loved them from the first moment he tried them on... 2007-09-24 16:50:25 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Los Angeles, CA Overall: Birkenstock wearer for 20 years - I have worn the Birkenstock Arizona for over 20 years. It is the only shoe I buy. It is durable, comfortable and good looking. 2007-08-20 08:08:07 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Indiana Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona - I have foot problems and these sandals were very comfortable. In 2 days, a few hours each day of wearing, and they were just right.

Birks are the most comfortable shoe, hands down. I have a high arch and these conform perfectly to my foot's shape. The buckle/straps make it simple to adjust the width. 2007-07-10 06:50:42 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Chicago, IL Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support I love these and wear them around the house all the time. I'm on my second pair, because first pair are finally looking really bad, but love them because they are so comfortable. Foot doctor told me never to go barefoot after I broke my foot and I put them on first thing in the morning and whenever I'm home. I have the Nubuck leather. 2007-06-25 07:43:52 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Chapel Hill, NC Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Excellent Fit - I had a pair of Birks in the past, but they seemed too wide. I took a chance and purchased the narrow and I love it. I would recommend the narrow for anyone who wears a regular width shoe. Other sandals recommended by reviewer: Clarks 2007-06-21 05:46:24 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Dallas, TX Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Not good for flat feet - I bought these 2 months after foot surgery to wear around the house on my hardwood floors. I was surprised that these sandals hurt my foot, since I have always heard how wonderful Birkenstocks are for your feet. When I told my physical therapist, he said that Birkenstocks are not good for people with very flat feet, which I have; they work best for people with high arches. I wish I had known that before spending too much money on sandals that I have worn inside a few times. 2007-06-16 17:55:10 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from New York State Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona Black Patent - I received my Birkenstock Arizona Black Patent shoe overnight! I have been wanting these for yrs. and finally ordered a pair.!! I recommend your site to other people. 8-) Other sandals recommended by reviewer: Clarks, Adidas 2007-06-16 09:09:35 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Panaca, Nevada Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great sandals, wonderful service, happy with everything. The service was wonderful. I like all the payment options. The Birkenstocks are wonderful. 2007-06-03 07:53:01 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Palmer TWP, PA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birks - These shoes are extremely durable and very comfortable. If you wear other types of flops or shoes try these before making your next purchase for warm weather footwear. 2007-05-08 12:57:15 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Matt from Chicago Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great shoes - Hey, they're Birkenstocks and are wonderful shoes. The narrow widths that are available today are outstanding. Best fit I've found anywhere. Great summer sandal.

I actually just wear flip flops and flats which were killer on my back (which I had broken a few years ago) but my Birkenstocks are sandals that I could wear anytime anywhere for any length of time. I practically live in them and they are so cute too!! If you can get a pair of these. 2007-04-17 19:26:36 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from San Juan Islands Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great sandal! This is my second pair of Arizonas. I liked the first pair so much, I had them resoled. 2007-04-11 10:42:13 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Phoenix, AZ Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Second pair - They take a little while to break in and the front strap cuts into the top of the foot a bit when they are brand new but that was true for my last pair too. If they last as long as my previous pair (4 years) than I can handle that. 2007-01-08 21:14:41 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Steh from southern California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Purchased as a gift for Christmas - I got these for my brother-in-law for the family gift exchange. I was very amazed at quick shipping service. As for the fit, he said that they were perfect as these were a replacement for a pair we got him back in 1998. 2007-01-05 10:35:39 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Margaret from Olympia, WA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birks are the Best - Arizona's are the most comfortable and coolest shoe available. If I could I would wear them with formal wear. They are wonderful for the health of your foot.

I've been wearing Birkies for years. I have a wide foot. My orthopedist recommends them and it's the only shoe I can wear comfortably--year round. Just add a pair of socks--unless the snow if over 2" deep! 2006-10-28 07:11:51 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Nancy from Michigan Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Love them - I have been wearing these for years. I bought another pair and a pair for my husband. He never liked the one's I was wearing but decided to give them a try. He now regrets ever thinking they were ugly. He said, “These are the most wonderful sandals in the world.” Other sandals recommended by reviewer: none other 2006-10-24 05:39:26 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Knoxville, TN Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Excellent Shoe! I ordered these sandals for my son. He has always liked the Birkenstock brand. Whether it is the sandal or the clogs, he has always had good luck with them. He is very hard on sandals and they seem to hold up well. Thanks for having larger size sandals available. His shoe size makes it difficult to buy in the store. We appreciate your prompt service and always have the desired shoe in stock! 2006-10-15 19:07:35 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Pati from Arkansas Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Comfort Comfort Comfort - Still can't beat Birkenstock for Comfort - closest I've come would be Wolky Sandals. Would prefer more variety but guess Birkies are Birkies. Thinking of getting a pair of Birkie clogs but would like to see more in the smooth leathers than the suedes. BTW - order down, especially if you are ordering a wide width. Even with my wide feet and long-ago-broken toe issues, the wide is PLENTY WIDE. Fortunately Zappos dynamite customer service email response answered my questions in this regard before I ordered, so didn't have to mess with guessing and exchanging.

The quality of the shoe is outstanding and the adjustable fit wonderful. I'll be back for more! 2006-09-25 06:54:10 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Beth A from Springfield, MO Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Granted, this particular style of Birkenstock is not the most feminine or dressy of styles. However, I don't recall ever feeling exactly "feminine" with blisters that throb or feet that ache or toes that are reformed into a misshapen cluster. So I suppose the trade off is really worth it after all! These sandals deliver total comfort with no blisters or throbbing.

Loved the cocao color, and as a wearer for over 20 years, the key is selecting the right size.

The fit was on the mark and is wonderful for walking distances. I also like the Birkenstock quality and reassurance that this shoe will last for years. The comfort of the shoe is terrific. 2006-09-11 12:43:05 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from New Hampshire Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoe! Originally I ordered a size 42 Men’s Birkenstock Arizona for my boyfriend. They ended up being just a tad too small so we returned them for a Men’s 43 in the cocoa nubuck. At first they felt weird on his feet (as they do for most first time Birk wearers) but after the first few wears they are the most comfortable sandals he owns. I was a little apprehensive about ordering the Narrow Width because he doesn't have "narrow" feet but they turned out to fit perfectly. I have a pair myself and wear them whenever I feel like dressing casual/comfortable. So if you're concerned you might not order the right size don't worry about it because you can always return them. :) Other sandals recommended by reviewer: Bass clogs are wonderful too 2006-09-04 06:52:12 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Wilmington, DE Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support More of the same - This is my fifth or sixth pair of Birkenstock Arizona’s. Obviously the shoe fits my foot, as well as my lifestyle, very well! I can wear the shoe all day without discomfort. It's all about comfort and healthy feet for me. I enjoy both with this shoe.

The Arizona is the most comfortable of their styles for me & this is my 3rd pair of them. While their narrow is definitely not the AA I most of the time wear, with bulky socks they're perfect. And with an extra hole on the straps, they stay on just perfect without the bulky socks. 2006-08-17 10:38:55 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Montana Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona the only shoe for total comfort - I have worn two pairs of Arizona’s for about 15 years. I wear them all the time: I keep one pair at the back door and one pair at the front door. The cork is starting to disintegrate, but I have not babied them, so it is understandable. A local dealer will refurbish them at low cost. Yes, they are a bit ugly, but for comfort they are the best. I broke both heels two years ago in a fall from a ladder and these were and continue to be Godsends. Big initial investment, but they last forever, and can be repaired indefinitely. Other sandals recommended by reviewer: Ecco is wonderful also, and Doc Martens if you like them 2006-08-17 07:27:36 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Nancy from San Diego, California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock for Lance - This is a wonderful price for a classic shoe. I was happy that you had it in the right size and right color. The best part was how fast you got them to me. I was leaving on a trip and really needed them quick. You came through and I am very pleased. 2006-08-08 10:25:47 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Duluth, Minnesota Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support My favorite - Best shoes you'll ever wear; whether it's at a concert, at work, at school, in the house, in the park, you'll never be disappointed. You'll think you're barefoot, but with wonderful arch support! 2006-07-31 15:17:25 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Diane from NY Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona - I originally ordered regular width. Way too wide. Now that is wonderful service. 2006-07-29 00:15:25 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Wisconsin Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Arizona's Rock! I love Birkenstocks and have several pair. I especially love the Arizona. I have Arizona's in every color, style, and all fabrics available. The original footbed is wonderful. I also love the "soft" footbed that has a layer of latex in the footbed. I wear the soft footbed as slippers! I also wear them out as well, but actually wear the traditional footbed out, and come home and slip into a pair of the softbed Arizonas. They are so much more comfortable than any slipper I have ever had. I have flat feet and back problems. The Birkenstock footbed aligns the body so your posture is improved. I would encourage anyone who hasn't tried Birkenstocks to try the Arizona first. It's a basic that has been around for years. The uppers are fun too. Everything from leather to suede leather to birko-flor. Don't shy away from the birko-flor upper. It's manmade but feels like a soft leather. And most of the time less expensive. They are worth every penny though and don't be discouraged by the price. Birkenstocks last forever! And if the footbed does wear out, they can be replaced! I asked my Podiatrist if it was OK to wear Birkenstocks, he kind of smiled and showed me what he had on his feet--Birkenstocks!! I think if a Podiatrist is wearing Birkenstocks, they must be good for out feet! They are wonderful and I wear nothing else. Try them!

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I am sure it will not be the last. 2006-07-23 13:22:31 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Atlanta, GA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support They're not pretty, but... They're not pretty, but pretty isn't why you buy Birkenstocks. Actually, these were for my teenager, replacing a pair she'd worn down to the cork. They are comfortable and seem to go with everything a 17 year old wears. 2006-07-21 14:20:42 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from New York Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Happy with Birks - Originally, the size was larger than expected and needed to be exchanged. However, once this was corrected, the shoes were excellent and I was very pleased. 2006-07-20 08:31:11 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from South New Jersey Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support This is my 3rd pair of Arizona and I still have mine which are 5 years old. They are finally showing the age because I wear them all the time including winter at home. The leather takes a while to soften up so I most of the time wear with the socks at home for a week to break them. They are the most comfortable sandals that I know and my whole family is in love with the Birkenstocks including my 3 years old.

This is my third pair of the Arizona style. I ordered them to have a spare. They have been long lasting and after a break period, very comfortable. I wear them all day around the house.

They do seem to change their product which is wonderful because most companies make things shoddier. 2006-07-06 08:11:01 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Los Angeles, CA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock review - What can you say about Birkenstock Arizona’s? Everyone needs a pair. They are perfect for any casual wear. This is my 3rd pair of them, they last about 10 years.

Plan to have them refurbished. The new model seems to run wide so we reordered the narrow and they fit fine. The transaction went smoothly and the new order arrived quickly. 2006-07-03 16:03:31 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Adrian G from Connecticut Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support When It's Built Well, Wear It! Birkenstock is the best sandal. Just don't wear it in the rain! Save it for a rainy day, so to speak! The cork sole hates water! A Classic is built to last!

My last pair lasted 9 yrs of constant wear. If you have any type of foot problems or stand a lot these are the sandals for you. I wore these after I broke my ankle when I couldn't get my foot in any other shoe. I LOVE THEM! 2006-06-26 05:39:59 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Erin from Albany, New York Overall: I bought Birkenstock Arizona's for my boyfriend on his birthday and he had never worn Birkenstock's before. He has very flat feet and thought that the regular footbed would not be comfortable for him. The oiled leather doesn't come in the soft footbed so I gave the regular one's a try. He absolutely loves them! He won't take them off. He said that whenever he wears different sandals now, his feet feel uncomfortable since he is so used to the Birk feeling. 2006-06-22 05:14:44 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Maurice Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Can’t beat the Birks - These sandals are such a delight to wear that I get home from somewhere wearing sneakers and I change to my Birks- They provide support, and just make my feet feel good. 2006-06-16 18:22:30 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Virginia Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Birkenstock Arizona - This shoe is very, very comfortable. It's ease of getting it on, for me (I'm "Physically Challenged"), is wonderful and adds to the rating of 5 Stars. The only minus is its "Clunky" look but I have no suggestion for making it look "Sleeker". For me this is minor as the feel, fit and ease of putting it on are most important. 2006-06-12 12:39:04 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Maryland Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Birkenstocks Don't Really Come in Narrow - I ordered a pair to replace the ones I'd been wearing for 15 years, and got the same size I got then. Even with the buckles on the last hole, they were still too loose, so I had to punch new holes in the back strap to make them wearable. I could have returned them, but really wanted this pair so I made them work--just be warned that they aren't really narrow widths. 2006-06-12 09:11:31 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Erik from Blacksburg, VA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great sandal, after minor field modification - After having these shoes a few weeks and making a minor modification, they now fit like gloves. Very comfortable gloves. First - the arch support is pronounced. My arches were a bit sore the first few wears, but I could feel my feet adjusting (for the better, it seems). Second - the field modification: I wear size 11M and originally purchased these in narrow on another customer's recommendation (that the medium is too wide). Well, it turned out that while the sandal was comfortably snug, the sole was a bit too narrow. So I returned those and ordered the 11M. The sole was a perfect fit but now I couldn't make the sandal snug enough! Solution: drill another hole in the straps (I carefully chose the right drill bit then used a power drill). The new holes are indistinguishable from the existing ones. Of course Zappos won't take them back now, but I have no plans to return them... 2006-06-11 15:47:50 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Barb from North Carolina Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona... I can't tell you how much I love this shoe. I have other Birks, but the Arizona looks like a Birk, feels like a Birk, and is the epitome of a Birk! I sold sandals for 25 years and I have never found anything that comes close to the comfort of this shoe. I've had people say they are ugly. As they say, beauty is in the eye...etc etc. I've worn them for years, but in 2003 I had to have back surgery and they were a life saver for me. Love them and will never wear anything else. 2006-06-07 16:12:37 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Paula from Washington State Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoe for "Problem" Feet - I have plantar fasciitis & have to wear orthotics in my lace-up sandals. After I also broke my foot and got my cast off, I despaired of what sandals I would wear, as my foot was still quite swollen & sore & couldn't fit with the orthotic in my shoe. Good old Birkenstocks' Arizona’s to the rescue. A year later, I'm all healed up & I'm still wearing them & they still feel wonderful. A wonderful shoe!

I have found that Earth sandals do this also. I do like the look of the sandals and continue to wear them.

My old pair fit my feet like a glove so I found the new pair rather stiff...but, I know it is worth breaking them in; I expect to wear them for many, many years and many, many miles. It had been so long ago that I bought a pair I didn't remember a problem with sizing however; these ran a full size larger than marked. 2006-05-24 09:33:45 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Kim from Minneapolis Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Just heavenly - This is my 13th pair of Birkenstocks, but my first Arizona’s. I was afraid that a sandal without a back strap would fall off my feet or cause me to twist my ankle, but no! Then again, I ordered a narrow in these, whereas all my other Birks are regular width. I couldn't be happier with the fit or the color (the olive green leather). They did take a bit of breaking in (the leather is stiff at first, but stretches easily enough), and now I wear them all the time. I even use them for my daily walks instead of gym sandals. My feet actually feel better at the end of a long walk in Birks than they do in gym sandals.

Be sure to buy the glue that you use to paint the cork (made by Birkenstock--I bought it at a shoe store) and do it every so often to maintain the cork soles. I bought the narrow for my younger son who has a true narrow foot, and the width is just barely wide enough. Only get the narrow if you have a really narrow foot. Also, these tend to run big. We all got a size smaller than what is suggested when you compare your American shoe size to the metric size. Example: I wear a 7.5 or 8 actually, and that would correspond to a 38 or 39, but my Birkenstocks are 37. Both my boys have suede Arizona’s (black and taupe). The suede stretches a lot, and the shoes that are two years old stretched so much that we had to cut some off and punch new holes. Don't know if the black ones will do this because my other son just got them. They are wonderful looking shoes for a young guy to wear with jeans or shorts. 2006-05-17 13:29:47 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Mesa, AZ Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Birkenstock Arizona - First: These look like a pretty PINK in the photo on line, but they are VERY DARK RED. Unless you have very wide feet, don't bother. I have tried in the past to wear Birks; but until they make a narrow shoe that fits American feet I will order another brand. They are very well made & would be a wonderful shoe if you have wide feet.

If you've never had a pair of these, you should. If you do, you understand. Birkenstocks are simply the most comfortable shoes made, the Ultimate Walking Sandal (a la BMW's line - plus Birk’s are made in Germany). The foot bed somehow evolves into becoming your sole shape, making them the most shaped footwear you could possibly have. I highly recommend these. 2006-04-20 07:09:48 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:James A from Apopka, Florida Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support A basic comfortable sandal - Takes a bit of breaking in, but they are comfortable when fit is adjusted to your foot. Only problem is that the leather is not water proof. So far, these are the most comfortable shoes I have found for everyday wear, and they feel like an orthotic arch support for my flat feet. Choose regular (wide) unless you have a very narrow foot. Also plan to have extra holes punched in the straps to adjust to your foot size. If you are like me and never wore a sandal without heel straps, it does take some adjustment. As always, Zappos is the best shopping site for viewing & choosing a style to match your feet. 2006-04-19 20:55:51 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from El Paso, TX Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Fabulous - I have worn Birkenstock for years, the Arizona is my favorite, and I returned for new insoles and have quite a collection.

I don't most of the time like "faux" leather as it doesn't breathe. However, Birko-Flor is not too warm to be comfortable since this style is so open. They may not be leather, but they do look like it. The thing I really like is that they do not stain if they get wet or something is spilled on the uppers like the suede models do. They are not stiff or hard; they adjust comfortably to the foot. All in all, I was pleased with the Birko-Flor Arizonas. 2006-03-21 13:10:28 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Beth from Brick, New Jersey Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Comfortable - These are as comfortable as I remember my first pair being 15 years ago.

This is my third pair of Arizonas since 1997. They are the best thing you can do for your feet, especially for those of us with pf. If you are new to Birkenstocks, be aware that you have to break these in slowly until they form to your feet (and straps must be loose). Also, be sure to order narrow if your feet are medium width. My last pair was also the navy blue silky suede and I enjoyed them so much I had to have another pair.

Received them 2 days after placing my order. They were too big for her even though I ordered a size smaller than her regular shoe. (Although these are in European whole sizes so it's tough to determine correct size) within 2 days of printing my return label and ordering the very next size down, I had the new shoes and Zappos didn't charge me for the new ones pending their receipt of the returned ones. The smaller size fit my daughter perfectly and she is ecstatic, insisting she's going to wear them even though it's winter.

I've bought 4 pairs of Birks (and many pairs of cheap fakes). By far the Birks outlast and outperform the fakes. They take a while to break in... and definitely invest in the footbed cleaner. On this shoe: the upper strap digs a little into my ankle (it goes up that high on my foot; and while I asked for narrow, it seems wider than the pair of papillos that I have in size narrow. I like loose shoes though, so it works for me. I like the look of the oiled leather... definitely refines the laid back look of the Birks.

BTW - order down, especially if you are ordering a wide width. Even with my wide feet and long-ago-broken toe issues, the wide is PLENTY WIDE.

Originally I ordered a size 42 Men’s Birkenstock Arizona for my boyfriend. They ended up being just a tad too small so we returned them for a Men’s 43 in the cocoa nubuck. At first they felt weird on his feet (as they do for most first time Birk wearers) but after the first few wears they are the most comfortable sandals he owns. I was a little apprehensive about ordering the Narrow Width because he doesn't have "narrow" feet but they turned out to fit perfectly. I have a pair myself and wear them whenever I feel like dressing casual/comfortable. So if you're concerned you might not order the right size don't worry about it because you can always return them. :) Other sandals recommended by reviewer: Bass clogs are wonderful too 2006-09-04 06:52:12 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Wilmington, DE Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support More of the same - This is my fifth or sixth pair of Birkenstock Arizona’s.

The Arizona is the most comfortable of their styles for me & this is my 3rd pair of them. While their narrow is definitely not the AA I most of the time wear, with bulky socks they're perfect. And with an extra hole on the straps, they stay on just perfect without the bulky socks. 2006-08-17 10:38:55 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Montana Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona the only shoe for total comfort - I have worn two pairs of Arizona’s for about 15 years. I wear them all the time: I keep one pair at the back door and one pair at the front door. The cork is starting to disintegrate, but I have not babied them, so it is understandable. A local dealer will refurbish them at low cost. Yes, they are a bit ugly, but for comfort they are the best. I broke both heels two years ago in a fall from a ladder and these were and continue to be Godsends. Big initial investment, but they last forever, and can be repaired indefinitely.

I love Birkenstocks and have several pair. I especially love the Arizona. I have Arizona's in every color, style, and all fabrics available. The original footbed is wonderful. I also love the "soft" footbed that has a layer of latex in the footbed. I wear the soft footbed as slippers! I also wear them out as well, but actually wear the traditional footbed out, and come home and slip into a pair of the softbed Arizonas. They are so much more comfortable than any slipper I have ever had. I have flat feet and back problems. The Birkenstock footbed aligns the body so your posture is improved. I would encourage anyone who hasn't tried Birkenstocks to try the Arizona first. It's a basic that has been around for years. The uppers are fun too. Everything from leather to suede leather to birko-flor. Don't shy away from the birko-flor upper. It's manmade but feels like a soft leather. And most of the time less expensive. They are worth every penny though and don't be discouraged by the price. Birkenstocks last forever! And if the footbed does wear out, they can be replaced! I asked my Podiatrist if it was OK to wear Birkenstocks, he kind of smiled and showed me what he had on his feet--Birkenstocks!! I think if a Podiatrist is wearing Birkenstocks, they must be good for out feet! They are wonderful and I wear nothing else. Try them!

It's ease of getting it on, for me (I'm "Physically Challenged"), is wonderful and adds to the rating of 5 Stars. The only minus is its "Clunky" look but I have no suggestion for making it look "Sleeker".

I could have returned them, but really wanted this pair so I made them work--just be warned that they aren't really narrow widths. 2006-06-12 09:11:31 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Erik from Blacksburg, VA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great sandal, after minor field modification - After having these shoes a few weeks and making a minor modification, they now fit like gloves. Very comfortable gloves. First - the arch support is pronounced. My arches were a bit sore the first few wears, but I could feel my feet adjusting (for the better, it seems). Second - the field modification: I wear size 11M and originally purchased these in narrow on another customer's recommendation (that the medium is too wide). Well, it turned out that while the sandal was comfortably snug, the sole was a bit too narrow. So I returned those and ordered the 11M. The sole was a perfect fit but now I couldn't make the sandal snug enough! Solution: drill another hole in the straps (I carefully chose the right drill bit then used a power drill). The new holes are indistinguishable from the existing ones. Of course Zappos won't take them back now, but I have no plans to return them... 2006-06-11 15:47:50 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Barb from North Carolina Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona... I can't tell you how much I love this shoe. I have other Birks, but the Arizona looks like a Birk, feels like a Birk, and is the epitome of a Birk! I sold sandals for 25 years and I have never found anything that comes close to the comfort of this shoe. I've had people say they are ugly. As they say, beauty is in the eye...etc etc. I've worn them for years, but in 2003 I had to have back surgery and they were a life saver for me. Love them and will never wear anything else. 2006-06-07 16:12:37 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Paula from Washington State Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoe for "Problem" Feet - I have plantar fasciitis & have to wear orthotics in my lace-up sandals.

It had been so long ago that I bought a pair I didn't remember a problem with sizing however; these ran a full size larger than marked. 2006-05-24 09:33:45 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Kim from Minneapolis Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Just heavenly - This is my 13th pair of Birkenstocks, but my first Arizona’s. I was afraid that a sandal without a back strap would fall off my feet or cause me to twist my ankle, but no! Then again, I ordered a narrow in these, whereas all my other Birks are regular width. I couldn't be happier with the fit or the color (the olive green leather). They did take a bit of breaking in (the leather is stiff at first, but stretches easily enough), and now I wear them all the time. I even use them for my daily walks instead of gym sandals. My feet actually feel better at the end of a long walk in Birks than they do in gym sandals.

Be sure to buy the glue that you use to paint the cork (made by Birkenstock--I bought it at a shoe store) and do it every so often to maintain the cork soles. I bought the narrow for my younger son who has a true narrow foot, and the width is just barely wide enough. Only get the narrow if you have a really narrow foot. Also, these tend to run big. We all got a size smaller than what is suggested when you compare your American shoe size to the metric size. Example: I wear a 7.5 or 8 actually, and that would correspond to a 38 or 39, but my Birkenstocks are 37. Both my boys have suede Arizona’s (black and taupe). The suede stretches a lot, and the shoes that are two years old stretched so much that we had to cut some off and punch new holes. Don't know if the black ones will do this because my other son just got them. They are wonderful looking shoes for a young guy to wear with jeans or shorts. 2006-05-17 13:29:47 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Mesa, AZ Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Birkenstock Arizona - First: These look like a pretty PINK in the photo on line, but they are VERY DARK RED. Unless you have very wide feet, don't bother. I have tried in the past to wear Birks; but until they make a narrow shoe that fits American feet I will order another brand.

Only problem is that the leather is not water proof. So far, these are the most comfortable shoes I have found for everyday wear, and they feel like an orthotic arch support for my flat feet. Choose regular (wide) unless you have a very narrow foot. Also plan to have extra holes punched in the straps to adjust to your foot size. If you are like me and never wore a sandal without heel straps, it does take some adjustment. As always, Zappos is the best shopping site for viewing & choosing a style to match your feet. 2006-04-19 20:55:51 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from El Paso, TX Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Fabulous - I have worn Birkenstock for years, the Arizona is my favorite, and I returned for new insoles and have quite a collection.

I don't most of the time like "faux" leather as it doesn't breathe. However, Birko-Flor is not too warm to be comfortable since this style is so open. They may not be leather, but they do look like it. The thing I really like is that they do not stain if they get wet or something is spilled on the uppers like the suede models do. They are not stiff or hard; they adjust comfortably to the foot. All in all, I was pleased with the Birko-Flor Arizonas. 2006-03-21 13:10:28 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Beth from Brick, New Jersey Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Comfortable - These are as comfortable as I remember my first pair being 15 years ago. I wore my first 2 pairs for about 5 years each before the wore out. That was 5 years of wearing them alot! I ordered the narrow width, even though I actually wear a regular width in other sandals, and they fit fine. I received these 1 business day after I ordered them. 2006-03-16 16:05:22 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Alpena, Michigan Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support 5 Stars all the way!

This was my first pair. It took three tries to get the size and width exactly right, but the final pair fits like they were made just for me. They are comfortable, attractive, and offer me a wonderful opportunity to show off the hand knit socks that are my hobby. If I had it to do over again, I'd get the suede, I think. Love these, though.

This is my third pair of Arizonas since 1997. They are the best thing you can do for your feet, especially for those of us with pf. If you are new to Birkenstocks, be aware that you have to break these in slowly until they form to your feet (and straps must be loose). Also, be sure to order narrow if your feet are medium width. My last pair was also the navy blue silky suede and I enjoyed them so much I had to have another pair.

Received them 2 days after placing my order. They were too big for her even though I ordered a size smaller than her regular shoe. (Although these are in European whole sizes so it's tough to determine correct size) within 2 days of printing my return label and ordering the very next size down, I had the new shoes and Zappos didn't charge me for the new ones pending their receipt of the returned ones. The smaller size fit my daughter perfectly and she is ecstatic, insisting she's going to wear them even though it's winter. I can't say good enough things about them! 2006-01-04 19:17:43 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Aitkin, Minnesota Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Brirkenstock Review - Zappos did a wonderful job!

The minute I slide my feet into them, it is the same as the pair I have just finished wearing out, which by the way, I have been wearing for fifteen years! I do not throw the old ones out. For some crazy reason, I hold on to them. I am a retired teacher and plan on wearing this wonderful shoe until I leave this Earth or take them with me if I can.

I've bought 4 pairs of Birks (and many pairs of cheap fakes). By far the Birks outlast and outperform the fakes. They take a while to break in... and definitely invest in the footbed cleaner. On this shoe: the upper strap digs a little into my ankle (it goes up that high on my foot; and while I asked for narrow, it seems wider than the pair of papillos that I have in size narrow. I like loose shoes though, so it works for me. I like the look of the oiled leather... definitely refines the laid back look of the Birks.

It took a few hours to get used to the arch support, but now, I would never go back. They have surpassed the comfort level of the Doc Martens I used to own. Awesome sandals and wonderful feel!

Originally I ordered a size 42 Men’s Birkenstock Arizona for my boyfriend. They ended up being just a tad too small so we returned them for a Men’s 43 in the cocoa nubuck. At first they felt weird on his feet (as they do for most first time Birk wearers) but after the first few wears they are the most comfortable sandals he owns. I was a little apprehensive about ordering the Narrow Width because he doesn't have "narrow" feet but they turned out to fit perfectly. I have a pair myself and wear them whenever I feel like dressing casual/comfortable.

The Arizona is the most comfortable of their styles for me & this is my 3rd pair of them. While their narrow is definitely not the AA I most of the time wear, with bulky socks they're perfect. And with an extra hole on the straps, they stay on just perfect without the bulky socks. 2006-08-17 10:38:55 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Montana Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona the only shoe for total comfort - I have worn two pairs of Arizona’s for about 15 years. I wear them all the time: I keep one pair at the back door and one pair at the front door. The cork is starting to disintegrate, but I have not babied them, so it is understandable. A local dealer will refurbish them at low cost. Yes, they are a bit ugly, but for comfort they are the best. I broke both heels two years ago in a fall from a ladder and these were and continue to be Godsends. Big initial investment, but they last forever, and can be repaired indefinitely.

I love Birkenstocks and have several pair. I especially love the Arizona. I have Arizona's in every color, style, and all fabrics available. The original footbed is wonderful. I also love the "soft" footbed that has a layer of latex in the footbed. I wear the soft footbed as slippers! I also wear them out as well, but actually wear the traditional footbed out, and come home and slip into a pair of the softbed Arizonas. They are so much more comfortable than any slipper I have ever had. I have flat feet and back problems. The Birkenstock footbed aligns the body so your posture is improved. I would encourage anyone who hasn't tried Birkenstocks to try the Arizona first. It's a basic that has been around for years. The uppers are fun too. Everything from leather to suede leather to birko-flor. Don't shy away from the birko-flor upper. It's manmade but feels like a soft leather. And most of the time less expensive. They are worth every penny though and don't be discouraged by the price. Birkenstocks last forever! And if the footbed does wear out, they can be replaced! I asked my Podiatrist if it was OK to wear Birkenstocks, he kind of smiled and showed me what he had on his feet--Birkenstocks!! I think if a Podiatrist is wearing Birkenstocks, they must be good for out feet! They are wonderful and I wear nothing else. Try them!

It's ease of getting it on, for me (I'm "Physically Challenged"), is wonderful and adds to the rating of 5 Stars.

I could have returned them, but really wanted this pair so I made them work--just be warned that they aren't really narrow widths. 2006-06-12 09:11:31 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Erik from Blacksburg, VA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great sandal, after minor field modification - After having these shoes a few weeks and making a minor modification, they now fit like gloves. Very comfortable gloves. First - the arch support is pronounced. My arches were a bit sore the first few wears, but I could feel my feet adjusting (for the better, it seems). Second - the field modification: I wear size 11M and originally purchased these in narrow on another customer's recommendation (that the medium is too wide). Well, it turned out that while the sandal was comfortably snug, the sole was a bit too narrow. So I returned those and ordered the 11M. The sole was a perfect fit but now I couldn't make the sandal snug enough! Solution: drill another hole in the straps (I carefully chose the right drill bit then used a power drill). The new holes are indistinguishable from the existing ones. Of course Zappos won't take them back now, but I have no plans to return them... 2006-06-11 15:47:50 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Barb from North Carolina Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona... I can't tell you how much I love this shoe. I have other Birks, but the Arizona looks like a Birk, feels like a Birk, and is the epitome of a Birk! I sold sandals for 25 years and I have never found anything that comes close to the comfort of this shoe. I've had people say they are ugly. As they say, beauty is in the eye...etc etc. I've worn them for years, but in 2003 I had to have back surgery and they were a life saver for me. Love them and will never wear anything else. 2006-06-07 16:12:37 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Paula from Washington State Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoe for "Problem" Feet - I have plantar fasciitis & have to wear orthotics in my lace-up sandals.

My old pair fit my feet like a glove so I found the new pair rather stiff...but, I know it is worth breaking them in; I expect to wear them for many, many years and many, many miles. It had been so long ago that I bought a pair I didn't remember a problem with sizing however; these ran a full size larger than marked. 2006-05-24 09:33:45 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Kim from Minneapolis Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Just heavenly - This is my 13th pair of Birkenstocks, but my first Arizona’s. I was afraid that a sandal without a back strap would fall off my feet or cause me to twist my ankle, but no! Then again, I ordered a narrow in these, whereas all my other Birks are regular width. I couldn't be happier with the fit or the color (the olive green leather). They did take a bit of breaking in (the leather is stiff at first, but stretches easily enough), and now I wear them all the time. I even use them for my daily walks instead of gym sandals. My feet actually feel better at the end of a long walk in Birks than they do in gym sandals.

Be sure to buy the glue that you use to paint the cork (made by Birkenstock--I bought it at a shoe store) and do it every so often to maintain the cork soles. I bought the narrow for my younger son who has a true narrow foot, and the width is just barely wide enough. Only get the narrow if you have a really narrow foot. Also, these tend to run big. We all got a size smaller than what is suggested when you compare your American shoe size to the metric size. Example: I wear a 7.5 or 8 actually, and that would correspond to a 38 or 39, but my Birkenstocks are 37. Both my boys have suede Arizona’s (black and taupe). The suede stretches a lot, and the shoes that are two years old stretched so much that we had to cut some off and punch new holes. Don't know if the black ones will do this because my other son just got them. They are wonderful looking shoes for a young guy to wear with jeans or shorts. 2006-05-17 13:29:47 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Mesa, AZ Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Birkenstock Arizona - First: These look like a pretty PINK in the photo on line, but they are VERY DARK RED. Unless you have very wide feet, don't bother. I have tried in the past to wear Birks; but until they make a narrow shoe that fits American feet I will order another brand. They are very well made & would be a wonderful shoe if you have wide feet.

Only problem is that the leather is not water proof. So far, these are the most comfortable shoes I have found for everyday wear, and they feel like an orthotic arch support for my flat feet. Choose regular (wide) unless you have a very narrow foot. Also plan to have extra holes punched in the straps to adjust to your foot size. If you are like me and never wore a sandal without heel straps, it does take some adjustment. As always, Zappos is the best shopping site for viewing & choosing a style to match your feet. 2006-04-19 20:55:51 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from El Paso, TX Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Fabulous - I have worn Birkenstock for years, the Arizona is my favorite, and I returned for new insoles and have quite a collection.

I don't most of the time like "faux" leather as it doesn't breathe. However, Birko-Flor is not too warm to be comfortable since this style is so open. They may not be leather, but they do look like it. The thing I really like is that they do not stain if they get wet or something is spilled on the uppers like the suede models do. They are not stiff or hard; they adjust comfortably to the foot.

So, these will be comfortable in the house, yet provide wonderful arch support. 2005-11-24 06:08:59 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Georg R from Mexico Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support 35 Satisfied years!

This is my third pair in this style, and my absolute favorite year-round sandal - with socks inside here in Virginia during the colder winter months. The minute I slide my feet into them, it is the same as the pair I have just finished wearing out, which by the way, I have been wearing for fifteen years! I do not throw the old ones out. For some crazy reason, I hold on to them. I am a retired teacher and plan on wearing this wonderful shoe until I leave this Earth or take them with me if I can.

I've bought 4 pairs of Birks (and many pairs of cheap fakes). By far the Birks outlast and outperform the fakes. They take a while to break in... and definitely invest in the footbed cleaner. On this shoe: the upper strap digs a little into my ankle (it goes up that high on my foot; and while I asked for narrow, it seems wider than the pair of papillos that I have in size narrow. I like loose shoes though, so it works for me. I like the look of the oiled leather... definitely refines the laid back look of the Birks.

Well, in order to crack up some people at school, I bought a pair of the sandals that I said I would never own: the Dwight Schrute sandals. I have little or no arch and these are killer. It took a few hours to get used to the arch support, but now, I would never go back. They have surpassed the comfort level of the Doc Martens I used to own. Awesome sandals and wonderful feel!

BTW - order down, especially if you are ordering a wide width. Even with my wide feet and long-ago-broken toe issues, the wide is PLENTY WIDE.

Originally I ordered a size 42 Men’s Birkenstock Arizona for my boyfriend. They ended up being just a tad too small so we returned them for a Men’s 43 in the cocoa nubuck. At first they felt weird on his feet (as they do for most first time Birk wearers) but after the first few wears they are the most comfortable sandals he owns. I was a little apprehensive about ordering the Narrow Width because he doesn't have "narrow" feet but they turned out to fit perfectly. I have a pair myself and wear them whenever I feel like dressing casual/comfortable. So if you're concerned you might not order the right size don't worry about it because you can always return them. :) Other sandals recommended by reviewer: Bass clogs are wonderful too 2006-09-04 06:52:12 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Wilmington, DE Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support More of the same - This is my fifth or sixth pair of Birkenstock Arizona’s.

The Arizona is the most comfortable of their styles for me & this is my 3rd pair of them. While their narrow is definitely not the AA I most of the time wear, with bulky socks they're perfect. And with an extra hole on the straps, they stay on just perfect without the bulky socks. 2006-08-17 10:38:55 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Montana Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona the only shoe for total comfort - I have worn two pairs of Arizona’s for about 15 years. I wear them all the time: I keep one pair at the back door and one pair at the front door. The cork is starting to disintegrate, but I have not babied them, so it is understandable. A local dealer will refurbish them at low cost. Yes, they are a bit ugly, but for comfort they are the best. I broke both heels two years ago in a fall from a ladder and these were and continue to be Godsends. Big initial investment, but they last forever, and can be repaired indefinitely.

I love Birkenstocks and have several pair. I especially love the Arizona. I have Arizona's in every color, style, and all fabrics available. The original footbed is wonderful. I also love the "soft" footbed that has a layer of latex in the footbed. I wear the soft footbed as slippers! I also wear them out as well, but actually wear the traditional footbed out, and come home and slip into a pair of the softbed Arizonas. They are so much more comfortable than any slipper I have ever had. I have flat feet and back problems. The Birkenstock footbed aligns the body so your posture is improved. I would encourage anyone who hasn't tried Birkenstocks to try the Arizona first. It's a basic that has been around for years. The uppers are fun too. Everything from leather to suede leather to birko-flor. Don't shy away from the birko-flor upper. It's manmade but feels like a soft leather. And most of the time less expensive. They are worth every penny though and don't be discouraged by the price. Birkenstocks last forever! And if the footbed does wear out, they can be replaced! I asked my Podiatrist if it was OK to wear Birkenstocks, he kind of smiled and showed me what he had on his feet--Birkenstocks!! I think if a Podiatrist is wearing Birkenstocks, they must be good for out feet! They are wonderful and I wear nothing else. Try them!

My last pair lasted 9 yrs of constant wear. If you have any type of foot problems or stand a lot these are the sandals for you. I wore these after I broke my ankle when I couldn't get my foot in any other shoe. I LOVE THEM! 2006-06-26 05:39:59 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Erin from Albany, New York Overall: I bought Birkenstock Arizona's for my boyfriend on his birthday and he had never worn Birkenstock's before. He has very flat feet and thought that the regular footbed would not be comfortable for him. The oiled leather doesn't come in the soft footbed so I gave the regular one's a try. He absolutely loves them! He won't take them off. He said that whenever he wears different sandals now, his feet feel uncomfortable since he is so used to the Birk feeling. 2006-06-22 05:14:44 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Maurice Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Can’t beat the Birks - These sandals are such a delight to wear that I get home from somewhere wearing sneakers and I change to my Birks- They provide support, and just make my feet feel good. 2006-06-16 18:22:30 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Virginia Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Birkenstock Arizona - This shoe is very, very comfortable. It's ease of getting it on, for me (I'm "Physically Challenged"), is wonderful and adds to the rating of 5 Stars. The only minus is its "Clunky" look but I have no suggestion for making it look "Sleeker". For me this is minor as the feel, fit and ease of putting it on are most important. 2006-06-12 12:39:04 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Maryland Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Birkenstocks Don't Really Come in Narrow - I ordered a pair to replace the ones I'd been wearing for 15 years, and got the same size I got then. Even with the buckles on the last hole, they were still too loose, so I had to punch new holes in the back strap to make them wearable. I could have returned them, but really wanted this pair so I made them work--just be warned that they aren't really narrow widths. 2006-06-12 09:11:31 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Erik from Blacksburg, VA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great sandal, after minor field modification - After having these shoes a few weeks and making a minor modification, they now fit like gloves. Very comfortable gloves. First - the arch support is pronounced. My arches were a bit sore the first few wears, but I could feel my feet adjusting (for the better, it seems). Second - the field modification: I wear size 11M and originally purchased these in narrow on another customer's recommendation (that the medium is too wide). Well, it turned out that while the sandal was comfortably snug, the sole was a bit too narrow. So I returned those and ordered the 11M. The sole was a perfect fit but now I couldn't make the sandal snug enough! Solution: drill another hole in the straps (I carefully chose the right drill bit then used a power drill). The new holes are indistinguishable from the existing ones. Of course Zappos won't take them back now, but I have no plans to return them... 2006-06-11 15:47:50 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Barb from North Carolina Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona... I can't tell you how much I love this shoe. I have other Birks, but the Arizona looks like a Birk, feels like a Birk, and is the epitome of a Birk! I sold sandals for 25 years and I have never found anything that comes close to the comfort of this shoe. I've had people say they are ugly. As they say, beauty is in the eye...etc etc. I've worn them for years, but in 2003 I had to have back surgery and they were a life saver for me. Love them and will never wear anything else. 2006-06-07 16:12:37 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Paula from Washington State Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoe for "Problem" Feet - I have plantar fasciitis & have to wear orthotics in my lace-up sandals. After I also broke my foot and got my cast off, I despaired of what sandals I would wear, as my foot was still quite swollen & sore & couldn't fit with the orthotic in my shoe. Good old Birkenstocks' Arizona’s to the rescue. A year later, I'm all healed up & I'm still wearing them & they still feel wonderful. A wonderful shoe!

My old pair fit my feet like a glove so I found the new pair rather stiff...but, I know it is worth breaking them in; I expect to wear them for many, many years and many, many miles. It had been so long ago that I bought a pair I didn't remember a problem with sizing however; these ran a full size larger than marked. 2006-05-24 09:33:45 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Kim from Minneapolis Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Just heavenly - This is my 13th pair of Birkenstocks, but my first Arizona’s. I was afraid that a sandal without a back strap would fall off my feet or cause me to twist my ankle, but no! Then again, I ordered a narrow in these, whereas all my other Birks are regular width. I couldn't be happier with the fit or the color (the olive green leather). They did take a bit of breaking in (the leather is stiff at first, but stretches easily enough), and now I wear them all the time. I even use them for my daily walks instead of gym sandals. My feet actually feel better at the end of a long walk in Birks than they do in gym sandals.

Be sure to buy the glue that you use to paint the cork (made by Birkenstock--I bought it at a shoe store) and do it every so often to maintain the cork soles. I bought the narrow for my younger son who has a true narrow foot, and the width is just barely wide enough. Only get the narrow if you have a really narrow foot. Also, these tend to run big. We all got a size smaller than what is suggested when you compare your American shoe size to the metric size. Example: I wear a 7.5 or 8 actually, and that would correspond to a 38 or 39, but my Birkenstocks are 37. Both my boys have suede Arizona’s (black and taupe). The suede stretches a lot, and the shoes that are two years old stretched so much that we had to cut some off and punch new holes. Don't know if the black ones will do this because my other son just got them. They are wonderful looking shoes for a young guy to wear with jeans or shorts. 2006-05-17 13:29:47 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Mesa, AZ Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Birkenstock Arizona - First: These look like a pretty PINK in the photo on line, but they are VERY DARK RED. Unless you have very wide feet, don't bother. I have tried in the past to wear Birks; but until they make a narrow shoe that fits American feet I will order another brand. They are very well made & would be a wonderful shoe if you have wide feet.

If you've never had a pair of these, you should. If you do, you understand. Birkenstocks are simply the most comfortable shoes made, the Ultimate Walking Sandal (a la BMW's line - plus Birk’s are made in Germany). The foot bed somehow evolves into becoming your sole shape, making them the most shaped footwear you could possibly have. I highly recommend these. 2006-04-20 07:09:48 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:James A from Apopka, Florida Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support A basic comfortable sandal - Takes a bit of breaking in, but they are comfortable when fit is adjusted to your foot. Only problem is that the leather is not water proof. So far, these are the most comfortable shoes I have found for everyday wear, and they feel like an orthotic arch support for my flat feet. Choose regular (wide) unless you have a very narrow foot. Also plan to have extra holes punched in the straps to adjust to your foot size. If you are like me and never wore a sandal without heel straps, it does take some adjustment. As always, Zappos is the best shopping site for viewing & choosing a style to match your feet. 2006-04-19 20:55:51 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from El Paso, TX Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Fabulous - I have worn Birkenstock for years, the Arizona is my favorite, and I returned for new insoles and have quite a collection.

I don't most of the time like "faux" leather as it doesn't breathe. However, Birko-Flor is not too warm to be comfortable since this style is so open. They may not be leather, but they do look like it. The thing I really like is that they do not stain if they get wet or something is spilled on the uppers like the suede models do. They are not stiff or hard; they adjust comfortably to the foot. All in all, I was pleased with the Birko-Flor Arizonas. 2006-03-21 13:10:28 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Beth from Brick, New Jersey Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Comfortable - These are as comfortable as I remember my first pair being 15 years ago.

This is my third pair of Arizonas since 1997. They are the best thing you can do for your feet, especially for those of us with pf. If you are new to Birkenstocks, be aware that you have to break these in slowly until they form to your feet (and straps must be loose). Also, be sure to order narrow if your feet are medium width. My last pair was also the navy blue silky suede and I enjoyed them so much I had to have another pair.

I've bought 4 pairs of Birks (and many pairs of cheap fakes). By far the Birks outlast and outperform the fakes. They take a while to break in... and definitely invest in the footbed cleaner. On this shoe: the upper strap digs a little into my ankle (it goes up that high on my foot; and while I asked for narrow, it seems wider than the pair of papillos that I have in size narrow. I like loose shoes though, so it works for me. I like the look of the oiled leather... definitely refines the laid back look of the Birks.

I have always had a stigma about owning these sandals. I have often seen people (older mostly) wearing these, and most of the time with socks. How dorky. Well, in order to crack up some people at school, I bought a pair of the sandals that I said I would never own: the Dwight Schrute sandals. I have little or no arch and these are killer. It took a few hours to get used to the arch support, but now, I would never go back. They have surpassed the comfort level of the Doc Martens I used to own. Awesome sandals and wonderful feel!

BTW - order down, especially if you are ordering a wide width. Even with my wide feet and long-ago-broken toe issues, the wide is PLENTY WIDE.

Originally I ordered a size 42 Men’s Birkenstock Arizona for my boyfriend. They ended up being just a tad too small so we returned them for a Men’s 43 in the cocoa nubuck. At first they felt weird on his feet (as they do for most first time Birk wearers) but after the first few wears they are the most comfortable sandals he owns. I was a little apprehensive about ordering the Narrow Width because he doesn't have "narrow" feet but they turned out to fit perfectly. I have a pair myself and wear them whenever I feel like dressing casual/comfortable. So if you're concerned you might not order the right size don't worry about it because you can always return them. :) Other sandals recommended by reviewer: Bass clogs are wonderful too 2006-09-04 06:52:12 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Wilmington, DE Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support More of the same - This is my fifth or sixth pair of Birkenstock Arizona’s.

The Arizona is the most comfortable of their styles for me & this is my 3rd pair of them. While their narrow is definitely not the AA I most of the time wear, with bulky socks they're perfect. And with an extra hole on the straps, they stay on just perfect without the bulky socks. 2006-08-17 10:38:55 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Montana Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona the only shoe for total comfort - I have worn two pairs of Arizona’s for about 15 years. I wear them all the time: I keep one pair at the back door and one pair at the front door. The cork is starting to disintegrate, but I have not babied them, so it is understandable. A local dealer will refurbish them at low cost. Yes, they are a bit ugly, but for comfort they are the best. I broke both heels two years ago in a fall from a ladder and these were and continue to be Godsends. Big initial investment, but they last forever, and can be repaired indefinitely.

I love Birkenstocks and have several pair. I especially love the Arizona. I have Arizona's in every color, style, and all fabrics available. The original footbed is wonderful. I also love the "soft" footbed that has a layer of latex in the footbed. I wear the soft footbed as slippers! I also wear them out as well, but actually wear the traditional footbed out, and come home and slip into a pair of the softbed Arizonas. They are so much more comfortable than any slipper I have ever had. I have flat feet and back problems. The Birkenstock footbed aligns the body so your posture is improved. I would encourage anyone who hasn't tried Birkenstocks to try the Arizona first. It's a basic that has been around for years. The uppers are fun too. Everything from leather to suede leather to birko-flor. Don't shy away from the birko-flor upper. It's manmade but feels like a soft leather. And most of the time less expensive. They are worth every penny though and don't be discouraged by the price. Birkenstocks last forever! And if the footbed does wear out, they can be replaced! I asked my Podiatrist if it was OK to wear Birkenstocks, he kind of smiled and showed me what he had on his feet--Birkenstocks!! I think if a Podiatrist is wearing Birkenstocks, they must be good for out feet! They are wonderful and I wear nothing else. Try them!

Very comfortable gloves. First - the arch support is pronounced. My arches were a bit sore the first few wears, but I could feel my feet adjusting (for the better, it seems). Second - the field modification: I wear size 11M and originally purchased these in narrow on another customer's recommendation (that the medium is too wide). Well, it turned out that while the sandal was comfortably snug, the sole was a bit too narrow. So I returned those and ordered the 11M. The sole was a perfect fit but now I couldn't make the sandal snug enough! Solution: drill another hole in the straps (I carefully chose the right drill bit then used a power drill). The new holes are indistinguishable from the existing ones. Of course Zappos won't take them back now, but I have no plans to return them... 2006-06-11 15:47:50 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Barb from North Carolina Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Birkenstock Arizona...

I sold sandals for 25 years and I have never found anything that comes close to the comfort of this shoe. I've had people say they are ugly. As they say, beauty is in the eye...etc etc. I've worn them for years, but in 2003 I had to have back surgery and they were a life saver for me.

It had been so long ago that I bought a pair I didn't remember a problem with sizing however; these ran a full size larger than marked. 2006-05-24 09:33:45 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Kim from Minneapolis Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Just heavenly - This is my 13th pair of Birkenstocks, but my first Arizona’s. I was afraid that a sandal without a back strap would fall off my feet or cause me to twist my ankle, but no! Then again, I ordered a narrow in these, whereas all my other Birks are regular width. I couldn't be happier with the fit or the color (the olive green leather). They did take a bit of breaking in (the leather is stiff at first, but stretches easily enough), and now I wear them all the time. I even use them for my daily walks instead of gym sandals. My feet actually feel better at the end of a long walk in Birks than they do in gym sandals.

Be sure to buy the glue that you use to paint the cork (made by Birkenstock--I bought it at a shoe store) and do it every so often to maintain the cork soles. I bought the narrow for my younger son who has a true narrow foot, and the width is just barely wide enough. Only get the narrow if you have a really narrow foot. Also, these tend to run big. We all got a size smaller than what is suggested when you compare your American shoe size to the metric size. Example: I wear a 7.5 or 8 actually, and that would correspond to a 38 or 39, but my Birkenstocks are 37. Both my boys have suede Arizona’s (black and taupe). The suede stretches a lot, and the shoes that are two years old stretched so much that we had to cut some off and punch new holes. Don't know if the black ones will do this because my other son just got them. They are wonderful looking shoes for a young guy to wear with jeans or shorts. 2006-05-17 13:29:47 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Mesa, AZ Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Birkenstock Arizona - First: These look like a pretty PINK in the photo on line, but they are VERY DARK RED. Unless you have very wide feet, don't bother. I have tried in the past to wear Birks; but until they make a narrow shoe that fits American feet I will order another brand. They are very well made & would be a wonderful shoe if you have wide feet.

Great shoe! I wear an 8 in US sizes but in Birks I wear a 38 so keep that in mind, also I would not consider my foot narrow but in Birks the narrow fit works the best for me.

If you've never had a pair of these, you should. If you do, you understand. Birkenstocks are simply the most comfortable shoes made, the Ultimate Walking Sandal (a la BMW's line - plus Birk’s are made in Germany). The foot bed somehow evolves into becoming your sole shape, making them the most shaped footwear you could possibly have. I highly recommend these. 2006-04-20 07:09:48 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:James A from Apopka, Florida Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support A basic comfortable sandal - Takes a bit of breaking in, but they are comfortable when fit is adjusted to your foot. Only problem is that the leather is not water proof. So far, these are the most comfortable shoes I have found for everyday wear, and they feel like an orthotic arch support for my flat feet. Choose regular (wide) unless you have a very narrow foot. Also plan to have extra holes punched in the straps to adjust to your foot size. If you are like me and never wore a sandal without heel straps, it does take some adjustment. As always, Zappos is the best shopping site for viewing & choosing a style to match your feet. 2006-04-19 20:55:51 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from El Paso, TX Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Fabulous - I have worn Birkenstock for years, the Arizona is my favorite, and I returned for new insoles and have quite a collection.

I most of the time wear a 7.5 or 8, and ended up with a 37 N. The materials are good quality. The navy blue color looks nice with jeans. They are comfortable, even on days that we walk for many hours, and show off the multicolored wool socks that I knit as a hobby.

I can't wait every year for warm weather so I can shed my socks and put on my birkes.

I don't most of the time like "faux" leather as it doesn't breathe. However, Birko-Flor is not too warm to be comfortable since this style is so open. They may not be leather, but they do look like it. The thing I really like is that they do not stain if they get wet or something is spilled on the uppers like the suede models do. They are not stiff or hard; they adjust comfortably to the foot. All in all, I was pleased with the Birko-Flor Arizonas. 2006-03-21 13:10:28 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Beth from Brick, New Jersey Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Comfortable - These are as comfortable as I remember my first pair being 15 years ago. I wore my first 2 pairs for about 5 years each before the wore out. That was 5 years of wearing them alot! I ordered the narrow width, even though I actually wear a regular width in other sandals, and they fit fine. I received these 1 business day after I ordered them. 2006-03-16 16:05:22 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Alpena, Michigan Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support 5 Stars all the way!

This was my first pair. It took three tries to get the size and width exactly right, but the final pair fits like they were made just for me. They are comfortable, attractive, and offer me a wonderful opportunity to show off the hand knit socks that are my hobby. If I had it to do over again, I'd get the suede, I think. Love these, though. You can't beat the Zappos’ customer support team for being understanding and helpful. Excellent doing business with them.

This is my third pair of Arizonas since 1997. They are the best thing you can do for your feet, especially for those of us with pf. If you are new to Birkenstocks, be aware that you have to break these in slowly until they form to your feet (and straps must be loose). Also, be sure to order narrow if your feet are medium width. My last pair was also the navy blue silky suede and I enjoyed them so much I had to have another pair. Thank you Zappos for not making me go out shopping at shoe stores! 2006-01-13 07:54:44 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Chaosreins from new hampshire Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Zappos is the shoe god- I ordered these shoes for my teenage daughter for her birthday. Received them 2 days after placing my order. They were too big for her even though I ordered a size smaller than her regular shoe. (Although these are in European whole sizes so it's tough to determine correct size) within 2 days of printing my return label and ordering the very next size down, I had the new shoes and Zappos didn't charge me for the new ones pending their receipt of the returned ones. The smaller size fit my daughter perfectly and she is ecstatic, insisting she's going to wear them even though it's winter. I can't say good enough things about them! 2006-01-04 19:17:43 Birkenstock Arizona Nubuck (Unisex) Reviewer:Anonymous from Aitkin, Minnesota Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Brirkenstock Review - Zappos did a wonderful job!

The minute I slide my feet into them, it is the same as the pair I have just finished wearing out, which by the way, I have been wearing for fifteen years! I do not throw the old ones out. For some crazy reason, I hold on to them. I am a retired teacher and plan on wearing this wonderful shoe until I leave this Earth or take them with me if I can.
