BirkenstockWomen's Arizona Soft Footbed Sandals

I'm at that age now where I need a bit more arch support in my shoes so I went looking for a good summer sandal that I could wear daily. Imagine my surprise to discover that Birkenstocks, the it-shoes of my high school days, had made a comeback. Really happy with this style, whose look I like better than the traditional Birks, but also because the toe piece helps them stay on your feet without your toes having to do extra work with every step. I thought I was ordering a leather style but the mocha color is a faux leather. It's held up well so I don't mind, but if you care about that just make sure you choose a color that comes in leather. There are leather options if you pay more careful attention than I did. You may need to break these in before they're comfortable to wear. I wore them a little too long on my first try and it was really painful. My fault, I didn't follow the breaking-in instructions from Birkenstock. After that I wrote them a couple of hours a day for about a week, gradually increasing the time and got my feet used to them. In a week or less I was wearing them pretty much non-stop. They're great for my feet and I have much less foot pain while wearing them. I've also noticed they've helped with my overpronation, even when I'm wearing other shoes. Highly recommend!

As someone who has to bounce back and forth between size 8 and size 9 because of wide, flat feet, I was a little apprehensive about buying Birkenstocks (my first pair!) online. But my boyfriend has had a few pairs over the years and he absolutely adores them so I took the leap. Since I'm usually around an 8 1/2, I ordered the size 39. Even putting them on for the first time I was amazed that they fit so well, and they've only been getting better. The toe strap is comfortable and the entire look of the sandal is adorable, comfortable, and practical! I can wear them all day and then take them out for a night on the town!BONUS! I have slight knee and back problems from various injuries and a history of horseback riding, but these shoes are so supportive and wonderful that the aches never even show up! I love these so much, I wish I could wear them all the time!!

I think these babies may be just what my ole plantar fasciitis feet need :) some review said that after wearing these a couple of hours your feet would hurt WELL MY FEET HURT ANYWAY!!! been wearing them for about 3 hours and my feet dont hurt any more than before actually they feel better, I know that sounds crazy but its true :) :) but who knows will update in a few day :) so far LOVE THESE and on top of that they are very cute sandals!!! LOVE THE MOCHA :) BEAUTIFUL COLOR :) BY THE WAY THIS IS MY FIRST PAIR OF BIRKENSTOCK :) UPDATE: STILL LOVE THESE BABIES WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME AND WHEN I GET UP IN THE MORNINGS I DON'T HOBBLE AROUNG 5 OR 10 MINUTES ANYMORE :) As of now I am the very proud owner of 3 pair of these WONDERFUL sandals :) UPDATE: STILL LOVE BIRKENSTOCK NO MORE SORE ACHEY FEET :)

These shoes are true to fit and feel great on your more then I ever could imagine

When I first got these shoes they were so stiff, but I could not take them off my feet because they were just so awesome. When I first wore them it was on a long college visit, but it was too much walking for not have been broken in yet and my feet rubbed against the bottom of the shoes and developed a blister. I stopped wearing them for a few days and then I wore them again and they did not leave a blister. I suggest to wear them sporadically at first and then after a few times they start to feel amazing. I just love them now because they remind me of walking barefoot. They are extremely comfy and now I never want to take them off. I would recommend this product to everyone.

This leather toe strap broke, rendering the shoes useless. The cork cracked at the bend and started to separate in the front and peel towards the back. I purchased these shoes on July 29, 2019. They broke on July 27, 2020. They didn’t even make it a year. The last pair of true Birks I had lasted 10 years so these obviously are not true Birks. I did pay a true price for them though. Ugh...Lesson learned. There is no return option or replacement option, though I will attempt to contact the seller. It’s a shame because these shoes felt and fit fine. Don’t buy these shoes. It’s a waste of (a lot of) money.

Due to joint damage in my feet, I'm no longer able to wear flip flops in the summer. Not only that, but my feet are horribly narrow. This caused me to go on a great sandal adventure thru Amazon where I tried everything from Reefs, Olukai, Rainbow, Chaco, Orthoheel. All of them "flopped" too much due to my narrow foot and caused more pain in my feet- enter Birkenstocks. I initially purchased the Birkfluor in the Mayari style, but ended up purchasing a leather pair from a different retailer due to Amazon's color/size availability. The leather is MUCH more comfortable between my toes and I feel looks a lot nicer. I'm typically a 9.5 in sneakers and anywhere from an 8.5-9.5 in sandals/casual shoes and I ordered the 39 in the regular width since there's a limited selection of narrow. They may be slightly short based on their sizing recommendations, but I'm happy with the fit. They do take time to break in/break you in and they are expensive, but I think these will last me and my grumpy feet for years.

I have been a Birkenstock customer for over twenty years (this is my third pair) and the Mayari are another great addition to my collection. They are one of the most comfortable shoes on the market and they last for years and years. I love the more updated style and fun colors available. They look cute and casual with shorts, capris, or a casual skirt. I even wear them around my house as slippers when my feet get tired. Great product at a reasonable price.
