Birkenstock Arizona Sandals

First of all Birkenstocks no longer sells through amazon. With that said I have been wearing birkenstocks for 25 years. I fell in love with them in high school and never stopped loving them. Then they started doing the soft bed and my love grew so much stronger. Like walking on a pillow. Which is why I was stumped when I received these. Yes, they look like birkenstocks. But they just dont fit like them. I paid $30 extra for those soft beds. Except these were not soft. They were also more dry than other birkenstocks. It prevented them from properly molding to my foot. I have 4 other pairs that do not have the soft bed but after a week of wear are a perfect fit. Not so with these. In fact, my back started reacting to the stress of standing on them after 30 minute intervals. I bought them to help my foot health and they just made it bad. I kept telling myself it was in my head. I went shopping last weekend at a comfort shoe store. Just for kicks I tried on some soft bed birkenstocks. It was like walking on clouds. I was reminded why I love birkenstocks. The shoe that was sold to me on amazon is not a birkenstock. It is not a soft bed. I feel that I have been scammed with this product and I hope that Amazon stops selling products that have no integrity.

Birkenstocks never disappoint! I wear a ladies’ size 7 and I now have three pairs of sandals in 38, they fit me perfectly. (I have narrow feet, so I did purchase the 38 narrow size.) These copper colored Arizonas are gorgeous and were definitely worth the splurge. My only advice is that if you get them make sure you know how you want them to fit… snug or on the looser side. They will stretch and the buckles will leave a mark on the leather. I wish I had kept the straps tighter and had let them stretch. At first I thought I had them too tight so I wore them looser. They got too loose for my liking and when made them tighter, I noticed the buckles had already marked the leather and now I can’t do anything about it.

These sandals hurt my feet so bad at first. My feet would be aching to the point where I’d have foot cramps as soon as I took them off and I would have to sit down. However.... now that they are broken in... I love them! The sole contoured to the shape of my foot. The straps are adjustable. If you are accustomed to wearing cheapo flip flops/sandals from Target/Walmart, you will have an adjustment period. But all in all, I feel safer wearing these sturdy sandals. I got them muddy by accident, so I let them soak in a bucket of warm water and they cleaned up just like new. They seem to be well made.

I know there are a lot of fake Birkenstock’s out there, and I was apprehensive about getting these. I did a lot of research before taking a chance. They ARE the real thing. I have had a lot of Birkenstock’s in my day, all of them bought in a store or on their official website. This time I had a gift card for Amazon, so I was determined to use it. I only wear Birkenstocks (I live in Texas where it’s hot or warm pretty much all year), so I am obviously a fan. They are prizey, but worth the money, I think. I wear mine all day, every day and they last me 1-2 years. Quality product. As usual, they have to be worn in, and they become softer and more comfortable the more you wear them. They are hard when they first arrive, but wear them around the house the first week or two, and you’ll be good. The pictures are after I wore them for about two weeks. They shipped from Leipzig, Germany and arrived with DHL, after just 2 days. I was very pleasantly surprised since they weren’t supposed to arrive for another month! I did read somewhere that Birkenstock will only sell their shoes through Amazon until April 2019, so be aware of that.

This shoe was and still is superbly comfortable. I couldn’t believe the cushioned support from a cork footbed “flip flop” style sandal. The shoes go with everything and the color is the main attraction. However, after only wearing them August, September and part of October, the shoe is beat-up! They look as though I have had them for years and wore them through rugged terrain. They were only worn on grass, pavement or indoors. The leather is scratched, ripping or actually looks more like peeling and the buckle is scratched and tarnish. I will no longer wear them other than around the house or to do messy outside work. They are actually embarrassing when on my feet and look old, beat down and dirty. For the brand and price tag, I expected to get a lot of use out of these. Hoping Amazon will stand behind the product they sell; as it was Prime, and either replace or reimburse.
