Breaking them in is tough but worth 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.

Beware of knock offs
UPDATE:It appears that these are the same style of Birkenstocks that are sold at Zappo's(black writing on sole), and I can't imagine they would be selling knock offs. I do not understand why these would be lesser quality than the ones bought on Birkenstock's actual website, but that may be the case.I believe these are counterfeit, sold by “shoe brands USA.” Especially given the name of the store, I expected these to be shipped from U.S. but they were shipped (quickly) from the UK.(Birkenstock’s website says shoes shipped into US from other countries means fake.)1) Something seemed off and I realized that the stock photos show yellow writing on the sole and these have black. That was the first red flag.2) They also do not have a number imbedded on the inside of the end of the strap.3) Some of the glue is visible where the upper connects to the base which is uncharacteristic of Birkenstock craftsmanship.4) There is a small dented scuff in the inner heel (pictured) which also seems off.5) And then after reading another review here of the same shoes from the same seller, I realized the outer strap is also already coming away from the shoe bed on their shoes.If these are truly counterfeit as I suspect, they are unbelievably close to the real thing. I almost can’t believe it. The box and packaging are a perfect match. They are high quality leather and smell like rich leather. The shape of the shoe and the design on the bottom is perfect. None of the flaws would bother me except that they signify counterfeit which means they won’t carry the longevity and quality of the real thing that I paid good money for. I bought these discounted from $125 to $99 but obviously if they are fake and won’t last nearly as long then it was not worth the small discount. I will be buying only from the official Birkenstock website. Buyer beware.

BEWARE: Not Authentic
These are not authentic Birkenstock’s and I highly doubt they are actually leather. I purchased a pair from this site, and then purchased the same style and color from Nordstrom (for only $15 more). There is definitely a difference in materials used throughout the shoe. The footbed is very hard and the contours are exaggerated compared to the pair from Nordstrom. While this might be a good enough dupe, it isn’t worth the price and possible foot strain from the stiffness of the shoe.

Perfect!
Love them! Don’t pay attention to bad reviews. I have a very narrow foot and ordered a 38N. They fit perfect. These are the real deal. Delivered in the box just as if I had bought them in a local store. If you have never owned a pair of Birkenstocks they will hurt your feet a tad until you break them in.

Maybe not made for the flat-footed...
After reading all the rave reviews on Birkenstocks and what they can do for your foot health, I decided to give them a try. I have flat feet and a history of plantar fasciitis. Wearing them out of box, it felt like I was wearing 2 wooden planks with what feels like a mountain for "arch support." 5 minutes in and my feet were KILLING me. I tried all the "break-in" methods online to no avail. After wearing for 2 days straight they didn't get any better... and I started limping to walk. Just standing in them became unbearably painful. I'm returning these. I'm not sure if I am supposed to "brave it out" longer or if these just aren't made for the flat-footed. Either way, a sandal that has now made it painful to walk in anything isn't something I can afford as I am constantly on my feet.TL;DR extremely, unbearably uncomfortable. Maybe not suited for flat-footed people. YMMV

Shoe tore within days
I immediately loved these sandals as soon as I started wearing them- comfortable, stylish, etc. I took them with on a vacation to Michigan and within a couple days of wearing them a tear developed where the strap connects to the shoe. Very disappointed. These shoes should not tear that quickly with gentle wear.

The size chart is not correct
The size chart is not correct. I wear a size 6 in almost all shoes, but a 6.5 in running shoes. The size chart for this pair of Birkenstocks and others I was looking at prior to ordering recommended I order a 37 if I wear a US size 6. I knew this wasn't right, since I have many pairs of European shoes and they're always a 36. I ordered the 36 and they're still too roomy. I'm keeping them because online exchanges are such a hassle, but the 35 would have been better. They really need to get their size info fixed. It's disappointing to spend nearly $100 on a pair of shoes and not be completely satisfied with them. The reason for the good star rating despite this is because the sizing issues have nothing to do with the overall quality of the shoes.

These are men’s sizes even though they say women’s!
These are advertised as women’s. They say women’s size 8 on my order as well. They are a men’s 8 so entirely way too big and not true to advertisement.

Indémodable. Au top
Qualité au top, conforme à la photo et bon prix, malheureusement trop grande. J'ai pris un 43 alors que je fais une taille entre 43 et 44. Je dois changer contre un 42. Attention donc pour votre commande.N'hésitez pas à cliquer sur utile afin que mon commentaire soit mis en avant pour prevenir les autres. Merci

Fabulous, functional and feel amazing on
Love Birkenstock Arizona’s, so comfy, and look amazing with anything, the last year or so I’ve been suffering with plantar fasciitis and summer sandals are a big no no pain wise, my feet have never been happier since getting Birkenstock’s, they are amazing, I’m now the proud owner of 12 pairs... and counting 🤣

unmöglich echt.... wenns ginge, würde ich 0 Sterne vergeben
bin mir nicht sicher, ob die Birkenstock original sind, hart wie ein Brett, lassen sich kaum biegen, sind zudem nicht gerade leicht. Geliefert in einem komplett weissen, weichen, billigen, unbedruckten Schuhkarton, ohne jeglichen Aufkleber bzw. Hinweis von Birkenstock.meine letzten Schlapfen vom Diskonter um 10,- sind wesentlich wertiger als dieses Paar.werde die Pantoletten zurückschicken und originale im Birkenstock-Webshop bestellen.durch diese Lieferung aufgescheucht hab ich mal Dr.Google befragt, dabei jede Menge Artikel über Birkenstock-Fälschungen bei Amazon gefunden.Schade....

Thought narrow fit and size not suitable
I am so disappointed with these sandals, they are well made. I ordered the correct size at least I thought I had based on the previous pair I ordered. The first set were cheaper but very wide and had to tighten the straps to the lowest level. Due to the fact they were so wide I thought the narrow fitting would be suitable as I have what I consider narrow feet. But they are not big enough in size and not comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis and as my daughter swears by these shoes I bought my first pair which did help but to wide. Second pair I honestly thought they would be ok but I cant wear them my toes hang over and not comfortable so I have wasted my money. As I had worn them I couldnt return them.

a catalogue of errors and a misleading and incorrect listing - do not buy
these shoes are stated as madrid.... THEY ARE NOT... they are the madrid EVA... a very different cheap full blown plastic croc type lightweight cheap looking flimsy sandal, not leather as stated, so they are being mis-sold on here. they are not cheap either at over 30 pounds for a slip on pool slide essentially. the box stated madrid eva, my invoice and receipt stated madrid 'leather' .. it doesnt stop there though, i ordered a size 4 they sent a size 5 and the colour is nothing like that pictured, i was sent a light army green not the dark green pictured on amazon. they went back for a refund, in the normal way via the amazon returns process. .. however when you raise an issue with this company they try to get you to send back in some weird way by taking it to a locker and filling in various forms, this is a scam, do not do this open a return on amazon take to the post office let the post office print a sticker from your qr code sent via email and wait for your refund, if you dont then they will string you along for weeks or not refund at all, see other reviews. i know mistakes can happen, but this isnt a mistake i feel they are trying to mislead people on here and the listing should be edited or taken down until the matter is rectified.
