Birkenstock Arizona Unisex Suede Soft Footbed Sandal

Several friends have been wearing their Birkenstocks for years and always recommended them. I never wore sandals, prefering my shoes to fit snugly and not expose my toes. When I finally decided to get a pair, I went directly to Amazon and was bewildered by all the models and sources there. My wife had a pair of "Arizona" sandals, so I looked at the size charts and based on my other shoes ordered a pair of size 43s from one of Amazon''s partners -Heart & Sole. The shoes arrived and were too large, sliding off easily and placing the arch support, uncomfortably, too far forward. I checked with the local shoe store where my wife had earlier found hers on sale. I was told that Birkenstocks run large (towards the largest U.S. size in the charted range). I got a reply to my late-night email to Heart & Sole, the very next day, offering to replace the shoes, with the next smaller size 42, by return post if I enclosed just $8.00 for shipping (only 10 cents more than it cost me to ship the originals back to them). The new shoes arrived faster than expected and fit very well. It takes a few days to get used to these shoes, if you have never worn sandals before, but the kind of full foot support they provide is wonderful and habit forming. They are shaped to fit the whole bottom of your foot, even including a small, shaped ridge under the first joint of your toes. Once you get used to the fact that your heal will rise slightly out of the shoe as, when walking, you roll onto your toes, you will feel free of the slight strain needed to bend the bottoms of standard shoes as you walk. Shortly, you stop worrying about that, since the back of the heal of the Birkenstock is ridged to pocket the heal of your foot when it comes back down and the shoes will stay in place. I am very happy, as are my feet, which can breathe freely, even though I wear socks with my Birkenstocks. I also recommend Heart & Sole as a place to buy yours.

They are birkswhat else can be said.GO to the expensive shoe store.Try a pair on and make sure the you get the size correct.I would not order just based on numerical conversion-Know your number.Purchase on Amazon, break them in, and you are now the coolest kid on the block.

I had owned two pairs of Birkenstock Arizona previous to this new one. The first was purchased in 1990 and lasted until 2000, the second was purchased in 2000 and lasted until 2009. This one should last many years as well, although the top leather strap may be a little weaker than the previous ones since it is collapsing when the other sandal is laid on it, but this will not affect durability since the straps last longer than the tread, insole and footbed.
