Birkenstock Arizona SFB Mules/Clogs Women Gold Mules Shoes

My other half is a big Birkenstock fan and has been trying to talk me into a pair for the past 3 years. While I'm stubborn, he's patient and determined... he eventually won. I purchased these as my first pair. Mainly because they looked like soft fabric rather than the hard, stiff upper that I know would give me blisters. It happens to me with every pair of shoes that are stiff if I can't wear socks.Ordering was not the most straight forward experience. I'm a standard UK, women's size 6. The size options for these were 5, 5.5 or 7. As a result, I had to check the Birkenstock site to see if this was an actual thing. As it turned out, their 5.5. is pretty much a 6.So, I selected the 5.5 and committed to them. They arrived the next day and are much better than I expected. The upper part of the shoes is soft and does not rub. The lower supports my foot nicely. The only issue is that, because it is moulded to the foot, it sometimes sticks before releasing with a 'farty' noise. I wear mine around the house so it doesn't matter but I could imagine that this could make for some awkward misunderstandings in public. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the purchase. :D

My last pair of Birkenstock Arizona sandals were the best slip-in/slip-out open-backs ever, and lasted five years. So when I decided to replace them I was delighted to discover the same design still available online. In my case they are only worn around the house and never go outside, but they would be perfectly good as outdoor summer shoes as well.The Arizonas have cork inner soles which feel very rigid when new, but don’t be deterred: the cork slowly ‘gives’ as it moulds to your foot. Adjust the strap-buckles to fit your feet, and within a couple of weeks they feel delightfully comfortable. Because of the moulded-cork inners they always stay on your feet even when walking or running, despite being open-backed. The sandals are available in a range of colours from classic black and various brown shades, to a funky blue.Eventually after a few years of wear, the cork slowly separates from the rubber sole and that’s when you’ll need a new pair. However considering the quality of the product, they are outstanding value.If you’ve never worn Birkenstock sandals before and are uncertain of your size, best go to a high-street/shopping mall retailer and try them until you find your size. After that initial purchase, you can buy subsequent/replacement pairs cheaper online.

Been wearing these for many years but usually bought in a shop, size 39. after reading the reviews about sizes I ordered carefully under UNISEX shoes. I ordered a 37 which seemed the correct size (6/7) stated. When they came they were not the correct size, so I ordered up to a 38 which have come today and they are still on the small side, I should have just ordered the 39 like my other pairs. Might be best to try on in shops or just order your usual European size.these shoes are wide and comfy and the more you wear them the more comfy they become and they last ages, coping well with rain and all British weathers!I was mega impressed how easy it was to send the small ones back and have the new ones delivered quickly. Not keen on Amazon usually tbh but fair play to them for the no fuss experience this was.

It was my own fault, even though I know that im a shoe size 36 in european sizing, I checked the Amazon size chart and it said 38 was a 5, i checked my other birkenstocks and they said 36, I ummed a bit then thought perhaps it was because they were a different style, surely Amazon would know what size was what, I went with Amazon and received a pair of massive shoes that i had to return, now have ordered size 36 and surprise they fit and are fantastic, These are fantastic lovely and comfortable sandals, i re ordered in brown as there was no blue, I am happy....

The Service and the sandals were excellent, however I ordered my usual size. When I tried them on they were at least one, possibly two sizes, too big, so they were returned. No reflection on the seller.

I ordered these lovely sandals in the medium size (NOT NARROW) and what did I get : NARROW! So disappointed, now I will have to find a shop to get the same product and the gift card given for this purchase goes to waste! I cannot tell you how angry I am...

I wish Birkenstock would produce More vegan lines , they are very limited and use animal skins which is cruel, so me and many others will not wear them, they should also cater to wider feet , as they sell only narrow or standard which can be too narrow for many of us.

I love these shoes, they are really comfortable & I wear them all the time. I bought the Arizona because they seem more supportive & I was right. The high strap & contoured soft footbed are great. They are not the most attractive sandal I have worn, but for everyday wear I like their quirky look. I normally get a 6 wide fitting & the normal 39 are perfect. In fact I have them on the first hole so if you have a thinner foot I would go for the slim fit. N is definitely NOT for narrow as one reviewer suggests. Birkenstock also recommend you get your normal size, not a size smaller so your foot can be encased in the footbed.
