Birkenstock Arizona

A word of caution: if you want a woman's fit, make sure you order the correct European equivalent size! Don't just order a "7" or you might get a 41 - make sure you order a European 40 (as per Birkenstock's own size guide). I placed my first order in a rush, made that mistake and had to exchange them. I love these: light, well made, exceedingly comfortable. I do think that a lot of issues & niggles some people report is because they haven't read Birkenstock's own advice on sizing and fit.

I don't know how these could be sold for just £20. I usually buy direct from Birkenstock, and the first pair of 'bargain' Birkenstocks I bought from Amazon seemed to bear out the idea that the manufacturers were supplying better quality - they were really thin, floppy leather which stretched so much that I had to have new holes put into the straps; however these are of premier quality.

After reading the many reviews concerning the sizing of these scandals, I was a little dubious about ordering a pair for my husband. However after lengthy research, I decided to 'bite the bullet' and placed an order. They arrived within the scheduled delivery time and fit perfectly! My husband is usually a size 9 but I ordered a size EU40 normal width. He was pleasantly surprised and is looking forward to wearing them on holiday and in the summer time. I would definitely use this website again...Great service, great fit, great price, great buy!

As I take a 5 in shoe due to swelling I ordered a 4, but I started getting cramp in the feet due to clawing my toes trying to keep on, I found the sand less in a local shop and tried a smaller size, walked around the shop and what a difference they were brilliant. So I bought a leather hole punch and put extra holes in the straps. This has sorted out the cramping. I couldn't have sent them back as I'd walk quit a bit int them on the beach they were significantly marked. But on the hole a very comfy sandle whished I'd tried the sizing in th shop first before ordering them.

Love my Birkenstocks, these are to replace another pair that lasted for years. I love being able to stand and walk for hours at a time without any back or knee aches. Looking out for another pair in brown. Having a very broad foot (eeee) size 5, I got a size smaller size 4/37 in Normal width (shown by just the outline of the tiny foot pic on the insole) and I made an extra hole on the straps nearest my ankles and they are perfect. Great support for high arches.

I ordered these for my holiday, within 2 days of being away the strap glue has come off on one of the sandals

Like all my previous Birkenstocks, these are exactly what I'd expect. OK, you wouldn't buy them for their elegance or good looks but as usual, I got them out of the box, adjusted the straps to fit, slipped them onto my feet and was almost deafened by my feet saying "aaah, thank you". That was last Tuesday, and I've put them on every day since and worn them all day. It's Sunday today, and the only reason I can think of to wear different foowear for the rest of the summer/autumn is to change to a pair of Birkenstocks that better match the clothes I'll be wearing that day (or to go to a posh party - though I do have a silver pair for that!).

After carefully weighing up the odds, checking the size chart and trying the shoe on in store, I ordered this clog, and its too small. I am a 7 (40/41) depending on the shoe style and yet this thing is small. Would have been better off with an 8. If I had followed all the other comment about order a size smaller - who are these little people with tiny feet anyway! It would have been 10 times worse. Given that this is the regular not narrow fit makes it all the more mind boggling. So there we are people, beware the sizing issue.
