The BIRKENSTOCK Arizona sandal is a true classic. The unisex sandal, individually adjustable with two straps, comes in a casual version in oiled Nubuck leather. The soft leather, worked seamlessly, enhances the natural and artisanal style of this fashionable sandal. Birkenstock reinvents a fair-weather favorite in the Madrid Birko Flor sandal. This classic with a cork midsole for premium comfort boasts a slender slide strap in high-gloss synthetic for a festive finish. A grippy outsole ensures you frolic with ease wherever the sun takes you in Birkenstock. This is the real deal. Cork, leather, a buckle or two: these are the simple ideas that have made feet happy for over two hundred years, and that's the original Birkenstock. These shoes are made in Germany since 1774. No smoke, no mirrors, and no gizmos are needed. You walk, the shoe molds to your foot. The shape of the Original Birkenstock Footbed enables body weight to be distributed evenly over the whole foot, providing it with optimal support. Review: very happy with my purchase - OK. Something that NEEDS to be said. These are only carried in the NARROW width. The regular width doesn't start until the larger men's sizes. I wear a 37, but have WIDE feet. When they arrived and I noticed this on the package, I panicked. However, they seemed to run wider than a typical narrow Birkenstock. Since they are basically the same material as Crocs, on a whim I googled "can you stretch Crocs". I was amazed that you can! I read all sorts of techniques: dipping them in boiling water, putting them in your dishwasher (!) , but the least scary technique said to hold a hairdryer on them until they warm up. So that's what I did. As soon as they got very warm, I put them on with a pair of THICK socks and wore them around the house for a while. They fit PERFECTLY!!!! GRANTED, these efforts were only necessary because of my very wide feet! If you don't have that issue, they'll be fine right out of the box. I love that they are the same Arizona design I'm used to, offer the same support, but are basically indestructible! The beach, the garden, the pool, no worries! And no cork to inevitably crumble. I love these shoes! I was somewhat apprehensive about ordering overseas, but the seller was amazing with correspondence, wrote in perfect English, and they arrived WITH STANDARD SHIPPING in about 10-12 days. I love these shoes! True Birkenstock quality and comfort at a fraction of the cost. Review: Fine. - Shoe is made of softish rubbery plastic (?) which makes them comfortable, affordable and not QUALITY but great for the grocery and beach. Some folks wear Birkinstocks to an office. Most of us would not wear these there but lots of other places without shame. Bored with current isolation so pouring my heart over these sandles. Buy them, you'll like them and they need the company of your other shoes, not just ones inside bags inside boxes with not a lick of foot odor. Thank you for listening. Marilyn

they are the most comfortable sandal I own
I don't take these babies off, I bought them in the beginning of summer and I think I've worn other shoes only a hand full of times, they are the most comfortable sandal I own. The quality is awesome too , they are super light! I lifeguard and put a lot of wear in these past few months and they look new with the bottom barley showing wear ! ****update**** still my favorite sandals, I continue to wear these through the summer and now a few months after I've attached photos of the sandal closer up and the wear on them , they show creases but no breaking yet & hope they continue to last me !

DESCRIPTION IS A LIE- THESE ARE NOT LEATHER
BUYER BEWARE. I am a long time Birkenstock buyer/wearer. Birkenstock sells leather and non-leather shoes. This seller's description states that these are leather- this is a lie. These are NOT leather/suede. I have purchased the non-leather from Birkenstock in the past and hated them, although the price was cheaper, it was not worth it, they didn't last more than one season. My leather Birkenstocks - I've had for as long as 20 years. These are being sold as leather, with a leather price and they ARE NOT LEATHER/SUEDE. BUYER BEWARE. The seller should be banned or penalized in some manner. To add insult to injury, I had to pay $11.69 to return them.

I love the idea of them but find them hard to ...
I love the idea of them but find them hard to wear because of how white they are - it's just a little too much white. I wish the sole were brown like a regular Berk. They also get a little sweaty after a while but they're great in the rain, unlike regular Berks. They're comfortable and I do like them.

Best. Shoes. Ever.
So you wanna be as cool as MK & A in their hard to find and expensive all black (no annoying cork to ruin your thoughtless yet thoughtful all black ensemble)...well, why pay 300+ when you can get the real deal Birkenstocks here?!?!?! You have to have patience- they come all the way from Germany. But think of the smug glee and internal squeals that you'll have when other fashionista wannabees (I'm one stomach flu away from my ideal weight) ask you where you got your black/black Birks... and you get to say, all deadpan. "Germany". These are beautiful, they fit perfectly and you can be stylish and not destroy your feet. The only issue is that I literally want to wear them every day. Every. Day.

Great Vacationing Sandals
These Birkenstocks are fantastic. They are the perfect summertime/beach vacation shoes. They fit true to size and I have enjoyed being able to wear comfortable shoes to the beach that won't get ruined by the sand or water! I have had the black ones for a year now, and despite being worn very often they are still holding up very nicely, which I was not anticipating with the material they are made out of. Overall, I would highly recommend!

It runs a little bigger
I find them to be comfortable but they did give me a blister on one of my fat toes .
