Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Vegan - Birkibuc™ (Unisex)

Love the shoe. Love the color. Hate the vegan straps, they are cracking. Don’t buy them if you want them to last more than one season. They WILL NOT last. Way too much money for them cracking in less than 3 months

I'm reviewing the vegan Arizona Birkenstocks in the color 'light rose birkibuc'. (I own the dark red vegan ones and they are slightly different, so this review is specifically for the color light rose.) These light rose colored birks are beautiful! Just the color and look I wanted. I love that Birkenstock is finally making VEGAN birks!! Yay! The straps have a soft inner lining which feels nice on my feet. For sizing, I'd recommend going down a size. I'm a 6-6.5 and the 36 fits me perfectly. The recommended 37 is way too big. Oh and I got the 'narrow, but I have regular feet and they worked for me so don't be scared off by that, just try them. This is my second pair of vegan Birks and I have to say my one qualm with the light rose ones is that there is no traction on the bottom. There is some sort of metallic coating and it is slippery AF. I slide around on my hardwood & tile floors and honestly it feels unsafe. I love them otherwise so I will be keeping them and maybe I'll try to somehow add traction myself? I dunno, but Birkenstock, if you are listening, please fix this!

Sizing-wise, I have wide, flat feet with lots of problems that started when I was 10 (genetics - thanks grandpa!), and I've sworn by Birkenstocks for two decades. In US sizing, I'm a Women's size 7. In EU sizing, it's better for me to pick 37 or 37.5, even though all size conversions between US/EU say I'd best fit a 38 - which is especially weird since I have wide feet, but it could be that I just have somewhat short feet? In this case, I already know I'll fit size 37 Regular in Birkenstocks since these are not my first Birks, and these are a perfect fit. Comparing these vegan ones to the very worn leather ones I still have, the straps aren't as flexible, though I do recall there being a break-in period for the straps on my other ones. The fleece-y lining on the vegan straps is a nice touch since I could see the straps starting to rub if there wasn't any lining. The faux suede that's covering the cork footbed is nice quality. I'm excited to wear these around a lot so the cork can conform to my foot shape. Arch support is great on these, just as all other Birkenstocks. I'm extra happy they have a vegan version, and that Zappos carries the vegan option in the Regular width, too!

Fits true to size. I got the Narrow, though my feet are normal women's width, and this worked perfectly. I wish there were more vegan options; the style is a little bland, though ordering in red helped give them some life.

I wear a size 7 1/2 shoe but Birkenstock 37 fits me perfectly. I'm aware of this so I always buy the 37 and ignore the size chart. Love all my Birkies!!!!

I bought these last summer and I love them! I have worn Birks for years, but this was the first pair that I didn't need to break in. I have a very wide and flat foot, and usually go through a breaking in process with Birkenstocks but these were a bit wider and fit right away! I will say though, that the lining of the upper straps does get a bit warmer and tends to absorb sweat. All of my Birks get smelly in the summer but these tend to smell a lot worse. I think it has something to do with what they are made out of other than the normal leather or nubuck. However, I still love them.

I LOVE these shoes. They were my first pair of Birks and they totally live up to the hype. I appreciate the vegan option, and love the color. The biggest bummer is that I had to return them because the footbed on both shoes started separating vertically down the outside of the shoe! I’m hoping that it’s a fluke because I want another pair! I appreciate Zappos customer service for refunding my money.

Love these! Normally wear 8.5-9 and the 40 fits great. Based on other reviewers recommendations, I ordered the narrow which I never would have thought to do. I like the fit, not too loose and not too snug. Love the vegan option, will see if there is any difference in wear. Color is great.

These shoes are amazing! The vegan leather is instantly comfy - no break in period at all - and and the color reads almost as a neutral. I may throw away all of my other shoes and only wear these from now on!

The shoes are a comfortable fit once they adhere well to your feet. It takes some time, and I would recommend wearing socks of a mid-weight in the beginning.????

I have several pairs of Birkenstocks and they are consistently great. They have helped with my plantar fasciitis by offering excellent arch support. I have one pair I just use as slippers so my arches are always supported.

I ordered a size 40, I am a 9 women’s. I ordered them both in regular and narrow. I am glad I did as the narrow ones fit so much better. I do not have narrow fit, just average width. Love them and the red is a nice deep red.

I got these for the color - I loved the look of the Olive and they are even nice in person. Long time Berk wearer so I was pleased with the size and comfort of these shoes. Definitely recommend these to anyone, especially with the bright colors the vegan style allows. Thanks Zappos!

They were so comfy right out the gate! I wore them to Disneyland on the 3rd day I had them and no blisters after 9 miles of walking!

I love these Birkenstock’s. I have them in red and now I just got them in the green. I have a lot of foot problems after having three surgeries on one foot and since I started wearing Birkenstock’s my foot pain is dramatically better. Also, I am an ethical vegan and I don’t wear leather, so this line of vegan Birkenstock’s is perfect for me. I highly recommend!!!

I bought these mainly for the color. I wish they came in the soft footbed. I was on the fence at first but after wearing them a week they are starting to mold to my feet and get comfortable. The soft footbed birkenstocks are immediately comfortable when I put them on. These are vegan but that must just be the straps. They looks and feel like other birkenstock straps to me. They are soft against my feet. I wear normal width in the Florida style, but narrow width in this Arizona style.

The Birkenstock Vegan styles smell. Really bad. I do not suffer from smelly feet with any other shoe but their soles make your feet smell like vinegar. And their customer service rep just said that to prevent this they shouldn't be worn every day which is ridiculous.

Extremely comfortable, very cute and most importantly, VEGAN! No animals need to suffer to be fashionable.

I'm a first time buyer of Birkenstock, didn't know they came in narrow. Fit pretty good right out of the box. Getting better all the time as the shoe molds to my feet.

Love my vegan Birkenstocks! The light rose color is fantastic. So glad more companies are offering vegan options!

LOVE these fun, sweet and feminine Birks! the color is perfect fir all my summer clothes. I was hesitant to try the vegan bc I’m such a fan of the original leather but these exceeded my expectation!

Definitely runs a little large. I measure at 9.5 on a Brannock and a 42 is roomy but not unwearable due to my arch length. We’ll see about durability, but they at least are less dorky than wearing Oofos everywhere!

I love the light pink color with the silver buckles. This is my second pair of vegan birkenstocks. The vegan footbed feels smoother and softer than the original footbed. Definitely like these!!!

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

Best shoes ever, super comfy! I will order one more for sure!
