Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle - Nubuck Leather

Fit is spot on. I really love the updated buckle. Fun to have a fresh look to my favorite sandals.

They are stiffer than other Birks I've worn, but that speaks to quality, I think. They should last longer. They look great, but won't walk through a metal detector!

I have been a fan of Birkenstocks for a long time- so this big buckle style is a great addition to my collection. The oiled leather was a little stiff at first but has softened and now feels great--I wore them in the house 3-4 days to speed up the softening. The larger buckle looks great for the Fall--especially with jeans- adds a bit of a "cooler weather" look with the added hardware! I have them in black and wear them almost everyday- they fit like all Birkenstocks-so once you find your size--go for it!

I was worried about the width but I ordered them anyway. I have wide feet, little snug at first but they feel fine after about a week. I love the big gold buckle, super cute!! I loved them so much that I ordered a pair in 3 colors!!

I love these! The color is perfect. No need to break in, super comfortable. The big buckle is a great added touch, and it is not plastic as some reviewers have mentioned. I'm tempted to order a second pair to have when these wear out.

LOVE THIS SHOE. I’m a Birkenstock fan to begin with I was nervous narrow wouldn’t fit my wide foot, (I usually buy regular width) but it was perfect. Love the color and style. So happy I finally decided to try if it would fit (given the price$$$ i was nervous). Birk fans will love it.

Got these for my granddaughter for her birthday and she is going off to college...they were perfect for her and she loves them. Thank you Zappos for always being prompt with delivery and such a good return policy. We don’t need it very often, but thankful for your help when it is needed.

I hesitate to describe a Birkenstock as dressy, but these oxblood beauties look really polished with their big metal buckles and beautiful patina. They are as comfortable as other Birks, but prettier. They fit true to size. I wore them to an all-day antiques market then out to dinner and they stayed really comfortable. I really like the wine-colored leather and footbed! I'm in sunny California, so an autumnal sandal is a great idea. Somebody said they squeak when you walk in the comments. Mine don't.

They are not as comfortable as my previous Arizona Birkenstock’s. I was going to return them but I loved the style so well that I kept them. They are now breaking in and the leather is more flexible so they are comfortable.

These were perfect!! Let me start by saying my feet are like rectangles lol I have free flintstone toes! I usually wear the Gizeh, and I ordered the Metallic Arizona in a reg width in my normal 36- they were HUUUUGE!! I always wanted these big buckles but they only came in narrow, I’m so glad I took a chance bc these are beyond beautiful I want to sleep in them! I know they are pricey but omg they’re so amazing and fit perfectly. I always wear black or armygreen so I got the burgundy. The footbed is also a leather much different than the normal Birk footbed. Gorgeous. If you’re on the fence, get them!! I might become one of those socks and birks people bc I dont just wanna wear these when it’s warm

Purchased this latest Big Buckle style in the Blue oiled color and love them! I am already a huge fan of the Arizona style in both the classic and soft footbeds, but find this Big Buckle style just a bit more appealing. And, this blue color is a deep rich cobalt blue color, which is enhanced with the brushed gold big buckles.

I had a smaller size that was sold to me at a department store and it never felt comfortable. Wore them for 1 1/2 years and decided to order another pair in 1 size up which is the correct size. Such a difference when you get the correct size! I just think the high end department store sold me those because they did not have my correct size in stock.

love love love these!!!! I was just expecting black and they are more a dark grey...... but just I love them anyway!!!

Really happy with these! Waiting for the Cognac to come back in my size. Initially I was concerned about the narrow width as I have a wider foot but these are totally fine. They don't have a 'soft footbed' like a lot of the Birks so they take a little breaking in. I wore them around the house for a few days and that did the trick. I am really loving the Big Buckle, makes them look just a bit nicer than the regular Arizonas.

True to size. I wear a 7.5 in most brands and the 38 fit great. I don’t have an especially narrow foot, but the fit is perfect.

I wear an 8, 8.5 and ordered the 39. These run true to size, definitely order your regular size. Great looking shoe, I especially like the larger buckles.

I typically get a new pair of Birkenstock sandals every couple of years so I'm very familiar with the brand. These are the cutest I've worn to date but have to admit the rubber/plastic foot bed doesn't feel as accommodating as the cork I'm used to. I can see the wisdom of the change in regards to not showing a footprint from when your feet sweat, which mine do, but doesn't feel as anatomically supportive as the cork..mind you they don't hurt my feet at all, just not as friendly as cork. Willing to sacrifice for the abundant cute factor. I was reluctant to get black but in real life it's more of a charcoal gray. Love! No problem with width, I take a size 7 no matter what and these fit fine.

Great fit, very comfortable and stylish

Have been wearing Birks for 40 years and these are perfect.

The color of the brown embossed is beautiful! I love the big gold buckles. I took my normal 37 narrow. I do still have to tighten the strap quite a bit. These will look great for Spring, Summer, and Fall!

LOOOOVE my Birkenstock sandals... they are super comfy and stylish. At first they are a little stiff, but it took me y Just one day to break them in... I love them ??

I have many many pairs of Birks and tried to not add more to my collection, but really wanted to try the big buckle style. They were perfect right out of the box as they always are. The leather is sturdy and will hold up. I bought the cognac to wear through the fall. They are very cute and I received a lot of compliments when I wore them today. Very comfortable if you are used to this shoe. It’s all I have been wearing spring summer and fall for many years. Definitely worth the investment as these are a bit more pricy than some.

Very beautiful sandals, well-made, and should last a long time. Same great fit that I have come to depend on since first wearing Birkenstocks when I lived in Germany. Stiffer than suede, so they make take some time to break in...hard to tell yet.

I wanted sooo badly to like these. I have 10 year old suede soft footbed narrow 39 I was looking to upgrade. The color is so cute, and I looove the big buckles. I wish they made a soft footbed because it was just so hard on my feet. The footbed has a lip that kind of comes up and should go all around your foot, but it felt like it was digging into my foot bones on the sides of my feet. I know there’s a break in period, but this was just too uncomfortable. The other weird issue is that the first strap across the toes seems to be just a tiny bit lower than my OG birks. They cut right below where my toes are attached to my feet. So you can basically see the full length of almost all my toes, plus a little of the top of my foot where it meets my toes, my OG birks, the strap comes right above that. It somehow just isn’t as flattering when you can see the full length of the toes with the top of the foot too. Maybe because my toes look longer or something? It was unflattering enough that with the break in being so rough I had to send them back. I kept them for a week or two though because I so want to love these!

Love theses Birkenstock. However not very comfortable for doing a lot of walking. They give me blisters.
