Arizona Soft Footbed Sandal

Story

The OG sandals that put Birkenstock on the map

Before the release of the Arizona, Birkenstock was a little-known German shoemaker with roots going all the way back to the 18th century. But when guys in the ’70s started giving Birks a shot, their comfortable-as-hell footwear became hard to keep in stock worldwide. The Arizona Soft Footbed Sandal takes Birkenstock’s legendary two-strap design and ups the comfort even more. The contoured footbed comes with an extra layer of plush foam—you’ll appreciate the cushioning during long days on your feet—and the oiled leather upper will develop a unique patina the more you wear it.

About Birkenstock

Some things have their moment and pass away into the cultural ether never to be seen again, but not Birkenstock. It’s safe to say the German brand’s laid-back sandals have been having their moment for over 50 years since they first dropped in the US. They were the flagship sandal of the new casual cool style that overtook menswear back then, and have remained a mainstay in both the mainstream and the counterculture ever since. But it didn’t start there—Birkenstock’s shoemaking heritage stretches all the way back to 1774, and once you slip into a pair, you’ll immediately recognize they’ve learned a thing or two about comfortable, high-quality footwear along the way. Still innovating after nearly 250 years, Birkenstock persistently strives toward responsible manufacturing, like upcycling leftover cork from the wine industry for their insoles and introducing a newly designed, even more comfortable and anatomically correct footbed in 2009. All of which is to say, when you slip into these world-renowned sandals, you’re not only putting on a style icon, you’re putting on the best of the best.
