In 2021 the German company Birkenstock was bought by French LVMH which is a large fashion enterprise. Hence the renewed focus on the fashion aspect of it for achieving more sales is causing the compromise of the old German heritage.

I have just purchased an Arizona soft footbed, It's great to know the difference, it will be my first birkenstock, so I will buy the original afterwards 😊

Thank you. I've been told to get a pair with a backstrap due to a broken toe. And I've been debating about the footbed style. Long-term really is what matters.

I know it’s been 2 yrs since this video but I have to say this was THE best review I have ever seen regarding these sandals. I’ve had to return a few because the sizes (for me) are different in every pair I bought. Weird. You’re hilarious and I subscribed

Yes! I have a soft bed, and I have noticed that it is smoothing out and becoming less supportive of my feet. I have flat feet, so it makes a difference to me. I didn't think the original bed would help much, but I'll try it!

I have FLAT feet & bad knees bc of eons of dancing, and I LOVE LOVE the support provided by my old Boston clogs. Haven't bought new Birks in a long time & I wanted a pair that wouldn't look fugly w/sun dresses... So, with a little trepidation, I JUST ordered a pair of Gizeh platforms, & I'm already experiencing buyers remorse.
I've read reviews for the Gizeh, but none mention whether there's a marked difference between the original & new footbeds. Do any of you gals (gals who LIKE the original Birk beds) own Gizehs? What's your take on 'em?
Mine are supposed to arrive in a few days.🤞🏼

Great job. First actual in depth comparison I've been able to find of the different footbeds. Thanks!

Thank you for such an informative video! This is really helpful. I would love to hear your thoughts and experience with the different types of leather (nubuck, oiled, suede, birko flor, etc.).

Really worth seeing video from a real Birkenstock connoisseur! I have never seen such a well-founded video here! I see it very much like you do: Birkenstock soft footbed is for beginners or as a transition. When you have survived the break in phase, the Birkenstock shoes with the original footbed are the most comfortable shoes in the world because they are individually adapted to your foot. And the process almost never ends, it becomes even more comfortable every time you wear it. The only thing I was missing in your great video: I have the feeling that the additional layer of soft bedding made of non-natural material makes you sweat more, is that the same for you? I would be happy to see more Birkenstock videos from you! Best regards to your feet 👣😉🤗

Ditto for me about the softbed. You hit it exactly. Love the original and will never go back to softbed.

You brought up some points others did not. Thanks. I appreciate your astute observations.

[ryanpettaway]

Thanks! Well done and answered all my questions, and those I didnt know I had. Ordering bottles of wine now for my break in period.

Best review I've seen so far! This was so helpful. Thank you so much. I almost got the softbed ones. I so appreciate the observation about the wrinkle staying in the synthetic material. A hug from Madrid 😘

Great review. I just bought my first pair of hard bed and was shocked at how bruised my feet felt after wearing them for as little as an hour. I have narrow and probably bonier feet and need a lot of cushion. I just can’t imagine the hard bed getting more comfortable, they’re hard as a rock. Do they really get that much better once worn in?

[joellechiara]

Oh! I've only gone with soft Arizonas - and I've ended up having to give them away. I didn't end up liking them at all years later. I ended up really getting some major foot pain. . I'm wondering if the Original would be better for me. Like they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[markracer]

A girl who loves her Birkis and a good glass of Chardonnay!!! Sounds like a match made in heaven!!! YOU ROCK!!!

[shatham]

Sorry for that but I’m working in birkenstock and I have to tell you that you wearing the wrong size 😅 the Birken have to be bigger try 37 in next time it will be so comfortable thanks ❤❤

[stefanorossi]

Ottima recensione! Avevo un dubbio e me lo sono tolto. Acquisterò il modello originale. Grazie!

[miketorre]

Thanks for clearing up the original sole vs padded. Ill keep my original even though its my 1 pair. Long term, i want a nice footbed and good patina. I have the Arizona Birkibuc... should last 10 year's i hope. Im 41 yrs old, time to update from crocs, right?

I was a bit confused when you said soft sole as compared to using the term footbed. Sole to me refers to the bottom of a shoe. Footbed I refer to as the inner part of the shoe. All in all I got past that 🥰and was enlightened by what info you gave regarding the sandal. This will be my 2nd pair of Birkenstocks and have purchased soft footbeds each time. Now I know the difference. Good job 🥰.
