I just got these Arizona’s size 38 and I’m hoping to get your opinion on the sizing. I tried these in 37s and while they were comfortable on, I felt my toes touching the front rim when I was walking. Do these size 38s look like a good fit?

I adjusted the straps following the fit check guide on the Birkenstock website. My feet float around so much when I walk. Should I tie it one notch tighter or is this a part of the break in period?

Also, I posted in here asking for an authenticity check yesterday and a few people said these check out to be authentic! I’ve added photos of them here as well if anyone else wants to take a look. Thank you!

I bought two pairs of Arizonas to try to size. Got them before I stumbled upon the thread here that price may have been too good to be true. Bought for $80 a pair.

I bought size 37 and 38, and I’m questioning if there are real or fake.

Pictures 1-5 are of the 37s:
- Picture 3 - one of the the Birkenstock stamps is higher than the other
- Picture 5 - the top edge of the right sandal has a frayed edge. Feels like glue. Is this normal?

Pictures 6-9 are of the 38s

Picture 10 is the two of them side by side. The oiled leather straps looks different in color. I understand it’s leather and no two pair may look the same. Or am I mistaken?!

TIA for everyone’s insight and knowledge!
