Birkenstock

ICU RN here. Got these for work and was super excited because I absolutely love my other pairs of Birks. MAJOR disappointment. These were stiff and uncomfortable despite wearing them for about 2 months to break them in. Using them as (really expensive) gardening shoes now.

Zappos sent me the wrong width. I ordered Narrow, but they sent me Regular/Wide. They also sent the shoes with NO BOX. They were just in a clear, plastic bag. I like to have the box to keep the shoes organized and dust-free when I'm not wearing them. I've never received a pair of shoes without the box before. Zappos' quality has really gone way, way downhill.

Look amazing! Feel amazing!

Ankle straps did not adjust to the fit I needed. Very narrow ankles as well as foot. Uncomfortable footbed

The regular width was too lose on my foot, so I returned them and got a narrow width. I love these shoes, they are so comfortable.

I’m a medium width size 9. I purchased this in a size 9 narrow and they fit fine. The problem is they don’t stay on my feet, especially going up and down stairs. I’m returning them.

Unfortunately, these did not work for me. I have a high arch and the straps caused blisters on the top of my feet.

Extremely Comfortable & great cushioning under my arches!! Love the white leather!!

I love everything about these shoes. They are comfortable, stylish and the color is gorgeous. They aren't clunky like some platform shoes and the platform isn't very high, which is just fine. The extra added inch is quite nice. I have extremely narrow feet so I use the very last holes in both straps. I think the strap holes and placement of straps would work for not only very narrow feet (like mine), but for other widths as well. To mold them to my feet, I wore them around the house until my feet got tired. The moment I notice my feet were tired, I'd take them off. Each day I could wear them longer. Eventually I forgot about my feet and wore them all day. It's like having a pair of custom-made shoes!

I usually wear size 39 8-8 1/2. They are too big all around.

I’m not sure what happened, but we ordered blue suede Birkenstock sandals with a soft footbed & instead got black synthetic leather in a regular footbed.

broken buckle

I loved almost everything about this sandal…the fit, the feel; the beautiful pink color…but I had to return them because there was a spot—different on each side—where it rubbed my foot…it seemed to be the place where some excess glue came out and tried into this irritating ridge. I saw one other person talk about this in their review. Weird because I have several other pairs of Birkenstock sandals where this is not an issue.

So after reading many reviews , I decided to just order them ! You can always return them if needed , right ? I have always worn a 39 in Birks , for 25 + years ! However the last pair of Arizona’s I got last year seemed short . So I ordered a 40. They are perfect . I feel no difference in the width (I got the narrow) . I don’t feel that this shoe is stiff compared to my others . Actually feels a little less than the others when new. I did have a spot on top of my foot where the straps over lap that immediately hurt . I read others had that too . I put a band aid on the strap that was causing that and it’s gone . It was only on one foot . I absolutely love these , the large buckle and shine make them more feminine and a tad dressier ! I will order another color soon!

Never thought I would be wearing these type of shoes. Love them so much.

These shoes get better with age. They offer great support and I love the aesthetic.

I went a size larger and helped w/ the super narrow fit w/ the smaller size BUT now the buckle rubs on my toes, both feet. Feels harsh and not soft at all. I’m super bummed, they could and should be so comfortable. : (

I’ve had two pairs of these shoes and the same thing happened to both of them. The rubber coating on the sole gets holes in it well before the shoe should wear out. Water gets in through the holes and the cork Birkenstock insert soaks it up like a sponge. Terrible design. It’s a shame as I love the style and find these very comfortable. But they don’t hold up as well as they should for a sneaker that costs this much.

I’m a 7.5 and sized up to 39. Per usual, Zappos’ excellent customer service team sent me the correct size right away. The sandals are cute, stylish, and I love the color. They will take a bit to break in, and that’s ok. All leather does. Happy overall.

I ordered a size up than my regular Birkenstocks, just in case it would be too tight with socks. glad that I did! these are super cute and very comfortable with or without socks.

usually Birkenstock narrows are fine but I do have wide feet so I was taking a chance by ordering these. super cute and comfortable initially, but after walking around, the top part digs into the tow.

very comfortable was worried that forefoot would carry to much weight and ankle straps would dig in, but it is not to high and cuter than chunky platforms

Perfect

I have AA or AAA feet, so I was delighted to see that these come in Narrow. When I cranked the strap to the most narrow setting, I was thrilled that these now fit perfectly. Way to go, Birkenstock!

True to size, these Birkenstocks are comfortable and stylish. Great addition to summer wardrobe.
