I tried Birkenstock Grenada first and loved the look of them but had to send them back because the top strap was really uncomfortable on my foot. I bought the Bali since the toe area looks the same but it has an ankle strap and I love them. I really love the more delicate/feminine look (for Birks) along the toe line and the strap along the ankle makes these really comfortable for me. I'm a 7.5 and the 38 fits me perfectly.

These are hugely wide. I bought them for my daughter, who has very slim feet, and she could have fit two of her feet inside. Will try a smaller size, but I think that Birkenstocks are not for people with narrow feet.

Great last the test of time - it was a great fit in the 60's & 70's and these shoes are great now. Immediate comfort, especially with the comfort sole.

Purchased these because I have plantar fasciitis and wanted arch support. Love them. I was worried that they wouldn't be fashionable, but I receive many compliments on them.

I usually wear a 7 1/2 (which coordinated to a European 38) but I ended up needing the 37. This shoe is amazingly comfortable, there is so much support I can walk in these all day. I just ordered a second pair in another color for summer.

I didn't keep these because they felt really big/clunky and the toe divider is hard plastic, very uncomfortable.

A great sandal. I've been wearing Arizona sandals for 25 years. The leather is high quality. The footbed contours to your foot in a short period of time.

Like the sandals, the Londons have the classic footbed and are basically the sandal with a closed toe and back. Birkenstocks are unique in that they are designed to fit the foot completely. So if you're used to that thumbs length at the end of the shoe, the London will not necessarily apply to that. Don't get this shoe based on where your toes are, base it on how it fits your foot. For example, whatever size you wear in a Milano, you'll wear the same in a London. I made the mistake of going too large and couldn't get a proper foot fit until I went down a size (which is what I wear in a Milano). Bottom line, if you get it to fit your foot, you've got the correct shoe. I have a narrow foot, so I got the narrow choice and it's perfect. The shoe is wonderful, but don't go too large. For all my other non Birk shoes, I usually give some extra room in the toe, which doesn't apply to this shoe. With a proper foot fit, you're feet won't hit the edge.

The soft footbed is so easy to just put on and wear unlike the regular Birk's that you have to break in. I have arthritis in my feet and these Birk's are the only thing I can wear to be able to keep walking all day. This is not my first pair!

These are my absolute favorite pair of sandals. I wore them almost every day for two months travelling all over Europe! The sole really conforms to the shape of your foot, and they feel very supportive. I love this style, as it's a more feminine take on the original Arizona style. I chose this style over the Gizeh because I didn't like the idea of having the "thong" part of the sandal be made of plastic, and those seem more like flip-flops. The Golden-Brown Birko-Flor color has a pretty golden sheen to the natural brown, but the metallic glittery is not flashy or anything. I got a size 36 Narrow, which is half a size smaller than my regular shoe size (US Women's 6). I also chose the narrow size because the style of Birks are a bit wider and I do have slim feet, though I don't normally buy other shoes in a narrow width. Overall, I highly recommend this great, comfortable sandal for summer that's perfect for walking and travelling!

I loved them right out of the box! I'm glad I didn't order a size smaller as some folks had suggested. I'm six feet tall with size 11 feet, and the size 42 is perfect. I've been wearing some Earth thongs recently, so the plastic piece between the toes doesn't bother me at all. If you're new to Birkenstocks I strongly suggest wearing them around the house for a while to get used to them. A long walk in brand new Birks probably isn't the best idea. Once they're broken in, though, they're the most comfortable shoes out there. I said to my husband, "Now I remember why I used to love Birkenstocks!" These are especially cute. I'm VERY happy with them!

Very cute in the metallic leather, with lots of nice arch support. But ditto to the reviewers who said the toe thong was placed too far up on the sole -- I could barely reach it! Definitely not wearable for my foot proportions. Sad!

I LOVE these shoes. They are so comfortable! It took me about a week of light wear to break them in. At first, they actually hurt my feet a lot. They rubbed in weird places and my feet felt sore after I wore them. I almost didn't believe in the Birkenstock way, until suddenly they became the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn. It's hard for me to decide to wear other sandals now because they just aren't as comfortable! I got them in titanium and I'm so happy I did. They go with everything and are cute and stylish. I'm 23- Birkenstocks aren't just for older people! The Gizeh style is awesome. Easy to slip on and off but not at all like a regular flip flop. They don't make the flip flop sound and you don't have to hold on with your feet when you walk. The strap over the arch is far back enough that it holds the shoe securely on your foot. I originally ordered the Cairo style, but didn't like the ankle strap, so I exchanged them for the Gizeh, and I'm so happy I did! Seriously considering buying another pair in a different color! Sizing note- I usually wear a 9.5 in woman's shoes, but I have these in a 39, which is smaller on their conversion chart.

First time actually buying Birkenstocks because they are expensive. People always told me I'd love the support. They feel so much better than any sandle I've ever worn. I hope they last as well.

I cannot rave about these sandals enough. They are the most comfortable, versatile, and well built sandals I've ever owned. I want more colors but don't know if I can adequately justify multiple birks in one wardrobe. I will buy a new pair as soon as these expire but I hope that won't be for a long time. My only advice is that they get even more comfortable with wear so make sure you give yourself time to break them in. I ordered up but think I could have easily ordered down in the European sizing.

Great shoes -- comfortable right out of the box! I bought my first pair of these to wear around the house last summer when I had severe plantar fasciitis and could not walk barefoot at all (I wore my gym shoes with my orthotics the rest of the time). My feet healed, but I continued to wear the Floridas as house shoes, run to the store shoes, etc. I recently went to Hawaii for a week and brought my three pairs of (new) Dansko Sophie sandals with me -- Danskos are my usual foot attire as I ten to pronate and need good arch support. Much to my amazement, they promptly ate holes in my toes! I came home, ordered a second pair of Floridas, and found them to be as comfortable as as the first pair. I am about to order my third pair, and will be set for summer from now on. Thank you, Birkenstock, for your shoes and Zappos for your unsurpassed customer service! Given my feet, I order and end up returning a lot of shoes for every pair I keep, and it is absolutely painless with Zappos. I never buy shoes anywhere else!

Love them! This is my first pair of Birkenstocks. Yep I see why they are popular. Very comfortable. The shape allows for a comfortable fit around the curves of my feet, no blisters.

Footbed not as comfortable as my Birkenstock Granada sandals (soft bed) - arch seems a little high - but I haven't fully broken them in yet. My left foot is slightly longer than right; toes touch end even though I bought next larger size. Didn't buy for style so that's OK - am a nurse and must have comfort. Will continue to buy Birks from Zappos, for sure!

I own a few styles of Birkenstocks and I was ready to make the Turin my new favorite. I ordered my usual Birkenstock size (36) and they are way too big! An entire whole size too big. And unfortunately for me, this style is not offered in size 35 (not just by Zappos, but by Birkenstock itself...I checked their site), so going down a size is not even an option. This is a huge bummer for me. I ordered the "oiled iron" color and they were a nice, neutral grey. The leather on this sandal is thick and substantial (not "delicate"), so make sure that's something that you want -- I can imagine they will need time to break in. But otherwise, they have the same great Birkenstock support, which is heaven if you have problem feet.

Love these. I needed something that would fit in my flats for work. They fit well all my flats and provide great support. It's really helped ease foot pain.
