Zurich. This is my third pair of these shoes in 20 years. I usually have them resoled, but I wore them out to the point of no return this time. I love them. Wouldn't wear anything else.
Brands I'd also recommend: Haflingers for winter.

Zurich's are Great I've owned several pairs of Birkenstocks over the past twenty years. I thought I'd try a different style and chose Zurich. I love the feel and secure fit of the extra leather over the top of my feet; yet still a sandal.

Zurich - The raised areas of the shoe did not fit correctly on my foot. The shoe was also very wide, but I have narrow feet.

This is the best, and lasts forever! I bought a pair of these when I was in high school and that was 18 years ago this year. One of the best things about Birkenstocks is that they can be resoled. Unfortunately my ex husband thought it was funny that he recently threw them away on me and now I am just heartbroken. Being a single mom of 3, I cannot afford another pair. I think everyone should own a pair of these though, it would be the investment of a lifetime for your feet!

Comfort and style - This is my 4th pair of Birks since I began wearing them in college 25 years ago. These shoes are comfortable, durable, and look great even in winter with wool socks. Great with pants, skirts, shorts, you name it. Miserably uncomfortable for the first 3 days, then heavenly ever after, like most other Birkies. Be patient-you won't be sorry!

About Birkenstock
Birkenstock is based on the simple principles of health and wellness, quality workmanship and materials, and a respect for the environment. Did you know that Birkenstock created the original contoured footbed that supports and shapes to your foot when walking? And it's made of 100% natural and renewable cork. You can feel good that you are supporting your feet and the environment at the same time. You could call it sustainable comfort.
Birkenstock footwear is designed and sized to provide a roomy fit allowing your toes and feet to wiggle and be free. This sometimes takes a bit of getting used to. Also, most Birkenstock styles come in two widths: narrow and regular, so you can really find the best possible fit for your feet. For the most natural fit, your feet should rest comfortably inside the footbed and there should be about ¼” between your toes and the end of the footbed.
No other part of your body is subject to as much stress and strain as your feet and that is why it is so important to take care of them. With features like a contoured cork footbed, a deep heel cup, and a roomy toe box, Birkenstock clogs and sandals provide more than simply cushioning. Birkenstock footwear provides the perfect balance of firm support and shock resistance allowing your feet and body to be naturally supported.

Birks are the best! I love the Zurich style, and wore mine OUT! Birkenstock has so many cute styles out now, it's hard to choose, but I would choose this style again. It's the perfect summer/winter shoe!

I've quite a few pairs of Birkenstocks and these are no exception. I like the Zurich because it has more coverage of the foot. Most of the others I have are two or three straps. These are very comfortable just like all my Birkies.
Brands I'd also recommend: I buy all my shoes from Zappos. Their return policy exceptional.

Comfort and security - So I wanted a new look for the Birkenstocks I was about to buy, I had simply grown tired of the simple clog or sandal, I needed more. I then saw th Zurich a sort of flip flop incarnation that only a German could think of and only a genius could perfect. I now have the comfort of the birkenstock clog with the security of the sandal. I feel liberated from the typical sandal-human relationship, and subsequently have found a new reason to live- to buy more zurichs throughout my years on Earth.
Brands I'd also recommend: rainbow flip flops

The best birkis! These were my second pair of birks, bought in the 80's and the most comfortable! I wore them until they fell apart. After awhile they begin to fit like a glove, but then, don't all Birks?

Wonderful! These Birkies are made with thick yet soft and supple suede. They adjust to fit my feet perfectly. Feel like heaven on. Look great! I'm crazy about them; I couldn't be more pleased.

My new Zurichs - Although I just received this pair of Birks. I would like to say they are comfortable. However I would like to recommend that 2 extra holes be made in the shoe strap. This will allow the customer to tighten or loosen the strap when necessary. Birkenstocks seem to stretch more when they are new. Your next day shipping was greatly appreciated.

Happy customer - This is my second pair of these shoes. My first pair lasted a long time. I had been looking for this style for some time and was very pleased to find them through Zappos. Since each store carries only the style of shoe they want to I found it difficult to go from store to store, so looking on your web page made life easy for me. Thank you, Mrs. M.

Cool Shoe - My son wanted this sandal for going back to school. His Father has been wearing Birkenstock Arizona sandals for 20 years, so I knew it was a quality product. He said the first few days of wearing the sandal,(the break-in period) was rough for him, but now these Zurich sandals are all that he wears. He loves them, but they will need to be retired for the winter in a few months. WISCONSIN!!! A tip, my son tried on other Birkenstocks at a local store to help with the sizing.

It takes time... It's been hard to feel comfortable in my Zurichs; the place where the 2 upper parts overlaps hurts a lot when I walk, no matter how I change the straps.Also, they rub against my toe. I am a Birk "collector", but these have been a challenge.
