I loved the shoe but had to return it because the regular was too wide for my normally regular width foot. Unfortunately there are none in narrow.

After a long search, I found these sandals on Zappos in my size! I love these sandals. The only thing I would say is that there is some stitching on the inside that rubbed a blister on my left foot, but that is par for the course for me and sandals.

I absolutely love these shoes! I have always been a Birkenstocks lover but was bummed to be limited to sandals or clogs. These have the classic Birkenstocks comfort and are stylish. I plan to wear them even in the winter with socks. I get lots of compliments on them and people cannot believe they are Birkenstocks. One thing I will add is that they are loose fitting shoes that do not hug your feet. However, I do not have any trouble keeping them on and I think the roominess adds to their comfort.

These took the place of my tennis shoes for my exercise walks. They made my feet feel secure and comfortable from the moment I put then. The canvas were more comfortable then the suede or model with the tie.

Well, great, and not so great. Too big, all around, but now, after adding inserts, I've worn them too long to send them back. I wear an 8, and ordered a 38 which are still too big. But...really comfortable, great support for a whole day of walking/standing/working. And, so nice and light. The best non-leather, cute, slip-on with support I think there is.

About Birki's
The days when we are truly free of everything that occupies us in our daily lives are surely the most enjoyable times of year: vacations, long weekends and holidays. We can sit back and relax, refuel, and do what we really like to do, whether we're at home or at a holiday destination. Even better if we can do this at a location that's sunny and warm, where we can hear the ocean surf while waves are lapping onto the beach, where we can feel good. Everything is just the way we've always wanted it. Sharing all of the above with our children or good friends who share our wavelength has got to be the ultimate in having a truly good time!
And what is more obvious than choosing the right shoes for these special moments? Maybe you don't generally spend a lot of thought on the matter of footwear. This really should be considered not only because we are constantly accompanied by our shoes, but also because healthy feet demand agreeable comfort - enough space for free movement. This way your vacation can start the moment you buy your shoes, because Birki's sandals and clogs are the perfect companions for spending your relaxing spare time, no matter where and how one wants to spend this time.
Birki's collection is best characterized by these keywords: Wellness - Comfort - Kids. All models come with anatomically-molded footbeds, some styles made of Alpro®-Foam or Alpro®-Cell, some made of cork-latex. They are always in the trendy colors of the current season and always in line with the sophisticated wishes of Birki's big and small customers.
The areas of application of Birki's clogs and sandals are endless. Decide for yourself when, where, and how to wear your Birki's - the sky's the limit for your imagination!

My first experience was not as positive as it should have been. I ordered a regular width shoe, but received a narrow width. I am not able to use and because I live in Canada, it is more of an inconvenience to ship it back. I would like a refund please.

I go for comfort shoes. I read the reviews on this one and tried it. These are my first shoes for this brand. I still have to break them in. I wore them twice and the fabric is still tough so it still bothers my feet. I tried wearing them with socks but they felt better without socks. It is not as bendable. I will break it in some more and see the comfort level.

So uncomfortable! And I love my Birkenstock Arizonas and closed toe Bostons. But these just drive my feet nuts! Maybe it's the harder canvas fabric rubbing me, but they don't feel like classic Birks. They do look fantastic on, really hype and stylish, but most days they start to annoy my feet after less than an hour. I commend Birkenstock for trying newer and younger styling, but this was a big waste of money for me!

So uncomfortable! And I love my Birkenstock Arizonas and closed toe Bostons. But these just drive my feet nuts! Maybe it's the harder canvas fabric rubbing me, but they don't feel like classic Birks. Plus the canvas unravels a lot - makes them look look worn and beachy, but might annoy some. They do look fantastic on, really hype and stylish, but most days they start to annoy my feet after less than an hour. I commend Birkenstock for trying newer and younger styling, but this was a big waste of money for me!

The bomb! Wore them for an all day shopping trip right out of the box and didn't have any problems. They also are cuter than they appear on the screen and go with anything. Highly recommend!

I love these shoes. I did have to doctor them up on the inside with moleskin, but I have sensitive skin. I wore them several days at a convention and they were great. Goes with jeans or shorts.
