Width and comfort of all Birkenstocks-
Birkenstocks are a different kind of shoe. I have diabetes and my podiatrist told me to by Birkenstocks, he even had samples in his waiting room. 1) If you never wore any Birkies before you start by wearing them 4 hours a day because of the arch. They will hurt your legs and feet for awhile until your body adjusts to them. The same with many athletic shoes. 2) The width will stretch to YOUR foot shape and size as you wear them. Then 3) Eureka, the perfect shoe and sandal. The whole of it is wearing and patience and you will never wear another kind again. You all have a good day and Zappos is the best.

Reply about sizing -
People who wear Birkenstocks know how the sizing runs. Narrow (filled-in footbed) fits Narrow to Medium feet. Medium (outline of a footbed) fits Medium to Wide.
Zappos has no control over a company that has been making shoes for over a century. If you don't know what size you wear, in a particular style... you have a couple of options. You can go to a local retailer, and find your correct size, then order from Zappos. Or you can use Zappos VERY GENEROUS free return postage policy to find your correct size. Because if Zappos started messing around with Birkenstock sizing, they would have THOUSANDS of unhappy customers... starting with me!
I own 3 dozen pairs of Birkenstocks, from sandals to clogs to lace-ups to hiking boots.
(I even had my "rennaisance fair boots" custom made around a Birkenstock footbed.) I think Zappos ROCKS!!! Keep up the great work.

Birkenstock doesn't make Women's narrows.
When Birkenstock sells a show for women and calls it a "narrow," it's really a men's narrow: B width. I wish Zappos wouldn't allow Birkenstock to represent these shoes as women's narrows, but I already wrote to them and they blew me off. Told me to write a review instead, so that's what I'm doing.

 |  | Dear Zappos.com,
I would like to start off by saying: Zappos.com is amazing. My first order with Zappos.com wasn't that long ago. On one of my orders, Zappos was so amazing to give me a special priority in upgrading my shipping date to the next day I placed my order. What other place does that? Not only did they do that, they always email you right away when you place an order. Other websites take so long, you worry if they even got the order. And, in Zappos website, it's so helpful. When looking at an item, it gives all the information you need. Your size, your color, and price range you are willing to spend. AND if the item is sold out, they email you once the item is back in stock. Come on! What other website does all of this! None! When I receive my shipment(s) at home, the packaging is so cute, neat. You guys are awesome. Consider me a customer, forever!!! =) |  | ~ Mary F., October 11 2009
