Birkenstock Comfort - These shoes are amazingly comfortable all day long. I am on my feet most of the day, and when I come home, I still continue to wear my Birkenstocks. Also, the customer service at Zappos is amazing! My husband ordered Merrill sandals a few days after I ordered the Birkenstocks, and his order came the next day! Thank you Zappos!

My paws -
Birkenstocks are not beautiful. That said, these soft taupe-gray sandals are a pleasure to come home to, to slip into in the morning, to pad about in. I wear them barefoot or in chillier weather with wooly sox. I wear them more than any other shoe I own.

I have a small foot, size 4.5 and these still are a little big on me. But this is not the fault of the shoe. Birkenstock shoes also run a little big.

Great Birks -
Bought these for my husband who has very large feet, and he loves them. He his a manager at a country club, so he is on his feet all day in dress shoes, and these are the first shoes he wants to put on when he gets off work. Of course they took some time to break in, and were uncomfortable at first, but now they fit him perfect.

Liking these more and more -
This is my third pair of Birkenstocks and not the last. The Zurich is one of the original Birks but less clunky somehow than the 2-strap styles and looks good with capris. Years ago I admired these on an acquaintance and finally got a pair. Worth it! This is a nice classic replacement for an old pair of Florida’s worn to death and then lost. I usually wear a 6-1/2 WW and the 36 regular fits about right.

Zurich is a great shoe.
I love my new Zurichs. They look great with or without socks and give a little more protection from the weather than other Birks. I usually wear a size 7 in a regular woman's shoe, but always take 36s ("size 5") in Birks.

New style for me but I like it!
I'm trying the Zurich for the first time and I really like it! It may become my standard Birkenstock, with or without socks. I only wish there were more colors as I expect this light color to get dirty fairly soon. I highly recommend this one!

New Zurich’s after 18 years with my old ones -
Had my old egg-plant purple Zurich’s for over 18 years and wore them rain, snow or shine. Absolutely loved them. Had never seen another pair like them during that time. My friends made a lot of fun about them, but I know deep down inside they really were envious. My wife and daughter had them rebuild two years ago for father's day and my cat recently used them for a litter box and ruined them. I will bury them in the garden this spring and place a memorial next to the site.
Once again Zappos has proven their excellence by having my size in stock (taupe though) and I ordered them yesterday @ 6:00pm and they were shipped from Kentucky and on my doorstep in Carson City, Nevada today @ 2:30pm amazing!!! And the fit was perfect. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Zappos.

Great alternative to Clogs -
My feet are too narrow for clogs, so I thought I'd try Zurich as my "winter" sandal (OK I do live in northern FL, so it isn't usually too cold) to wear with socks. They are the only Birkies that needed a break in, but in 2 days they were fine, at least with socks, which is how I wear them.

Somehow, they seem different from what I remember.
I bought these shoes in the dark brown leather color because I liked the color and I had never seen them in this color before. So, when I got them (thanks to Zappos for the reliable and rapid service!) I wasn't disappointed with the look at all. The thing though is that Birkenstocks nowadays seem to be cut a little narrower than when I got my first pair back in the early nineties. And that's not really the problem that I'm having. The main problem with me is that the arch support really gets in the way of my non-existent arch. It's like my feet feel like they're going up a hill in these shoes--and that's not how feet (mine or anyone else's) are supposed to feel. All in all, I just wish that Birkenstock made shoes that weren't so hard in the sole. That and they could just leave out the hard footbed thing that doesn't really match up to my feet. I mean, most shoes don't bother with that anyway--I'm thinking about my Crocs about now. The reason I'm not giving this shoe a 'one star' is because I always appreciate the ample toe room in these shoes. That's probably the biggest plus there is. They just...I just don't like a shoe that I have to 'break in'. They should already be comfortable when I put them on.

C From Minnesota -
I am always amazed at the service of Zappos. The Zurich sandals are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I own four different pairs of Birkenstock shoes. I get knee and back pain if I wear shoes that do not have a good arch support. Thanks again Zappos for your great products and great service people.

THE USUAL GOOD FIT -
I haven't had any Birkenstocks that were cut as high, and I had to get used to them. But they are the usual great fit I've always had in Birkenstocks.

Such comfortable shoes. Just received these shoes from Zappos way faster than expected, and love them already. I have several other pairs of Birkenstocks and like them all for different reasons - these just seem to hug the top of my foot better than the others though. Would definitely recommend these shoes, and Zappos too.

Christmas presents!
I purchased the Zurich for my daughter for Christmas. She has been wearing this shoe for sometime now. You are only one of a few companies that carries the Zurich. With your free shipping both ways and competive pricing why would I buy anywhere else? Plus your customer service people were wonderful on the phone. Thanks so much more making our Christmas merry!

I've worn this style for many years; they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever found. The fit never changes; I just keep ordering the same size over and over as they wear out.

Birkenstock Zurich Sandals -
I ordered this sandal in a Narrow instead of the usual wide. It was fine after I moved the straps to where I wanted them. The sandal is comfortable, and I plan to get more use in the winter, perhaps with socks.

Wait a week then...wow -
I hadn't worn a Birk in a while and forgot that they do really need a "break in" week. Once the leather had settled and my foot found its home, they were golden. I'm wearing them around the punishing streets of New York and they feel great. A perfect antidote to the summer heat. My last pair lasted 14 years. I hope these last as long!

I love these shoes. I also have them in brown leather and would/will buy more of this style.
Birkenstock shoes are the only ones I have found that fit a wide/high foot.

Nice sandals -
These are very nice sandals and have been pretty easy breaking in. I would recommend wearing them around the house for a while before out and about. Break them in casually and they will fit real nice and comfy.

Tiny Feet Meet Zappos -
I have tiny feet and have worn the wrong size in Birks for awhile because I could never find them in the right size. Enter Zappos. I love my new petite Zurich’s. They are the summer equivalent of my Boston Clogs.

Missing in Action -
Love this shoe -- wore it for twenty years. When my feet grew with age and the Zurich wasn't built in size 14EE (USA), it was a cruel freeze-out for me. Lord knows I'd love to be able to buy a pair that fit me, even if it cost extra ...

My favorite shoe -
I have worn the Zurich for probably 15 years and it is my favorite shoe. It isn't what I would call dressy but comfort is more important to me--and this shoe is wonderful for me.

 |  | Terrific!!!! Sandals are awesome, and our order arrived within 48hrs from the time of our initial online purchase. What a deal...We love Zappos and we love our Keens. Sizing was good even with my weird feet. My husband ordered his "usual" size and I went up a half size from my tennies. Perfect fit for both pair. Thanks for providing a quality product and outstanding service!! You blow away any competition out there. We will definitely continue shopping at Zappos.
