These shoes have a big toe box and fit like Birks always fit under the foot. I laughed at one of the reviews where the reviewer said he/she didn't like them - felt like walking on rolled coins. Well, they do take some getting used to but they are great if you have a high arch and wide feet like I do. I wear a 7.5 M in normal shoes and a 38 in the Birks. Also, if you ever have foot surgery, these shoes will be your best friend after the "boot".

I usually wear an 8-8.5 but they were way to big. I ordered the next size down and they fit great. I did try to wear them to long at first and my right foot hurt. But, once I broke them in the way they recommended too, they are very comfy.

These are the great Birkenstock shoes that I've have always loved. I really took a liking to the color online, and ordered a pair. But when they came and I opened the box- I did a double take. They looked black. Only when you take them out in the light can you actually see the green color come through. I'm sure with some wear the color would have worn through even more. But I returned them and reverted back to my favorite saddle brown.

I wear it all the time, I do not want to take them off. I work a lot standing and I enjoy every minute of it. I am grateful that they exist and I love this style.

Best shoe I ever wore and I'm hard to please. Your legs will be sore for 3-5 days but after that, they're unbeatable.

Love these shoes; they make my plantar fascia go away. Zappos told me my last pair was purchased a year ago and I realized they were still in great shape so I decided to get a pair in black, too!

Very stiff and wooden cloggy to start, but that's how Birks roll! I'm certain they'll soften with age, and the footbed can't be beat. I wear a 8.5M, and had to buy the 7-7.5M here.

When shopping for birks, I have had trouble finding the size/style/color I want. No problem at all at zappos- and I got them delivered to my door the day after I ordered them. I loved the entire process and tell everyone I know about it! Thank you so much!

I stand all day at work and my feet were in agony wearing my flats, and even running shoes. So, I bought these on the advice of my dad who swears by Birks for support and comfort. They take a bit of getting used to because of the hard, thick soles, and they're a bit heavy, but they really make a difference. My feet no longer hurt even after 7 hours of standing. The only downside is that it took about three weeks before they stopped staining my feet and socks black. Even though they're not the most stylish shoes in the world, they are very supportive and comfortable even if you have wide feet (I got the wide width style). Just wear black socks for the first month and you'll be good to go!

Really great boots. As with all my Sofft footwear, stylish and comfortable. The color is versatile, and I love the overall look of the boot.
