Love this sandal! Perfect for when you have to walking and standing for hours. i like the fun design, and that it comes in both patent and non-patent leather. very casual, yet cute at the same time. I have a wide foot, and the regular is just wide enough for me. if you're on the narrow side you'd need to order the narrow width elsewhere.

Best pair of shoes I've ever had. I love Birkenstock shoes. The Spartas are my second pair and I love them!

These shoes are great! Very comfortable and somewhat stylish (as far as Birkenstock shoes can be stylish of course) and super comfortable. Highly recommend!

I went with Birkenstock because of their reputation for natural repairable/recyclable materials. So I was surprised to find the toe post of this sandal is made of hard plastic. Unfortunately, it kind of hurt to wear them because the plastic is unyielding. Too bad Birkenstock doesn't use leather for the toe post instead. Had to exchange for another Birkenstock style.

I know the photo makes these look kind of purple, but they're actually a really nice "goes-with-everything" dark silver color. I've worn Birks for years and they're just a comfortable as they've always been. This is one of my go-to sandals for summer!

I usually wear a size 6 US, so size 36 narrow fit me perfectly! Comfortable, cute, and you can wear them for hours. I wore them when I walked around Greece, and at school everyday. Very comfortable. Also, I usually don\'t wear narrow, but bought narrow so they weren\'t too chunky looking.

Summer is blister season for me if I don't wear the right shoes. I have a narrow foot with a broad forefoot and a high instep, which means that most sandals straps just chew my feet to bits. Not so with the Birkenstock Sparta. The adjustable instep straps give me a custom fit so that the sandal stays on my foot, but does not cause any friction even in the most humid weather. Comfort and support right out of the box, with great style.

I love these shoes and have been waiting for them to show up on Zappos again. This is my second pair - love this style! Extremely comfortable even after wearing them all day! I love Zappos' service!

Cute and comfortable, these are a great pair of shoes. I bought them because I had a silver pair that were a different style, but wore them out. These are nice because they are kind of a "gladiator" style, but your feet aren't killing you at the end of the day. They look nice with capris, and the silver matches with pretty much everything. I am wearing them as I write this review!
