I am so glad to have a revived Sydney in real leather. First time it has been available in many years. I hope it will be available in soft sole and other colors.

I normally wear a pair of Birkenstock Florida sandals, but thought I'd try something a little different this time. I was thrilled to see the Birkenstock Sydney offered in a bright pink shade, so I recently ordered a pair from Zappos. They fit perfectly, and I love them!

Love these shoes! Comfortable from the very first slip onto the foot. I have them in white so they will be nice for summer. I LOVE Zappos service. I received my shoes the very next day! When I get a new outfit, I love ordering shoes from Zappos to match it, as I know I will get them right away! Zappos is the BEST!!!

Beautiful Blue Color - Love the narrow width, although I seem to be able to wear the medium width okay too, but the narrow width is definitely more comfortable on my foot. Some reviewers have said that they ended up ordering this specific Birkenstock in a smaller size than they usually wear [in Birkenstocks], but for my 8 to 8 1/2 size foot, I found my usual Birkenstock size 39 to be good. I was looking specifically for a bright-blue to turquoise-blue shoe for the summer so was pleased to find it in a good old Birkenstock. God, how many years have I been wearing Birkenstocks, I don't even want to remember. Always comfortable, always cute. Always seem to get compliments on every B. that I own, even though people know they've been around forever. I was so pleased with the beautiful blue that I went back for the vivid pink in this style, but all sold out in my size.

I bought these Sydney Silky Suedes in narrow and beige. They are comfy and stay on my foot well. I wear them around the house as summer "slippers". I also have gone for walks with them on and worn them to work. I'm so glad Birkenstocks come in narrow!

This shoe prevented surgery. When I started working out, I had no idea about shoes, so I got the wrong ones. A year later, I had a painful neuroma between my 2nd and 3rd metatarsals and a bunion. A podiatrist wanted to cut on the bunion, but he seemed uncertain about why the inside of my foot hurt so badly. An orthopedic surgeon explained I had been "power walking" in a walking shoe instead of a running shoe or cross trainer. The overly flexible sole allowed too much bending in the foot. He recommended Saucony or New Balance. Since only New Balance came in my tugboat width, I bought a pair of these. Now, I can walk for miles without pain. I'm stuck with the bunion, however.

587's are the best! I have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and must wear a UCBL (a very large orthodic) in my shoes due to severe deformity and supination. I searched for any shoe to accommodate this UCBL, to no avail, including SAS and PW Minor. No luck! They weren't wide enough (a "D" is NOT wide) or deep enough. But then I found the New Balance 587's! The UCBL fits in them perfectly, they are stable, and they come in E widths! Hurrah! Wonderful shoe for any of you suffering from Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease or wear a UCBL!!! Hint: Buy a size larger if you're wearing a UCBL.

Tug-boat shoe - I was very excited when I ordered this shoe, but was heart-broken by its 'dollar store' look. I could not believe they cost so much and looked like I was wearing a rubber mallet on my foot. It was comfortable to wear at first, then slowly became unbearable. But I'm optomistic about them, I am going to try a different style.

A Great shoe for foot pain! This shoe was recommended to me for heel pain. It is a very comfortable shoe and the pain in my foot subsided some as soon as I put them on. After a few hours it was almost completely gone. They look just fine and low-key, which I like. Also, the sole feels different than a thinner soled shoe, but isn't that what we're paying extra for, a decent sole? Anyhow, I am very happy with this shoe and feel that the price is right for the quality.

This is the only shoe I can wear - I have crippled feet from two botched operations. My arch has fallen and these are the only shoes I have found that I can walk in all day without pain. They keep my feet in a more normal position and the broader toe area is especially appreciated.
