Comfortable and fashionable! These are great shoes if you’re needing to stand and go to and fro at work.

Because this is an enclosed shoe rather than a sandal, I would recommend ordering a size higher than usual for European sizing, especially since you will be wearing socks with it.

Love, love these booties! I got them to replace an old pair from a different brand, which I loved, but now I love these more! They are the correct length, width and a great style. We’ll worth the $$ in my opinion.

I love these! This is like wearing the Mary by Papillio but it’s winter appropriate. The first 2 days I wore them without socks but the stitching on the top of the left boot cut me. So now I wear them with socks. Not a terrible issue since it IS a boot(ie). These are great with bootcut and narrow leg jeans. Every time I wear them I think I should see if they come in a brown, too.

Love these! Have only worn them for an hour or two so far. Used to wear a 10.5, but the last ten years am more consistently an 11, and the 42 fits me beautifully. I put off buying these for a long time because of the "narrow" designation, since I have small-moderate bunions and I've never thought of my feet as narrow, but the shoes feel dreamy so far. I appreciate that the leather is a bit stiff around the ankle because it feels supportive to me, not to mention that it will last quite a while, but if you have thicker ankles this might be a problem for you, as other reviewers have noted. I don't wear a lot of heeled shoes anymore so will be wearing these for short periods to get used to them and break them in, and then am going to Scotchgard the heck out of them and wear them on a trip to Europe.

On my 2nd pair. Love these - the most comfortable shoes! Wish they were a little les me “orthopedic” looking but overall great boots!

I have so many pairs of Birks and I'm very happy to add the black Ebba's to my collection. They don't look right with my jeans (something seems 'off' with the proportions), but I like them so much that I'm on the hunt for a skirt/dress to pair them with.

Love 'em so much I bought a pair in each color. Classic Birkenstock comfort. Because I want the cork midsole to look nice if they get wet, I have treated them with a spritz of Scotchgard.
As to sizing. I commonly wear a 41 or 42 in shoes. W/med width Birks, I have always had to size down to a 40. These fit perfectly in a narrow width 41.

I have plantar fasciitis and these are truly amazing. I commute by train and subway 4 days a week and these are super comfortable and stylish. I am so happy with them. I wear a 8.5 and the 39 fits perfectly. I think I may purchase them in brown also.

I went up a size. I wear a thin sock inside. After some wear it gets easier to slide on and zip.

New leather was very stiff making them difficult to put on the first time, but it’s gotten easier with every wear. Same with ankle fit, super snug at first, but loosened up quickly with one or two outings. Easily the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn.
I wear Birkenstocks almost exclusively because I have Achilles’ tendon and plantar fasciitis issues that they solve for me and while I don’t find Birkes the most attractive shoe, I’m more worried about foot pain when walking or waking up in the morning. It’s a bummer to have to choose between style and comfort, but I always choose comfort.
When I saw these boots, I was excited to try them. I have been shocked at how incredibly comfortable they are. And they are so attractive! I have received so many compliments about how cute they are. I was at Costco with my husband and he offered to go to the back of the store for an item we’d forgotten while I waited at the front. I said, “I don’t mind going back with you.” I didn’t understand why he would think I wasn’t up for the walk, then I realized I was wearing heels and he always expects me to not feel like walking in them. I love how I look in heels, but not how my feet feel. I can spend a full day walking around in these with no pain, which is saying something since my feet are not accustomed to heels. It’s wonderful to have an attractive and painless shoe!
I have laughed out loud about how difficult they are to take off. Again, it’s getting better with each wear, but it helps to put your foot up on your knee so the zipper is facing up and push down on the heel near the back. That forces your heel out the zipper and the rest of the foot slides out. They are nearly impossible to pull straight off.

I am in love with these! Super cute with jeans or can be dressed up, quality materials, and super comfortable. I love the look of heels but not how they feel in my legs and back — these are the perfect answer given the stacked wedge. Very comfortable to stand and walk in. Great arch support that feels like it’s massaging your feet (like their sandals do). I wear a 37 regular width in Birkenstock sandals but these fit well in a size 38; I typically wear a size 7 in other brands. I have a narrow foot but a square toe box, and many boots pinch my pinky toes or are huge if I size up. These fit perfectly. They are a bit tight in the ankles when I walk (fine when standing or sitting) but other reviewers say they will stretch. I do not find them hard to get on and off as a few others have noted.

Again, this brand does not disappoint! Has excellent arch support, soft leather and fits like a glove. Very comfortable, bought in both black and brown.

I wear a regular 37 in Birkenstock sandals and assumed the narrow width of these boots would not fit me-I was very wrong. These fit perfectly. I have a slightly wide foot (like C width), with my main issue in my toes. Literally every boot and shoe I have tried on ends up squishing my toes, and if I size up they flop around. So even though these are narrow, because the toe area is wider they fit great. If you have a truly wide foot they may be too snug, but average to slightly wide may fit. No issues putting them on as there is a zipper on the side. My only disappointment is that the coloring of the shoes is inconsistent. The first pair was nice and dark but was really scuffed up and dented and just overall not great looking so I reordered and these ones are much lighter and just not as nice looking. Not a deal breaker for me though considering this is the first boot in over two years that has fit comfortably!
