Great looking Birk -
I have been wearing the Arizona Birk for over 10 years and wanting something a little more stylish! These really fit the bill!

These are very supportive. I have fallen arches and have not been able to wear regular sandals until these! Nice arch support. I also have a wide foot and these were more than roomy. Actually had to order one size smaller than my closed toed shoes.

A little different feel than the Birk Arizonas I am accustomed to but the Sydneys are terrific and I like the more narrow strap.

These are great!
Over the past year or so, I've purchased approx 2 dozen pairs of Birkenstocks. Just got the Sydney in the antique blue nubuck and it is by far my favorite to date. For some reason, these needed no break-in time. Arch is perfect! Color and styling fabulous! Will purchase Sydney in other colors.

Awesome!
This shoe has the usual great Birkenstock fit but the design is what really caught my eye. For all you Jerry Garcia fans, this is the shoe for you! Enjoy and keep truckin'!

Comfortable -
These are less clunky than most Birks so you get all the comfort with a bit more style. I got them in the khaki and they needed no break in time - they were comfortable right out of the box.

Stylish Birks -
I really enjoy the Papillio Sydney Birks. They're extremely comfortable, as expected, and Jerry Garcia's snail garden pattern adds to a stylish and fun look. They cost a bit extra, but I like to have a pair of Birks that are a little bit different than everyone else's. The Sydney style looks and feels more feminine than the standard Arizona as well. In my opinion, it's a better fit for a woman's foot. I have slightly narrow feet, and the regular width works fine for me. Nothing compares to Birks for comfort, support, and durability. A great buy!

Birkenstock Sydney - Garcia -
I was thrilled to find the Jerry Garcia line of Birkenstocks on Zappos! I have looked in stores and online for at least two years and finally located the style and color on Zappos.com. I placed my order and received my order the very next day with FREE shipping! Incredible service!! Thank you Zappos.com!!!!!

Heaven for your feet -
This is THE shoe if you are looking for all day comfort. I am a school teacher and although I do not wear these in the classroom, I slip them on immediately when I get home and I am totally at peace with the world! Great support!

Sydney -- a first for me -
A dedicated Florida wearer, this is the first time I've found a two-strapper that feels comfortable and doesn't look clunky.(I have a high instep and most 2-straps hit me in the wrong place). BUT - I wear a 39 in the Florida and had to take a 38 in the Sydney because it runs larger. Still in the break-in period, but so far it's okay. And I LOVE the denim blue. Why can't Birkenstock produce the Florida model in purple and sage and other non-boring colors????

So comfy!
This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I am not disappointed. I'm 28 yrs. old and I've had flat feet all my life. I always get tired and my back/feet hurt while shopping or walking around. When I wear these, I can walk around much longer than before. So very pleased, and this style is a little less clunky looking than the other Birks.

I've been wearing Birkenstocks and more specifically, the Arizona for years. I like the Sydney for the strap placement; i.e. the shoe feels more secure on my foot, the colorful designs and the moderate arch support. This is a wonderful sandal and worth every penny because they will last forever!

Sydney is great shoe-
Great shoe to wear around the house or out, didn’t take much to work them in as soon I got them I wear them for 6 hours. Only that the width is a bit smaller then it said (I wear 38R) and the top part it took time to get used to. Other then that is a great shoe to have is a 5 star.

What would I do without them?
Very classy (for a Birki, you say?) and sleek. Comfortable and well worth even the regular price. I purchased this shoe over one of the most popular shopping networks at least three years ago. I have worn them with jeans, skirts/sweaters, dresses, every type of garment. I wear them year-round. Just received my mail-order black nubuck Sydney's. In love with them too!

Love my Birkies!
I've worn Birkenstocks for years and have never had a misfit or a bad shoe. Love the support and the weight. Not a dressy shoe, but very comfortable. I live in them in the summer (or would if my boss would let me.)

Patent Leather Sydneys -
I love Birkenstocks; they're all I ever wear. I'd hoped that the black patent leather Sydney would suit me as well as my others, but I've been disappointed. The leather sole is much rougher than normal and the instep strap is placed higher on the foot than usual. Even though I ordered the same size, these seem a little narrower. I keep wearing them, hoping that they'll feel better broken in.

Clumsy looking but comfortable -
I needed a sandal that would provide support for my fallen arches and the heel pain it has caused. These sandals would not be my pick for a fashionable look but it is a comfortable sandal once it is broken in (which took about 2 weeks).

I just started wearing this type of shoe due to foot pain.

I am flat footed. This shoes has excellent arch support. Also its leather is too hard. It may take sometime to break in or in the process may cause blister unless I have to wear socks with it first.

Looks too wide for my foot -
Wish I had ordered a smaller size. Deceiving compared to my other Birkenstocks.
