Customer Reviews Birkenstock Granada - Nubuck

The most comfortable shoe I own, I have 4 pairs of Granadas - Got my first pair of Birkenstocks in Vienna in 1987, and they are still the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I have 20 pairs of Birkenstocks, and the Granada is my favorite. Zappos provides outstanding service and selection, and I appreciate the fact they carry the regular width.

Great Shoes; Great Service - Zappos had my order of Birkies at my door in record fashion. Thanks!

Love the Granada Style - I own two pairs of the Granada style and love them. They look great and with a lot of shoes not fitting properly, these fit like a dream. If you wear a 7-1/2 shoe, get the 37 which is 6-1/2-7 in Birkenstock.

First Rate - I've had my Granada sandals for 10 years. They are very comfortable but are beginning to look a little tired. I like the thin straps. They look good with a variety of clothes.

Comfort over attractiveness I used to swear that I would never own a pair of Birkenstocks because they were the ugliest shoes I'd ever seen. The Granada is, in my opinion, one of the more attractive ones, but it's still not what I'm going to wear to make a statement. Despite the look of this shoe, it is, by far, the most comfortable shoe I've ever placed on my foot. If you've never owned a pair, your arches will probably hurt for the first few days until the cork molds to your foot, but, after that, you'll wonder why you wear anything else. I literally wore these shoes until they fell apart, and then went out and bought a new pair.

I love Birkenstock. I have a tendency to put most of my weight on the heel which translate to sore calves the next morning, so the original Birkenstock foot bed does a excellent job of relieving that. My major quips with this shoe is that it feels a size larger than what I usually wear with the Arizona-style Birks. I wear a 35, but on this shoe I could've gone down to a 34 if they made it that small. So I'm not sure if the slightly larger size is why I'm blistering on my insteps or if because the leather needs time to break in. Style wise, I like the more feminine look. The color of the shoe on is not true to the image of the shoe shown. It's a little browner and less gold.

These are my first pair of Birkenstocks. I really like the shaped footbed, and the fact that they come in narrow widths! I'm an 8.5 N and the 39 narrow fits perfectly. Traditionally, I have always had to have an ankle strap, because my feet slide out of most shoes, but the narrow width takes care of that. The die-cut straps are very flattering. The only thing I don't like, and I didn't realized this about Birk's is, the sole is not very flexible. I find myself reaching for the sandals (Merrell San Remo) I bought these to replace because of that.

This style is much more stylish than the others because they are more strappy. I just wish they were in a more neutral color, since I don't wear much that necessitates brown sandals. The few times that I've worn them, I have found them to be pretty comfortable, but they are less cushioned than the Mephisto sandals I also purchased.

Great fit and feel. Loved these sandals; however, the thin straps finally frayed and broke after about 5 summers which I feel is a bit short for Birks. Sole is still in great shape, but they can no longer be worn because of the broken thin straps.

My First Birkenstocks - It took some time to adjust to this shoe. I like this shoe, however, I bought a Mephisto shoe at the same time and I like it better.

2nd pair - Very hard to break in. I bought this pair to replace a pair I had worn to death. I remembered that the first pair took a little while to break in, so I wasn't too worried when the new pair seemed stiff. Little did I expect that a full month later, I am still dealing with real discomfort on the tops of both feet. I hate to throw in the towel with these shoes, especially given how expensive they are (and the memory of how fabulously comfortable the first pair was!), but I'm getting really fed up at this point.

These are the best, most beautiful Birkies ever and I wish they would start making them again! I love my Granadas because they have enough straps to stay on well (toward the topside—ankle end of the foot), but with the thin, cut-out style are very feminine looking. Mine are getting kind of worn thin and need replacing, but I haven’t found a style I like as well. :(

This was my second pair of Birkenstocks after figuring out the sizing. I bought them for my vacation to the Caribbean and they were perfect! They are so comfortable and the color is great.

I love these Birkenstocks! They fit well and are comfortable. The only problem is that the buckles squeak against the leather when I walk.

I know that people love Birkenstocks, so I'm disappointed that I can't jump on that bandwagon; but I didn't find these sandals very comfortable. The footbed is so hard and inflexible that I tripped just walking around my house. For the very expensive price, I'm not really interested in breaking them in.

This is my third pair of Birkenstocks and my favorite! Birkenstocks in general are so comfortable, I never want to take them off, so for support and comfort they are perfect! For me, they tend to run a little big (which I do not mind at all), so if you want a more snug fit maybe size down half a size. As for style, my older pairs are both the classic strap style, but I definitely prefer these as they are so much cuter!

Great feeling, great looking, great all around - The Granda is a wonderful shoe, and it looks young and modern on my feet. It's very comfortable and I'm very pleased with the way they fit.

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh - These sandals are wonderful. You slip your foot into them, and it's like they were custom made for your foot only. I would recommend these to everyone!!!!

Comfortable, versatile sandal - I have owned two pair of Arizona style Berkenstocks in the past. This style fits more snugly and looks a little bit dressier to wear with skirts or casual pants.
