Very comfortable! Took these through 3 airports and lots of walking - love them! I also bought some for my mother. The size was too big and the return/customer service at Zappos is the best. She had her new pair the next day.

I love these sandals and have been wearing them everyday since they arrived a week ago! They are so comfortable and the color is great. I would highly recommend them for anyone who needs foot support.

These are my go to sandals. I wear my Gizehs everyday year round. I thought I would try the 38N as the regulars eventually stretch out until even the last buckle whole is not snug enough. The narrows were fine for my heel, but my toes were coming over the lip and there seemed to be less room for the length of my big toe. I am returning the narrows and having a pair of regular widths sent. I wear them everyday and seem to need a new pair once a year. I do not know what I would do without them.

These are so comfortable and I love the color (I got them in Antique Lace). This is my second pair of Birkenstocks. I have had my others for 11 years and they are still in great condition! I'm an 8 but I bought a 38 and they are perfect!

I have a hard time finding cute shoes with arch support. These are super versatile and comfortable. I wear a 9, but the 40 was too big. I went down a size to the 39 and they fit perfectly.

My mother bought me my first pair of Birkenstocks when I was pregnant with my first child 22 years ago. I have had a pair ever since and they are my go to shoes when I am home or running errands. After a long day at work, I cannot wait to come home and slip them on. They are like gloves for your feet. This model in metallic takes it up another notch with bohemian chic style. I just love them!

Contrary to previous reviews, I found the Zappos recommended sizing to be correct. I am a true 9 Narrow and found the size 40 Narrow gave me the recommended 1/4" spacing between my foot and the raised edges of the footbed. The thong is a little wide for my feet but hopefully I'll get used to it.

Summer flats and sandals without support were taking their toll on my feet. I purchased this style as they look a little dressier than other Birkenstocks. The toe posts are a bit uncomfortable, but I think that I will get used to them and other than that my feet definitely felt relief after just a day! I usually wear a size 8, but the 39 were much too large, the 38 fit perfectly!

Love these sandals. This is my second black pair. The first pair lasted about 10 years of constant usage. Embarrassingly so! Very comfortable and my favorite look of all the Birkenstock styles.

I wish that I could keep these sandals; however, I have very long toes and they rub up against the front of the shoe which is raised and it causes discomfort.

Pretty shoe (for Birks) but the arch is built up too much for someone with lower arches that doesn't need it to be built up as high and hurts to walk in them.

Absolutely love these shoes! In typically Birkenstock fashion, it took a few wears to make them comfortable. I was deciding between this color and the black "licorice" but I thought this was slightly younger and trendier for my 20-something self. I gave the licorice colored ones to my mother and she loves them!

I exchanged it for one size smaller because they ran larger than my usual size. The Zappos rep was amazingly helpful! Great experience!

These are nice sandals that are stylish and perfect for any summer outfit (jean shorts to dresses). I usually wear a 7.5, but the 38s were too big. The 37 fit well. The hard plastic between the toe may be uncomfortable at first. I found that it didn't bother me after a few weeks. When I wear these, I do tend to have problems with little pebbles getting stuck under my feet. The tend to kick up into the shoe and then stay there due to the lip around the edge.

These are my 5th pair of Birkenstock footwear. Have NEVER been disappointed and this pair was no exception. I am confused about the "plastic" piece being mentioned. I have inspected my pair and had Hub look at it too and the thong is leather! For sure! The part in between the toes... 100% Leather!! I have received many compliments on these and love wearing them with jeans, capris, skirts and dresses!

Very comfortable, super cute & stylish. Really love the onyx color. Felt a full size too big, I exchanged for a 38 after ordering a 39. Size issue was in the length, not the width, which felt fine in both sizes. I ordered medium width. My first pair of Birks -- love them!

These shoes are great. The leather upper is very comfortable. It is, however, a challenging shoe. When you're breaking them in, I wouldn't suggest wearing them for a whole day the first time you wear them. But after you break them in, then they're formed to your feet, and they're awesome.

I love my new Birkies! They are known for comfort and reducing foot tiredness and pain. These shoes level my very supinated feet, leveling them, thus aligning my spine and improving my posture. My whole body feels better. They are great and I'll get another pair. They're really cute too.

I'm an 8 in all shoes, unless the manufacturer has really wonky sizing. The toe box of this sandal fits perfectly, but I have a lot of extra space in the heel, so I think it runs a little big. The sandals are far more supportive than any other sandal out there, but the strap between your toes can take some wearing in. Also, coming from a flats-only perspective, not having a back heel strap can feel weird at first. The silvery blue is subtle and matches almost everything.

I love these shoes! I really like the licorice color. It has just a little sheen to it which helps to dress them up just a bit but of course has a casual flair as well. They are very comfortable. I'm very happy with these and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great sandal. I wear an 8 1/2 and a 39 was perfect.

My feet seem to get so tired at the day so a friend suggested I try Burkenstocks. Just got these two days ago and I must say...I really like them. This particular style and color are not as scary ugly as some if the others. I like them a lot and am considering them in another color.

Love these! So comfy...I ordered the titanium at first and decided I didn't like the color. I called Zappos customer service to exchange for the licorice color. I am not sure I have ever had a better customer service experience! Bravo Zappos for awesome customer service and Bravo Birkenstocks for my happy feet!

I have to say...I liked everything about these shoes except that I am a true size 9EE and these little guys were not wide enough for my feet. Truly wide-footed ladies, we'll have to go for one of the unisex styles, unfortunately.

Wearing these for the first time today straight out of the box. Very comfortable and supportive on the arch. This is my fourth pair of Birkenstocks and I still find them to be some of the most comfortable sandals ever. I always order the narrow width and they fit my narrow feet perfectly.

The plastic piece between the toes is hard and uncomfortable. The footbed is fine. I am a solid size 8 in every shoe (aside from running shoes) and the 8/8½ (39) fit perfectly. I have had these for a week now and I am still trying to wear them in. My sister told me it took her 1½ weeks so I am hoping that I will get used to the plastic part. In hindsight, for the money spent, I should have just returned them.
