Great comfort - I have 2 other pairs of these are the same style (blue suede and red suede). I bought this pair and they are by far the most comfortable, looking into buying more. My feet use to hurt all the time until wearing these.

Comfort - I love these sandals. Finally came out with black. Now you need to make them in white and black patent. I have the red and taupe and I wear them every day. Extremely comfortable. Please at least make them in white by next summer. They are so much more stylish than the originals of which I have 5 pairs.

Best Sandal - I knew I would like the Tabora. I have a pair that I have been wearing constantly in warm weather for a few years. I got another pair because I don't want to be without them when the first pair wears out. You can practically run in these sandals because they fit so well and are so comfortable.

These Papillo's are good looking and comfortable. My 1st pr is still in good shape after 2 summers of everyday wear, and this is my 2nd pr of Tabora's. I just found out they are not making this style anymore.

Wonderful - A little breaking in at the toe area, while the leather softens, but these are very comfortable...I have been fighting plantar fascia, and these are great to keep the symptoms at bay. This is one of the nicer looking Mephisto shoes, not too bulky looking. Much prettier and more feminine. You won't regret these!

Awesome - I've never been able to wear sandals with anything between my toes before. They are the most comfortable Birks I own. And they all I wear in the summer.

There is nothing as good as a birkenstock for comfortable sandals.

You can't go wrong! This sandal makes me smile and want to wear it all the time. It's super comfy, very attractive and slimming to a wide foot or leg. At first I wasn't sure how comfortable a 'between the toes' sandal like this would be...but 2 minutes after it arrived I was wearing it for running errands and 24 hours later I wore it on an airline trip out of the country. That says a lot for how comfortable, light weight, and versatile this item is. The heel part of the sole is slightly contoured like all Papillios are which means it will hold up better to natural wear and tear than Birkenstocks do. If this came in more color choices, you can bet I'd own more! P.S. I heard about Zappos from some friends on the West Coast. Zappos rocked from beginning to end...the shoes arrived super fast!

Birkentstock's Tabora - These shoes are very comfortable. The toe insert helps to support the foot in the sandle as well as the strap. The color is versatile.

Best sandal I ever bought - If ever there was a flip flop addict... these shoes have cured me! Birkenstocks rock - I'm going to wear these shoes until they rot off my feet.

The perfect shoe - This is one of the few shoes that I would give five stars in all categories. It's not as clunky-looking as most Birkenstocks, but it still has that molded-to-your-own-feet comfort. I wish I lived in a warm climate, so I wouldn't have to put these away for the winter. I did notice that the Birkenstock sandals can run a bit large. I ordered a size smaller, and that was just right. They also seem wide, but that's fine with me, since I have a wide foot.

A great sandal - This is my second pair of Birkenstock's Tabora. They are a great shoe -- very comfortable and attractive, too. I did order a size smaller than I order in some other brands.

These shoes are comfy, breezy, and, well-made - What else would you expect from Birkenstock? I purchased the pink ones and I have to tell you they are so cute and fun and go with so many items of clothes that I own. They add a certain cuteness to my attire that I enjoy. I love how that shade of pink is so flattering with my skin tone especially after a day at the beach! They are sooooo comfortable too with that molding footbed associated with Birkenstock. One thing I think that is cool about the Tabora is that you get the quality and comfort you expect with a zing of flair and fun. Not your typical style sandal. You'll get lots of compliments or double takes with these sandals. Fun Fun Fun!!!

Silky Suede Tabora - With a few added buckle holes, the Tabora allows me to adjust the single closure to meet the needs of a medical condition that requires adjustment several times a day. They're extremely comfortable and I get compilments any time I wear them.

My Favorite so far! I have been a loyal customer of Birkenstocks for at least 15 years now. I wear them 75 percent of the time. This has been my all time fave. The feel and fit is perfect for my foot. I don't know what I would do without my Birks!

AWESOME! I love these sandals, they were comfortable form day 1, I will buy this style again. I wear Birkenstocks all the time! have many styles. I do however love nad trust the comfort of the old orginal style as I have tried a new stly shoe and it was aweful, I had to return them... will never try a newer style again if it does not follow the triditional Birkenstock style.

A prettier birkenstock - Just as comfortable as the pair I had 12 years ago, but slightly more feminine and pretty.

Comfy Summer Shoe - My first pair of Birks - I recommend them. I have a very narrow size 8 foot; 38 narrow fit perfectly. The adjustable strap helps. The suede is soft and required little time to break in. I'm a nurse, so I appreciate a healthy shoe!

Love the tabora - This sandal was comfortable from the moment I put my foot into it. I have been walking non-stop in it for a few weeks and would be hard-pressed to change it to another sandal. I Love the pink color too! I get complimented almost daily from total strangers on this shoe! If I didn't have 3 kids to clothe and feed I'd be buying more in other colors.

Excellent Sandal - I love the color and the fit was great, I have a long, medium to narrow foot, this worked great in the size I received, 41N, my foot is about a 9 or 10 depending on manufacturer. Birkenstock makes a wonderful footbed.

Comfy, more feminine style! Just bought these and love them. Went down a size to a 38 - 39 felt too floppy/loose. My second pair of Birks and love them! Have the Ibiza in the new light blue and get compliments all the time.

Birkenstock does it again! I wanted a Birkie w/ less material covering my feet for summer. So, I tried these and true to form they were super comfy and did not cause any sores or blisters during the usual, agonizing "break in period" like w/ other brands. I now have Birkies for every season and will continue to try all the styles I like knowing I just can't go wrong no matter which style I pick!

My new favorite shoe - I bought this shoe in pink and fretted that I might be choosing frivolously. Actually, I find that I can wear this with more than I thought. It looks neutral against my fair skin and looks great with any solid color except for maybe red and orange. As usual, Birks are the most comfortable shoe around.

My favorite sandal! I ordered a pair of these in taupe 3 years ago and I still wear them all the time! They still look great as well. I have very narrow feet and I usually don't like thong-style sandals, but these are wonderful. They are cute and comfy. I just received another pair in pink for Mother's Day and am so excited. I highly recommend this shoe.

love these! I would never have bought these online. They looked a bit dorky in the picture, but I tried them on in a shoe store and now have 3 colors. I can walk in these all day long. Love them!
