The fit was not acceptable. They were so wide! I really could not walk in them.The style was good but, the width was wrong. The arch support was useless because of the clog's excessive width. I normally wear a women's 7.5 wide shoe and /or sandal so, I thought these would be ok but, they weren't.

I loved these shoes and wore them to work since I got them in Early November I am a nurse and walk a fair amount but to only have the for 6 or 7 months the tread is almost completely worn off I keep slipping in them now and I fear the day I will break my neck. The leather upper lasted fine and they are comfy but I need a cobbler stat

Returning real quick - they arrived stained and stinky. Not my typical experience with Zappos but thankfully they make returns easy enough.

Overall too large for the size. Very uncomfortable. Caused foot pain so I avoided wearing them. My first bad experience with Birkenstock. They have always fit well and been comfortable before.

size fits exact if you wear 10.5 you need a 43 ( I am not sure these are not knock offs. My wife has owned many pairs and never have they been some type of suade (not leather) its cracking and coming off after 3 days. Leather does not crack and fall off ( there is no oiled to this ) its the material that would come on your couch....

The Birkenstock snap came off before I had a chance to even wear these shoes. I have owned so many Birks and never had any problem. Big disappointment.

I returned these. The leather was very hard and stiff. The edges of the leather felt “sharp”. (I don’t know how else to describe it). I felt it would be a long break in period.

Shoes were damaged! Suede had a gash in it and looked like it was cut. I was on hold for over 30 minutes trying to get an exchange and then got an email saying my payment was declined on the exchange which makes NO sense!!! It was supposed to be an exchange and I shouldn't have been charged for the exchange. i"ve been on hold for another 30 minutes trying to get this sorted out. Never order from Zappos again!!! I just order these shoes from Famous Footwear while i"m on hold with Zappos!

My shoes arrived today and they looked like they have been worn. They are also two different shades of blue. Very disappointed. Returning them.

I purchased the same size as my old birks. These were huge and wide. Seemed 2 sizes to big.

These didn’t fit at all. I ordered a size 12-12.5. I have a pair of sandals in this size that fit well though. Maybe I need a size bigger. I’m returning them.

I had to send them back because the suede was rubbed off a part of the top of each shoe. They were out of my size so I couldn’t get a pair that wasn’t damaged. Who would send a pair of shoes out like that?

At first blush, these fit and seemed okay. But the footbed has absolutely no give to it (especially the hard recessed heel where most quality footwear provides cushioning. As a result, they brought on plantar pain for me the more I wore them. As soon as I stopped wearing them, the pain started fading. First and last pair of birkenstocks for me. Painful + Ugly = No Redeeming Value.

I just could not get past the ugly finish of these shoes! I was looking for something other than suede in a Birkenstock, but this one is not it! They look like rubber, so shiny. I am returning.

Birkenstock is the worst shoe I’ve ever worn. The footbed is beyond uncomfortable and my feet hurt terrible. The support is horrible, and the clogs feel larger than the actual size. Their C.S. is beyond worthless.

I was very disappointed in Birkenstock with this purchase. I have been a fan and Birkenstock supporter/consumer for years. I have to say that the quality of this shoe has turned me off. The workmanship is lacking greatly; you can see major gaps in the seams, the glue that was used was inconsistent, and in one place in had dripped on the shoe's footbed. For an expensive pair of shoes, it does not live up to its name/brand.

For the average foot this shoe is probably great; my wife loves her Birkenstock’s. I, however, have very wide feet so the “medium” fit is too narrow and the shoe got even narrower at the heel; I also have almost no arch so the arch support was not comfortable. I had great hopes but it’s just not right for me.
