I love my new blue birkinstocks.I usually wear an *American *6.5 or7.00 I have learned through trial and error that in Birkie land my feet are a 5 to 5.5. Once the learning curve has been embraced things in my shoe world are delightful!

My first pair of narrow and I wear a D width mens shoe regardless of the shoe. My last pair of Birks stretched out a bit and I now only wear them with socks. I tried the narrow and voila’. I’ve put miles on these with zero slop (once you dial in the buckles). I’m in Europe doing foot touring in 4 Portugal cities logging lots of miles on all cobblestone streets up and down in elevation. Best ever as it’s too hot to wear running shoes. I’ve had 4 pair of Birks and finally found what fits me best!

The finish on the leather was much shinier than in the photos. And the leather already had marks and light scuffs when I received it brand new in the box, so I can only imagine that it would scuff easily with normal wear. Because of the smooth surface and shine of the leather, marks would be more noticeable. So I didn’t care for the leather finish and returned for the oiled leather which has a matte finish and is much better in my opinion.

My first pair of Birks! Yeah! I like the color (tobacco) because it goes with black or brown tones. They are stiff and first and need to be broken in, but will be amazing once they do. I hear they last a lifetime.

These sandals fit well. I had a pair of Birkenstock sandals several years ago and decided I wanted some slip-on sandals to try. Really like these!

Love these and went back for another pair in suede but ended up getting them directly from Birkenstock because they were cheaper.

I love the Birkenstock Arizona; however, the blue oiled leather is so dark it looks black. Since I already have a pair of black Birks, I decided to return these as I really want a “blue” pair. I’ll keep looking.

It took me two tries to find the right size, but that's part of what makes Zappos awesome - free returns!
I normally wear a US men's size 8, and occasionally a 7.5, depending on the brand. I found a few different sizing charts online that recommended either a size 40 or even 41. I tried the 40 and even it was too big. I eventually found the Birkenstock sizing chart which has you stand with your heel against the wall and measure the length of your foot in mm. That chart recommended the 39, which I went with and fits great! I got the "Habana Oiled Leather" which is a nice classic look. Arizona Birks seems a little dated, perhaps, but you can't beat the arch support and comfort once hey break in.
I bought these to help with plantar fasciitis in both my feet, but it's too early to tell (1 week).

I normally take a 9M in regular Womens shoes. I take a 10M in Brooks running shoes. I tried both the 40 and 41 sizes and the 40 was the perfect fit!

I have fallen arches and feet that swell in warm or humid weather. These are the only sandals that I can wear all day. They’re pricy, but they last. I’ hard on shoes and wear these daily for 9 months a year in Southern California. I get about 2 years on average before they need replacing. That’s good value, in my book.

These birkenstocks fit just perfectly and are true to the old reliable Arizona style.

Decided to order these as my old birks were on their deathbed after almost a decade of heavy use.
I'm usually a women's size 7-7.5. My last pair I waffled back and forth between the 37 and 38 in the store, ultimately deciding on the 37. Unfortunately as they molded to my foot and curled a bit, I ended up with my toes touching the front. This time around I opted for a 38, and I have to admit it's odd having the extra room, but the fit seems much better overall.
The worst part about birkenstocks is the uncomfortable break in period, but the molded footbed after a lot of use is soooo worth it. The soft footbed makes it less uncomfortable as well.

These sandals fit perfect! After reading a few reviews and trying on a medium pair at a local store, I bought the narrow. I was really disappointed when I received them on and thought, no way, these are the most uncomfortable shoes in the world! I tried them on a couple more times and they kept feeling so much better that I returned the others that I bought. I absolutely love them and although they say to break them in for a couple of weeks, I actually took them on a trip after wearing for only 3-4 days and had no issues. Best decision I ever made!

I am a true size 7 so originally purchased a 38, which felt just a bit too big. Very glad I sized down to the 37, which fits perfectly. These shoes are just so comfortable - love it when a shoe actually looks AND feels great.
