It's winter in Montana and I needed something besides sandals (and I admit I was starting to wear socks with my sandals so my toes wouldn't get cold.). I wanted shoes I could wear around the house, to the mailbox, in the shop, taking the dog for a walk, and were easy to get on and off. I love Birks and I love these. I expect I will be wearing them a long time. I won't be posting pictures because I've already beat them up quite a bit in the 2 weeks I've had them, but that's what I bought them for. I'm watching for the Birkenstock Montana shoe to come back in a narrow and I will be getting those as my "going to town" shoe.

I wear 38 in Birkenstock sandals. My shoes size runs between 8.5-9. After reading reviews, I ordered up a size in the London (39). It was too big. I received the 38 yesterday and the fit is perfect.

Fit and size is excellent. I am a Men’s Size Medium, and the European Size 45 is perfect. Extremely comfortable. A little stiff out of the box, but within a couple of hours, perfect!

These are great! Very traditional Birkenstock fit. Super comfortable and made with quality. Not much else to say. I’ve worn Birkenstocks for 25 years and these don’t disappoint at all.

Typical fit for Birkenstock Soft Footbed a bit more cushion than the standard footbed.

I love my Birkenstocks. They may not be terribly fashionable, but I like the way they fit and feel. I will always wear them for their comfort and basic looks in my opinion.

I love all Birkenstocks, but I've never had a pair of Londons but wanted them for work. I always wear 39 although I wear a size 9 and have wide forefoot and high arch and my toes go right to the end, but never really hit. When I tried my usual 39 regular, my second to last toe hit the end, and it's just not the right kind of shoe for that to happen- and I didn't have socks on yet, so i tried a 40 - and they are a bit roomy, but i know once they melt into my feet, they will curve and fit perfect. I should probably be wearing a 40 anyway. They are beautifully made shoes and the leather is a dulled surface but smooth - will only get better with time.

I got these because they looked hand made. Birkies fit like gloves and this one fit almost too well...I got a little claustrophobic because I was strapped in so well, my feet didn’t move inside at all. My problem is that I have two bones growths on the top of my foot and the shoe rubbed one of those to the point of raw. I loved them, but had to send them back.

I love these shoes! The first pair I ordered was too wide but Zappos customer service was wonderful. They made the return very easy and my replacement pair came immediately!

I have had many pairs of Birkenstocks since 1989, but never had a closed toe version. I’m so thankful there are narrow sizes available for my super narrow feet. I am an art teacher and I’m on my feet all day 5 days a week and these were wonderful in the winter. I wear a 7.5 and the 38 is perfect for me.

I just ordered my second pair of these after retiring my original pair with 8+ years of nursing wear on them. All I had to do was have them resoled every year or 2 when they would wear down before the cork finally started ripping and the seams started to come apart. I feel like I got way more than my money's worth out of that one pair of shoes. They took me through over 8 years of 12 hour shifts on my feet, a lot of that overtime, and I don't remember ever complaining about my feet hurting. Birkenstocks are an up front investment but every pair I've ever had is well worth the money.

I have a mildly fallen arch, if I walk around barefoot for a day my arch and shin aches, but after an hour in this shoe all my pains fade away. Highly recommended, but they are so ugly they draw attention.

These are my go to work shoes most of the time. LOVE them! They are so comfortable and my feet rarely hurt after being on them all day. Definitely recommend these!

I love these shoes. I actually have 2 pair of the Black and 2 pair of the Blown. After a year+ of wearing them they get a little wrinkled looking and become my long-walk/get dirty pair. I've worn them with and without socks and think they are extremely comfortable. I have psoriatic arthritis in my foot/feet and these shoes provide total relief. I even prefer them to going barefoot. I also have several pair of Birkenstock sandals but I think that these are even more comfortable because they completely enclose my foot. They run wide, so the narrow is like a normal width. Otherwise the sizing seems accurate. All around an excellent shoe.

i loved how this looked, but it was too tight across the ball and top of my foot and then too long in the toes which made me sad.

I love these shoes. The heel rubbed for the first 2-3 days, but after that they are perfect.

So comfortable for work. The back rubs against your ankle a little bit until they are broken in but they are still great.

I love these shoes. My feet feel so good when I wear these. I have some issues with shoes being too tight around the toe area and then my feet start hurting, but not with these shoes. There is plenty of room for my toes. Very comfortable shoes!
