Customer Reviews Birkenstock London

Good and predictable

Ordered my usual size (38 or 7-7 1/2) in narrow width because that’s what I wear in the Boston...and it was too loose. Sent it back for a size smaller (37 or 6-6 1/2...narrow again) because that’s what I have in the toe-loop Birkenstock sandal and that was a much better fit.

I've been wearing Birkenstocks for 35 + years and I normally wear a size 38 normal in Birkenstock. sandals , but had to size up in the London style. They did feel terribly tight in the beginning but I've been wearing them every day around the house for 30 minutes or so and slowly they're getting softer and softer. Just about ready to wear at work 10 plus hours a day.

I used to only wear birks for years. Why did I ever stop and switch? No other type of shoe gives me the width I need, and I was sqeezing my toes for years into "medium width" expensive shoes because I thought they were better for my feet. I wear a 38 regular width in birkenstocks, or an 8 in us sizing. I tried a pair of 39's and they were too large. Birks need time to break in, I get rubbing marks for the first week, but they will soften and become your favorites.

These shoes are so comfortable.

Awesome show!!! Always get a lot of compliments on it!

Love these in the suede version. The oiled leather was too stiff for me. I hope they make these in black and mocha suede soon.

These shoes are super cute and comfortable. After reading other reviews I went up a size to a 39 narrow and they fit perfectly. I normally wear a 38 narrow in open toed birks, but they were too short in this style. They will not disappoint!

Cutest shoe I own! Love the way the feel and look! A shoe that will never go out of style!

Love Love Love these shoes. They are soo comfortable. I have several pair of Birkenstocks, including these in another color too. They are my go to when my feet are aching. So comfortable and look good too. I have had these for over a year and they are still good as new! A++

Great... still need to break in... but shoes and Zappo service is terrific.

The fit was challenging. I wear a 39 narrow in sandals but had to go with a 39 regular in closed toe Londons! My second toe is longer than my big toe and it was hitting the end of the 39narrow and the 40 narrow shoe was too big and sloppy on my foot. Going to a regular width in the 39 gave me a little extra toe room. Although the shoe is a bit wide, I can live with it for a little extra toe space.

Handsome and comfortable. Black is actually like a slate blue, very dark. I'm new to Birkenstocks. Glad I switched because the arch support is fantastic, but I hope the sole holds up to regular use.

These are awesome! They are so cool.

Very comfortable to wear all day but need to be softened by wearing several 2hour periods.

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.

Typical fit for Birkenstocks.

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.

Great shoe! Not sure I would like it from the pictures, but it fits and look great on.

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.
