I had a pair of these that I bought about 10 years ago and loved them "to death". Was really happy they still made this style. They fit and felt good immediately...no "breaking in". You can't go wrong with Birks!

I also like SAS sandals.

Not quite what I wanted. These fit fine, but I found a similar pair with a black buckle instead of silver and somehow they seemed to fit better. I returned the ones with the silver buckle and kept the dark buckle ones.

I don't find them comfortable; thought they would be without breaking them in. Hoping that is the problem as of now they have a ridge that hurts my toes when I walk. Do like the look of hem.

I have this style in burgundy and I was looking for another color besides the neutrals. Anyone who needs to clean "toe marks": all you need is some leather cleaner (I had to use inside a pair of Sperrys for which I use socks always but still got the "toe marks") and a microfiber cloth and you get a quick clean.

The floor bed is so unique that nothing comes close to it.

My goal for these sandals was to be a more supportive, more grownup looking alternative for my usual flip flops. Perfect for that. The cutouts on the straps do make them more feminine than other Birks. The straps cut up my feet on the first wearing, but once they broke in I was very happy with the comfort. True to size by the Euro conversion, and the "narrow" width fits my normal-to-narrow feet well.

This was the first time I'd tried Birkibuc (I have numerous leather Birks), and my reservations were completely unjustified, because the Birkibuc is very attractive and looks close enough to Nubuck that I don't think anyone could tell the difference from just looking. The colors are lovely (especially the mocha and the onyx), and they feel great. My only complaint (reflected in the number of stars) is that these don't have the soft footbed, which is MUCH more comfortable than the regular one, which is pretty darn hard. It also makes a slight difference in the fit. My feet are very flat and narrow, and the little bit of extra height of the soft footbed makes them fit a bit more snugly and better for me because I already adjust them to the tightest setting and the extra height helps. So looks-wise, these are just as attractive as the leather uppers, but comfort-wise, the soft footbed is very much more comfortable for me, as I don't have much padding on the bottom of my feet.

Wore the Granada for many years very comfortably & loved them! HOWEVER, now at 77 the bothersome bunions by my little toes cause these Granada’s to be too tight. I mistakenly ordered the narrow width, so I shall reorder in the wide width!

I am an 8 and ordered a 39 but they are too big and narrow for my regular/wide feet. Returned them.

I have a pair of Birkenstock sandals that I love. I ordered these, not realizing that they only came in narrow. They almost fit, but are just a little bit too narrow to fit perfectly. Sadly I am sending them back!

I love the comfort and softness of this model and I am on my second pair. Fair warning though, I am on my second pair because the first pair's strap ripped right next to the buckle in top of the shoe. Today I just noticed that the same thing is happening again to my second pair, after about two month of wearing them. It seems as though the buckle itself is rubbing against the leather and is slowly wearing it down. This should not happen but these sandals are so comfortable, I am buying one with a more sturdy or oiled top leather.

Even though the shoes were ordered in Narrow, tightening to the last hole in the straps, they were still too wide. Otherwise, loved the shoe.

While this had built in arch support, the entire foot bed was as hard as cement. There was absolutely zero cushioning at all. Definitely a more feminine style than typical Birkenstocks but the lack of comfort was a nonnegotiable.

I was so excited to order and get these. I can't stand anything in between my toes so my go to summer slides always have straps and these straps were SO stylish and different. Unfortunately, despite the description saying a regular width foot could comfortably wear these, they rubbed the side of my foot, just below my big toe, horribly. No matter how I adjusted the strap, they just would not fit. I had to return them and am now on the hunt for a different pair. I LOVE Bierks and this is the first pair I have ever had that didn't fit comfortably but buyer beware - narrow means narrow (despite the description).

I've worn Birks for 30 years and they are reliably comfortable. I ordered this one based on that, knowing my size and width. However, these are very stiff shoes, and not so comfortable. They also squeak when I walk. I'm hoping that breaking them in will help but so far it's not so easy.

Bought these shoes at DSW, without realizing that they weren't leather. They were super comfortable for 6 months, until one of the straps abruptly ripped. This was unexpected and sad - I've had leather/suede birks that have lasted for years. If a leather version of this style is available, get that instead.

These fit perfect and were super comfortable. However i had to return due to a huge chunk missing out of the front of the toe, , looks like it got cut by a knife and was very noticeable. Very dissapointed that they sent these anyway damaged...

I received a size 8 and a half. I re-order a 7.5. Hope I get the right size this time.
