Customer Reviews Birkenstock deleted

These shoes are great for the beach. Can get sandy and wet and dry out in no time. Great arch support.

I got these because I'm pregnant and knew my feet would need room to grow. They (or my feet) needed to be broken in a bit, since I ended up with blisters on the soles of my feet after the first wear. I don't know if the strap had anything to do with it, but I now have this awful pain on the top of my right foot, like torn ligaments. Makes wearing these nearly impossible now. Also, I've seen this style in lighter colors on other people and think they look great, but the black pair I got is a little "orthopedic" looking. Not the ideal pair of footwear for now but as they're Birkenstocks, I'm sure I'll keep them around for years.

These sandals are sturdy, comfortable and not bad looking either. I wanted something easy to slip on and off but more supportive than a flip flop, and these fill the bill.

As with most Birkenstock shoes it does rub the first day and give you a mini blister on the arch, but then the footpad wears in by the second to that typical Birkenstock comfort zone. The only minor thing I don't like is that the top toe thing pinches slightly, or at least doesn't seem as flexible. Overall, I'm happy. Also, I had to order down a size.

I couldn't believe how big these were. I usually wear a size 7 but remembered being a size 37 (6 to 6.5) in Birkenstock shoes in high school so I ordered a 37. I don't know if it was a mistake but they were gigantic, at least two sizes too big, with room in the front and back. I had to send them back and decided not to exchange.

Love these sandals in Berry! I\'m a size 7 but ordered the 6-6.5 and fits perfectly. The service was extremely speedy! Thanks, Zappos!

First, placed order on the Mar 31 and received my pkg on Apr 1. I liked the free upgrade I received from Zappos! I like the fit, but the shoe is a little stiff. Good time to break them in before the summer starts.

I love, love, love Birkenstocks. They're all I wear in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. These sandals are super sytlish and unique, and of course extremely comfortable. The first few times you wear them the straps might dig into the tops/sides of your feet a bit and be uncomfortable, but after that they're the most comfortable shoes to wear. Great arch support for a sandal. (infinitely better than flip flops or cheap mall sandals) My only complaint is that after 5-6 months of wearing them the cork is already cracking at the point where the sandal flexes and bends when you walk. (Near the mid-point of the sandal, by the ball of your foot) Overall, I love them and would recommend them.

Wow, ordered these the other night and literally got them the next afternoon! I am a size 11. I ordered the 42 narrows. Perfect fit, but alas, I don't like the color I picked. So bummed. Super comfy, even the thong doesn't bother, but I can't get over the brown patent. I'm returning for the black patent ASAP.

I have foot problems and needed footwear to wear in the house on hardwood floors (very hard on the feet). This sandal is great! Very light and the arch support is excellent. My feet never get tired at the end of the day. I also like the adjustable buckle strap that allows for a tight fit around my narrow foot. The only problem is that it has a "60's" hippie look about them, but for in the house wear, I can live with this.

Great shoes! I was very hesitant to order a size down from my regular size 6-6.5, but I did because of the previously posted reviews. I am glad I did, the smaller size fits perfectly. Just like all Birks, you need to wear them in a bit. The metallic color is a bit different, but they seem to match with everything reg. brown would. I have already received compliments on them!

They're great for my walk to work. Be sure to break these in. I wound up with blisters on the balls of both feet from wearing them too much too soon.

Nice to find narrow widths that actually fit! These are nice, but not quite as well fitting as my Birkenstocks. These required some wearing in - got a blister between my toes when I first used them, something that never happens with Birkenstocks. Wish there were other footbed choices (colors) - like black for example. That would dress them up a little, but all in all, I love them and am grateful to find narrow-width sandals that actually fit!

Good, but need to be broken in - I only gave this 3 stars for comfort because you have to break these in (unlike other Birks I've owned). The toe separator definitely gives you blisters if you aren't careful, but if you wear them gently the first week or so (no long hikes!), they're great! Very good for walking everywhere, as I do with my baby and the weird shiny brown leather color is quite nice.
