I love my shoes! It took a little time to break the shoes in, but after the weight of my body pressed the cork soles they fit so very perfectly and comfort my feet as I walk.

My sis had plantar faciitis and said these saved her feet. Then I too got it so ordered them up and they are my every day shoes. It takes about a week before they form to your footbed. Straps adjust. No need to try any others no matter what they claim. I'm an 8 1/2 wide and the 39 was perfect.

I love these Birks. They are very comfortable and give the support that I want to my feet. They are my first choice of shoes for every day.

I needed new Birkenstocks and so ordered a few different styles and sizes. These are the soft beds, which I have never tried before. They run wide, which is saying plenty from a lady with bunions! What this means is I need lots of space for the fore-foot, but not for my heel. The Regular width (not narrow) worked well and if you have a super wide foot, these would still work (I was actually hesitant to keep these because I have them set on the next to last smallest hole and worry about stretching). We just returned from our vacation and walked everywhere in these...no blisters or sore spots.

My first Birkies were purchased in Germany while on vacation. 14 years later and I found these. I am very glad that I picked this model. I love them. They are very comfortable and fit perfectly into the cork footbed.

I have never been a fan of how Birkenstocks looked, but after injuring my ankle last year, and needing something supportive and comfortable, my Birkies have met the task. They are incredibly comfortable. My feet are smiling.

I love this shoe it has the soft footbed that is so nice to my feet. Only wish it would never wear out. These shoes don't run true to size though. I bought a size smaller after having to return the one I thought was correct according to chart.

I purchased this same show (black) a couple of years ago and I also have it in black nubuck leather. Hard to tell the difference. I think I like the Birko-Flor better as the the tips of the leather straps curl up with age. I love the shoe - very comfortable and love Zappos. Their customer service is the best anywhere. I have had trouble with plantar fasciitis and I wear Birkenstocks most of the time. Size 39 works for me and I buy 8.5 to 9 in other shoes. Usually 9 in tennis shoes.

I have usually worn the two strap Birkenstoks. But theses three strap Birkenstocks are very comfortable and just like I read in the comments you do not have to clench your toes to hold them on while walking! I love them. I just wish there were more colors!

These fit pretty true to size. They do not have a high arch and form to your feet relatively fast. Very comfortable!

These are more comfortable than going barefoot! I like the Birko-Flor material because it stays looking good longer than leather. I've had another pair of these for 2 years, now, and they are still comfortable. Love them.

I have worn Birkenstocks for years and these are wonderful. I love the three straps because it makes the look a bit more feminine. Comfortable as you expect and required no breaking in period. Zappos customer service on these was outstanding!

Since moving to a new home with primarily wood floors, I have developed plantar faceitis. I began wearing memory foam slippers around the house and it helped some but not completely. So I researched what shoes work well for this condition. I must say that these Birkies have been a blessing.
There was an adjustment period where I had to make myself wear the shoes but I believe that was primarily because of my flat feet. The arch support took some getting used to. Now I am so glad I purchased these!
The price was a little hard swallow but that is true for all Birkenstocks no matter where you buy them. If they last for several years then they have paid for themselves. I appreciated Zappos free shipping/free returns in case these did not work out but am glad I didn't need to return.
I thank you and my feet thank you!

I love my sandals, can wear them all day - feet are never sore and really help my knees. Would recommend them to anyone. Might have to start off wearing them a few hours each day to get used to them but after it's great.

I am what you call a Birkenstock collector. I have well over 30 pairs in every color and pattern imaginable. Yes, I love them. I was blown away by the care and customer service I received at Zappos! I have always ordered mine from QVC, but I was looking online and noticed the Zappos site. That was the beginning for me! Not only do they have free shipping but they ship out like almost immediately! QVC's shipping has been getting higher and higher! I ordered 2 pair and they came in 3 days! I will now only be ordering from these guys! Wonderful experience. Thank you Zappos!

They were the right size footbed and I liked the style, but the straps were way too loose even in the tightest holes. I did not want to try to add additional holes and mess it up, so I returned these sandals. I then ordered this style in the mocha birkibuc and they fit perfectly. Really like the soft footbed.

These are not leather. However, the straps are soft and don’t cut into feet. I take a 7 1/2 med shoe and the 38s I originally ordered were too small. I exchanged for a 39. The right shoe is looser than the left. I have to punch a new hole in the strap across the toes to make the right shoe fit like the left. Never had that issue with a sandal before. I’m age 68 and appreciate the comfort of the sole.

I needed supportive sandals for walking around the house. I have avoided purchasing these shoes due to not loving the appearance. However they are perfect for what I need. They are comfortable and supportive and I feel good about giving my body the support it needs in the summer. When I was looking for a new sandal I looked at the type I had purchased many years ago that I still love and they were Birkenstocks. So glad these are still the quality I remember.

The only reason I’m not giving these five stars is because of the break-in period with new shoes—unfortunately these are no exception. Having said that, I know these are going to be awesome once they’re broken in; Birkenstock, you’ve done it again!

I have several pairs of Arizona soft footbed birko-flor regular width sandals that are perfect. This Florida regular width is slightly narrower and rubs a little on the edge of my foot. I like the style and am taking a chance that they will adapt to my feet.

These are more comfortable to Birkenstocks, for me. They look clunky to my eye, but my college girls approve, so there's that! I wish they had a tiny bit more heel so my foot wasn't so flat. Nice comfortable shoe that will have younger fans.
