Customer Reviews Birkenstock Birki Curacao by Birkenstock

These are super cute! I'm so glad I took a chance on them! After having read the review, I decided to go for it, as I don't have a narrow foot. I couldn't resist the rainbow, and I'm so glad I didn't-they are perfect for this summer and as long as the elastic lasts-they are comfortable and the elastic stretches as you walk, but the sandal doesn't come off of the foot at all. I haven't worn them for a long period yet, but as soon as it's warm enough... Definitely give them a shot! If you want Birkenstock's support without the dowdy look-these are the shoes to try (as long as you don't have too wide of a foot).

Really cute shoe. However, I have a really narrow foot so the ankle band was to wide for me...so I altered it by folding about an 1/8 of an inch over and sticking it down with a couple of really cute buttons. Everybody says I've enhanced the look of the shoe.

Pros: Easy on/off, hug-your-feet comfort, and a fun casual summer style. Very high quality. These are my third pair of Birk's. My previous two pairs lasted 5+ years. Don't waste your money buying 10 pairs of cheap flip-flops. Get one pair of Birkenstocks that could last longer than a decade if you treat them well. Cons: Getting the correct size in Birk's is always a challenge for me. I normally wear a 7.5 to 8 depending on the brand. In Birk's I normally order a 38, but went with a 37 because these are elastic slip-ons. A 36 probably would have been even better. I have approximately 1/4 inch at the heel of the shoe that my foot does not fill. I can wear both wide or normal width shoes depending on the brand. I personally wouldn't classify these as narrow at all. I'm keeping the 37 I ordered because I love the style and colors so much I refuse to wait for another pair.

Comfortable, classy, great with pants or dresses. Only drawback is that you can't adjust width as you can with so many Birkis. As the elastic stretches that may be a problem but my feet are exceptionally narrow so it probably won't be an issue for most. Can go all day in these!

These Birkis are so fun and I am sad to have to return them because the striped straps are elastic and not very tight so that when you walk your foot comes up off the footbed. There is not any way to tighten them so I am sending them back. I am very disappointed.

Very fun, super comfy! Worried about the "narrow" width, but it was not an issue. Feel great, I wear them all the time and everywhere.

I usually wear orthotics for my arch but these sandals were comfortable to me right out of the box. They are fine for walking and go with all my summer clothes.

I love these shoes! They are the bomb.com and everybody should have 'em. They have a foot imprint in 'em to make them super comfy.

I love these shoes! Exactly as pictured. My usual Birkenstock size fits great like always. Unfortunately the rainbow stripes are being returned. They are super fun but I've discovered they also come in beige stripes (Zappos does not currently carry) and I will be able to wear those much more. Maybe I will purchase the rainbow stripes next summer! I really want to wear these colorful shoes right now and own both pairs but Dave Ramsey says one pair will suffice!

This is one of the most comfortable Birki's I've ever worn. The flexible stretchy straps conform to the foot and require absolutely no break in.

These sandals are so cute and comfortable! A step up from wearing flip flops in the summer with great arch support! I have been wearing Birkenstock/Birki's for over 20 years and the styles keep getting cuter every year! I do feel the sizing is smaller than usual - I have been a US 8.5/EU39 and my big toe sticks out just so slightly (with discomfort) when I walk in these. I just ordered a size bigger to see if it fits me better. I also wish this style comes in normal width - I don't really have wide feet but the narrow width fits me just borderline - again I hope a size bigger will solve these issues. Can't wait for them to arrive so I can start wearing them!!

I've had a pair of these sandals since 2006 and they are still going strong! I wear them to the beach, the pool and for errands on regular basis. The soles still have good tread and the foot bed has not deteriorated in any noticeable way. The care instructions say not to get them wet or to leave them in direct sunlight, but I admit I have been guilty of doing both of those things at the pool and beach. Even with all that abuse they have still held up really well. The only thing I've really noticed is that the elastic strap has become more loose from frequent use, which is to be expected, but they are still wearable and do not fall off. And FYI they do run large. I usually wear a size 8 in other brands, but with Birkenstocks and Birki's I wear a 7 (US women's).

Very Cute. I had many compliments on how nice they are. My only problem is the elastic is loose on my feet.(they are narrows). I am afraid that the elastic will stretch out too quickly.

I have the multicolor version, which I bought elsewhere, even though I wanted the beige version, which they did not have. The multi's fit beautifully and are very comfy, no complaints, whatsoever. I ordered the beige/white from Zappos and received them right away. The footbed suede was of inconceivable quality - very rough and spotty in appearance. The straps were a bit too loose. I immediately returned and received a new pair. The footbed is of the usual standard, although the straps are not quite as snug as my multi-colored ones. They are a great looking sandal, I will keep this pair. I have at least 6 or 7 pairs of Birkenstocks, by the way. As usual, Zappos has fantastic customer service!

These are simple and cute and I really wanted them to work but they had a very weird hump in the middle to outside of the arch area. It felt uncomfortable. I have a high arch on one foot and a bit less on the other and this hump did not fit anywhere.

Great if you want to look like a clown. I liked the idea of having colorful comfort; however, these are just too much. Gaudy.

I read the other reviews about the shoe slipping off the foot. I found this to be true when I first starting wearing them but now I have no problems. I don't know if I just "learned" how to keep them on or the footbed formed to my foot. They look great on my foot!

I was SO disappointed when I got these shoes because they are really cute and I thought they'd be great for the summer. However, as many have said before, they are not narrow at all. I really don't see how they can be called narrow. Sigh. Had to return.

I fear I will have to send these back. Ordered narrow, they say narrow but clearly they are a WIDE narrow! Other reviews said this. I just didn't want to believe it.

Loved these shoes but they are not narrow. The box even says medium and I have a feeling they are just listed in the computer wrong. Too bad because they were perfect otherwise but huge straps for a narrow foot.

Rats. I have never had to return Birkis in my life, but I just can't deal with the elastic. They appeared to fit and looked cute, but once I started walking around the house for a "test drive" I knew they had to go back to Zappos. When I walk, these sandals flapped on me. I could tell they'd be a challenge to keep on. They really are cute, though.
