I always wear a size 9 - these felt a little short & wide. Even with the buckles as tight as they could be-they felt sloppy on my feet. Overall very comfortable but just not a good fit for me.

The color is fab, the fit not so much. Even for a narrow footbed, it’s even more narrow than usual.
I have to return because the strap chafes my foot.

I hated to return these, the color is gorgeous and what I'd been looking for but the strap across my toe area cut's into the top of my feet mainly at the big toes, these are NOT SOFT as I had anticipated buying nubuck. Maybe other's won't have this problem but they just hurt too much, Suede is best comfort from now on.

The shoes were too big. Sometimes I wear a 38 and sometimes a 39, I needed these in a 38. Extremely disappointed 'cause I really like the shoes.

I ordered the pink with white soles. If you have seen these in person and already like them, go ahead. If you have not seen them in person yet, do not underestimate how shocking those white soles will be. I thought the sandals were adorable in the photos and drooled over them for quite a long time before ordering. When I finally got them in person and tried them on, all I could see was the glaring white stripe of the soles. In my opinion, it really detracts from the rest of the shoe. I also had the problem that the right shoe was ridiculously tighter than the left (sadly, like most other things, Birkenstock quality control has decreased). I would only advise getting these if you are ready for white soles and possibly having to exchange until you get a correct pair.

I absolutely love everything about this sandal—except there was no way it was for a narrow foot! I have other narrow Birkies that work for me, but this, sadly, went back. Sadly, The color, the white sole, the buckles are all adorable. If you have an average width foot and you like pink, go for it!

Nice shoes but I have a hard time finding comfortable shoes that fit. I found the cork sole hard with support in the wrong places. But I’m hard to please! My sister loves this brand.

I have many pairs of Birkenstocks but this two strap unisex version doesn't fit quite as great as the Mayari for me. Even on the smallest hole, the strap is too loose. But I need the regular footbed due to my toes. There just isn't a size that fits great. Also, the yellow wasn't nearly as vibrant as it is pictured on the website. In person it was much more muted and nearly a neutral.

These were huge all over. A half or full size smaller would have fit better, but even with a better fit, it's a big, wide shoe. The blue color was pretty but sent them back.

I bought these for my daughter's birthday since, apparently, Birks have made a big comeback with teenagers (go figure!) I opened the box and had to log in my Zappos account to make sure I didn't order the wrong thing. These are not "really" Birkenstocks. They are listed as such on the Zappos website but the brand on the box, on the footbed and on the buckle is Papillio. Had I looked closely on the website pictures I would have seen it, but I did not. Now it may very well be the same company or what not but I think that if a high school girl wants Birkenstocks for her birthday, she's expecting the Birks and nothing but the Birks. If you don't mind this though, they are really really cute! Can't speak to fit or comfort since they're going right back without being worn.

Sadly these shoes were stiff and terribly uncomfortable. The material used around the toe area was sharp and dug into my feet. Returned them asap.

This is the first time I have tried the Birkenstocks and I don't like them..I am going to be doing a lot of walking on vacation thought they would be for me..But they are not comfortable for me anyway. So this is why I am returning them.

The faux leather was scratchy and rough against my skin. Could not wear for more than a few seconds.

I like the soft footbed, but the suede leather upper was very stiff. These are going back.

I love the Arizona style but these were too hard and stiff for me and the right one cut into the top of the toe, I had to return but got them in another style in the same color and they're great, I also got the other style in the Apricot. Both are comfy I never thought I'd get anything but Arizona style but happy I did

The shoe looks bright orange in the photo and NOT in real life. When I got them, I was very disappointed. The color was much more muted and bordered on more of a yellow/tan than the true orange shown in the photo. It is a comfortable shoe, but my ratings are for color accuracy.

The hardware is tinny. Staples scraped the top of my foot. Footbed felt too short. I did not like the white sole which I don’t think was pictured in the online description of the shoe

The pair I received had jagged glue joining the side to the footbed. It wound up slicing my foot.

I ordered a size 9, medium width. These shoes were very long and wide; I couldn't even keep them on in order to walk in them.

I was very disappointed in these. They are very good looking and very comfortable. I was happy that a narrow width was offered. They fit very well. However, as I wore these in the house, I developed pain and redness on my left foot 3rd toe where the tab underneath the buckle hit my toe. I will be returning these. This is the second pair of Birkenstocks I have had to return.
