Customer Reviews Birkenstock Papillio by Birkenstock Arizona Platform Sandal

this is very bad did not enjoy it at all it makes you trip every step you take its to hard sole that does not bend hardly used

I wanted these for house shoes. I have plantar fasciitis in one foot from an injury I endured at a foam party nearly 2 decades ago. The 1st pair I ordered were scuffed up and a little long on me so I returned them effortlessly for a new smaller size. It's true, these are stiff and take a little more time to break in. Once you do they feel pretty darn good. I've been wearing Birkenstock for over 20 years. I like the different styles that Birks sister brand Papillio offers. I love the little extra added height on these. The copper on this pair does scuff and mark easily so I ordered another pair that isn't as delicate.

I ordered these a bit impulsively and they are my go to shoe this summer. The platform is great for keeping wide leg pants from dragging and on trend, while not being overly in your face. They’re not too heavy either. The classic Birkenstock footbed is super supportive. These are like fashionable orthotics. Ladies who wear a medium width should get the narrow in these.

So happy with these!! In sneakers I wear a 10.5 wide (never find shoes in a store, always online) In Birks I wear a 40 Narrow. I find Arizonas run large compared to street shoes, so order 1/2-1 size down. Fit is perfect!! I’ve been wearing Birks for just over a year to keep my plantar fasciitis under control as recommended by my podiatrist. Great firm support! Ill post a pic—later—not now with these Pandemic-toes-I-need-a-pedi-so-bad.

These are so stylish and super comfortable. I’ve owned like 10 pairs of birks and these are at the top of the list!

The fit was true to size. I love love love the cuteness factor. I am short so to have height and comfort is a win. Get these, you won’t regret it.

All I wear are Birkenstocks, regular, never platforms. I really wasn't sure how they would feel. These sandals are just as comfortable as the regular Arizona ssndals. I'm glad I bought them!

Good

The added height of these Birkenstock’s makes such a difference. They feel more playful and look better when you’re wearing a skirt or dress.

Love em! This platform style does run a bit wider than normal Birks, even in the narrow. But I have a wider foot. It does feel different walking too. But I think after a wear or two, they will be perfect. Very cool Birkenstocks!

Love this shoe. Took it with me to Palm Springs, CA and they were perfect. Arch support...awesome, adjustable width...great. Best walking shoe and everything else..including running in the airport! Worth every penny!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Higher Platform..I have worn their Catalina platform for years. I use them as my indoor shoe for keeping the dreaded plantar problems away. They are not real pretty, but in a Frankenstein kinda of way, think they are quite adorable now. I had tried a pair in my size 10, but found them too big and went with the 9 now.I do not have good luck wearing the thinner soled Birks for whatever reason, so I may just order extra pair to wear OUTSIDE now too and to have on hand, in case they stop making the platforms. More COLORS would be great?

Size, fit and style great. But very uncomfortable. Not like a usual birkenstock style. Maybe the thicker sole? Returning.

These shoes are so rigid they hurt my feet, no flex whatsoever. I ordered white, and with the white sole they looked like I was wearing a post-surgical boot.

I wanted to like these shoes. I ordered them in my favorite color. But their narrow width is uncomfortable on my medium width feet. They are also very stiff. The foot bed isn't soft. Sadly, I'm returning them.

I absolutely hate that I’m having to return this item. The style is SO cute, and I love the higher footbed. It’s even a great fit in terms of width, which can be hard for me to find for such narrow feet. But... they are unreasonably uncomfortable. No amount of a break in time will soften these up for comfortable use. - It’s unfortunate. I’ll pass on these and turn back to my favorite Arizona with the soft footbed.

Terribly uncomfortable. As cute as these are it's not worth wearing at all!

I’ve worn Birkenstocks for years. Have a pair of Milano Oiled leather, and couple pairs Mayari one silver and one patent black w/red interior, and Arizona pair. I got these in the Pink from Birkenstock website directly. The sandal itself was true to size as always while I am a 9, I wear a 39 in Birkenstocks, a Narrow in Milanos, but a Regular or Narrow in Mayari. So these fit my foot size well. HOWEVER, the straps were unexpectedly sharp and placement caused major irritation/rubbing and cut the top of both feet in the inner top of arch on feet. Needless to say I loved the walking but couldn’t wear. Now both feet have a bandaid as if I was in HS all over again. They were packed up and returned. I will stick to my tried and true styles in the Birkenstocks.

Nasty! I can see a set of toe imprints on my NEW shoes...

Item came damaged..metallic was scratched and chipping on leather and buckle

I have been wearing Birkenstocks for years, this is not a true Birkenstock, it is not made by them and you can tell immediately. Very wide, straps fir poorly across the foot, very sloppy fit. So misleading, they are not the original product! They should not be listed as Birkenstocks!

Love these shoes. They are so comfortable. I graduated to them from an orthopedic for a fractured tow and they’ve been great.

as expected
