Birks are my favorite shoe! Because of the platform these are a bit more still then regular Birks and take some time to wear in. They are my got to shoes all summer!

I love this Birk!!! My mom bought them for me for my birthday! I had to size up thought Used to be a 37 but my feet must have grown as I'm now a 38. They are so cute with a dress or casual style of clothing and they are so comfortable. There is not as much bend when you walk as they are more of a platform-style so know that you will be walking a bit stiff footed so it may take a minute to get used to.

Runs slightly narrow. But it suits my narrow flat feel well. Requires some breaking in, but beautiful color, with just the right amount of height

I haven’t had a new pair of Birks in years and I’m glad I went with these! They’ve got the classic Arizona comfort and the metallic copper straps add a little fun. I’m also pleased with the platform - it doesn’t impact the comfort of the footbed or feel heavy at all. I did not have the same issues with the width that others described, but since this is the first pair of new Birkenstocks I’ve worn in something like 15 years, I can’t say if they’re more narrow than other current styles. The only drawback, why I give them 3 stars for style, is that the metallic material shows even the smallest defects or scuffs. I think they might start to look worn faster than other materials.

It's very hard to find narrow width in size 10 or 11, these are SO comfortable

I ordered more than a dozen different Birkenstocks thinking the only decision to make was narrow versus wide width because I am a solid 37/ 6.5 size. I was so frustrated that I finally researched how to properly fit a Birkenstock. That’s when I decided to try a size 36 which is supposedly a 5- 51/2. It fit!
As to these beautiful pair, I recommend them because they are gorgeous and comfortable. I have them in narrow even though I always prefer a wide toe box. The only reason I gave them 4 stars for comfort is because they are a bit stiff right out of the box. I expect they will soften up.

I have come down with plantar facetious and these are great. They have the arch support I need but not a hard a bottom as my other Birkenstock's. I love the metallic gold color. They go with everything.

These shoes fit perfectly for my regular left foot. However, the raised borders of the shoe sole, designed to carefully cradle your foot, were causing grate deal of pain for a bunion on my right foot.

Like with any pair of Birkenstock’s once these are broken in they will form perfectly to my feet. The color and platform are great for spring and summer. Pair with any summer dress or leisure wear.

I love these shoes! They are my new favorite summer sandals. I read the other reviews and sized down one size which is just right for me. They are very large with the platform but I wanted that oversized look. I wear them with everything -shorts, jeans, skirts and dresses.

Love these Birkies! The color is great for summer.They have a little different feel than the lower Birkenstocks,but once I got used to them,they were fine. I did have to put the strap in the last notch for my foot to make it tighter.

Super comfortable (even with the platform), and super cute on! the sizing is a little wacky, however. I'm usually a size 8-8.5 and tend to wear a 38 or 39 in European sizes, and I had to size down to a 37 in these! I suggest trying a size down from your usual, or maybe even 2 if your feet are super narrow like mine!

These shoes are very comfortable and the patent leather gets noticed. The size chart is incorrect. I wear a true size 9 and ordered 40 as the chart stated, and it was too big.

One of my favorites and I own lots of different styles of Birkis. Platform makes it a little edgier than the other styles. I usually wear a 41N in most Birkis but wear a 40 in the Papillio version since they are a bit wider.

Love the sandal but I've had a toe fusion on my left big toe and the toe ridge hit it. On the other foot the sandal felt dreamy. So all you have normal feet should go for it! I gave it three stars instead of five but that's just because of my own issues with my feet.
