Customer Reviews Birkenstock Papillio by Birkenstock Arizona Platform Sandal

I wear an 8.5 and received a 39, which fit perfectly. The sole felt stiffer than my usual soft soled Birks that I own but wasn’t uncomfortable. I returned bc I wasn’t a fan of the platform and ordered a regular pair of Arizonas instead.

Love the look of the shoes. With the additional height, this style looks dressier than your normal birks. The width takes some getting used to. While the shoes aren't tight, they do fit more snugly than the normal width. The footbed is still soft and comfy but the width makes it feel as if you're not quite wearing birks. I'm not sure if this style comes in the normal width or only in the narrow. The strap material is also pretty stiff but I'm sure it will be more pliable as I break the shoes in. Overall, pretty satisfied. Very beautiful pair of birks for those of you who want something different than normal Arizonas.

Fits true to size - I'm a 7.5 (or an 8 in running shoes), and I usually order a size 38 euro - these 38s fit as expected. I have a slightly wide toe bed and this shoe fits me just fine. A little stiff just like normal birks at first, but I like the platform.

These shoes are really cute and give me more height than the typical flat Birki. They are slightly less comfortable, probably because of the extra height. I did have to do an exchange because I wear a 7. The size offered is listed as 7-7.5 These were a full size too big. I reordered with a 6.

Very cute, but HUGE! I wear a 6-6.5, and ordered a 37, and they are massive! I would even say they are a size and a half larger (like wearing my husbands shoes!!) The sole felt comfortable, and they also felt wide, even though they are narrow(??) but it could be due to the fact they were too big! So exchanging and we'll see how they go!

When placing my order, I selected my size thinking it would be medium width. I did not notice the shoe only comes in narrow, or so it seems. Confusing. Annoying. Otherwise, cute shoe. Wish I could have gotten the medium width.

They scratch very easily. They are very hard and not comfortable. Do not compare these to the flat Birkenstock’s. They are nothing alike. Very cute and stylish though

I found these to super cute, but I am not willing to endure the break in period.

Even though previous reviewers stated they are very comfortable, I have to say they are not! They are very hard and the form doesn’t accommodate to your feet. I will keep them since I’m to lazy to return stuff, but is not one of the best purchases I made so far!

Super cute, but these were true to Birkenstock size for me. Reviews said to size down and they were too small. I would have ordered my size, but I felt like the metallic painted leather was too stiff for me and combined with the reduced flexibility of the platform, the shoes might give my feet problems (I have plantar fasciitis).

I am going to keep them as I like them, but they would not be comfortable to walk very much in as they are kind of like "Frankenstein."

While size etc was correct, the metallic leather is very stiff, unforgivingly so, and cut into my foot. So stiff I couldn't even adjust buckle to make them snugger. So unfortunately back they go.

The buckle of these shoes digs in to my foot in a very painful place. Not sure how it would fit other people, but these are not the easy comfortable summer shoes I was hoping for.

I was so excited to get these but unfortunately right out of the box the silver straps are all scuffed up. I ordered my normal size and these where too big for me also the little toe support thing was just in a weird spot with these shoes. I really wanted to love them :/

My foot is very narrow 8 1/2 AA or maybe AAA. Other Birkenstocks have fit in the past; however, this one did not. It is not attractive on my narrow foot. I am returning it.
