I love the shoesbut the metallic leather scratches really easy and after less than a month they have huge scratches all over the sides and tops of the straps. I was at the airport and had a rolling carry on by my foot and just waiting in line I noticed that anything that touches it scratches it. They are still comfortable but they look awful. The shinyness makes you notice it even more.

I was skeptical after reading the reviews but these Birkenstocks are awesome! The color is as pictured - a bright metallic silver. I have wide feet but the narrow width was perfect! I wore them, non-stop, for four straight days in Disneyland my feet were in heaven! I highly recommend them!

I bought these violet as well as the turquoise green Arizonas not because I need them at all, but to go with my hot pink, red, silver, copper, anthracite, gold pebble metallics. However I too am very sorry there's no choice for the Regular width. Particularly in the soft foodbed shoe I like the extra room, as well as the more pronounced arch support the Regular provides. I wear both Regular and Narrow to vary the experience for my feet. The change feels like putting on a different kind of shoe. Since the adjustable straps make a custom fit possible for everyone, I see no reason to restrict choice. I buy Birkenstocks precisely to let my feet relax (neuropathy issue in the soles) and I want wide, please.

The leather straps or no where near as comfortable as the suede version. They are super stiff and will take time to soften up. That said, super cute shoe, so I will wear my bandaids until they soften up.

I wear a 6.5 and had to get a full size smaller than size chart recommended.

This is my first pair of Birkenstock sandals. Needless to say, I love them!! The fit is excellent. The color is awesome. The leather is superior. I love them so much I am going to buy a pair for my husband a couple more pairs for myself!

I love the look, never was able to wear Birkenstoks because too wide and the hard footbed. So happy to get these softfootbed narrow width ones. I haven't worn them off the carpet yet because I am not totally sure about them. I have problem feet and the leather is rather stiff, so hoping it will soften up because they are too cute!

I really wanted to love these sandals but unfortunately, the part where the buckle is rubbed my toe raw and I wasn't able to wear these .=( They felt very sturdy and had ok arch support. I loved the design but didn't work out for me.

Ordered a size 9. I wish they did half sizes, but the fit was ok. The issue that caused me to return them was the buckle rubbing on my toe as well as the footbed. The buckle closest to the toes, protrudes exactly where my toes bend when taking a step. If left on for long periods of time, I'm sure ti would have cause a blister. The footbed is nice, but somehow it ended up feeling like sandpaper. The soles of my feet were rubbed raw and this was barely wearing them. I really was upset as the shoes are so cute.

I am between a 7 1/2 and 8 and I had to return the 38 for a 39, which ended up fitting perfectly, so size up if you are between these sizes. This is the first pair of Birks I have owned. They weren't super comfortable right out of the box, but after wearing them for a few hours around the house, they feel pretty good. The silver bling aspect is great too!

Excellent arch support. I recommend using Birkenstock.com to size your width as their regular/wide vs narrow is not compatible with Zappos sizing search functions. These have alleviated my symptoms of plantar fasciitis and are so comfortable. I wish Birkenstock offered more styles and color options with the soft footbed feature as their regular footbed is too harsh and difficult to break in. This footbed is very supportive and comfortable. I highly recommend.

This is my second pair in this style and color but I opted to try the narrow which fit my foot much better. I have noticed Birk’s metallic leathers (the silver and rose gold) seem to take a bit longer to “break in” but once they do, they are super comfortable. The leather straps can be a bit stiff but soften after a week or so of daily wear. Love this sandal!

I bought these over the summer and never took them off. So so comfortable, I have a bad toe and the support these give made for a more pleasant summer for sure. The metallic silver is so cool and stylish also.

Love these shoes. My only complaint is that the cork split where my toes bend, but I think that’s just the nature of cork soles and I can still wear them. The metallic coloring is also wearing away in some spots but that is after 2 years of wearing them every other day in the summer. Those things, aside they are very comfortable even when wearing all day.

I really like this shoe, however it took three tries to get the proper fit. I wear an 8 1/2 medium, so first ordered an 8 1/2 regular (size 39); it was too large. An 8 1/2 narrow was too small. Finally the 9 Narrow (size 40) was just right. I really appreciate Zappo's return process which is very easy and convenient.

So many compliments on these! I’m a big fan of the soft footbed, it’s all I buy these days. The leather does show some scratches/marks, but it doesn’t affect the look. Get them!

I recently had foot surgery and needed something cute for the summer. These are definitely cute and VERY comfortable. The soft footbed feels great and the arch support is perfect.

Awesome sandals. They are a bit stiffer than my plain leather birks. And they are super reflective in the sunshine, but the style + comfort is so worth it. Love them and get tons of compliments.

My normal size 40 regular fit perfectly. The straps are stiff, so make sure they are loose and you can get a finger between the strap and your foot. I know they will scratch, so I'll just try to be careful, and then chalk it up to "patina."

Love these birks! I ordered the metallic silver and they are to die for! So cute and of course provide excellent comfort and arch support.
