Customer Reviews Birkenstock Esra

I wanted to love these too, but way too narrow! I know they say narrow width, but for birkenstocks I would think they would make the regular width too. Very cute and stylish and bought my typical size 38, but they even felt smaller than normal. I need more arch support for any shoe I wear due to plantar faciaitis, so Birkenstocks are typically a pretty safe bet for me. I ended up returning these though.

I wanted to love these shoes, but no. They are comfortable, and from the side they look quite graceful. Unfortunately, from the front I alternately looked like a cave woman, or a duck. It's strange because I wear the Boston's and love the way they look, and they are even wider. I suspect it's because I wanted to wear the Esra in slightly nicer circumstances, but they just don't work with those clothes for me. Have to return.

Not the most attractive shoe ever but I thought I'd give them a try. I found them to be difficult to walk in... like the arch support was too much and the front of my foot fell off a cliff. I think its the same sole as the Birkenstock Debby - a wedge slide which I wore for a season and then gave away. I LOVE the Birkenstock Papilio Linnea sandal and I hope they use that footbed/sole to create more shoes.

I bought these shoes and THEN saw the narrow fit information. I was panicking because I am not a narrow foot and suddenly there were shoes coming to my house I might not be able to wear. Well when they arrived and I tried them on I was pleased to find they fit just fine. I just love them. They are very comfy as well.

The look of these may not be for everyone. I call them my "mullet shoes." Business in the front, party in the back. I really like that they are a good transitional shoe, and that I can wear them to work. They are definitely heavy-looking but the fit is super light. I also love that they are available in narrow.

True to size and width. Very comfortable with good arch support. They are very cute for a birkenstock. I would get another pair if they were offered in another color. Dress up or down, the look is cute. Nice room in the toe box. I have problem feet and needed a nice sandal that was closed in, and they fit the bill great.

I love this shoe, but am concerned with the narrow heel that my weak ankles will turn, so had to return.

Love these shoes. They’re practical and comfortable with a little bit of extra style. My only complaint is that the soles are thin for Birkenstocks, so I wore through the rubber & into the cork pretty fast. Need to lock down a Birkenstock-friendly cobbler ASAP.

These are so cute and comfy but HUGE. Literally an inch too long. I'm a 6.5/7 and bought these in my usual size, 37, which Birkenstock lists as 6/6.5, and they don't fit. I can wear them if I tighten the ankle strap and they are comfortable that way, but they look ridiculous with the extra inch of footbed behind my heel. I'll try a smaller size.

These run really wide for a narrow. In fact, they are much wider than a lot of medium width shoes I’ve tried.

Cute but feel kinda light for the heavy price

My feet are a tad wide. Ordered 1/2 size larger, fit perfectly. Loved them. This is a 3rd pair purchase. ??

This says it’s narrow and I’m medium but it fits perfectly! Really loving this shoe.

High heeled Birkenstock’s. Been looking for these for 30 years. Wear Birkenstock’s and cowboy boots only. Love them.

Very cute. Very comfortable. I have a job on my feet and the support transfers the weight away from the ball of my foot which is awesome. They aren’t Birkenstock brand but still cute and comfortable. Very happy with this purchase.

Comfortable and stylish wedge heel that’s great for work and conferences. I routinely receive lots of compliments when I wear these shoes to work. They look great with skinny jeans, skirts, and shorts.

I normally wear a size 9 (or 40 in European sizing). However in the Birkenstock papillo, my size is 39, consistently, including these shoes. I have medium to narrow feet, and these shoes are definitely not narrow. I would say regular (to maybe slightly wide). They look fairly wide but I still really like the comfort and look overall.

Great fit

I love Birkenstocks and don't think I will be disappointed in these. I ordered the 41 since I am a 10 and they fit as expected with some extra room at the end. I will say that I do not find these to really me a narrow fit, but would not be idea for those with wider feet. I cannot wait to break them in! Height is just enough to be dressy-casual and they look great with skinny jeans.

Love the simple style

These were comfortable right out of the box. Bought the size I usually wear and they fit perfect. Has a nice arch support. These run a little narrow through the mid-foot area compared to the usual Birkenstocks, but still fit. If your foot runs a little wide, these may not be for you.

I bought these for a conference that involved a lot of walking, I don't normally wear much of a heel, but they were quite comfortable. I also got a lot of compliments on them, including from my husband who never compliments me on my "comfortable" shoes. I ended up ordering them in another color.

I love Birkenstocks. I have probably 10 pair and have worn a size 37 in Birkenstocks for the 30 years I have been wearing them. I ordered the Ersa I thought it was a beautiful shoe and a Birkenstock so how could I go wrong. Unfortunately they were too small, my toes were crunched in. I guess it's the heel. I loved the shoe and tried to order a 38 but Zappos was out.

Like the style and wish it fit

I wanted to like this shoe but it wasn't as comfortable as other birks due to the straps and I assume the heaviness from the heel. They have the same clunky look that other birks have which didn't look as dressy as I hoped. I ended up returning them.
