So beautiful, but my regular size was simply too small. Size up!

the sandal did not look good on my foot and my foot slid forward so the arch was off.

The fit and size fit off in this style compared to other Birks. The footbed feels off and narrow in the heel, therefore not as comfortable. It also is making the fart noise when tried on. Cant take the chance of breaking in and then it doesn't resolve for the price of the shoe. Love the look but not in love with the foot bed feel. Uncomfortable. Unfortunately, returning for another style.

These are beautiful sandals. The color is just perfect for summer. The big buckle gold is also great. The problem is that the leather is so stiff it would take sandpaper and oil to soften or at least weeks of painful wearing. I am so disappointed that I could not wear right out of the box or even break in. I have several pairs of Birkenstock sandals and shoes and a couple in this style . The sandal runs short too.

For anyone not paying super close attention, these only come in narrow from LL Bean, it says medium width(which I thought was the regular width for Birkenstock) but if you look in the details, it states that this is narrow(I however didn't read that until after they came ;) ). Disappointed as they are too small for my foot, I typically wear a 39 from Birkenstock. They are a super cute sandal though!

Fit and size was ok but the leather was stiff and the footbed was very stiff as well.
I'd also recommend:
Mephisto, Naot and Taos are more comfortable.

Did not like the shiny gold buckles. This style does not fit as well as the Mayrai style.

I love the looks of these big buckle sandals, but the footbed is hard and slippery. The straps are extremely stiff. I'm sending them back and am going to go with the regular Arizona sandal. This is the second pair of big buckles I've returned.

I'm going to stick with the traditional Birkenstock Arizona.

I can't really comment too much on the comfort/support because I can't wear them because they are too big! But I know from past experience that the Arizona sandals are very comfortable. I didn't care for the pink and the buckles are kind of cheap-feeling and looking. I'm returning them.

I unfortunately must return these. First, they are listed as narrow yet seem bigger than a regular 39, even at the tightest setting. But the big problem is the footbed. I don't understand how anyone who has experienced a classic Birkenstock cork footbed could think these are comfortable. The footbed in these feels like plastic. It also feels warm, while a cork footbed feels cool. I just know that these will not feel good during a hot southern summer. They look cute, but that's about all they have going for them.

I am a a Birkenstock lover for quality and comfort! These are a major disappointment for me. The footbed is plastic rather than cork like original Birkenstock sandals. The buckles are plastic and appear cheap. For the cost of these sandals I expected a lot more.

Loved the arizona big buckle but it is really a narrow. Unfortunately had to return. Wish they would make these in regular width.

like the birkenstock but narrow/medium is just a narrow and doesn't fit. I don't have wide feet but

I wanted to love these sandals but couldn't. They fit OK and they looked pretty nice. BUT...the sole is leather. Which means that the sole gets moist from your foot, which means that every time your foot moves against the sole it makes an embarrassing fart sound. You know what I mean, the suction kind of sound. I ended up returning these for a pair with a suede sole and it made all the difference- now I can really see why everyone loves Birks.

They are very cute and I love they way they look, but the footbed is not cork like other Birkenstocks that I have, so when I walk there is a suction and it sounds like my foot is farting. Not sure why they would change the footbed - such a shame so I am returning them.

I have many pairs of birks and wanted to love these. Birks in general are hard to break in but then are great. I purchased these over 1.5 months ago and they still aren't broken in. The material used in the shoe bed has no give and is extremely uncomfortable. These shoes caused a bunion that has lain dormant for 15 years to rage back at me. If I could return them, I would.

These Birks are adorable, but they seem very low quality and fit horribly. They are the same size as other Birks that I own, and the footbed appears to look the same, but they just do not have the same shape and contour to my foot. Perhaps they need adjusted, or perhaps they are a cheap knockoff. I’m pretty disappointed.

Would be great for regular width feet. Was hoping this would work for me, but it was definitely way too narrow for my wider feet. Didn't feel uncomfortable at first, but wearing and walking around the house for a hour or so, there was a lot of pressure on a bunion which then hurt for days after. Too bad because I really love the bigger buckle. Hope it's available in the wider sole soon.

They are very stiff and whole they are comfortable to put in, walking in then is not comfortable because of how stiff they are. They actually gave me a bruise on the side of my foot toward my ankle. Not happy with these at all. I don’t want to have to break in $150 shoes.

I love Birkenstocks, and typically wear a size 40. I found that in this style, size 41 was similar to the length of my other size 40s. I wanted to love these - I love the look of the big gold buckles. However, the area where my toes go is MUCH shorter than all of my other Birkenstocks (and my others are a size smaller!). The toe ridge hit halfway under my big toe - an issue I've never had with any other Birks. Definitely disappointed with this style.

Cheap looking. Plastic buckles. Not worth the price tag. I love Birkenstock’s, but not these. Returning.
