Will keep because ultimately they’re adorable. BUT. The fit is off because they were only offered in narrow. I ordered a size up and they are a tight squeeze and fit toe-to-heel with zero leeway. The plastic-y/leather? footbed make an embarrassing toot noise when I first walked in them!! So I installed the soft side of Velcro all along the insole as per the Internet suggested...and it did help, but they still “smack” and that’s with impeccably clean and dry feet I assure you! So. After the Velcro and wearing them around with super thick socks to break them in for about a week...I suppose I will keep them because, again, they’re way cute. Albeit, quite high maintenance for a Birkenstock.

I did not like the white lining on top of the foot bed. It squeaked as I walked. I prefer the traditional Birkenstock liner. Too bad because I liked the style a lot!

These would be wonderful if they didn’t scrape the skin off my toes.

Wanted to love them-they are very cute- but leather straps are so stiff -I know they will take a long time to soften up- so I returned them

Would give 5 stars across the board, BUT this pair arrived with a significant scuff mark on the buckle. I love all of my Birkenstocks, they are the most comfortable shoe ever and I was really looking forward to these pink big buckle sandals. Sooooo disappointed. ??

I love Birkenstock, have bought many pair, and will continue to buy them. But... these were awful. The leather was not the quality of normal Birkenstock’s and the straps were extremely stiff and sharp on the edges. Additionally, the buckles looked so cheap! I could have sworn they were plastic.

These Birkenstocks are not like any of the many Birks I've owned and loved. They were very narrow without the wider toe box. They also had a plastic type footbed instead of the usual leather. The footbed did not have the comfort or fit of all my other Birks. It did not come anywhere near the support or fit. I was so very disappointed in these. I hope to find some true Birks soon with the wide buckles.

I love the style of this shoe and having to send them back made me very sad but even on the last hole, the shoes were too narrow . I could have added extra holes (the straps are long enough) but I didn’t want to experiment on $150 shoes and not be able to return them. I do have full feet and a high arch but they aren’t particularly wide so the traditional Arizona even on the Narrow width fit fine. Like a few others, having only the more feminine styles in narrow only is a bit of a bummer.

I’ve purchased many Birks over the years and I think this pair is my favorite. The big gold buckles really elevate the look of these. I wish all Birks had the option of gold buckles to match jewelry. The only drawback with these is the inside is a little rougher on top of the foot I have a couple red spots. Hoping that goes away the more I wear them.

They are so comfortable, and I love the “big buckle” look. I’ve had these quite a while now, and they’ve held up very well. Normally when my feet hurt, I want to take off my shoes. Now, when my feet hurt, I want to put on my birks! They’re THAT comfortable. I’m sold on Birkenstocks, I’ll probably never NOT own at least one pair!

I usually can only wear the Myari in Birdenstock because the 2 strap sandals tend to be too large on my feet. These sandals, however, do fit me despite the large strap and buckes. I thought the large buckles would end up being overwhelming on smaller feet, but they are not. the look is classy and dressier. This leather is stiff at first but loosens up quickly, so do not let that deter you. As always, in Birkenstock, I always am a full size and a half smaller than my normal size. My normal size is 8.5 and I always purchase a size 38 EU (or size 7 USA) in Birkenstock. Perfect fit with still some length available.

I purchased these sandals for my daughter. She felt the arch didn't fit at the right spot and was uncomfortable.

Love the big buckle style. Shoes are very comfortable. Was surprised that I needed a narrow since I usually have too wide a foot for women's sandals

I have many pairs of Birkinstocks and these were out of the box my absolute favorite. The leather is a teensy bit stiff at first, but that goes away quickly and there is something weirdly magical about the smooth leather footbed on this particular model. They instantly mold to your feet and feel glorious in a way that the brushed footbed just doesn't. I was concerned that they would look silly with the huge buckles, but they're kind of awesome. I was concerned because everywhere I saw them in store, it was only the narrow version that was offered (which probably would have been ok), but the regular is best for warm days. The antique cognac color looks great with just about any skin color!

Wearing an 11 1/2 shoe is very challenging. They are so few stylish shoes that fit. These are comfortable and have style.

I love these I now have a pair in black and white. I got narrow as I heard they ran wide and they are perfect. Love the big buckles and they are not plastic like someone else said in a review.

Really nice looking, basically dress up Birks :-) Comfortable out of the box but not as soft as the "soft footbed" Birks but still great. Size as you would normally wear.
