These were a gerat fit and I liked the Olive color straps. I was debating between these and the Granadas, in the end the Granadas won out, but these were a close 2nd. They are a nice twist on the traditional Birkenstock.

These are so cute and stylish and comfortable. They take a little getting used to with the fact that they are a true slide and do not go up around the ankles. But overall, I love them and I especially love the color.

Really pretty! Not quite sure how I feel about the white sole of the sandal. I've always preferred something that blends better like brown or black. Never have been a fan of white.

Love these slides! These are my first Birkenstocks but I am in love! I read a lot of reviews about breaking them in so I knew they would be stiff out the box. I love that these are more feminine than normal Birkenstocks.

This is my 1st pair of Birkenstocks. I'm having a lot of trouble with my feet, so I thought I'd try a pair. They're actually pretty cute-- I bought the black patent.

Just right. First time buyer. I could never find the style for me until Yao came along. These are very comfortable sandals, you can not go wrong with them.

Once you get through breaking in (I got a blister on each foot), they are amazing! The Pink is super cute and I have already received lots of compliments! Highly recommend!

BIRKENSTOCK...that says it all. Quality, quality, quality. These shoes are great and live up to the Birkenstock name.

I really love these. The sole is not as cushy as the non vegan Birkenstocks, but they are still comfy and they are super cute. They are very pretty on though and do fit true to size.

I wear 8.5 M normally and the 39 narrow is a perfect fit. The footbed feels secure and the buckles are on the second to tightest holes. The black looks very stylish especially if you are exposing a brightly polished pedicure.

This is my latest pair of Birkenstocks, and I love that they are so pretty. The footbed feels a little different from how my other pairs felt when I first bought them. I hope these break in as well.

This particular shoe ran just a little smaller than my other Birkenstock shoes. I had to go up a size. Love them.

Comfort and style in a narrow width.....I’m loving it! Fits my narrow foot and the straps adjust so all the better!

I normally wear 7-7.5 and the 37 fit perfectly. I’m so so happy I decided on the black patent! I’m not too much of a granola girl, and these are the perfect blend of dressy and hippie.

These are so special. Just received but I know they will be the cause of many compliments once they make their debut. Long story short, I love them. Birkenstocks often look so bulky on my feet, but these look stylish and even feminine. The rose gold buckles are beautiful. Not too blingy but certainly a step up from the typical metal Birkenstock buckle.

I ordered up a 39 like I had before. Got them narrow width which was new to me. Ended up with a 40 Narrow and they feel better than ever before. I used the sizer in the lid of the box. It was exactly right.

I bought the narrow and it was great for me! I have never own Birks because they are so wide. Also love that this style is more feminine.

Ordered in white and found the shoe quite attractive. With foot issues, I need a more secure fit in the heel. The placement of the straps do not give as secure a fit such as I find in Mayari. Sadly I am returning it.

a bit long but otherwise terrific. I have average width feet with a bunion on my right big toe. alway wore regular width burks but tried the narrow and it is much better. no Fred Flintstone effect at all. Also gotta say the customer service at Zappos is stellar

I am typically a 7.5 and ordered both the Yao and the Granada styles in a size 38 Narrow. The Granada fit perfectly, but the Yao was too big - I definitely would have needed a 37 in order for my foot to properly fit to the built-in toe ridge and arch support. Other than that, the shoe was cute but I still preferred the style of the Granada (a bit more casual).
