I love this style of Birks! I'm a long time Boston fan, but these are a little slimmer and give off a fun retro vibe. Totally adorable with jeans and will be my fall wardrobe go-to.

Love these! Slightly upscale in comparison to the Boston. Wore them 4 days in a row, something I never do with brand new Birks.

I wear a 41 in all other Birks, but had to get a 42 in these. I absolutely love the look of them, but the elastic under to top of the shoe rubbed the top of my foot and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to keep them.

I gave this a try even though I prefer a soft footbed. It's a good shoe. But I'll stick with soft footbeds.

I had to return these and I hated too. These are absolutely some of the cutest Birks ever, but alas Birkenstock has modified their footbed for the the more fashionable styles. It says regular footbed on these but if you hold them sole to sole with say a Boston the shoe is a solid 1 cm narrower and pushing 1.25 cm narrower. So for those of us with a solid D width foot - we are literally being squeezed out of the fashionable Birks. I hope the Boston and Arizona foot beds are still the same. Zappos thanks for all you do - you are the best.

So cute!!! However, they were too wide for my narrow foot so I have to return them. Felt good with a thick sock but didn't like the pink color with socks

Maybe it is the style of shoe, but the recommended size was just too long for me. Otherwise, the shoe was very comfortable. I purchased this in the smooth silver but would like to see this shoe in some other "colors" --and that is not rough suede: Black patent, black, Navy, some sort of taupe.

These were too small and unfortunately Zappos did not have these in a 41. I wanted this style over the Boston because this looks less clunky. Sadly, these were returned.

I should have listened to zappos recommendation regarding size. My other birks seemed too big at a 40. I wear a womens' 9.5 , but these were perfect in 40. Returned the 39's.

I've been spoiled by the Birk's with a soft footbed and can't go back. That's not to say that these aren't comfortable, but my old feet appreciate more cushioning. Also, I like this style, but didn't look good on my long, narrow feet.

Weird little shoes that I love so much! I got the silver-sparkly white ones in my usual size of 37, which fit my size 7.5 moderately wide feet quite well with a little break in. The all suede lining is heavenly (keeps feet dry). The shoe is a little hard (not cushioned). For now, I mostly wear these around the house.

Actually really like the shoes and will re-order but are returning because right and left shoes are different in size. Left shoe is cut differently, much higher on top of foot so dramatically looser than right which fit perfectly. Also, obviously have been returned before as toes are scuffed and tops appear to have had the suede cleaned. Also full of animal hair!

This shoe is so cute! Unfortunately, the fit was wrong. The insole supports hit in the wrong areas of my foot, which made it very uncomfortable. So sad to have to return it.

I really wish this could have been my new favorite shoe. Believe me I tried to make it work.?I have a high arch. The arch support is better than no arch but not by much. I tried putting my Orthoheel in the shoes but it just wasn’t going to work. Tomorrow I will be returning the shoes. I think this shoe would work well for someone with flat to moderate arches.

Really liked the style, but it just lacked the comfortable "feel" of a Birkenstock shoe. After walking around the house in them for a bit, they just do not feel the way a Birkenstock shoe feels. There was an uncomfortable feeling from the underside of the buckle area and I was wearing socks. I'm sure if I had attempted to wear them with bare feet, they would have been irritated by the underside. If it wasn't for that, I probably would have kept the shoes.

I love this shoe….but I willam not able to order this style and other styles in regular. one reason I wear Birkenstock’s is I have a size d foot. if the company continues to not offer regular sizes I will not be able to order any more. I own 14 pairs.

The footbed didn't feel like my other Birkenstocks. I live in Birkenstocks because of the comfort but these just didn't have that comfort. I wanted to love them but was disappointed. The narrow width was not a problem just the comfort of the footbed.

DIsappointed. They are pretty cute, but not quality I’d expect. The sole is still the good Birkenstock design, but the materials all feel cheap. The leather is thin, stiff, and uncomfortable. One shoe has a painful seam where elastic attaches under the buckle. I had a pair of the suede/ shearling version which was much more comfortable—but the shearling soon wore through completely. Thought I’d give it another try for summer but these are very disappointing.

This unlined style is definitely not for the slim foot! I already have the Buckley in narrow with the shearling lining and they are terrific so I was disappointed the unlined version could not be adjusted small enough to work. Sadly, already returned.

Cute shoes, but they didn't have enough arch support or cushion for my feet. I gotten pretty used to the soft footbed Birkenstocks and this shoe is just too firm and flat.

This is a third style of Birkenstock shoes I've purchased that I didn't like. The width of a 38 is same as my other two pairs, but felt wider. After trying them on I didn't like the design. Again, this design may not look well on narrow feet. I chose silver color and the shoes stood out like sun shining. Sorry, I'll stick to other designs.

I ordered an 8 1/2 size shoe in regular width. I do have wide feet, and even with adjusting the buckle on the top of the shoe, it was unfortunately too narrow for my foot. I have to return shoes.

Disappointed in Birkenstock style!
I really wanted these to be my favorite go to shoe, but they won’t be because first off the strap that goes into the buckle does not stay in the buckle it keeps flopping out (I might need to try gluing it in) and I also don’t like the shape of the toe, it’s more pointed on the one side which makes it look lopsided. I really wish I could return these for the money I paid but I have worn them so I guess I will just use them as my in the house expensive slippers!
