Customer Reviews Birkenstock Bakki

I bought these to use as slippers this winter after wearing mayari sandals all summer. I wear a 40 birkenstock sandal but ordered a 41 in these shoes. They fit perfectly. I wear them without socks. No problem getting my foot into the shoes even though some other reviewers noted this. The footbed though is not the same as the birkenstock sandals, no toe grips so they took some getting used too. Once I wore them for an hour, I didn’t want to take them off.

I had ordered a 41 by mistake, instead of my usual size 40 (9- 9 1/2 ). I have high instep & arches and wide feet. Finding shoes that are comfortable and not ugly is a challenge. It was a tad snug getting my left foot through the opening, the right one was ok. I think it'll stretch out some as it's leather. I'll be able to wear socks with these and keep my feet toasty warm. I think the size 40 would have been too snug. Will see if they are stretched out by the end of winter. You can use your own orthotics if needed as the foot bed is removable.

Love this cute shoe. So attractive yet warm. Ideal for my poor feet with Raynaud's and plantar fasciitis. Sure to have warm feet this year without the orthotic shoe look.

I ordered the Baaki in my normal size 38. When I received them they were very snug in the toe are and the instep was tight where the seams sew the sides to the top. I returned for next size up hoping it would be better. But it was still the same. Too cramped feeling in toe snd instep very tight. I may have a high instep so The shoe may work for others. They were a quality boot, I wish they would have fit.

I purchase in size 37 (US 6) and size 38 (US 7); I always wear a 37 in Birkenstock. I don't like the narrow, as I they are too narrow. I kept the 37 because they fit as they should; the 38 being too long. The footbed is not like the sandal as they are missing the toe-bar and are not a padded under the front of the foot. Nonetheless, I find them comfortable and supportive in the arch area. The shearling is real; not synthetic; the entire boot is lined with it, except the footbed - that is leather. I have read that people are having problems slipping them on, as they are narrow through the opening. I have a high instep, but what I do is flip the top of the boot up, so the shearing is toward the foot. I make sure to untie the laces, then pull the boot on while holding onto the top of the back of the boot and the top of the tongue of the boot simultaneously. Then, I tie them and flip the upper part and tongue back down so the shearing shows again.

The boot is a nice alternative to the "competitor's" winter boot. They do not make your feet look huge. I purchased a sz 9 (40) in the blue shade. I have a high arch and found the boot both comfortable and rather easy to get on. The boot will stretch and become easier to put on. I know this because I tried on the display and it was easier to put on due to it being tried on multiple times. I tried the 41 and it was much too long and wide. If you like more wiggle room or prefer thick socks, you should go up a size. I would recommend this shoe.

I have been wearing my Mayari Birkenstocks all summer and loving them. The thought of not being able to wear them in the winter was a concern. When I discovered the Bakki, I was SO thrilled. Here's a solution. The shoe is well-made, the lambswool is soft and it looks like a quality shoe. Unfortunately, I wish I listened to the reviewer who warned these are not for people with high arches. I wasn't able to even get my foot in the shoe because the shoe opening is too small. Too bad.

I absolutely love love LOVE these boots. They came in the mail the day before leaving for Door County; I put them on and didn't take them off (except for bed) for five days. Hiked in them, shopped in them, went out to dinner in them. I didn't wear socks, the fleece is so warm and comfy (although I will be wearing socks once it's winter); got compliments on them!

Soles were very firm not like most Birkenstock sandals

Little loose in the heel but being able to tighten them makes them okay to wear.

I have 8 pairs of Birkenstocks—all size 40. I had to return my my first order of these boots for a 41. LOVE these boots! Very comfortable right out of the box. It’s great that they can be worn folded down or popped up. Perfect for cooler temperatures. Very happy with these!

fit and size as expected, I love my new birkis can't wait for the cold weather

I suffer with hallux limitus in my left foot and as a result I can only wear the Birkenstock sandals. I normally wear a 38 narrow but ordered a 39 regular in these, which fit perfect. I wanted a warm boot and loved the style and warmth of the Bakki, but the footbed in this boot is not the same and was a disappointment. (Not comfortable to walk in ) Also the shoe lace in this shoe has only one eye at the ankle level which is uncomfortable as the lace should've started down lower. Too bad they have to go back.

I have a high arch so I was worried my foot wouldn't fit into this shoe, as others had experienced. I didn't have a problem and they seem extremely comfortable, though I haven't worn outside yet. I'm a size 7 and the 37s are perfect for me. The arch support is moderate and only time will tell if it feels like other B's I've worn.

I could not get my foot into the shoe. The instep was too small and stitched down making it impossible to put these on. They are adorable and look really warm.

I couldn't get my foot into the boot and the insole is not the traditional B footbed. Cute look but strange sizing.

Heavy and clunky. Hard sole. I sent these back
