Customer Reviews Birkenstock Yao

This was a new style I didn’t have, so I thought I’d try them. They are so comfortable & fit great. Loved them so much that I bought 2 pairs in different colors. Thank you!!!

Perfect!! Exchanged a couple, due to my foot issues. This one though, LOVE!!

Always like my berkies. These did not disappoint

I should have taken heed to the other reviewer that said these were more of a flip flop than a sturdier (for lack of better word) Birkenstock. They flipped and they flopped on me unfortunately. I love the looks of them and hate to return them but I don’t need an expensive pair of flip flops.

Love this shoe style. It's the 3rd one I have ordered. I wear them every day, so comfy.

I consider these shoes to be cuter than a lot of Birkenstock styles. But the way they are cut made them floppy on my foot, I need a strap closer to the arch that will hold my foot in place better. For that reason, I will be returning these.

I ordered a medium and later saw a note that the Narrow was the same as a medium. It is not. I need a wide shoe and Birkenstock’s are typically wide if available in Medium. All your styles that are marked Narrow are most definitely narrow. Waste of time with the back and forth shipping.

doesn’t feel secure on my foot, more like a flip flop, because the straps are closer to the toes than the Arizona

So unlike most Birkenstocks that I’ve seen, the leather on these is not just solid leather. It’s a very thin layer of leather over some synthetic material. Seems pretty cheap and shitty for the same price as actual leather Birkenstocks. I kept them because I like the style but they’re probably not worth the price, I can’t imagine them holding up. Also whatever the synthetic material is gets pilly and since mine are black, it’s super noticeable.. little white pilly things.

way to narrow. I wear them all the time and I could not wear these.

I think I own 5 pair. Some are tucked away for the future. These are my bedroom slippers, house shoes, and out & about sandals. Love Birks, but these especially because the straps and sole are thinner. Very feminine!

My go to sandals. Wear them almost daily. Own four different colors. The best!!!

I love Birkenstock and if you know your European #, the shoes always fit....

Will be comfy once we get the right sizes. Ordered for myself and daughter in our regular shoe sizes and both of us found the shoes too large by a size or two.

Overall good.

I haven't noticed a change in the fit of Birkenstock over the past 50 years, or the quality of the leather models. The Yao is a good style for those of us who have narrower feet; very comfortable.

I love these sandals…they are comfortable and stylish.

At first I was hesitant to buy these sandals because they are not leather, and I rely on the leather to stretch and adjust to my super wide feet. The buckles on these sandals took care of that. I needn't have worried. If your feet are wide - get the regular width. If your feet are narrow - get narrow (your feet will swim in the regular width). If these are your first Birkenstocks, these are like molding an orthotic to your foot. The sandal will feel rock hard at first. It will take time breaking them in

Loved this style and the comfort of birkenstock overall. I ordered a 4-4.5, N in this style because I have another which I enjoy and fit very well. Several reviews stated these run more narrow so I took a chance on the change in style. The N was too wide for my foot at the tightest position of the adjustable strap. Disappointed but had to return. The return pplicy and refund process with Zappos is the absolute best!

I've been wearing Birkenstocks since 1975, still have them and still love them. I thought it was time to get new Birks, and these are great!

I have been wearing Birkenstocks since 1973 and this pair is a nice addition to my “collection”. Comfortable and stylish. I like the black ones so much I also bought them in the cafe color! Great basics for summer wear.

Great sandal! I love wearing them around the house because they're easy to slip on and off.

Fit great & extremely comfortable!

Fit and sizing great. The support under the ball of my foot is amazing. After working in retail in uncomfortable shoes I put these on after my shift for immediate relief. Too bad I can't wear them at work!! Very comfortable.
