Fit is as expected (true to size for other Birkenstock sandals). they are comfortable and stay on well (they are slip-on sandals).

Look really cute with a skirt or flowing pants. I teach in them and although my feet are tired, they aren't as tired as they could be!

My daughter and I both wear the same size, so it fit me, and it will defintely fit her....I remember wearing Birkenstocks as a young adult and now my daughter has fallen in love with them....

Very comfortable, as are all of my Birkenstocks. It took a bit, not long, to get used to the straps not coming as far down on the top of my foot, but didn't keep me from wearing them. Cute too!

I love these Birks. I ordered a regular instead of a narrow and they are a great fit. Some reviews said they’re too much like flip flops, but that’s actually what I love about them. They are like flip flops, but classy, solid, and supportive. They rubbed at first, but I just loosened the top strap and they feel stable and much like my Arizonas. Great price, too.

Love these birkenstocks. I have bunions & the straps hide them and don’t pinch or cause any discomfort. They took about a week to break in, but worth the wait! Will be buying another pair in a different color. I like that they are dressier and more feminine looking than the arizona style.

Happy with purchase. Reviews are accurate in that the straps aren't very high on the foot, so there is more flapping as you walk.

My first new pair of Birks in 10 years ( they do last forever ) and I'm pleased that the foot bed hasn't changed. The strap placement feels very secure on my foot and is less overwhelming than some styles.

I haven’t owned a pair of Birks in probably 25 years. I’ve been missing out! I forgot how comfortable they are. With so many styles to choose from, you can certainly find a pair you like. Yao was it for me! There is a small breaking in period but give them a chance - you won’t regret it!

I was looking for a Birkenstock with a little more style and found it in Yao. Fit is true to size, they’re comfortable and the straps make them more stylish than your average Birk. They could use a bit more arch support but is fine overall. I’m happy with this purchase.

This is my first pair of Birkenstock shoes and I am hooked! I am a true size 8 and was skeptical about the sizing as the (9) threw me off. However, they fit like a glove and are very stylish and comfortable. The straps are adjustable for a perfect and comfortable fit for a narrow or medium width foot. I highly recommend these sandals!

I normally wear a narrow shoe, and this fit perfectly. Most sandels are medium but to find one for a narrow foot is very rare.

These were actually narrow enough for my narrow, flat feet. Unfortunately, the ridges on the insoles hit my feet in the wrong spots. Had to return them.

I preferred these to the Madrid Slip-on, which I also tried. The fit was perfect, and I just felt they would stay on my feet more securely.

I really knew right away that this was a perfect choice and I chose this style of the 3 Birkies I ordered. Really can't afford all 3 right now, so I appreciate the easy return on the other 2. (One was a bit too short for my big toe on 1 foot.)
