I always wear Arizona Birks. These bring me to a dressier level when I wear jeans or a boho skirt or dress.

Mostly Birkenstock everyday.

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

These are so beautiful! I took advice of other reviews and sized down. The buckle hurt a bit the first day but are breaking in quickly.

These are my first Birkenstock’s and I love them! I have suffered with PF so I need a supportive, comfortable footbed. They fit perfectly right out of the box with no breaking in needed.

These shoes are great. Comfortable and cute. The only downfall is that the ankle straps were two drastically different lengths. One fit perfectly and the other was so short that I couldn’t buckle them even on the last hole. I liked the shoes so I ended up having to punch an extra hole in the strap so I could buckle them.

These are cute and very comfortable. I wear Birkenstocks all the time but I wanted something dressier. These have good arch support and a nice heel cup just like the flat styles, with a bit of height for style. If they ever wear out I'll purchase them again.

I have a narrow foot and it’s extremely hard to find a sandal that my foot doesn’t flop around in so, these fit like a glove, are extremely comfortable and they literally go with everything. Love this brand and crazy about these sandals. I will wear them every season.

I bought a similar pair last winter (with the closed toe) and I knew I was going to buy this pair based on the comfort of the other pair. Honestly, none of my Birks have had the buckles prior to this pair. I’d heard that the buckles are heavy and can bruise your feet. I laughed. Well, the buckles are heavy and left me nice square bruises on each foot: but, I wear them! They foot bed is super comfortable and I feel like the shoe is moulded to my feet!

Unfortunately I was sent a size 41 instead of 42 like I ordered. I was looking forward to wearing these to a wedding next weekend and now scrambling to find a pair. Afraid to reorder again and get here in time. Zappos is normally great. Not sure what happened here.

I usually wear a 7-7.5 (EU38) N in the flat Birkenstock sandals. I really wanted the wedge sandal to fit since I have a narrow, flat foot with a narrow heel. I have great difficulty finding shoes with heels to fit me, even at Zappos. My foot slid forward a bit with this wedge. I thought about going up a size to the 8-8.5 but I have a feeling it would've been too long. Alas, I am putting heel buying on hold for a while, since I had sent another pair, different brand back too.

For my narrow foot, it is too wide across the front strap. Sorry I had to return it, I was really hoping it would work!

Such a great color and a nice look but I have a narrow foot and while this is perfectly adjustable across the foot, the adjustment around the ankle is only on the front so it gapes in the back. I tried a smaller size but the foot bed was too short. Otherwise it's a great shoe.

I didn't find these terribly comfortable. They were too wide and long. At the end of the day I didn't feel like the toe area strap would not cause a huge blister!

The size was fine. I didn't like the styling - the gold buckle in particular. Close - but not quite the shoe I am looking for.

Even though they are narrow, they are "Birk" narrow (which for my foot is a bit too wide (but not enough to return the shoe). Brands like Rieker and Naot produce truly narrow shoes. That said, these shoes are stylish enough for me while having a very comfortable footbed.

These are cute and I believe they’d be comfortable, but I had to rerun them, my toes seem like they might hang over (like the video) and the buckle was difficult to fasten, perhaps they’ll give over time, but I don’t have the time to figure it out, these may work for some, just not me (hence the 4 stars).

I ordered these because I wanted a neutral/nude colored wedge with a cork footbed, and for whatever reason that's hard to find. So, I took a chance and ordered these Birks thinking they may look odd in person. However, I was pleasantly surprised. They look very stylish and are well made. Very comfortable footbed of course. If you're not used to Birks or have a flat foot these might not feel great to you until you get used to them. My only complaint is the buckles. They are huge, cheap looking, and strangely hard to buckle and adjust. I felt like the buckle would break or rub and ruin the leather down very quickly. Also since they are so huge, they brass/gold color really stands out and looks cheap. I'm a cool summer color pallet and do silver tones in accessories so the gold was just too much and doesn't harmonize with my closet. If the buckles were a different color and smaller, I would have definitely kept these because I liked the color, the fact that they were leather, and the fact that they were good for my feet. As for sizing I'm usually a 6.5 to 7 and the 37 fit well. Straps easily adjust for narrow feet and ankles.

This shoe was very comfortable. I knew that Birkenstocks listed as narrow width fit as a medium width. I normally wear a size 11 in the women's Birkenstock/ Papillio shoes. This style was just a tiny bit short in length so that my toes came up to or slightly went over the front edge of the sandal. An extra 1/4 inch in length would have been perfect for me. Sadly they are going back :(

I wanted to love these but they were way too loose across the toe, even on the last hole.
