In U.S. sizes, I'm a 6.5 Wide, which might have led me to a 37 in these. But I got a 36, which turned out to be perfect!

The fit is perfect once you find the correct size and width. They feel great right out of the box. The style is so cute and more feminine than some of the other Birk’s - not so clunky looking.

Comfortable strap placement gives a snug fit similar to Arizona and Florida styles. Had to return because slightly too big.

I really like my new shoes!! They’re my third pair of Birkenstocks so I knew I would like the quality. I don’t like the traditional “hippie” big buckle style that Birkenstock’s are known for, so these were perfect. I like the fact that they can be fitted to my feet correctly at 3 different places.

I am ALWAYS a 7.5 for shoe size and for these (after trying on multiple sizes) I am a 27 (6-6.5). So size down. Cute shoes. Love that I can simply slide my foot inside. Casual yet can throw on these shoes with a skirt. Comfortable shoes. Straps are a little stiff still but should soften with time. I am very happy with them.

I love these Birkenstock’s. They are a little lighter than the oiled brown leather in the photo. I didn’t mind because I actually like the color better, but if you want the ones pictured I would not order these.

I love everything about these—the color, the comfort, the style. these were purchased 14 months ago and they still look great! I found they run quite large and sized down. I usually wear an 8, but the size 37 was what worked for me!

I grew up wearing Birks, but spent too much time in my adult life wearing uncomfortable ill-fitting sandals. After developing planner fasciitis during my second pregnancy I wanted to find a nice looking comfortable sandal that I can wear when I'm not wearing running shoes. I'm so glad that Birkenstock makes this beautiful design now they look nice and form perfectly to my arches to help heal my plantar fasciitis.

This is a new style for "Arizona" lovers- just thinner straps and smaller buckles. I haven't purchased Birks in quite some time. My older Birks are all size 37. As far as my "comfy" shoes go, I wear a 7 New Balance, 6.5 in Hoka One One, and 6 in Vionic shoes. Maybe my feet are shrinking, but the 36 fits great. I originally ordered a 37, but felt it would slip off my foot easily, even with tightened buckles. I really like the tobacco color- it goes with a lot, especially the cute prairie and apron dresses that are back in (early 90's trend with Doc martin or Frye boots). Once I found the best size for me, they were comfortable out of the box, and will only get better.

These Birkenstocks fit true to size. The style is a bit more feminine - which is nice.

These fit perfectly and offer the support I expect from Birkenstocks. They’re really comfortable and so easy to slide on and off. Perfect!

I almost didn't order these because the tobacco leather look scuffed and scratched in the product photo on the Zappos website. The customer photos in the review section also looked scratched and scuffed. I really liked the style, though, and already have a pair of navy Birkenstocks for summer so I decided to take chance. They look beautiful- not a scratch or scuff in sight. So glad I took a chance on these- I love Birkenstocks and this is my 9th pair during the past 25 years. I wear a size 9 sneaker, but size 38 in Birkenstocks so I always recommend sizing down to ensure a proper fit for your heel.

The leather straps were a bit stiff the first few wears, and the footbed was a bit firm, however both are breaking in nicely after only a week.
