I liked the style and fit of the sandal but after only two months of moderate use one of the sandals began to crack.

Bought my second pair of these. First pair was a size 40 regular width and was too big but soooo comfy, wore them for two years! Went a size down to 39 in narrow and it’s a good 2 sizes smaller! (For ref I’m usually size 9). Gonna try the 40 narrow next....

I usually roll my eyes at the "it's a full size bigger" comments, because well, I'm a naysayer, but hey y'all, take it from a naysayer... these are a full size too big. Order a size smaller, and you will be happy you did!

These are way too expensive for what they are. They do not last. They crack where the strap meets the toe box

I got these sandals in the 8/8.5 narrow hoping they would fit. They are lightweight and have great arch support, which is fantastic! But, in some shoes I wear a 7.5 and in other's an 8, so I was unsure of exactly what size to order in Birkenstocks. Being in between sizes can make it hard to find sandals that fit right sometimes. These were just big enough that I know I won't wear them. Next time I'll try the 7/7.5 narrow and hope it fits better!

I've been waiting forever for these particular style of Birkenstock to be back in stock for over a year and they did not disappoint. I've been wearing birks since high school in the 80's and I love these. They are lightweight and still solid and supportive the same way of classic birks. The material of the sole and upper is so soft and supple. Waterproof for poolside and gardening without the worry of getting them wet. New favorite summer (and every season) shoe!

I love these! I bought a leather pair of birks several years ago and was suggested to buy the slim fit even though I don’t have a slim foot. I’ve been eyeing the white leather Birkenstock’s but decided on the rubber ones - and so glad I did. For a fraction of the price and they are just as cute and chic looking, I ordered the slim again and it’s the best food. I think it keeps the shoe from looking too bulky.
I saw a lady out wearing the black rubber birks today and she was saying that it was all she wore (stylish, young woman in her 20’s), I’m now debating picking up a black pair too!

I had a pair of Birkenstocks which were size 37 and narrow width. I outgrew them a little, so I decided to order a new pair, just one size up. I am usually a women's 7/7.5 and the size 38 fits perfectly. The narrow width is still perfect as well.

The day these sandals arrived in the mail, I put them on and I have yet to take them off. They're the most comfortable, easy to wear sandals I've ever owned! I'm a 7.5 in most sandals, and the 38 fits me perfectly. I went with the narrow width, which was absolutely perfect for my average-to-narrow sized feet. If your feet aren't particularly wide, I definitely recommend going for the narrow. I'll be wearing these sandals all summer and might have to come back for another color!

Apparently Birkenstock has changed their sizing for this shoe. I ordered the same sandal in the same size that I purchased last year, but it was about 1/2 inch shorter. Zappos' sizing chart is correct so rely on it, not on the size Birkenstock you've worn in the past.

My normal shoe size is a 9.5 and I have narrow feet so I sized up to 10 (40- Women's 10-10.5) and went with the narrow width and they fit perfect. Simple design, lightweight and a versatile sandal. Very happy with my purchase!

The sandals fit well, the Narrow width is the right one to get for me (I’m normally a medium or B width), the 2 straps and buckles at the top make it adjustable, so I’m pleased with them. Very comfortable for walking around the house or outside in warm weather, and still have some arch support.

I use these as my summer outdoors in water/mud/dirt birks. They aren’t as comfy or as cute as my traditional birks but I can hose them off on my way back into the house and they are good as new. They run narrow and a bit longer than other styles but my typical size still fit best. They take a beating and after close to a year are still going strong.

I have had foot surgery so I was worried about the fit on these when compared to other Birks I own. They are light weight, fit true to size, and are comfortable (even though they seem like they are made of a heavy foam). Depending on the shoe, my normal size runs between 7-7.5. I wear size 38 in my other Birks so I ordered a 38 in these and it’s a perfect fit.
I haven’t walked long distances in them because I bought them to slip on and off to run errands so I have no idea if comfort is maintained with longer duration of wear. You can easily wipe these off or rinse them off if they get dirty so they would be perfect for wearing to the beach.
I was also please surprised at the metallic black color. They are more of a matte gunmetal gray color and I love them! I hope they make more colors because they are a great price.

I usually wear 6.5-7 in women shoes. Since I’m in between sizes, I followed what other reviewers suggested and went with the smaller size of 37 and narrow width (I don’t have skinny feet, just regular width), perfect fit! When I first saw the shoes my impression is that they look and feel cheap. However they are super comfortable! No break in needed. So far, I recommend them.

Love the fit. I have several pairs of Birks and size down a tad. I’m normally at 7-7.5 and always get 37s in Birkenstocks and the narrow width of these are great.
Great!, Zappos Customer,

When I first got these, I was a little concerned because the straps were quite rigid. They quickly softened and these have become my favorite pair of Birks! I love the fit and feel. They are lightweight and waterproof. I use them outside, but love to wear them inside too. Glad I gave them a change to get broken in.
