Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gabriela by Papillio

I was worried that the narrow fit wasn’t enough for my “Fred Flintstone” feet. They are absolutely perfect and gorgeous! I bought the Anthracite. The color is very versatile. I can’t wait to wear these with my new Toad Co. wrap dress in blue with flowers. Thank you for always making me beautiful, Zappos! I would love this style with leather tops. ???? ? ?

Love the shoe really cute and comfortable. I bought the tan color. Under no circumstance could this be considered a narrow shoe. I don't typically wear a narrow but I would say I am on the narrow side of things. I can wear these but have to move it all the way to the tightest adjustment. I love Birkenstock and wish they were not always so wide.

These shoes are much cuter in the picture. The sizing is large, but probably not a full size so a size down would be too small.

it takes a minute to break in these lovely shoes, but then they’re so perfect I want to wear them constantly. have worn out a standard pair of Birkenstock’s, then had problems with PF, and my birkies were painful. probably too old. I saw these with the slightly higher heel and they are so comfortable and look better than the flat Arizona . SCORE!

These are not narrow enough for me. I realize the Birkenstock "narrow" is really more of a medium, but I have only slightly narrow feet and these were too wide. The slight heel, combined with the loose fit on these made walking an issue. I have the Birkenstock Papillion wedge clogs in "narrow" and they fit well, though I do wear them with thin socks. The Birko-flor uppers are stiff and uncomfortable and would probably take some breaking in.

Always a 41 in Birks-these were too long and wide. Liked the style/material.

What a fun new addition to the Birk family! Love the platform style and fabric straps!

Great look, but NOT narrow at all, and size is closer to 7.5-8 M

the most comfortable Birkenstock’s I’ve ever tried on

Exactly what I expected. Super comfy!

Out of the box comfortable. A nice change up on the Birk, dressed up just enough for work.

Sent 2 right shoes….won’t work for me!

I loved these out of the box. I put them on and loved the style and height. Then when I tried wearing around the straps were very uncomfortable and rubbed roughly against my skin. Sadly had to return.

These are cute and I love the style but can tell if I wear them for more than 10 minutes they will create a blister. I feel like I am in between sizes in Birkenstocks so it might just be a problem for my foot.

I found the size very true - which is a disappointment because reflecting on others' comments I ordered a size up (39 vs 38) and wish I hadn't. Too large. Unfortunately, going back.

I bought these not really knowing or caring that they were vegan, I just know and love the Birkenstock brand and loved the way they looked with the little platform. Unfortunately I am not thrilled with my purchase. The footbed of the shoe doesn’t really have the molded foot bed of a classic Birkie. The little toe bump is like a hint of what it normally is so my foot (very narrow) kind of slides around. however I was able to adjust the straps to the smallest setting and get a secure fit without a lot of extra strap hanging off which is a plus. based on that option I decided to keep them bc they are cute but then I wore them to work where I sit at a desk and occasionally walk to the kitchen and bathroom and by the end of the day I had welts across my big toe and arch where the canvas strap rubbed the skin raw. I am hoping I can put some moleskin or something in those areas of the straps to minimize the chafing if not, I just spent 140 for shoes that will sit in my closet :-(

I should have believed the reviews that said they were narrow. I even ordered the larger size, but it didn’t help. While I like the platform height and the look of them, I could tell just trying them on they weren’t wide enough for my feet like regular Birks are. So sad.

I love my other Birkenstocks, but these just didn't work for me. Lengthwise they were fine (I ordered my regular size), but widthwise they were way too narrow. It felt as if my foot was sitting on the leather strap on the side. The Style was great - loved the looks of them, and they might work well for someone with narrow feet, but sadly, not for my wide ones.

The right shoe was fine, but I received 2 right shoes and no left. Definitely have to return!

You sent me two right feet!
