Very wide and front of leather cut into my foot while just trying on.
Wanted to love these! Need softer leather.

This shoe was too wide for my narrow foot. I liked the feel of the soft leather, but wasn't happy with the sizing. I don't think a smaller size would fix the issue with the width, so sadly I'm returning.

I wish the strap across the toes could be adjusted. It’s too loose on my foot so I will have to send the shoes back. So hard to find shoes that fit.

I have terribly narrow feet and these shoes, although they were pretty comfortable, they felt a little sloppy. And, I was unable to tighten them to feel tighter.

The footbed feels great as expected but the strap over the foot is not adjustable and is too loose for me. It would be fine if you have a 'fuller" foot. The price was great so I am keeping them...just won't walk great distances in them.

These shoes are comfortable, however they run wider than I'd like through the front strap area. I wish there was a way to adjust it to fit tighter. The fabric also is showing dirt after a few wearings.

I am returning these sandals because they run quite big on me and look unattractive. I am also returning them because this is the second pair of shoes I have received from Zappos lately that have come in an unmarked, plain brown box that is sometimes damaged. These also did not have the tags that usually come with Birkenstocks. Frankly, I had to check to see if they had been worn several times. It gives me a feeling that I am getting a knock-off or maybe discounted shoes that I am paying full price for. They also took a long time to get here. This is not what I usually expect from Zappos and is making we wary about continuing to order shoes from them. Back they go.

These shoes weren't comfortable and felt too wide for my foot. The lining on the front of shoes rubbed my toes. Disappointed with them.

This sandal just wasn't very comfortable. I found the leather not to be supple enough, and the rear strap hit at the base of my ankle, not across my foot, and wasn't comfortable.

Cute style. The footbed is super comfortable. But, the leather straps are so incredibly stiff! I had blisters. EVERYWHERE on my feet. Every single time I wore them. Ended up giving them away to someone else who thought they may make them work. No word on their experience. Bummer because these are super cute.

Unfortunately this was to be a narrow width and it still felt like medium width…my narrow foot sliding around.

One strap was about an inch longer than the other. The sandals seem defective.

Birkenstock Glenda’s Platform Sandal were much narrower than all other Birkenstock sandals.and the ankle strap is uncomfortably short. Unless you have narrow feet and not just Birkenstock “Narrow size”, I would not recommend.

These are my favorite summertime shoes. You can wear them with shorts or dresses. Great for support and plantar fasciitis friendly.

I have severe plantar fascitits, and these saved me!! They are so supportive and so much cuter on. The pictures don't give them justice. I wear them everywhere with everything. My only complaint is that they don't come in black too

Runs big. I am ALWAYS a sz. 9 (40N Euro) in Birkenstock. I have dozens of pairs in 40N.
I bought these in sz. 40N/9 and they fell right off my feet and fit very loose. The 39 fits much better in this style. I recommend sizing down

I've had these shoes for over a year and love them so much! The quality is great and they have held up beautifully for over the 2 summers that I've worn them. I get lots of compliments on them too. I love that there is somewhat of a platform for a little extra height, and the leather straps are gorgeous and have never caused blisters or anything - could wear them from day 1 with no break in time! If you're on the fence, get them!

I really liked the stability and lightweight feel but don’t love the suede lining for the price knowing they will get marked up by foots oils.

I have wide feet and couldn’t fit my foot into the sandal. I’m trying one size up even though the length was perfect. The leather is very stiff.
