Super footbed, soft strap leather but the color was a duller brown than pictured and I returned.

Narrow for sure. I used the Birkenstock length to width ratio and seemed like my foot would be “narrow” by their standards. But this fit really is for a very slender foot. Otherwise sandal seems consistent with Birkenstock quality.

Unfortunately this shoe ran way too big for me. I really wanted it to work since it seems well made and comfortable, but the 36 is definitely closer to a 5.5 than a 5 and it was way to big for me. I hade lots of extra room in the front and back of the shoe.

I wish the straps were a little thinner but they are a sturdy shoe and comfortable after walking all day in them.

Too big :( I own over 20 pairs of Birkenstock/Papillio/Betula. In every single pair, I'm a 40N (9 Narrow), But in this style, that size was too big. There was at least 1/2 inch of extra space at the end of my toes. I was shocked, because usually Birkenstock are very consistent with sizing and I can count on them to always fit. I'm going to re-order and try a 39N/8N. Hopefully those will fit!

The size (10-10-5, Narrow) fit my shoe size perfectly but the top strap was much too wide for my narrow feet. The fabric was also quite rough on my toes as I took a few steps to try them out. The footbed was well constructed with great arch support and comfort for fussy feet. ...Loved the look and sure wish I did not have to send them back. Thank you Zappos for your great return policy as well as the fantastic shoe choices you provide!

I love them, BUT the stitching on the edge of the canvas material rubs my big toes raw. I’m now trying to figure out how to modify them so they don’t do this. :( Otherwise the fit is perfect.

These are my FAVORITE Birks EVER!!! So comfy and so stinkin cute! They go with pretty much everything. They definitely run a full size smaller than your regular Birkenstock size, so either try on somewhere first or order a size down. You will love them!!

I originally purchased an 8 since that is the size that I wear most often and wear with my Birkenstocks, however when they arrived they were a size too big. I returned and purchased a size lower and they fit mostly well. They still seem a little big in the top strap and I have to move the ankle strap over a couple of notches. The shoe itself fits my foot so I wouldn't go a size smaller. They are comfortable and stylish and I have worn them with dresses, jeans and shorts.

The front strap was too wide for me, unfortunately. These are cute and I was disappointed to have to return them. I have a narrow foot, so wasn't too surprised.

Although sized narrow, they run wide. Loose, even. Bunion foot is happy; surprisingly no blistering on normal foot. I wish the heel straps could be made tighter but they stay on with the ankle buckle. They are lightweight and so far, very comfortable. They are a step up in style from my usual Arizonas.

Im a size 9 and the 39 and 40 were both not right. My foot is also narrow and skinny, and there was too much space between my toes and the toe band.

I like the shoe overall. However the strap across the top is very rigid and makes the top of my foot hurt at the end of the day. I am going to keep them and hope it softens with wear. They are super cute and very comfortable otherwise.

Cute shoe! However, the narrow was not narrow enough for me and I had to return.

I bought these sandals in a 37 because they were suppose to be a narrow and my regular shoe size is 7 narrow. The length was fine, but the width of the toe strap was too wide, so I had to return them. It is an attractive shoe.

Adorable sandals! Runs a bit big. I wear 9 1/2 and ordered 9 1/2. A bit swimmy. :(. Color is gorgeous. And super comfy. But the Yara Sandle won out.

Returned- they really run big. Not for someone like me with narrow feet, but seem great for someone else who isn’t narrow. Order a size down.

definitely big- wish I'd listened to the other reviews! I wish they were more narrow, (especially the toe box area) but going down a size helped. A little over-priced, in my opinion- still cute and trendy. Out of the box feels comfortable like more traditional Birkenstocks, hopefully this holds up.

So adorable, they make your legs look so long, but too big for me. These fit at least a half size too big for me. I am typically between a size 5 - 6, and the 36 was way too large. Please Birkenstock, make these in a size 35!

Unfortunately these ran way too big! I typically wear shoes sizes between 5 - 6. My size in Birkenstock Bostons in a 36, but it seems some of the sandals styles run larger. Unfortunately this style does not come in a 35, so these will be going back. The sandal itself is high quality and very cute.

The fit and comfort of these were spot on for Birkenstock. It was the cork of the wedge I didn’t like. It looks like particle board to me. I returned.
