Customer Reviews Birkenstock Papillio by Birkenstock Glenda Platform Sandal

These were very cute, and the fit was good. But they feel heavy and clunky to walk in. I'll be returning.

Fit was good, but the leather was not soft. Returning.

I have narrow feet and ordered these in Narrow. My heel was held securely by the straps but my foot slipped around as I walked. The length was fine but these didn't feel narrow. They are cute shoes. I wished they had worked.

The footbed was perfect in support and comfort and exactly what I need. I wish the straps were soft and supple. Unfortunately they were hard and hurt the top of my foot and toes so I could not keep them. Please communicate this to Birkenstock.

Loved these sandals but the front strap is not adjustable and was a bit to wide for my average width feet.

Cute shoes, but run big. Unfortunately had to send back.

I wish I could keep these, but even though they are "narrow," the band around the top of the foot is so wide, it doesn't touch my skin.

The shoes are comfortable, but not very durable looking. The heal part of the shoes seemed a little too clunky.

I wanted to love these but the strap across my toes was too tight and cut into my foot after just a few minutes. Would be awful to wear and walk around (which I planned to do a lot in these).

These shoes run large. I wear a 39N and tried both 39 and 38N. The cloth band over the toe box is quite wide and unadjustable. If you wear a wide, these shoes are for you!

Love these shoes but the strap across the top was wy, way, too tight.

shoe ran VERY wide.

The shoes were too big, and too heavy

I love Birkenstocks. I needed a dressier pair and these fit the need. The leather and the cloth (I bought both types) cut my toes at the front. I put moleskin there to soften it up and hope it works. Very comfortable and looks nice though. Not what you would expect from Birkenstock.

Very cute and comfortable! I found these shoes to be very wide despite being ordered in a narrow. I had to return.

I tried a size larger than I usually get for Birkenstock's. These are really really narrow. Back they go. Bummer, as I do like the higher heel.

I bought this sandal because my daughters brag how comfortable their Birks are and these are more my style. I was concerned about the narrow width, but based on the reviews ordered them anyway. I was super excited when the shoes fit on my feet. However, I couldn't get them buckled, not even on the last hole. The straps need to be a couple inches longer. Cute shoes, too bad they didn't fit.

I did not like the fit; it seemed a little tight so I would like to return the pair. Can you please assist me with that?

It was way too wide. Had to return

I love the look of these sandals but unfortunately I did not love the feel of them. My right foot is wider than my left and it was incredibly uncomfortable because of the straps. I wore them one day and could not wait to get them off my feet they hurt so much. I would not recommend if you have a wider foot bed.I Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

I LOVED the style of these shoes, and the footbed is so, so comfortable! I was just really disappointed with the fit. They have narrow sizes, but it’s really only for the mid to the front of the footbed. The rest of the shoe (the ankle strap, the strap over the front of the foot, and the heel) all felt like a standard size. Like other reviewers, the main thing that was too big for me in the narrow sizing was the strap over the front of the foot. I probably could have poked another hole in the ankle strap and been happy with these if the strap over the front of the foot weren’t so big. (I even tried putting some extra padding in the front with one of the inserts you can use to help with ankle slippage, just to fill up the empty space, and the strap was still too big :( ) I hope Birkenstock will see the other reviews like mine and make this shoe with smaller straps! They’re winners otherwise!!

I ordered narrow. The toe area was too wide.

Because of the design of the platform, all the weight is in the ankle and seemed to pull on ankle straps when walking. They are very cute, but I feel the soft suede strap would stretch out quickly.

The footbed of this shoe is the most comfortable I have ever felt, truly, and the arch support was excellent. I wanted this shoe to work soooo badly, but even the narrow was way too wide for my foot. Despite by best efforts, I could not figure out a way to make them work. I'm so, so sorry to have to return these because they were so comfortable. Please, if you're making narrow shoes, make them narrow!!!!
