Geez, I want a pair of Birkenstocks so badly but have yet to find a pair that fit. Oswego is a beautifully crafted shoe and looks great on. This style has the "soft" footbed version (which is still firm but so buttery nice), but even in narrow, the shoe flops. If I size down, my toe is touching the end. I just don't think Birkys are made for narrow feet. Sigh.

My husband really likes these. He has Birkenstock sandals which are super comfortable. Thrilled to have tennis shoes now!

Best fitting show I've bought in a long time. I'm somewhere between a 9 and 9 1/2 so European size 41 works best. Also had a narrow version which is great.

Theses are as comfortable as I had imagined they would be although I did have to go an entire size down. They are great without socks, that’s how I plan to wear them, just be sure not to wear them without socks on really hot days. Anyway, they are easy and cute.

These are an awesome summer tennis shoe. They are very comfortable and not hot on my feet. I wear them especially walking my dog. They are easy to clean. I wear a 41R and the 41R fit great. I wear them with out socks and they fit great and my feet do not perspire in the shoe. I found the arch support good, did not disappoint. Another great shoe,

Am a 39 in Birks. These were too short and my toe was touching the top when I walked. Also arrived with scuff marks and the fabric was pulling away from the toe box a little. I returned them as a 40 would be too big.

Great color. Great comfort. Cute little slip on. The footbed is super comfy. It feels somewhat like the soft sole that Birkenstock has been making for a number of years.

I have a narrow fit and this shoe in narrow fits pretty well. They feel true to size in length. These are super comfortable and I may order another pair in a different color.

They are a little tight in the beginning, but they are canvas and they do stretch out. This is my second pair in this style. I additionally like that I can remove the inserts and use them in other shoes. I wish they still had this shoe in the dusty pink canvas, as the navy blue isn't as cute, but it works fine.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these, EXCEPT... they are too big in the heel so felt sloppy as I walked. Darn it!! I have to say that I have a narrow foot and don't often find slip on shoes that work; my feet are usually just swimming on my shoes, but these actually fit, if only the heel had been narrower. So disappointing.

The arch was too high on my right foot and both shoes slid off of my heels when walking. It's a great shoe, but not suitable for me.

I ordered my usual size for Birkenstock, but these are way too short. I also think I will try the lace up version rather than the slip on

A very sturdy shoe, no doubt super comfortable after break-in. Alas they look klutzy on me, even for Birkenstocks.
I am normally 6.5 and a little narrow, but in these and all Birkenstocks I take 36/5.5N.

Very comfortable but they sizes are slightly different than Birkenstock sandals, I had to order a size larger but then the were too big so I stayed with the original size and hoping they stretch a little bit

I want to love these so bad, they're so close to being perfect. I wear a 40 in my sandals, and sized up to 41 for closed toe. the length is slightly shorter than I anticipated, but not enough for me to mark it '1/2 size too small' and the width is great. I even have feet on the wider size. They're super comfy - I work in a hospital and love birks for long days on my feet.
The problem is the toe box... and not the width, but the height. The shoe is rigid and every time I walk my great toe nail rubs against the inside top of the shoe. I don't have long to nails either. Bummer.. They're so great otherwise.
