Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle Platform Teddy by Papillio

I don’t get the bad reviews. Papillio IS Birkenstock. I guess I don’t get why it’s a big deal to some. Cute shoe. Fits true to size. It’s very thick fur and it’s a lot on the foot. But I think it’s cute, super stylish and will be warm and practical for a Texas winter and if it’s colder where you live then “socks and Stocks” all the way! If you like this look don’t let the bad reviews sway you. True Birkenstock all the way!!!

This is false advertisement. They list these as Birkenstock when in fact they’re Papillio who takes the footbed of Birkenstocks and places their own design over that. If you look at the pictures you can see that on the footbed it shows papillio and not Birkenstock.

Papillio is Birkenstock's funky line of shoes. Papillio is not a different company. They're all made by Birkenstock. That said, this is an ugly shoe.

I really wanted to Love these!! They are so cute and the platform style is very hip. BUT, for $180, the shoe construction felt really poor. The shearling just comes off and seems very loosely glued down on the footbed. I feel like they seem cheap for being Birks and being so expensive. Sad!

These Birks are adorable! I ordered the cream color but will be back for black soon! I wear a 40 in Birks and have ten pair ? (shoe addition) that size but with this pair and the shearling it didn't leave enough room. I ended up ordering a 41 and although there wasn't a ton of size difference between the 40 and 41 it allowed just enough room and the 41 is a perfect fit without looking huge on my feet. I am normally a 9-9.5 in all other shoes. I've wanted these forever and am so happy with my purchase!

I love these shearling Birkenstocks. Last year I bought the eggshell and I just purchased the black. They're so comfortable, well made and perfect for Arizona winter weather. Just a tip - I'm sure it's because of the shearling, but I usually wear a 40 in regular Birkenstock, but I need a 41 in this style.

Feels good. A little tight but not unbearable

These are the absolute best! So eye catching and cute! Definitely grab these shoes!!!

They fit true to size.

I’m so glad I finally bought these! So adorable and comfy!

Love love love!

Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle Platform Teddy by Papillio is different the fix seems off.

I am a 38.5 and got a 40! This is my normal Birkenstock sizing and it worked well for these. The shearling does rub off on the actual part of the shoe as you wear them but as does any sort of sherpa. If you want them to constantly say fluffy you are going to want to go with Uggs over these Birks. These have the unparalleled support of Birkenstocks and are so cute on!

The photos were really cute. The shoe was very stiff upon trying on. The fuzziness was overshadowed by the strange fit, very stiff sides almost cutting into my feet. Usually birkenstocks are amazing- these not so much. I returned.

Not that comfortable tbh but cute. Also not the same quality that Birkenstock is known for … waaaaay too expensive for the quality. Kept them just bc I thought they’d get more comfortable :/

I’ve never bought Birkenstocks, for style reasons. However, after a foot procedure, these fluffy flats appeared to be a perfect style choice while healing. Unfortunately the toe zone buckle transition is uncomfortable on the top of my (normal) foot. If the strip beneath the buckle was cushioned beneath the buckle, it would work. Fix it, Birkenstock… please. It was actually a cute shoe.

Very uncomfortable. Hard sole. Uncomfortable footbed.

Wanted to love them, but the heel is very narrow...super cute but weird fit...I would say I have an average heel width (not a 1" wide heel like the molded heel bed of this shoe)...

Ordered a size up as recommended by other reviews and that was perfect. They are not very comfortable though … painful actually. They’re so cute so trying to wear them with socks to wear them in.

I SO wanted to love this shoe! It’s so cute! I read all the reviews and ignored them because of how cute they are. These are flat out uncomfortable. Hard as a rock (nothing like the traditional Arizona, I do have a pair and love them), and the straps sort of dig into the top of your feet, it’s hard to describe that part. The hardness is like walking on bricks and almost makes you stomp. I’m really disappointed because I wore them outside based solely on how cute they are and now can’t return them. Please learn from my lesson and don’t get these, spring for the non-platform shearling version (I think they’re slightly higher in price).

Awful product. Advertised as Birkenstocks but they were not. more expensive and cheaper quality

These are just cheaply made, uncomfortable and absolutely NOT worth that kind of money. Don’t look like the pictures at all.
