I love my Oswegos with the canvas upper; they're so comfortable that I can do a day walking in them, with socks or barefoot, as easily as I can in running shoes. But these leather versions are stiff and feel pinchy and painful for me. I don't think sizing up would help as they would just be big, but still stiff.

This should not be sold as Narrow, at all. I don't think Birkenstock understands that term. Very fun and fashionable shoe, but really really wide.

Wonderful wide toe box, which is what I need. I have narrow heels, so that's a problem, but my toes are so comfortable that I'm not worrying about the heels.

I ordered another shoe! They shipped another one because they did not have what I ordered! It was a big hassle to get credit and return the shoes

I wish these came in more colors because I am absolutely obsessed. So comfortable from the first moment I put them on.

Not the quality I have come to expect from Birkenstock. They lasted less than six months and the cork is crumbling. The shoe is unwearable and trash.

I love these! The color is not something I often see in this style of shoe. They are very casual, and not particularly feminine, but I love Birks and i couldn't pass them up.

I own the Oswego in pink canvas. They are my favorite shoe. I really wanted the grey canvas ones but Birkenstock has discontinued them so I opted for the leather ones. The Oswegos are a comfortable style and go with anything. If you want leather. These are a great shoe. They are heavier if a shoe than I like for my intended use, but a quality shoe nonetheless. The left shoe slips on my heel, but I’m hoping that this one pair is a little off in sizing.

Like the canvas Oswego slip ons, these felt (surprisingly) fine in the width although my foot is narrow. The length felt like a 9.5 rather than a 10-10.5), and the heel wasn't narrow enough for my foot so I had too much slippage. I would order the sz. 11, but as they go up in size the manufacturer will increase the width, (WHY!!??) and even if they didn't do that the heel would still slip. Really too bad, these are cute shoes.

The left shoe where the top and side are sewn together had a lump and it rubbed my foot. I returned the shoes.

These run so wide!! I’ve been looking for a black leather sneaker and ordered these in a narrow, but they were even wider than the “medium” width pairs I ordered from other brands. Pick something else if you have even a slightly narrow foot.
