Customer Reviews Birkenstock Franca Oiled Leather

Birkenstock sandals are the best! They are so comfortable you don't remember you are wearing shoes.

Takes a bit of breaking in but really like the sturdy feel of these sandals. Glad I got them.

Birkenstocks are always a bit stiff when you get them, but break in nicely over time.

I have super wide feet. Length-wise 6 might’ve been a better fit but 7 wasn’t too long so stuck with what gave more width. Pretty happy with the comfort after a couple of days of wearing them

Love the style and the fit is amazing. Sadly, the oiled black just isn’t a deep black so I had to return. Thinking a different color in this style may be my next order!

The fit was good. They were beautiful and I loved them, perfect fit…But didn’t work with my Bunyan, so I returned them.

Love these shoes. Fit well and I have had no problems walking in them. I have what a shoe salesman described as a short fat foot. Which boils down to I have a problem with my instep, but so far Birkenstock has worked for me.

This fit exactly as expected for me. I understand what some people have said about the strap near the ankle hitting high up. The first time I wore them that strap rubbed in the crease between foot and ankle and was a bit uncomfortable. They are comfortable now, after a few hours wear. These are the classic soles that shape to your foot. Exactly what I wanted.

My third pair of Birkenstocks, so obviously I'm a fan....the only complaint I have about this pair (Franca Tobacco Oiled Leather) is that the color is not at all like the photos on the website, they are much paler - I would describe the color as a taupe. I noticed another reviewer also commented on this, so perhaps update the photo with a truer representation of the color.

These appeared to be a rich brown color in the picture. They were actually much lighter - more of a beige. I was so disappointed - I love birkenstocks.

Great fit. Perfect.

My wife loves them.

These look and feel awesome. The style is definitely a step above your average Birk but with all the comfort.

The Fog Blue color of these Francas works great for me! Blue enough to be (a medium) blue, but just a tad grey-ish. Maybe won’t select these for saturated dark blue jeans… I tried a navy blue Mayari size 40 which is a consistent size for me in general across Birks I’ve tried on. Straps and all on these Fracas are comfortable. Navy Mayari was desirable but super dark and I already have black big buckle Arizonas, so didn’t want to go super dark again, esp in summer. Was sort of jazzed about blue this purchase. Who knows how long they’ll market these. I can get a brown in a couple of years (if I can hold out)! ?

Love these. They are like a typical Birkenstock, but not everyone has them. The color is lighter than what I expected. I do like they are leather, rather than vegan. Took a bit to break in, I just wore them around the house with socks (like I do w all Birks) I wear them to work, and on walks with the dogs.

I'm a Birkenstock hard/traditional sole gal. Never takes long to break them in. ???

Perfect fit, very comfortable!

Love the sandals. Wish they had more colors because I would buy another pair.

I love Birkenstock and have purchased many pairs over the years. I wear the 41 regular/wide width and don't like the soft soles. So glad this style was available in the kind I like (usually only the Arizona style works!).

This new Franca fits great, as expected from Birkenstock, and I love the new style!

The size and fit was perfect.

These are so cute. They looks less “clunky” than the Arizona style I usually buy. I ordered my usual size and they fit just right. Not roomy like my other Birks, but I think they may stretch a bit and then will be more relaxed. One size up would have been too long.

Although I'm normally a 40 in euro sizes, I'm always a 39R in Birk sandals and these were no exception. My foot exactly fits within the edges of the shoe and the toe bar hits in just the right spot. I wanted to replace my old Arizona SFB which had worn out, and liked the style and the firmer footbed of these better. They stay on my feet very well, and so far the straps don't rub at all. And for birks, these are cute enough to wear out of the house :)

They were a perfect and if they last as long as my last pair, 12 years and now have some issues) I will be in a nursing home! The oil leather is long-lasting and comfortable. By the way, after 12 years the uppers are still very solid and looks great.

I have other Birkenstock sandals and as usual they fit and look great
