Love these. Comfy and cute. I have high arches and these have good support without being uncomfortable.

In U.S. sizes, I'm a 6.5 Wide, which might have led me to a 37 in these. But I got a 36, which turned out to be perfect!

I wish they came in the "soft footbed" version.

In the past, I have only worn the Gizeh style Birkenstocks in a regular width. The regular Franca looks too wide for me but I decided that it's optical because all the focus is on the two straps that cross over your toes right at the widest part of your foot. The Gizeh, by contrast, draws a line vertically down the middle of your foot, emphasizing length over width. Zappos didn't have the black leather Gizeh in stock in my size so I kept these. They are a little more feminine than the Arizona pair that I also bought but no heads will turn when I wear these sandals. Birkenstocks are not pretty shoes but they are comfortable shoes.

Loved the red color. Purchased the narrow width for an overall better fit

The fit is perfect once you find the correct size and width. They feel great right out of the box. The style is so cute and more feminine than some of the other Birk’s - not so clunky looking.

I love these. I got the red color and couldn’t be happier, I have found I can either wear a regular size or a narrow, but if I wear the narrow I have to size up one. this style is great.

So happy with these Birks! The footbed felt extremely comfortable the moment I tried them on. I spent a few days wearing them a little at a time so the leather uppers softened a bit. Now I can wear them all day and my feet love them. I've had a pair of purple Birk Bostons as house slippers for years that I fondly call my duck feet shoes ~ the Franca style is much cuter. Have my eye on another style now.

I can’t believe I scored these in the red. The style is super flattering, though they are definitely narrow. For sizing I’ve found I can wear regular and narrow, but if I opt for narrow I size up one. The fit and everything is standard Birk. If you’re a fan, you won’t be disappointed in these. Definitely a more feminine style.

I got a wide size because my toes square off in shape. Perfect!

So so cute! Love the strappy design and the narrow fit. I have a couple pairs of Mayaris and a pair of Sydneys, and I like them all, but the Francas are my faves.

I bought these after two pairs of busted Mayaris. I like the style a lot and purchased narrow due to the reviews. They dress up well and don’t look too clunky. So far so good!

Comfortable strap placement gives a snug fit similar to Arizona and Florida styles. Had to return because slightly too big.

I really like my new shoes!! They’re my third pair of Birkenstocks so I knew I would like the quality. I don’t like the traditional “hippie” big buckle style that Birkenstock’s are known for, so these were perfect. I like the fact that they can be fitted to my feet correctly at 3 different places.
