Customer Reviews Birkenstock Franca Oiled Leather

I ordered my usual 39N and they fit perfect. They are very slightly wider than the Mayari, maybe 1/8-1/4 inch. Took less time to break in than my Mayaris, maybe because these are real leather vs the birko flor. Tobacco brown leather looks as pictured, and will go with absolutely everything I own. Love

I am ALWAYS a 7.5 for shoe size and for these (after trying on multiple sizes) I am a 27 (6-6.5). So size down. Cute shoes. Love that I can simply slide my foot inside. Casual yet can throw on these shoes with a skirt. Comfortable shoes. Straps are a little stiff still but should soften with time. I am very happy with them.

love these. true to size and strappy but not flappy. my entire foot stays on the sandel foot bed but the shoes are relatively feminine. my plantar facitis also doesn't ache at the end of the day.

I love everything about these—the color, the comfort, the style. these were purchased 14 months ago and they still look great! I found they run quite large and sized down. I usually wear an 8, but the size 37 was what worked for me!

Fit is perfect. I wear an 8-8.5 and they were true to size. I’m going slow as suggested by websites but these will be great once broken in. I’m currently nursing planters fasciitis and they feel good so far wearing them in during the break in period. I’d do it again in another style one day.

This is the third pair of Birks I order in hope of actually receiving the tobacco brown color I ordered in 2018. On the website the picture is the correct color but every pair shipped has been worn and maybe a stone color. I’m so frustrated cause they can’t seem to get the right one shipped! First pic is what was sent. Second pic is my old ones I’m trying to replace. I realize my are worn, but the new ones look nothing like the original color.

I grew up wearing Birks, but spent too much time in my adult life wearing uncomfortable ill-fitting sandals. After developing planner fasciitis during my second pregnancy I wanted to find a nice looking comfortable sandal that I can wear when I'm not wearing running shoes. I'm so glad that Birkenstock makes this beautiful design now they look nice and form perfectly to my arches to help heal my plantar fasciitis.

This is a new style for "Arizona" lovers- just thinner straps and smaller buckles. I haven't purchased Birks in quite some time. My older Birks are all size 37. As far as my "comfy" shoes go, I wear a 7 New Balance, 6.5 in Hoka One One, and 6 in Vionic shoes. Maybe my feet are shrinking, but the 36 fits great. I originally ordered a 37, but felt it would slip off my foot easily, even with tightened buckles. I really like the tobacco color- it goes with a lot, especially the cute prairie and apron dresses that are back in (early 90's trend with Doc martin or Frye boots). Once I found the best size for me, they were comfortable out of the box, and will only get better.

These Birkenstocks fit true to size. The style is a bit more feminine - which is nice.

These fit perfectly and offer the support I expect from Birkenstocks. They’re really comfortable and so easy to slide on and off. Perfect!

I almost didn't order these because the tobacco leather look scuffed and scratched in the product photo on the Zappos website. The customer photos in the review section also looked scratched and scuffed. I really liked the style, though, and already have a pair of navy Birkenstocks for summer so I decided to take chance. They look beautiful- not a scratch or scuff in sight. So glad I took a chance on these- I love Birkenstocks and this is my 9th pair during the past 25 years. I wear a size 9 sneaker, but size 38 in Birkenstocks so I always recommend sizing down to ensure a proper fit for your heel.

The leather straps were a bit stiff the first few wears, and the footbed was a bit firm, however both are breaking in nicely after only a week.

I love these! Super comfortable they feel like second skin.

I originally purchased a 38 (7-7.5) and it was way too big. I ended up with the 37 which is size 6-6.5. I normally would wear a 7.5-8, but my true size was huge. Guess Birks run a little big! It's been a while since I bought my old ones and I couldn't read the size on them.

My 3rd pair of Birks. I didn't want a style that went between my toes and did not want the Arizona style. This Franca is comfy, working out just great! I wish there were more colors available.

I have what I call normal feet, size 6 1/2. I really like the style and especially the blue color I ordered. But I got spoiled with the narrow Birkenstocks which fit the same as the regular ones. There's not that much difference, but on my smaller-sized feet I think they make my foot look wide. Personal preference. I have a pair of the same style in a narrow and I love them. They're very well built. The leather is a little stiff at first, but I wear them with a pair of socks for that initial breaking-in period and have absolutely no problems. I think this style is a little dressier with the narrow straps and with the strap closer to your ankle, it stays on your feet better.

I love these Birkenstocks! I ordered a different style a year ago and fell in love with them. I wear them year 'round and they still look like new. I've always considered my feet as "normal" with no issues. I wear a 6 1/2 shoe and I REALLY like the narrow option. I ordered this style in narrow like my previous pair and another style in the regular width. I think I'm pretty stuck on the narrow. The regular width isn't that much of a difference, but to me, I felt like I was wearing clown shoes. I seem to be attracted to the styles with the narrower strapping. This style held my foot in place better than the Madrid style which seemed to be more of a flip flop. I don't think I could run in those without them flying off my feet. But, these? These are a winner in my book!

LOve the fit, look and feel of these Birks. I have smaller feet and these are not bulky. Straps hit just right. Perfect right outta the box!

Love these Birkenstocks! Feel great on my feet and did not need to be broken in at all. My feet never hurt when I wear Birkenstocks a good amount of the time.

Right out of the box I knew these sandals were keepers. I love the style and the fit. The higher placement of the top strap makes all the difference. While the straps are not wide, my feet feel completely supported and secure, never moving to slip off the back (as they have with other styles). While the "tobacco" color wouldn't have been my first choice, it's neutral enough to go with anything and doesn't call attention to my large feet.

LOVE!!!!! My favorite pair of Birks ever, worth the splurge. Purchased my normal size 38, in the narrow.

These are the perfect Birks! Love the color, the feminine look, the adjustability, just exactly what I was looking for!

Excellent service as always from Zappos. This is a very pretty Birkenstock style and very comfortable. I size down in all Birkenstock sandals but that is because the extra width allows my feet to spread out, so I don’t really need any extra room in the length. I ordered the narrow because several reviews said they ran wide, but they seem very similar in fit to the Myari, which I have several pairs of. I can actually wear a regular or a wide in either style, just depends on how I want it to fit. So personally, I would order whatever size you usually order in Birkenstock sandals. I got the tobacco brown. It is a pretty light beige brown in my opinion. Very neutral, goes with anything. I will be getting other colors.

These shoes are very attractive and very comfortable. I purchased the 37 narrow which I feel is true to size for a Birkenstock brand sandal. Compared to all of my other shoes of other brands, I wear a full size smaller in the Birkenstock. The narrow width for me, is the equivalent of regular width in other shoe brands. In the Birkenstock, I can actually wear the narrow or the regular, just depends on how much I want my feet to spread out. The tobacco brown is lighter in person, but very neutral attractive lighter brown. I will likely purchase in other colors. Shipping from Zappos is super fast.

The size and width are perfect! Glad I ordered the narrow. They fit perfect now and expect them to stretch just a little with wear. Looking forward to wearing them a LOT when it warms up
