Always Birkenstock knows how to do things well! This model runs wide, so if you have narrow feet this style may not work out. I also noticed that this style runs a little big. Every pair of Birks I own have been 39, and these happen to look almost a whole size too big! I'm not returning them because the extra space comes in handy by the end of the day when the heat has caused my feet to swell. Also, my Titanium has a slight blue hue to it, just FYI.

Absolutely love these shoes. They are the first pair of Birks that I have worn. They have helped my PF tremendously. Do prepare for a break in period. After that, you won't want to take them off. The leather is very soft and comfortable. The only reason I rated these less than a complete 5 overall is the lack of traction on the sole. I would prefer more grip on the bottom of the shoe.

Beware the toe straps on this shoe! I've worn Birks before and have been very pleased -- these are just not comfortable for long walks, primarily because of the toe strap. Fine for running around, shopping,etc., but I'm going to be looking elsewhere for a good walking sandal.

These Birkenstock sandals are a little more feminine than others. Although I am used to wearing thong-type sandals, when I first tried these sandals on, I thought the leather between the toes would rub. However, after wearing them for a short while, that is not the case.

Very good looking on, but need to return for a smaller size. These sandals seemed to run a size larger.

These shoes are typical of Birkenstock shoes. They are very comfortable and my husband even commented on how attractive they make my feet look. I bought these in silver... beautiful!

I love them! They are not entirely proportional, so my toes sometimes rub even though they are the right size. Also, the top strap has rubbed a spot onto the top of my foot even with the strap loose which hurts sometimes when I walk too much. But, I cannot get enough! I still wear them everyday!

I bought a narrow because in the past I've found Birks to be a bit wide. The sandals fit me perfectly right out of the box so it's a good job I did. I've never had a blister or an irritation. I'm tempted to buy another in a brighter color. I like the updated styles and colors now being offered.

I had originally purchased the Gizeh, but found that on my small feet (size 6.5), the tab of leather covered most of my big toe. This model is much more flattering to a small foot. I love the sueded bottom, which feels great against the sole of my foot, and the arch support can't be beat.

Very cute shoe--looks good on foot. A little strange feeling to walk on--have to get used to it.

Good shoe...there seems to be a lot of space between the end of my big toe and the end of the shoe though. Takes a little while to break in.

These run extremely large. I would say order at least 1½ sizes smaller than you usually wear. Other than that, they are great.

I read a lot of reviews online before buying as it's been years since I've gotten Birks - typically am a heels gal, but being pregnant again with back hurting when I'm barefoot around the house/running errands and wanting to keep my feet for heels for work, I got these. Keep in mind with sizes that they will look too big on your feet. Took me a while to remember that & you need to put them on & bend up so you are on your toes - your toes should not touch the end or they are too small. So, yes, they make your feet look huge but they will be comfortable at the get-go if you get the right size. The patent wasn't as cute & feminine as I was hoping, but again, I wear 4 in heels regularly. But these meet my needs & are comfy, but know they're Birks - comfy, supportive but not something you're going to feel super feminine & small-footed in.

I haven't owned a pair of Birkenstock's since my days as a college undergrad, but walking the streets of NYC necessitated that I reconsider. This style and color is more subtle, less hippie/granola and goes well with a lot of clothes. I can even where them as a summer sandal to work rather than just using them to walk to the office before quickly changing into other, less walking friendly shoes. Definitely give these a go if you're in need of a comfortable walking shoe that's a little more chic than a sneaker to get your around the mean city streets quickly.

Nothing new here, folks. This is the same terrific Birk we all love, especially if you are after a good, solid arch support. I was a little disappointed in the silver color. It's more of a metal silver instead of a shiny silver.

Ordered these sandals due to a recommendation from a family member. I should have followed the suggestions of others and ordered a size smaller as these run big. I also have little feet so the wide straps look bulky on me. They are comfortable, and I can tell even with the wrong size. I don't think I will order these again because they just look to big and clunky for me. I also would like something a little more youthful. The color just didn't do anything for me. I will be returning these and will try a Keen sandal instead.

Golden Brown is much golden than brown. It's almost bronze. Fit was a bit larger than expected too.

I loved these shoes online, and I love Birkenstocks in general, but unfortunately due to the strap arrangement on these shoes, the size seemed a little bigger than the 5 pairs of Birks I have already. The color was also lighter than pictured and kind of pearlescent. I was hoping for a darker, matte pink to match my clothes. I can see these being great for others though.

I also bought this in a narrow size even though I normally am a medium shoe size. This worked out well. Very comfortable and slightly more feminine than the regular Birkenstock.

This shoe has a relatively more graceful look than normal Birkenstocks. Other reviews mentioned that it ran large, so I ordered a size smaller and it fit perfectly. Comes in narrow as well. It\'s fairly comfortable, though I\'m breaking it in slowly.

Love my Birkenstock shoes, though they weren't exactly what I expected. I failed to realize that they'd be patent leather, which isn't really a problem, just not what I had planned on. I wear a lot of skirts in the summer, and these are very versatile for work or play! Extremely comfy, though my foot feels fat (my problem/issue, not the shoes).

Humongous toe loop. Not secure for scrawny toes.
