The shoe is heavy and with the single strap so close to the toe the shoe just flops all over when you try to take a step. Poor design. The size was an accurate 12N.

I would recommend this brand, just not this style.

It felt too big. Looked and felt cheaply made. Came in an old box, crushed and open. I honestly thought they were fakes.

The buckle on the top of the foot was so uncomfortable. I really wanted to love these sandals.

The buckle hits in a weird and very uncomfortable place on my foot. The size was fine, the way it hit the top of my foot was not. Had to return.

These sandals ended up being very painful and bruised my foot on the top.

I wore them in the house for maybe 10 minutes and already getting blister. The buckle area is too stiff and uncomforable.

Shoes are great but the big buckle HURTS! Can you make fun colors with the small regular buckle please?

I was very excited when I initially ordered these. I've owned a pair of Birkenstocks in the past and loved them. These were the most uncomfortable sandals I've ever worn. The sandal was causing my toes to bleed. How the material rubbed against my feet was unbearable. Unfortunately, I had to return.

toe grip is smaller, harder to stay on my foot, and hard to walk in. Returned to a different style.

Unfortunately the Birkenstocks were too short, looked great and probably true too size. I wear 12N.
Just could not accommodate me.
I'd also recommend:
Almost anything in my size. I am the poster for hard to find sizes.

Watch the Narrow - I normally take the smaller of the 2 sizes I wear in Shoes for Birkenstock- I have been consistently the same size over many many pairs - I have to buckle on the smallest buckle so I thought the narrow would be great . I also have a narrow foot to begin with but the tree are the issue in this style. I can’t go bigger as the sole will hit my arch wrong . Size up if you can or take a pass

They fit but were slippery on the sole bed, and the gold buckle in person is really cheap looking so returned them.

I liked the look. But the footbed is hard and doesn't fit comfortably. These would not be fun to walk around in all day.

They look great but not comfortable. The underside of the buckle dug into the top of my foot and even though I ordered a narrow they were very wide had to return them and just bought the Madrid‘s instead which I’ve had before

Do not buy any black sole sandals from Birkenstock they turn gray & crack then look horrible & it only took 4 months for that to happen. Birkenstock actually told me to get them repaired but every piece on the sandal would of needed replacing. Quality is a 1 ?? I’d give it a 0 ?? if I could.

too big. the size recommended was a 39 but I always wear a size 8 and it was too big. I wore them once so I can’t return them so I bought a 38 from Birkenstock and they fit perfect! now I have to figure out what to do with the size 39 ?

The floor bed of these Birks is extremely hard, and has zero cushioning. Surprising for Birks, but I think they wanted to make the sandal lighter, so there's a tradeoff in the loss of the normal Birk comfort. They're actually so painful to walk in that it's not worth suffering it to enjoy the cute style. These are going back.
