I bought these sandals because they got great reviews, but I hate them! If I could return them, I would, but I've already worn them. They took forever to break in and were murderously uncomfortable in the process. They are also clunky and awkward looking. I definitely regret this purchase.

Rubber toe hold so uncomfortable I haven't been able to wear these twice. I had blisters the size of quarters between my toes on both feet. I've heard they get more comfortable with time, but they are Birks - they should be comfortable from Jump Street.

Ok I am a huge Birk fan and an even bigger fan of Zappos! This shoes are horrible! The foot bed is typical Birkenstock but the thing between the toes is tortue. I have tried to break them by forcing myself to wear them, it's not getting any better! Sad because they are cute.

I ordered the gizeh in purple. I needed a comfortable sandal to help relieve my plantar fasciitis and tendinitis. Completely flat shoes were killing my feet but I can't wear anything with much of a heel. These seemed perfect--trendy, easy to slip on and off. However, the plastic toe part really hurt after just a brief time. Also, for some reason the arch did not hit me in the right spot and my toes did not seem to land where they should. The fit just seemed off and not as comfortable as I expected. Thanks to Zappos quick and great return policy, I was able to return these shoes. I took a chance and ordered the Mayari--these are great, especially for my high arches.

I ordered Sangria- which is a little more magenta than cherry red. No mistake of Birkenstock or Zappos - I just wanted a brighter red, so will be returning them.

Based on the image I expected these to be silver. They are actually very pale green.

I really wanted to keep these but the toe separation really hurts! Sadly I had to return and I'm trying another style.

I've never found Birkenstock's to be comfortable, but I have a high arch. The molded part of the footbed lands at the wrong place and it's not enjoyable at all to wear. Plus the edge of the shoe hits one of my toes (not any others - just one) so I'm constantly catching them. I ordered these hoping they would be unlike the others I've tried but sadly no. Going back.

I wear a 9.5-10, VERY narrow, and a very high instep. I loved the color of the shoe. I got the golden brown, loved the style of the shoe and with the buckle I could tighten it to just the right fit. The problem was the ridge in the shoe that comes across from the "thong" area. Hugely uncomfortable. Sorry to have to return them. I did order another style that has a toe holder, which worked out great.

Had to try it to believe it, but the plastic bit between your toes is really cheap and icky. "Flap" of leather on top of toes might take a bit of getting used to as well. Look good on but can't say I'd be able to walk around much. Bummer as I usually like Birks.

Had to send these back because my toes were uncomfortable at the edge of the shoe, and a larger size would not have worked for the rest of my foot.

My first pair of Birkenstocks at age 52. Okay, I guess my age qualifies me for the hippy generation, although I think of myself as more of a city girl than a hippy girl. But with all the rave reviews I decided to try these. I wanted a soft gold metallic sandal with most importantly 'comfort' and support for pounding the summer city streets. At first they felt good and supportive around the house. So took them outside for a stroll; trouble is after 5 blocks they started rubbing blisters on the bottom of my feet. The suede foot bed creates too much friction for a long walk in the summer heat. They're okay for a short stroll to the beach, but will not be a stalwart companion for the summer city streets.

Can't wear these shoes for very long. The thong portion is very uncomfortable. Was hoping they just needed to be broken in but after weeks of wearing them around the house I am giving up.

Great Purchase!
Great looking, comfortable sandal. A bit risky for me, but am so glad I purchased them! Not so sure I won’t have them in another color before long!

Great look, but totally uncomfortable -
LOVE the look of this sandal, but it has a fatal flaw: the hard plastic thong between the toes...

Is Zappos now a used shoe store?
Had to return the first pair of Birkenstocks I ordered because they had multiple blemishes in the footbed, as if they were worn. The second pair that I received today had toe marks on the footbed. No denying they were worn! And to add insult to injury, the $20 coupon for my troubles the first time around was never applied to this order.
Heading on vacation tomorrow with $99 pre-worn Birkenstocks from Zappos. I have no time to return. Yes, they are comfortable. But had to give 1 Star across the board for sending me used shoes two times in a row.
What is happening to Zappos?

I was very disappointed with this purchase. First, they are not leather. The fit is good but extremely uncomfortable. The plastic tab for the thong is very painful and makes these unwearable for long periods of time. I'm hoping that I'll be able to break them in. They look really nice!

The left shoe is defective because a staple is sticking out on the side that is against the foot. A previous customer put a sticky note on the shoe that pointed out it was defective because of the staple.
