My last pair of Birkenstock's were 20 years old & the leather straps had stretched so much they were finally unwearable.
My new ones arrived and are a perfect fit. Took a couple days to break in the leather straps & they now feel great. I use these as indoor shoes when home or visiting my daughter's home.
I wear a 9 narrow and the size 40 narrow/med fit perfectly.

These are magic shoes. I have never worn Birkenstocks before because I've always thought they were too ugly. But now I don't care. I have planter fasciitis and a Morton's Neuroma. My feet are usually miserable. I got these shoes a couple days ago, and they make a HUGE improvement in my daily functioning. My feet feel so much better. I purchased the narrow footbed version. I have very narrow feet. They are still a little too wide, but I can adjust the straps enough to make them work.

Ordered these for my husband and he loves them! The soft footbed is great for his low arches. Beautiful gunmetal color.

This is my 2nd pair. I have wide feet and order widest possible. "Birkies" as m family calls them. I have 3 young women who have their own pairs & some have multiple pairs. I recommend these as princess shoes because they are so comfy that I feel So Pamered wearing them, even all day long! I wear them in the rain & to West Coast and they held up. It's true love!

So comfortable, the foot bed has a soft cushioning, unlike past Birkenstocks that I have worn. I purchased the stone color, they look good with lots of different colors or just for comfort in the house. So far so good, and after a long day working on my feet, these are nice and massaging to slip my feet into. These replaced a well worn pair that I had for approximately 10 years.

Because I have always felt Birkenstocks were a little too "hippie chick" for me, I saw several people wearing them while in Mexico and decided to give them a try. Today is day 1 and I think I have to tighten the straps, but so far so good. They are quite comfortable, and I'm pretty much over my prior opinion. I think I look cool (even with bright green socks on!) I was wondering if I should have gone a size smaller (I'm normally an 8 or 8.5) but I definitely wouldn't want these to be too snug.

Love these Birkenstocks! If you have any wideness whatsoever to your feet the regular/wide pair is the way to go. If you look at the little drawing of the foot stamped into the foot-bed it is clear inside whereas the narrow one is filed in with gold. I order them in mens/unisex so my foot which actually measures between a C to D width fits entirely in the sandal with no hanging out on the edges or rubbing. Great sandal! Thanks Zappos for carrying them & delivering them so fast. Wish Birkenstock made more styles in the unisex/mens width, whereas the women's narrow width has so many more manufactured styles & choices.

I LOVE the Arizona soft foot bed! I wish my London Clogs were available with this option! I was able to wear these right away with no need to break them in. I love how fast Zappos shipped my order as well! I was wearing my new sandals less then 24 hours after ordering them!!

Classic B'stock fit... slightly different than their size chart. I'm a U.S. women's size 9 at least 99% of the time. But in Birkenstocks, I always wear a 39. A 40 has miles of space in front of my toes and behind the heel, making it weird looking and difficult to walk. But a 39 is perfect. (I also wear a 39 in Danskos.) The Black Amalfi leather is just divine. It's a little more stiff feeling than the Tobacco pair I bought at the same time, but not uncomfortably so. I'm just now wearing them, and it's my first time owning the soft footbed, so I'm excited to try that out. (They had me at soft!)

These are my second pair of birks and I love them! I own these and a pair of Mayari.
Soft footbed- right out of the box these things are quite comfortable. You don't really notice the toe bar or arch like you do with the regular footbed. They slip on and are comfortable from the get-go.
Sizing- to me, they run a size big. I wear a 7-7.5- usually a 7.5. I wear toms regularly and a 7.5 almost always fits. Because of that I ordered a 38 and they were way too long- I returned for the 37 and they are perfect. As for width- the regular fits me perfectly. I don't have wide feet but they definitely aren't narrow either. My feet are about 3.5" wide at the widest.
Comfort- as I said before, these are quite comfortable but the leather straps will take some breaking in. The strap nearest my ankle can feel like it's pressing into the top of my foot after a long day. It doesn't hurt exactly but it isn't comfortable. I do feel that once the leather is worn in that won't be a problem.
I broke my talus about 10 years ago and have a pin in my ankle- this causes massive ankle pain and swelling when I stand and shoes without support will leave me limping. I have experienced no pain from these at all.
Overall, these are stylish and comfortable and I recommend them!
