Customer Reviews Birkenstock Franca - Leather

It took about a week to break them in but they are so comfortable now!

Fit and size were perfect. I especially like Birkenstock’s.

cute feminine style, same Birk quality and comfort

I love the design they will go with any clothes. They are also comfortable!

I bought these after two pairs of busted Mayaris. I like the style a lot and purchased narrow due to the reviews. They dress up well and don’t look too clunky. So far so good!

Comfortable strap placement gives a snug fit similar to Arizona and Florida styles. Had to return because slightly too big.

Good

I really like my new shoes!! They’re my third pair of Birkenstocks so I knew I would like the quality. I don’t like the traditional “hippie” big buckle style that Birkenstock’s are known for, so these were perfect. I like the fact that they can be fitted to my feet correctly at 3 different places.

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.

I love these Birkenstock’s. They are a little lighter than the oiled brown leather in the photo. I didn’t mind because I actually like the color better, but if you want the ones pictured I would not order these.

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!

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.
