Customer Reviews Birki's Dorian (Birko-Flor™)

Cute shoes! Birkenstocks are usually short on cuteness, but these are actually attractive. And of course, there's the Birk comfort -- as other reviewers have written, Birkenstocks take some getting used to, so newbies will have to persevere. I do wish there were more than one color.

I love that these are Birko-Flor, Birkis synthetic upper, since I wear this style all year round, and suede/leather can be too hot in summer. I love the criss-cross straps, which I think look more feminine than the Boston, but are just as comfortable. I don't experience any break-in period any more, but new wearers may find they need to work up to a whole day in Birkenstocks. Be sure you have plenty of space (1/4" to 1/2") all around your foot in the shoe -- they will look too big but they aren't. I really like that Birkenstock will recondition your footbeds or replace your soles for a nominal cost to extend the life of your Birkenstocks. I wear these with skirts, jeans, dresses, with socks when I'm wearing pants, and tights when I'm wearing skirts, and think they are very cute and versatile.

Great Shoe. Perfect for my daughter who wears a 5 1\/2 narrow shoe. Cute, comfortable and stays on her foot. I was hesitant to spend so much money when she\'s going to grow out of it, but it is a high-quality shoe.

Being on my feet for work I knew would be needing \r\ncomfortable shoes and I got them ! These Birkis are just right.

MY FAVORITE!!! Size said narrow, but my feet are not and these fit perfect. If you haven't worn Birkenstocks, you need time to get used to them. They mold to your foot and get better each time you wear them. I'm a nurse and wear them to work. My feet don't hurt after 12+ hours, and everyday someone comments on my CUTE shoes!

Awesome shoe - The fit is great. I get lots of compliments on this shoe and wanting to know where I got it. I am a diabetic and my doctor recommends wearing Birkenstock because of the overall support for the entire foot.

Love this Birki, I have other Birkis, but this one stands out by itself because of the style and look. Really eye catching. I have a lower back problem and Birki gives me that arch support and comfort all day without experiencing any back ache.

excellent shoes - My first time getting Birkenstocks or any kind of cloggs. Very cute and comfortable, straps are adjustable and design is suburb. Very pleased.

Love, love... So the hubs got me the white valentine Dorian's for our 3rd anniversary, which is the leather one, so he said. I was so excited when I opened the box. I just loved them from the start and I love how they make a heart when I put the toes together, that made them even more special. As for comfort some people said it would take awhile to get used to them but I’ve been comfortable since the first time I put them on. Excellent on support if you’re a bit flat footed like me. I could not be happier with them.

Different but comfy - I love Birkis's shoes and this Dorian is a different style for me. The toebox has great room even with socks,and the adjustable straps make the shoes a tight or loose as you wish.I have worn it for about 6 hours so far and no problems or sore spots. Looks great with jeans

I love, Love, LOVE my Dorians! This style is so comfortable! I have high arches and they give such great support! I ordered them on a Monday and received them the next day - which was necessary because we were leaving the following day to go to an out-of-town wedding. I wore these to the wedding and reception. With all of the standing, and all of the dancing I did, I never got a blister, my feet felt great all night, and the next morning they felt great, too. The particular design on mine has a large red heart and roses and other cute drawings. I got a LOT of compliments (except that my mom turned her nose up at them) on them. I would recommend them 100%!

Dorian Paris Retro - These shoes were beautiful, comfortable, and I get lots of compliments. The color was slightly different from the online picture, but I was pleased. I had had trouble finding these in the regular width, so I was please Zappos had them. I previously ordered Earth Shoes from Zappos and I also get lots of compliments on those. Fast service is also appreciated.

Dorian rocks - Another Birkenstock that you just can't go wrong with. And another one my daughter wanted to steal!

Completely adorable. Runs a bit wide. I have worn their sandals for years. These and the Woodby both ran wide for me. I don't believe I have ever gotten to say that as I have wide feet. I actually reordered the narrow.

Birki's Dorian - I own quite a few Birki's, but for some reason my legs hurt wearing these. Not sure why except they feel like the heel is a little lower than the rest of the foot.

Dorian with red heart - Great comfortable shoe! I use them primarily at work; I'm a pediatric cardiac nurse...so these shoes are ideal! Well worth the hefty price tag! My only complaint is that they scuff quite easily and I wish there was some barrier that would protect the finish.

Very surprised - I've had other pairs of Birk's before. Mostly sandals and clogs, so I really thought these would feel great, since I'm on my feet a lot at work. It just wasn't so. They fit just fine and generally, walking around is fine. But, after 6 or more hours, my toes started hurting. Not cramped or tight, just sore. Even felt like the 'toe bar' was cutting off circulation to my big toes. I couldn't wait to get them off and put my feet up to release this feeling. I can wear them on short days, just not as long as I would have liked.

SO Disappointed! I LOVE Birkenstocks. I have about 15 pairs of sandals, but no clogs, so I thought I'd give them a try. OMG! I couldn't even get the straps shut. How disappointing. These are definitely not for folks with wide or "tall" feet!

I have these in black. These are my go-to work shoe. At work, I'm on my feet for hours at a time.

Having wide feet, finding shoes... especially in white... that are even remotely stylish is not an easy task. These shoes are adorable and kinda funky and very comfortable! Several reviewers mentioned (and thank you all for doing so) that they're a bit wider than normal, so I took their advice and ordered medium width and they fit my D-width foot perfectly! Love 'em!

I am a Registered Nurse and suffered with heel pain for years, since I am on my feet for eight hours a day. Birkenstocks were a lifesaver! After many pairs of 'Boston', I bought 'Dorian' and I love them! They are so cute!

I have this style in 5 color weighs and they are my most comfortable and stylish Birks. I've walked all over DisneyWorld in these. I highly recommend them. I wear them almost all year long, with socks and without. The double straps make them highly adjustable/customizable. They fit true to size -- I wear a 37 (6.5) -- and these are right on the money. And the Birkoflor upper makes them very easy to care for. Would love to see these on Zappos in more than one color.
