Customer Reviews Birkenstock Larisa

I love the style of these shoes. Everyone comments on how they are the perfect feminine version of Birk. They are my first pair of Birkenstocks though and I'm not blown away by the comfort yet. They are comfortable, just not amazingly so. I usually wear a size 7.5 and the 37 fits perfect in length, but is slightly narrow for my foot. For the first week they left black dye on my foot that easily washed off in the shower.

I love the style of these sandals, but the leather is so stiff that it hurt across my toes. I wear Birkenstocks all the time and this is the first time a pr. were uncomfortable. I am sorry I must return them.

I would keep these, except that Zappos doesn't sell them in a small enough size. In every other instance, I am a 36 or a 5.5 or 6. However, the 36 in this sandal feels like it's one half to a full size too big! Same goes for another pair of Birkenstocks I just ordered, so maybe it's just something about size inflation with the brand?

I have been an avid Birkenstock owner and wearer for over 20 years, in fact I prefer them over any shoe. However, this sandal is very hard and uncomfortable. Usually I can slip the sandal on and love them, but due to the extreme rigidness of this leather, it will be awhile before these are broken in and comfortable. The style is very cute though for those looking for something different.

These are really pretty, but too uncomfortable across the tops of the feet to be kept, as I won't be able to wear them long enough to potentially break in the leather as others say they have. Sadly I must return them.

These are my first Birkenstocks. I've been wearing them every day, much or most of the day for a month now and they still feel uncomfortable. My feet ache by the end of the day. The placement of the strap across the metatarsals is making a small tailor's bunion that's never been painful before really hurt. I'm keeping the faith and will hope that one day they magically become the amazingly comfortable sandals everyone says they are but, seriously, this is not going well.

I do not usually write reviews but I ordered both colors of these shoes in two different sizes since I wear an 11 and have narrow feet. I did no like either one to be honest. These shoes just did not feel like Birkenstocks on my feet, they felt kind of flimsy and I did not think they were very flattering. Even though I have narrow feet (I always wear narrows or slims), these sandals made my feet look kind of wide and I definitely would not wear them with a skirt or capris unless it was super casual. So they just do not serve my needs. They would be much better with shorts or jeans.

I loved these shoes but the front strap is tearing and I don't know how to get it repaired. I had them just under a year, Zappos offered to replace it but don't have the shoe anymore. I thought Birkenstocks were guaranteed. ):

I always love Birkenstocks. Have had multiple broken bones in both feet -- Birkenstocks and New Balance are the only shoes that I can wear. With all that said -- I did not like these Birkenstocks at all. I was specifically looking for the two separate bands as my bling-birkies from about 6 years ago are starting to look a little, ummm, worn-every-day-looking (just because they have been is irrelevant!). These Birkenstocks were miserably uncomfortable from the instant I put them on. The bands are extremely hard leather and would have created blisters on my feet within minutes had I allowed them. I adjusted the buckles several times thinking I just wasn't getting them settled correctly onto my feet. Nope. The leather from these shoes were made from some dang tough cows is all I have to say. Sad about returning a pair of Birkis but these ones were unlike any other pair I've ever owned. I gave them one star in everything.
