I thought the Buckley was cute and would be super comfortable for someone with a medium to narrow foot. I didn’t read carefully and ended up purchasing a narrow. I have a wide foot so I could barely put them on. I wish they would have a regular or wide! They are really cute shoes!

I LOVE these clogs! This is my first pair of Birks and I get the hype now.
The first time I put them on they were a little firm but after wearing for a few hours they fit like a glove. Definitely recommend these!

I love the feel, the style and the material of the Birkenstock Buckley. I also very much like the look of this shoe - it is not massive or clunkey looking and yet it has the true ifeel of a Birkenstock. I now have two pairs of these shoes and am on a wait list for the silver ones to arrive. I am a retired educator and substitute and need good support but will not relinquish style!! These fit my criteria.

I love Birkenstock sandals for the comfort so hoped these would work, but they caused blisters on the top of my feet where the strap rubbed.

Love these! Fit true to size. I normally buy the soft footbed in Birkenstock but these were just as comfortable.

Fit and size were fine. The problem is the photo shown on the website does not match the product I received. The photo shoes a smooth pink nubuck leather. The description says "embossed soft pink nubuck". When I received the shoes, I did research online and the embossed soft pink nubuck is NOT smooth pink leather (as shown on Zappos) but is the textured leather (as shown in my photo). I attempted to chat online with customer service and they were unable to understand the problem and simply wanted to send me another pair, while I wanted to know if the shoe in the photo (I now know is rose nubuck leahter) was available. I am extremely surprised that a product would be sold with the wrong photograph.

These shoes are so comfortable. Birkenstock tends to run large so I got the smaller size. I am a 6.5 and sometimes wear 7 so I got the 6 in these. They have a lot of arch support and don't slip off your feet when walking around. I wish they came in a lighter tan color but the tea color is nice.

I vowed in high school to never wear Birkinstocks, just based on style alone. Fast forward 30 years and I've recently broken a toe and can't get my foot in half my shoes. Read lots of reviews of Birkinstocks online about their comfort for people with foot problems, and decided to take the plunge. Really glad I did. This style isn't too bad. Doesn't make my feet look huge, like something the butler of the Addams Family would wear. Can easily get my swollen toes inside and can walk, almost without any discomfort at all. Like how it forms to my feet - so I've ordered some Birkinstock slippers and flip flops. To hell with style when you've got a broken toe! I normally wear an 8 medium, and opted for the 39 narrow and it fits great.

Just perfect. I ordered my usual 38 Narrow and it is wonderful. Enough room for thick socks when it gets cold here in Texas. My go to shoes for sure!!!

I have a regular width pair of moccasins, and they’re much much wider than these. The Buckley is only available in a narrow. If you have wide feet, these might not work for you. My feet are pretty standard, so the narrow Buckley is fine. Now when it comes to appearance, I’m smitten. These babies are the perfect 70s vibe for fall outfits... super cute with jeans, of course, but also adorbs with skirts/dresses. (They look cute with tights, too!)

these were a splurge, but made putting away my birk sandals for the long, dark winter less painful. my usual shoe size is 8-8.5 and on the narrow side of medium width. contrary to birk’s size charts, i find their 38n to be the best fit. ??this shoe was no exception.
i noticed some pokies ? (caused by a couple of coarse threads under the strap) as mentioned by other reviewers. my nail file took care of that little annoyance.
thanks to all of you who take the time to write reviews that help us pick the right size, etc. ...headed out the door to take m’new kicks for a walk...?

I love these! I wasn’t sure the narrow would work with thick socks for the winter, but they do. I’m so pleased. I normally were an 8 medium. I bought these in a 38 narrow. They fit like a champ. Yay, Zappos and Birkenstock!

The moment I saw these in an email, I careened over to the website to buy them. Initially I wondered about the Narrow size, since I'm usually happier with a C width in shoes; then I remembered that I gave away many pairs of Birkenstocks after I lost 130lbs because I couldn't keep them on my feet anymore. So, Narrow I'll try. And they are a great fit! The moment they were out of the box they were on my feet and I wore them all day. I've never had an issue with having to "break in" Birks and maybe that attests to their expertise in accommodating real feet in their shoes. For size, if you're interested, I usually wear a 9.5B/C in street shoes, sometimes a 9B/C in sandals. The 40s here are a good size for me. Enjoy! Such a classy yet "comfort is my mantra" shoe. Never thought I'd wear pink shoes at 66.

These are fantastic narrow shoes with good toe room (which my lovely feet love). But, my feet are extra narrow quad A or SS at the instep & at the heal, so I wore them quite a few days when at home before committing to them. Committing to keeping them entailed putting another hole in the strap & also cutting out the elastic band from under the tongue.
Now they are just right for my terrific skinny feet. Although my feet lack padding that some people naturally have I am much better off overall with a firm footbed.
Tried inserts before committing to my adjustments but they weren’t workable in this case.
So appreciate Birkenstock!

Gray taupe is just brown. There is NOTHING gray about them.
I like the shoe, bit wish the color really was gray taupe. Bummer.

Don’t pay any attention to the width of these. These are not narrow to medium at all on the width. They are wide and worked out great for my wide feet. I even had to go down a size. Love the style.

I was never a fan of Birkenstocks but I’ve since changed my tune. These are hip, cute, and oh so comfortable. After dealing with an ankle injury and a severe bout of plantar fasciitis, these have been my go-to-shoe. I can’t say enough great things about them. Well worth the money!

I really like the perforated look of these pink Buckleys. Super cute and perfect for California Fall/Winter. I got a compliment from a stranger the very first time I wore them! I do wish this style came in the soft footbed style -- the original cork insole in these, although it fits very well, will shorten the amount of time I will be able to wear them per day.

I really liked this Birkenstock Buckley shoe. It was a perfect fit for my thin foot. However, I am returning because just below the buckle area inside the shoe it constantly rubbed a small bone on the top of my foot and I could not adjust it out. Also, you will need to wear socks with this shoe as the inside upper is rough to the top of your foot. And I had to add a thin pad because it is hard to the bottom of the foot. Style wise and fit wise, very nice. Thanks again, Zappos, for your liberal return policy!

This shoe wasn't as cute in person as I had hoped it would be. The color was more tan than I was expecting. It looked darker online. I typically have to wear the soft footbed Birk's but had hoped to make the original footbed work with these. It just wasn't meant to be for me. I need the softer comfort of the soft footbed. Thanks to Zappos for their gracious return policy.

I normally wear a 38 in Birkenstock sandals and wanted something with the same supportive footbed to wear in cooler weather. I could barely get my feet into these. Also, I found that the cork footbed grabbed my socks and made it that much harder to get my feet into the shoes.

I ordered the dark blue-grey Buckley mule in my usual size 37 narrow. The fit is exactly as I expected based on my Arizona and Mayari sandals and my Gary oxfords. I am not usually a fan of suede and nubuck leathers here in the wet PNW. However for my use as a slipper, they are perfect. The foot bed is comfortable and smooth. My foot is low volume with a slender heel, and I haven't noticed any rough or uncomfortable areas in the shoe. They fit equally well with bare feet and with socks. Birkenstocks are my go to sandals, and my feet are very happy with these Buckley slippers! AND as always, Zappos is the best!

Ordered Birkenstock sandals in same size and they fit perfectly, width and length. These were so big I couldn't even keep them on with thick socks, no support compared to sandals.

These shoes are so cute online but they are so cheap looking in person. Birkenstocks have always been my favorite and I have worn them faithfully for the past 30 years. The mass production as of late seems to have caused the quality to be null and void. The stitching on the shoes is very cheap and they are very narrow. I have always worn a 40N but these run so small they wouldn’t go on my feet. So disappointing. This is the second pair of birks I’m returning :(

I love birenstocks but these didn't have the usual arch support of other styles. Disappointed with the fit and am returning.
