Customer Reviews Birkenstock Papillio by Birkenstock Arizona Platform Vegan Sandal

My despair of not being able to find cute shoes due to my plantar fasciitis has been thrown out the window with these babies! As a kid of the 90s who loved everything platform these are the shoes I have always wanted. Haven’t worn anything else since I got them.

Just terrible- hard and Uncomfortable . They don’t even seem to be real leather . Not happy with this partnership Birkenstock... consider making platforms on your own!

Love them! Thank you for going vegan, Birkenstock!

The upper part of these shoes ripped out from between the cork and sole. On both sides I just discovered. I kept twisting my foot and now I know why I am hoping gorilla glue will hold them together. I wish I had takes a photo before I had glued them so the underside of the upper and inside of the cork showed. Boo hiss.

I have a long, narrowish foot and these fit great. Adjustable straps helps my foot feel secure as done the molded foot bed. Most vegan leathers feel stiff and look plastic-y, but the these straps feel soft against my skin and look nice. I hope they age well. Surprisingly, I find the Arizona platform more comfortable than the regular Arizona. Probably since it absorbs more of the shock.

Love the platform!

Love them! Add a platform and I’ll wear anything even Teva’s?

The soles are rather stiff, probably due to their thickness. Fun to wear.

I was a little afraid these wouldn't be comfortable. They are pretty nice! Not as nice as my regular Birks, but I like the platform. I can walk all day without issues. The vegan leather is particularly nice. I hadn't anticipated this.

I generally love Birkenstocks and almost always have a pair in my closet. I loved the idea of getting a little height boost while wearing a tried and true comfort brand! I understood when purchasing that it was a vegan sandal, but the material felt very stiff and cheap and I wasn't sure it would soften up at all. It is built on the narrow Birkenstock last, and I found it to be too narrow for my average foot. I will stick to original, leather Birkies for now!

Super uncomfortable. I can't imagine anyone walking in these for a prolonged period of time. There is no flexibility to the sole. The bottom also felt slippery (on a hardwood floor)... RETURNED!

I love these shoes. I am not a fan of the hippie vibe of Birkenstocks, but my problem feet say otherwise. I am also vegan and really appreciate this style. It is a bit cuter and more fashionable than standard Birkenstocks with the platform sole. I found them stiff out of the box but wore them for about an hour and was sold. I now do not want to wear anything else! Hands down the most comfortable shoe I own and I wish I could wear them all the time.

No where on the shoe does it say Birkenstock.

Great sandal, fit is perfect and so cute!!!

I get compliments every time I wear them but that’s not the best part. Wearing them is the best part. I have multiple issues with my feet and noon when wearing these.

Firm and great support for home while I heal a fracture. They don't stretch out like the leather options. Lots of compliments.

I have worn these sandals all summer long. They are exceptionally comfortable and durable. I am thrilled with the vegan materials. I received many compliments from strangers on these platform Birkenstocks. Hopefully the brand will come out with more colorways of this stylish shoe.

I’ve been researching sandals that would help with my plantar fasciitis and mostly everyone says these are the best and the reviews are very positive. I was hesitant because they are so expensive but to me when a shoe is comfortable from the first time you put them on then it’s worth it. I wear a 9.5 and purchased a 9 and they fit perfect.

These are my favorite birds! So comfortable and they broke in very quickly. They will definitely be my go to summer sandal.

They fit well. A bit more narrow than I thought they would but comfortable.

I’ve been wearing them a lot. Very comfortable

fit and size are spot on: i ordered 39 for 8.5 regular shoe size. very comfortable immediately upon wearing them, no breaking in necessary. love the platform. simple and elegant.

Wish there was more variety in color and wish real leather was back

Very cute and this-year stylish with the platform, but the all-plastic was a total deal breaker. So hard and uncomfortable, I could feel where the blisters and “hot spots” would happen before taking a single step. They do run true-to-(European)-size, but as the “narrow” fit my “B” width foot perfectly I can only assume they are unisex sizing? Sadly, back they go. If there is ever an all-leather platform version, I will try again. Hugely over-priced for the material used btw:-(.

I can't believe this shoe is allowed to carry the Birkenstock name. It is extremely narrow (and I have an narrow foot) and is hard as a brick. Even if you could get over them being narrow, there is absolutely zero flex in the bottom and the straps are like PVC plastic they are so rigid. I walked in them on my carpet and within 5 minutes the top of my foot was starting to bruise. They are adorable, but they are the most uncomfortable shoes from a brand that prides itself on comfort.
