Customer Reviews Birkenstock Sibyl by Papillio

I’m a HUGE Birkenstock fan and was all about trying a wedge version of my favorite shoe and I must say I’m pleasantly surprised how comfortable these sandals are . I typically wear a 36 in traditional birks but wear 37 in clogs for work so I thought I’d go with the 37 and I’m glad I did . The fit is perfect . As a little hack i will take a nail file and just lightly go over the edges of the straps to soften the edges and it always works like a charm . My feet feel happy in these shoes and am looking forward to wearing them on vacation with some summer dresses and jeans . I don’t know why I never pulled the trigger before .

I loved the style of these and knew they would be comfortable as Birks, but when I saw the width was marked “narrow”, I had my doubts that they would work for me. I normally wear a 6W or a 6.5 regular width, sometimes a 7 in boots, and Zappo’s recommended the 37 for me, so I went for it against my judgement. When I took them out of the box they did not appear narrow at all. My wide foot fit perfectly, (maybe half a size too long in the back, but not unacceptably long for my short, stumpy foot). I’ve mistakenly put them on a looser hole, and then i do get a bit of sliding forward, but the ankle strap is not rough or binding on my ankle so it’s easily solved by wearing on the tightest hole. I’ve worn them all day two days in a row and my feet are just as happy at the end of the day. They look great with capri pants, dresses, and jeans, and I think they’ll look great with shorts too! If you have a wide foot, don’t be dissuaded. They’re great!

I hate wearing any type of heel, but if I have to, I will opt for a wedge. These were like walking on a cloud! So comfy! Only issue is the top strap felt a little too roomy, but everything else was A+.

I just got these yesterday and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I normally wear a wide, and when I saw they were marked “narrow” i doubted they would work for me, but they fit and feel great so far! The only caveat is the ankle strap has to be on the tightest hole, otherwise my foot slides forward. But even on the tightest, they feel comfy and stable. They look great with dresses and I think they will work well with shorts as well.

Better than I could hope for. Does not feel like a heel at all, so stylist and comfortable. I could walk for hours, look a bit "fancy" and feel like I'm wearing flats. The strap across the toes does take a bit to soften at first.

Very cute sandals that also feel great to wear! They are very stable even with the higher heel height. The only thing is the front strap is slightly wide for my narrow foot but the ankle strap can be adjusted so they feel comfortable. The front strap is positioned well in that it does not reveal the full length of my toes, a bonus!

The sandals are very soft. Nothing in the strap rubs or irritates my skin. I wear a 39 in sanita, dansko, & birks, and 38 in troentrop. The 39 in these fit well. I have a high arch but my foot is overall narrow and small in circumference. I was afraid my feet might still slide in these even though they are listed as narrow. I have the straps on the second to tightest so I know I can tighten once more if they stretch. I can’t walk in heels but I like the height the above brands give me so I tried these to have dressier shoes with height. I am very pleased with this purchase. As far as style goes, you are either into this style or not.

This was my first time buying a shoe by Birkenstock as these were the first really cute ones I've seen. They were beautiful and really well made. Unfortunately I am a true size 5 and the 36 was just too long to justify keeping them. Wish they'd make a 35.

Have worn about 5 days now. The bottom strap cuts into my pinky toes on both feet - which is not my norm with Birks, Papillion or other brands. Stylish but really need to be broken in.

Very cute wedge. A little tight on my pinky toe but I did choose to size down from a 40 to a 39 as my narrow foot does tend to need a smaller size in sandals. Overall comfy though and I’ve worn all day at work and all evening at a concert without blisters

I normally buy Vionics since they're the only brand I can wear comfortably all day, but I've never been terribly impressed with their styles. So this time I thought I'd try Birks because they're generally very supportive and come in much cuter styles. Unfortunately while I love the style of this sandal, they don't measure up in comfort to my Vionic wedges. I'm a drama teacher and on my feet all day, and I hardly ever know I have the Vionics on. These Birkenstocks have rubbed a blister on my pinky toes and don't support my arches as well. I can wear them comfortably for maybe 6 hours as opposed to 12. Guess I'm still holding out for the Vionic-Birkenstock crossovers!

What a wonderful and classic sandal. Sooo very comfortable. Just the right amount of height. The sole hugs my foot like a dream. The only downside is the leather straps are a bit stiff, but taking a nail file to the edges softened it up just enough. I bought these in brown and they go with pretty much everything.

I love these shoes. I didn't think I could wear high heels without my feet hurting. The Birkenstock Sibyl are so comfortable and look great. They are my go to shoe with jeans or a dress.

These shoes are very comfortable! I shopped at the mall with them all day and my feet never hurt. I am a solid size 9, I wear a size 39 in these shoes.

Love these! They look like heels but are super comfortable. I can actually wear them all day long and don't feel like I'm dying.

I have a problem with my metatarsal joint on my left foot, but this sandal didn’t bother it. They are quite comfortable, and the first time I wore them I was on my feet a lot but my feet felt great. The gold buckle isn’t my favorite, but otherwise I like the style and I can overlook if for the comfort.

love them. looks like a “heel” but fits like a comfortable flat.

Loved these right out of the box. Loved the look and perfect fit with out the bulky look of a typical Birkenstock sandal. Highly recommended!

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

the shoes fit perfect. glad I invested in a good pair of shoes!

I wear a 7-7.5 in shoes but for these I had to size down to my usual Birkenstock size which is a 6-6.5 (37). They are super comfortable and soft. No breaking in required. Love them!

They feel comfortable right out of the box!

I am loving these shoes I have two pairs now. I am a hairstylist and these have been the best for my long days . They have great arch support and the leather softens and they are so comfortable definitely an all day walking shoe! I go down a size in this shoe and they fit perfectly.

The shoes fit like a glove and I am happy with it.

I normally wear a 7 and purchased a 7, but they were more like a 7.5 and though billed as narrow, these were wide. I wear an average/medium width and these were were way too wide for me. Not a bad shoe, but the sizing is way off.
