A gift for my mother. She was very pleased with the fit, extremely comfortable & good looking shoe. Had purchased the Arizona but at her age she felt she need more support.

These shoes fit true to size and are so cute and comfortable. I hope Birkenstock comes out with more shoes like this.

I have worn Birkenstock sandals for many decades and always wear 37 Narrow. I bought these shoes in that size and they are much too large. They fit somewhat OK with socks but without socks, my feet were "swimming" in them. They are nice shoes but just didn't fit.

These fit exactly like my Arizona birks! I ordered the same size as I always wear in Birkenstock’s, and I have several different styles of birks! I hesitated not sure I would like them but they are super cute and comfortable right out of the box. I wear a 42 in birks and I was afraid my feet would look huge, but they did not, glad I finally got them!

The sizing options for this shoe threw me a bit as they offered "chunks of sizes" and not the traditional euro options. I first ordered according to my 6-6.5 choice in shoes but sent them back. Ordered the 5-5.5 and it fit perfectly. These are a great casual close toed full heel coverage for anyone that loves Birk sandals. Got the nude/beige but considering ordering the blue as well :)

This was a different Birk purchase for me. The way they offered sizing was different and I actually ordered more like I would running shoes etc.. I ended up sending the first pair back and trying again with the smaller option. So glad I did. They came as my regular "36" in a Birkenstock and fit perfectly. So comfortable and I love that the tan falls in the line of "nude" as far as style goes. Works with jeans, dresses and leggings.

Im usually a size 39 in this brand so I ordered my size and that fit great with room for thin to medium thick socks in the colder months. These are adorable to lounge or dress up, with anything ( jeans, shorts, slacks, dresses etc). It's just my style! Comfortable and stylish.. I love my purchase and I saved money on an original.

I loved the look of these slip-ons and found the footbed super comfortable and easy to slide on. My only complaint—which was a deal-breaker—was that they pressed down on my big toes. The top of the shoe slopes down to the footbed, so if you have big toes that turn up at the ends like me, these will not work for you like the Boston style will. Sizing up will not fix this problem, as the heel cup and arch support will not be in alignment, and the problem is not with length, but toe clearance. so sad. Otherwise, these would have been perfect.

I love the look of these shoes, but the upper part of these shoes are not as soft as the Birkenstock Gary that I have. They feel very stiff and not as comfortable, which is disappointing because I had expected them to match the other model's softness.

Fit was too tight! With all that side it was difficult to put these on. The length and width of the sole looked correct. Just far, far too snug. I did try a related shoe - Gary. It’s th Oxford option. That pair of shoes fit better. Clearly, they had been sent and returned a few times. Box shoes wear and fade. Shoes were missing the tissue normally found inside the shoes. I write all of that because the tightness has much more ease. So possibly with wear the loafer would loosen too. I’m not willing to take the chance with blisters. A sick would help but that suede made that an impossible task. Too expensive to try messing around with them and risk blisters.

Got same size as my Birkenstock Arizona's. Twice I have to send them back, because they just don't fit.

Delicious design. I absolutely love this shoe. There's enough room in the size 39 narrow to wear socks if worn in tje colder months. I can wear these all year round. Love this!

Really cute, but they hit the bones in the bottoms of my feet in the wrong spot so they won't work for me. Well made, great support, didn't look overly huge (I ordered a 42; I'm typically a women's size 11-12 depending on brand/style). The width was perfect for me but the length felt just a little too short for my long feet. One other thing: they were difficult to slip into - the backs aren't rigid so with the soft suede, folded inward; I had to move the back of the shoes into place around my feet with my hands - definitely (for me) not easy-on, easy-off.

As others have said, if you order your usual size, it's very hard to get them on.

Love the brand and the style but the sides, back towards the heel, were too high. Rubbed uncomfortably up against the ankles bone. Tried heel inserts but made the fit too tight across the top of my foot.

I needed a light, casual shoe for summer that was comfy but nicer than a sneaker. The soft suede and overall feel and style of this shoe are perfect. Since I’m right between size 39 and 40 I opted for the 40 and added a little extra padding in the footbed for a good fit. The natural materials allow my feet to breathe.
