Typically Great Birkenstocks and Fast Delivery
I placed my order on January 1st, and these Birkenstocks were at my door on the afternoon of January 3rd. First time I've tried the soft footbed, and so far, they feel great. Can't see any reason why they won't give me years of walking comfort, as all my past Birkies have done. I've been wearing their shoes since I was in college back in the 70s, and as I get older, and my feet have developed issues like plantar faciatis (from wearing other kinds of shoes without great support), it's always a pleasure to slip on a pair of these timeless comfortable shoes.

Love them. Why did I wait so long, when I could of felt this comfy years ago.
I love these from the very first time I pulled them out of the box. They arrived at my office and I put them on immediately and wore them all day with zero problems. No breaking in time. I bring both my Huskys to work with me and take them on random walks through out the day without any problems from my new Birkenstocks. I love them so much. They are like comfy slippers but look super cute on. After a run I cant wait to put these on again. I'm a constant size 8 and ordered them in dark brown in a 38 N (narrow) since I wanted them to look more chic, and they fit me perfectly( I do have a high arch). I probably couldn't wear them with socks though(bummer) its that perfect of a fit for me. I want to buy another pair maybe in black and I'll try a 39 N this time cuz the idea of wearing them with socks in the winter sounds cozy. But I live in Southern California so wearing them without socks is something I can do year around. As long as you get the perfect size you will love them. I figure N is for women and M is more ideal for men.

Only had them a week and they already feel like I've owned them for years
I bought my first pair of Birkenstock sandals about 4 years ago on sale at the mall. They were the Gizeh model, very cute. They eventually molded to the shape of my foot and became my default shoe ever since. Eventually I wore out the sole, and now I'm even wearing out part of the cork, so I decided to buy a new pair. (I know I can get the old ones repaired, but I really wanted a pair of Arizonas as well--plus if I repaired the old shoes without having a new backup pair, whatever would I wear?) When I bought my first pair on Amazon I had no idea about the different widths (narrow vs. regular). I didn't even pay attention to what my old sandal had said, whether the little foot icon was filled in (indicating narrow width) or just an outline (regular). And now all the writing is worn out in them, so I can't tell either way. I figured since I'm a regular width in everything else, I'll buy my usual size (women's 7.5 equals 38 in Birkenstock). So I bought a 38M at first, but that was a mistake. They were so wide on me! And I don't buy narrow sizes in any other shoe. So I instead went for a 38N (which if I had read, is suitable for A-B widths, and most women's shoes are B width). They are PERFECT! As soon as I tried them on I loved them. The synthetic Birkibuc material is comfortable and stylish, and the stone color goes with anything. My coworker even thought they were leather! And now I can totally rock that "hippie socks with sandals" look. SO fashionable.

Thank you for offering them in my size!
These are excellent shoes and it is so rare to find them in my size! They fit well and I haven't worn another pair of shoes since they arrived. I usually have trouble with my feet and need orthotics, but not with these shoes. I have another pair I bought 2 summers ago, and I feel these are more supportive, so I believe they do not last more than 2 years without getting too worn out to wear if you wear them regularly.

THE TRUE REASON BIRKS WERE CREATED, ALIENS CROSSBREED CORKS AND COWS!!!!!!!
When your the leader of the MAFMA (Middle Aged Fat Mans Association), your screaming arches need all the help they can get. Thus the true reason Birks were made. You may hear differently, but No, they were made because a Fat Mans fallen arches. You can say that once our arches have fallen, that they be come our enemy, ( I give you a second get that one). I started wearing Birks when I was a middle aged teen, I was not fat back then, just really husky. If you still haven't figured it out, that was a reference too Arch Enemies a couple of sentences. I was once as slow as you but Birkenstocks changed that from me. They helped not only speedup my mind, but also my walking pace. Just think you can buy a set of these beauties, put them on and your brain will speed up, maybe, even up too the speed of my pace. A pair of Birks really is the best treat you can get for your feet. Men, once you place your order, run out and get a mani-peti, so you look super cool when you put your Birks arrive, and you first step in to that corked cloud of comfort. So in a nut shell, all I have to say is, BUYEM,BUYEM,BUYEM,BUYEM,BUYEM,BUYEM,BUYEM,BUYEM,BUYEM...........Did that get my point across, or did it just make things to weird between us.ANYwhoo, that my review, the ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS.

Narrow runs a little different
This sandals are super cute! As expected from Birkenstock these are great quality. I have never ordered Narrow from Birkenstock (or any shoe really) and I felt that I needed a bigger size. I own two pair of Birkenstocks in size 38 Reg and they fit fabulously, but the narrow 38 felt a little compact in the toe area once I began to walk (my second toe is a bit long)...I usually wear a size 8 in other brands.
