I feel like Cinderella finding her size 8.5 glass slipper!
You know that feeling you get when you try something on and know instantly that it's perfect? I got that with these sandals. When I finally decided to spring for a pair of Birks after months of agonizing over it, I got off to a rocky start. I bought and returned 2 other pairs before these beauties arrived to save the day. First, maybe it would help to know that I'm a female in my mid 30's, I wear a true size 8.5, have very high arches and feet perhaps slightly wider than average, at least in the toe box region. In fact - true confession - I had a bunion removed a few years ago from years of wearing shoes that were too narrow for my feet. Back to Birkenstock shopping. I wanted something super comfortable and casual, but also cute (for a Birkenstock), and in a color and style that would go with as many of my clothes as possible. The first pair I ordered were the classic Arizona style, iron oiled leather in a 38N. The fit was pretty good, but the color was way off from the picture. They were brown, not even close to grey. Not only that, but after trying them on started to feel like they were a little too chunky and masculine looking for what I wanted (at least on me), so I sent them back and ordered a pair of the Arizona sport style. I was hoping that the white buckles and accents would make them a little cuter and more feminine looking than just the classic Arizona. Indeed they were cuter, but the color choices in that style are so limited and I instantly knew that they were too bright and wouldn't go with as much clothes-wise, plus all those cute white accents drew far more attention to my feet than I wanted. Also, I started to think the M might be even more comfortable for my feet than the N size, especially in the heel. When I ordered this style in plain black and 38M I literally crossed my fingers when I clicked the purchase button. I am SO HAPPY now that I have these! They are the PERFECT fit (glad I went with the M over the N, though the difference is subtle)! I was worried that the piece in between the toes would chaff and rub but it doesn't at all. The strap width is just right, not too thick, not too thin. They are classy and cute and definitely more feminine and a little less unisex hippy than the Arizona style, plus they were cheaper! I really am in love with these sandals and know that we'll be happy together for a very long time. (Don't mind the shabby state of my toenails in these pics, it's the end of winter here and I haven't gotten a real pedi yet).UPDATE: Don't fret if the piece of sole that sticks up under the big toe feels a little bit "much" at first. People have commented that it is too high and feels uncomfortable. I never thought it was uncomfortable but I did certainly notice it at first. Within a few weeks I didn't notice it at all! They really do conform to your feet!

Incredible Quality For Synthetic Materials
I do not usually but any sort of synthetic leather or wear synthetic materials on my feet (my concern is durability), but these were a surprising find. I wore them for a month living in India, and they held up well to all the things I tend to do there: long-distance walking was comfortable and not having to break the leather in was actually a blessing (I usually wear leather Birks when in South Asia); synthetic upper has a bit of softness underneath, making the sandals comfortable right out of the box (and the sole break in more bearable); I hand washed them several times (not because I'm crazy, but because you kinda... step in terrible things sometimes when just wandering the streets), without the materials breaking down.The toe strap is nice looking and comfortable and the overall design is just enough rugged and stylish for doing things that are not really the best to do in open toed shoes, but you have a reason or desire to wear such. I am always pleased when EU sizing is used on shoes, as I always manage to match that perfectly, while US sizes seem to vary widely. My foot fit perfectly in the bed and the ridged edge made me feel more secure against accidental bumps or excessive ground waste or dirt.Overall, I am very happy I got these instead of the much more expensive leather styles I was considering. I don't wear open toed shoes in the US, but will save these for my next excursion.

I have Narrow Feet but go with Regular/Wide style for you
I originally bought Narrow in my size. They were to Narrow and very uncomfortable. I had to return. So I went with the Regular/Wide and they are comfortable and fit perfect.

"Used" but basically brand-new!
I bought these sandals knowing they were "Used", but in good condition. I was skeptical, but thought I'd give them a chance as I love this style of Birkenstock sandals - and they were my size! The price was great, and they are truly brand-new sandals. The packaging was not original, and I believe that was the only issue. The soles were not dirty or scuffed at all! I would definitely by "used" (but listed as "good condition") again from Amazon after this great experience! I have to say - Amazon is really honest about giving descriptions on "used" items and their condition. Loving these sandals as much as my last pair, especially at the great discounted price.As far as the sandals go, if you're searching for a sandal that is comfortable for a lot of walking, and one that provides great arch support, look no further!

So good for your feet!
Wore Birks years ago when my kids were small. Haven't had a pair in about 15 yrs. Have had trouble with my feet in recent years. From bone spurs to achy sore feet. I have large feet with a high arch. Saw a coworker with a cute pair of birkenstocks on and that day I ordered them..a lot cheaper on Amazon than on the Birkenstocks website.. I'm on my feet a good part of my work day.. put them on as soon as they came in and I haven't taken them off! Amazing! Feet feel great, they're stylish and I love how they feel..I had forgotten how comfy birks can be. So nice that they are more affordable on Amazon. Thanks!
