Birkenstock Women's Sandals Flip Flops

These sandals were exactly what I have been wanting! Birkenstock sizes are a little off, so if you have the chance to try them on in a store I would do that to find your correct size. I am usually a 7.5-8, and I ordered the size 38. I was waiting to write a review of these sandals until I broke them in. I've had them about a month now and they are finally broken in!! The toe post is definitely a little bothersome at first, and the rivet on the underside of the strap that holds to toe post in place leaves a small black stain on my foot from the black painted coating it had. The trick to getting these to fit most comfortably is making sure your foot is placed properly in them - which means your heel should be at the aback of the shoe, even if you have shorter toes that don't reach as far as you'd like (my big toe is a little short, but my other toes line up nicely). Be prepared to experience some pain while breaking these in. I started off by wearing them just a couple hours a day around the house, then slowly built up as they became more broken in. You will know when they are broken in as the shape of your foot will be completely imprinted, and the shoe conforms to the shape of your foot. At week 2 I wore them for several hours on a walk around downtown, and that was a mistake! Lots of blisters to prove it. There is tons of information online about breaking these in and taking care of them properly. It's definitely best to take your time breaking these in, but with that being said, these sandals are AWESOME now that I have put in the hours to break them in. I love the neutral color of the tobacco and I can say these are 100% authentic Birkenstock sandals. So happy with my purchase!

I was a bit worried about the 'silver' color but it is good. It is a true neutral silver that blends well with pastels...blue, lavendar, pinks and greens.. It is not a bright sparkel finish but a soft silver and gives me as much flexibility as my off white snake skin of opalescenc. These are great neutrals!! Love them.

So great for narrow feet!!! <—-and I can’t emphasize that enough!! I always thought of Birkenstocks as being a wide sandal, and have never tried them before. I was delighted when I saw they offer several narrow styles, but I was still skeptical...because I am someone who can try on every pair of cute shoes/sandals/boots in the store and have every. single. pair be too wide.These are SUPER comfortable too! When they were brand new, I wore them walking all around Boston on our “baby moon” while 28 weeks pregnant and my feet felt great. I’ve also worn them walking all day at Disney World. They’ve become my go-to sandal every day in the summer!

I am getting older and the cheap plastic flip flops just don't work for me anymore. The Birkenstocks, however, are my favorites. They offer the support I need. For me personally, I could walk a marathon in these. I wore these on a long trip straight out of the box. I've never had any problems and these are about my fifth pair. Great shoes for long travels! Great for everyday use!

I ordered a size 39 which I have had in other brands. I'm a true size 8 with medium width foot and these were to loose on my foot. Great Birkenstock quality as usual. Just watch your size. Returned and bought another pair size 38 locally. Needed on vacation.

Hands down my favorite summer shoes. I wear almost every day and they are so comfortable. Great arch support and they still look brand new.

I love these Birkenstocks now, but there was a period of adjustment due to the larger toe thong. I did get some blisters initially which almost made wearing the Birks unbearable, but now they fit like a glove. I never want to take them off! Some background information - my shoe size is an 8 1/2. I purchased size 39 which corresponds to the U.S. 8 - 8 1/2. When putting on the Birks for the first time, it is important to make sure to undo the straps, place your heel in the heel bed, and then tighten the straps accordingly. I found that if I tightened the straps it didn't allow my foot to slide around as much. At first I had them looser and I think that is what really ended up causing the blisters in between my toes.

I own about 10 pair of Birkenstock’s; love them. The quality speaks for itself. This is my first patterned pair and they are adorable. They were not shipped in the original box and that’s ok; they had not been worn. The shipping took a little longer but the shoes were well packaged. Great product!
