I'd gotten away from the classic Arizona style in the past few years, and these shoes are a good reminder of why I loved them in the first place. They're comfortable straight out of the box and they look adorable. I have Morton's neuromas in both feet and I also have uncooperative arches. I can stand and walk all day long at school without problems in Birks. I like the gold color with the big buckle. They're slightly snazzier than my usual brown leather. The gold and the buckles kick it up a notch.

Have not worn Birkenstocks in many years but wanted to give them another try. I read on Google that you have to start by wearing them an hour a day and increase the time for the next two weeks where they will feel comfortable as they form to your feet and your feet get used to them. So, it took about three weeks but they are oh, so very comfortable and supportive now that I went out and bought a second pair! They always look great with a pair of flared or bell bottom jeans or jean shorts. Very happy with them and I have noticed that my lower back does not hurt as often since I started wearing them.

I actually bought these in the leather alternative - apologies to my vegan friends. I get blisters very easily, especially in summer so needed leather. I measured my foot length and chose 3.5 in narrow fit. My shoe size is 4 (trainers 5). Was a little concerned they weren't long enough t'il I realised your foot needs to fit exactly into the 'indentations'. I'm now converted, they hold my foot securely, without rubbing or chaffing, I almost don't feel I have anything on my feet. Hopefully they will last as long as other reviews suggest 🤞🏼
