Love these Birks! I usually wear an 8, so I ordered the size 39s. These were too big, so I exchanged them for a pair of 38s, which fit perfectly. I've worn thong sandals my whole life, so I haven't had any issues with the toe divider. For those new to Birkenstocks, it's worth noting that these shoes will feel great at first, followed by a period of adjustment (the footbed takes the shape of your foot) that might leave you with sore arches for a day or two. After this, you'll be in footwear heaven! I think these look a whole lot more fashionable and feminine than the ubiquitous Arizona (two large strap) style Birks. A caution: you WILL get stinky Birk feet after a few weeks. I stick my sandals in the freezer overnight to kill any stinky germs and dust with cornstarch or baking soda. I've heard kitty litter works well, too.

Ok, well, don't believe it when they tell you the Birkibuc looks just like suede. Or feel like it for that matter. Other than that these are the same old comfortable, long-lasting Birks you know and love.

These are wonderful versatile sandals. They are solid and supportive and don't flop around. They hug my foot perfectly. I think they are stylish, too! (They do seem to run a size larger - so I had to order down one size.)

I love these sandals. The Mocha is a wonderful neutral, and the Birkibuc upper is flexible and very soft on the foot. This was my first pair of Birkenstocks. I now have 3 more on the way. I have extremely flat feet and suffer from heel, ankle, hip, and lower back pain. These sandals were instant relief almost as soon as I put them on. I never bought the original Arizona style as I thought they were a little frumpy looking for someone under 30 like me, but these are way cute. They look much better on the foot than in the pictures. Also, a good rule of thumb is to take your American Women's size and add 30 to determine your Euro Women's size. I am a size 6 and ordered the size 36; they are a perfect fit. If you are new to Birkenstock like me, give these a shot, you will love them!

What can I say, for years I refused to buy Birkenstocks. Until I had surgery on my foot last year, now I own 4 pairs and searching for more. I own these (Gizeh) in both Mocha and in White. I love them. They are perfect, your feet and ankles will thank you. The fit is great, you can adjust the buckles for a custom fit, and the foot bed is fantastic! I will give just a word of advise, always size up if you are a half size to allow your feet room to flex while walking. Please try them, I think you will love the comfort and style. And one last thing: Zappos delivery is awesome. Thanks Zappos!

I am a US size 6 to 6 1/2 and ordered the first pair and it was one full size larger. It seems like the heel area is longer than the toe Box area. For example this would be a good fit if you had longer heels and shorter toes. It seems like my heel is short and my toes are little longer, so the ball of my foot is rubbing against the supporting arc. There's extra room behind my heel as well. Kind of an awkward fit but still very comfortable the straps and the arch support feel good and snug. The sole is very hard but I've only been wearing it for one day so we will see after I break them in.

These are the best. It took a while to get used to the front toe board - I tripped a lot, especially going up sets of stairs, but now they're super comfortable. Still a 5 overall. I wore them all summer long and late into the fall! I get compliments all the time.

I love these shoes! I get some grief from others about wearing Birkenstocks but they are super comfy and look great dressed down with jeans or dressed up with a sundress. I found them to run small; I am normally a 6.5 and bought a 35.

Love my Birkenstock shoes. Have had foot problems for the past 8 months and foot felt better once I started wearing them. Size was a perfect fit and style is great. Have had lots of compliments.

I have REALLY flat feet and I think that these are the MOST comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They FORCE me to walk correctly, and after I take them off, I feel as if I've gotten an awesome leg work out. I plan on buying more colors ASAP. Also, it's worth noting that the toe separator did NOT bother me.

Loved these from the moment I put them on. I'm used to flip-flops/thong sandals, so the hard plastic between the toes wasn't an issue...in fact, it doesn't feel uncomfortable to me at all. I have arthritis in both feet and needed something with more support than my trusty old flip-flops. These are the answer to my summer sandal dilemma...now if Birkenstock can just come up with a comfy AND stylish shoe for fall/winter, I'll be in business. :) Oh, and order a size SMALLER than you would...I'm normally a 7.5 and had to exchange for the 37 (6-6.5 US).Thanks for the great service, Zappos!!!

My new favorite shoes - These are very comfortable shoes, but they do take a little getting used to. I had sore calves the first few times I wore them, but after I was accustomed to them they were very comfortable.

Cute, but painful - I love these shoes... but they kill between my toes. The molded plastic (or whatever it is there) is way too hard and has no give... it presses down just enough to make this shoe very uncomfortable. I have tried so many times to "break them in" and many years later it still has not worked. I hope your luck with this super cute shoe is better than mine!

Just ordered my second pair. These fit the same as my old ones which I had for at least 3 years. Love, love! Very comfy, my go to casual summertime shoe for shorts, dresses, skirts, & jeans. I am a 9/9.5 and ordered a 40. They fit the same as my old ones. So happy!! I hope Birkenstock will keep this style forever! If you are on the fence about ordering, BUY them! You won’t be disappointed. Also, I have never been able to even feel the piece between the toes. Doesn’t rub or bother my foot in any way. You can see the fit in the pictures I posted. Hope you enjoy yours!!

I have wide feet and finding comfy shoes is a challenge. These fit great and feel wonderful. Like all Birkenstocks, it's takes a few days to get use to the footbed if you're not used to it. Very comfortable and highly recommended!

These sandals are really comfortable. I was worried when I first put them on that the strap between my toes would be really uncomfortable but, after wearing them a couple times, they feel great. I've always been a big fan of Birkenstocks because, unlike most other shoes, I could wear them for long days at work without my feet, knees and back hurting. These sandals are no exception and are definitely worth the price.

These sandals are the best, and well worth the money. They last for years. I have a pair in white and also in black. Now with this beige color, I feel like I am set for anything the summer has to offer.

Great sandals for doing lots of walking. I was sick of the cheap flip flops, so thought I would try these. They worked out great for walking all over campus and for any day that I would be on my feet all day. I love the look of the shoes and they only look better after wearing more often. The foot bed shapes itself to your foot which is great. I'd recommend these shoes. I normally wear a 9 in US sizes, but went with a 38.

Had them almost a year and have worn them comfortably for many long walks. They are still in great shape. I wanted them for comfort but am surprised how many compliments I get on them.

These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn, and I have received many, many compliments on how they look too! I bought these as a comfortable, supportive, but also stylish pair of sandals to wear as a teacher who is on her feet all day long, and they are great! I usually wear a size 8 1/2 so I ordered a size 39. I was surprised to find that they were just a little bit too big...too much room in the back "heel cup." I ordered a size 38 to compare and ended up keeping the 38. They feel great and really didn't require much breaking in. I ended up buying them in white too and love them!
