I adore them.  Birks work for my particular feet and I really love the black insole!!  Fancy!!

My feet are super picky--give them the wrong shoe for even a few minutes, and my plantar fasciatis flares up. After my single pair of black Mephistos was no longer comfortable, I went looking for a new shoe that would also look cute with vintage wear. These absolutely fit the bill! They're cute and have unique detailing (I got the black with patent, and I love the grosgrain inlay). I tried these on and found myself quite comfortable in them around the house, on hard and soft surfaces. Plus, they have a removable insole if I get really desperate and want to put custom orthotics in them. I also bought some Capezios at the same time, and they're going back--no comparison, in my feet's opinion.

Excellent will probably get another pair as my job requires all black footwear, so I can alternate the days I wear them .

Feels much more supportive than my usual rain boots and I love the removable insole, allowing use of custom orthotics.

I have two pairs of these Vivobarefoot Stealth in teal size 39. I typically wear 8.5 in athletic shoes and the 39 fit but only with thin socks. So in order to wear slightly thicker socks this winter I ordered this pair in raspberry size 40. They feel really good. I was surprised that they do not have removable insoles like my first two pairs have. Its not like the insoles are missing, the inside footbed is finished with smooth fabric printed with the brand, but there is nothing to take out. Doesn't matter to me - by ordering up a size I can put the insoles from the  Altra's that did not work for me because they are not flexible like the Stealth into the Stealth. Now I know we are supposed to be embracing the barefoot-ness of these shoes, and I am always barefoot in and around my home, but for long walks on concrete, and at my age, I need a little bit of cush. No support, just a tiny bit of softness. The zero-drop highly flexible Stealth is the shoe for me and my persnickity toes who much prefer to go shoeless.

It's a long time since I've worn Birks, but my memory of them is good, so I'm sure, in time, these will work out too.  I need to wear them with socks to soften the leather, but once that happens, and they remember my footprint, I'm sure these will be fine.

I already have a pair of these in black that I love love love!. This is truly the perfect shoe for extended walking/standing during the day.

I like these shoes so much I think I'm going to get another pair. They are incredibly comfortable right out of the box. I also love the style and the black on black printed design.

I ordered those in narrow and 7 thinking it would be perfect for my small feet. I had another pair in Medium and that's def. better for me and more true to size. Birkenstock are all about comfort and support, so those are great for long walks on hot days. I would buy them again for sure. The value on Amazon is also great and the color is a blueish gray, very easy to match with anything.

I am a true 9.5 and these fit perfect, but I have a very narrow foot which is why I like these. I have 3 pair. The black is my favorite.

I saw a friend who had a similar pair and I finally decided to get Birkenstocks.  They are so comfortable and they look fantastic.  They provide great support and I've had no problem breaking them in.

A good black pair of Asics that is classy enough for me to wear at work, and has the awesome Asics foot support.

I have very wide feet and very high arches - need orthotics in all shoes, except Crocs. I've been ordering several pairs of boots and had to return them all. I ordered these in 7-1/2EE and just received them. I took out the insole, put in my orthotic and put the insole back on top. Then slipped my foot in.....voila! Can't believe it. The squarish toe allows for more toe room but still looks great. The dark brown is almost black, which I like. The sole and heel are non-slip. They look GREAT with pants. I can't say enough how happy I am that I can finally wear a stylish pair of boots like other women, instead of flat lunch-lady ortho shoes.

Due to high arches I overpronate. I have to put support insoles in all my other shoes EXCEPT my wonderful Birkenstocks! They support my foot wonderfully without any ad ons. The tiles on my floors at home are over concrete which make it a necessity to have shock absorption and alignment when walking around here. These shoes have the right combo. And they make me smile because my kindergarten art teacher used to wear them. I didn't get the funny toe shaped shoe back then but I sure do see the benefit now! Here's to you Mrs. Camaratta! You knew what was up in terms of comfort and now so do I!!!!

I like them enough I might have to get a second pair. Plus the black in black looks good with just about everything you wear. Like I said probably will get a second pair sooner then later

These shoes are great for me! I have worn them all day at work, all day shopping, on a 2 mile walk along the beach and they have not once given me trouble. I though I might have to break them in but I was able to wear them all day on the first day - Black Friday shopping! They are a bit narrower around the calf than boots I have purchased in the past. The measurements are all listed so I just measured before I bought to be sure they would fit. They are very comfortable on my feet but I do not need much arch support. If you are someone who does there is enough room inside for an insole to be added comfortably. I purchased the size I would normally wear and they fit perfectly when I wear my regular (somewhat thin) socks or tights. They are, however, a bit snug when I wear my wool socks. The leather is very nice; they are definitely well made. I have worn them with jeans, colored skinny jeans, and dresses and, in my opinion, all of the combinations looked great! I think they are very versatile boots and very comfortable! I would definitely recommend!

Have worn some model of Birkenstocks, mostly "Arizonas" for nearly 40 years (along with lots of more professional office-type shoes, also). Never had black ones. And the "soft-bed" is nice. Have new black clogs for this coming winter too.
