I had these in my cart for the longest time, along with a pair of the Birkenstock in this style. I already own a pair of the Birks, and love them. I am typically in a 6 1/2-7 shoe, and based on the reviews here saying they run small or true to size, I originally purchased the size 7 even though I take a 36 in Birkenstock. They were too large, and the heel of my foot did not fit nicely in the heel cup. Reordered the size 6 and they fit perfectly. The soles on these are a bit softer compared to the Birkenstock (non-soft sole version), and I don't think they will take very long to break in. We will see if they have the same longevity, and if so, I would highly recommend them. They are real leather, too, which many of the Birks are not.

a nice comfy Birk like sandal without the Birk price. I also think these have a softer sole so they will be easier to break in. I think they run a tad small. I have been wearing a 40 or a 9 for a long time now. I almost feel like I could have ordered a size up

These sandals are very comfortable. Love the look. I usually wear an 8 - 8.5. I purchased a 9, they fit.

I wear an 8 1/2 wide--usually a 39 in Birkenstocks. Based on the reviews, I ordered the Vista in a size 8 (38) of these and they fit almost the same as my 39s--soft soles are wonderful! Just so you have reference, I have duck feet--like pancake flat--so my foot finds ways to squoosh over the sides of shoes...all contained in these.

The only point of note--the upper straps are real leather, so they need a little wear to loosen the stiffness of new leather...even with that, they weren't very uncomfortable...I could just feel the straps on my foot. No blistering or rubbing (though I only wore them for a few hours inside the house on the initial wear).

I love that they are real cork, real footbeds, real leather for about half of the Birk price...been looking for the Arizona style to drop in price to get the brown sandals and now I have them!

So cute!! But it took awhile to break them in! But now they feel great!! These aren't a good walking shoe but for quick-use natural earth-type sandals they are so worth the economical price!!

I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these are. Wish they had a wide option. But still, has a soft footbed and real leather straps. I will most likely get a second pair.

Please do yourself a favor and go for the real thing - Birkies, Naot, Taos, whatever you prefer. I could not return these fast enough. Leather is stiff, sole is stiff, size is huge (size 38 for me, a 7.5M US, was huge and wide) and the orthotic insole is cheap and premolded so there's no way it would conform to your own footprint the way others do. Looked nice, had some positive reviews, but seriously - they're not comfortable! I even called the company to clear any confusion about sizing, as the size chart is ambiguous. The woman at the company advised me to get a size 39. Imagine how huge those would have been! What a joke.

I own a pair of real Birkenstock ā€” these have a little bit more cushion. These feel great and are very good quality. They are sized just like real Birkenstock brand. Wonderful! Buy them!

These sandals are constructed very well and are very comfortable on my right foot. I have plantar fasciitis inflammation in my left foot and because of that at this point it hurts to wear them. Iā€™m hoping this will improve
