[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m someone for whom the birks never feel comfortable in the store.

The general consensus on here is that you need to break them in, over a period of several weeks, by wearing an hour a day, and that you need to find your right fit (size, width, strap style and material).

So it could take months of trial and error to find the exact pair of birks that feel comfortable. This seems … ridiculously high maintenance? [/quote]

I’ve never had to break them in, regardless of strap style or material.

Of course you need to know your size and width in any pair of shoes. I don’t consider that “high maintenance.”[/quote]

Glad they easily work for you. Lots of others on this thread say the shoes should be broken in before wearing everyday.

Also, I never decide width when I buy shoes- M width is fine for majority of people. But seems like there is a debate over whether narrow or medium is way to go with birks (I get the impression that birks narrow is like medium in basically most other shoes)- likewise, there seems to be debate whether birks run tts in length.

There’s no “debate.” I’m the only person who mentioned width. Offering narrow is an indication that Birkenstock actually cares about fit; for those of us with very narrow feet, it’s a huge help. If you don’t have narrow feet, you don’t need a narrow width, so you can order knowing that regular will probably be fine.

I think I’m also the only one who mentioned length…but also that’s every shoe brand? Nikes run small (I’m a 7), Adidas run big (I’m a 6). This is not a unique or exotic thing about Birkenstocks.

Feel free not to wear Birkenstocks—no one cares! We’re just here trying to help someone who is interested in them figure out if they’re right for them.[/quote]
