work shoes
Best and comfiest work shoes ever, it’s my 4th pair… super super comfy if you’re on your feet all day and need work loafers.

The old design was way cuter. I don’t know why they changed it. The almond shape was much more feminine and fit my feet better. The new design is a cross between a round and square toe, trying to look like a ballet slipper, and it gapes around the middle of my foot. Hige downgrade.

Sizing Way Off
Fabulous classic velvet BUT sizing wrong. I am 7 or 7.5 but ordered 6.5 based on other reviews. Still walked out if it and 6 might still be too long. Not enough time to try again before event needed for unfortunately. Go down full size at least!

mixed feelings
Have been hearing good reviews about birdies as working shoes, decided to try this out. The insole is soft but I don’t think there is enough support for walking in the office. I will keep it to try it out but I am not sure if I will like it as much.

Great shoe, inconsistent sizing
3rd pair of Birdies bought. Love the comfy fit and sturdy construction. Size varies between styles and materials, though. Thought they’d fit like my other Starling flats, which are leather, but these are very tight. Second time I’ve had to make an exchange because the different styles and materials fit so differently. Apparently I should wear a size 7. 5 in a velvet Heron, 7 in a leather Starling, and 7. 5 in a velvet Starling.

No longer make wide widths
Although still very cute, the fact they no longer make wide is troublesome. In the past I have worn 11w which were perfect. I have worn out the soles and inquired about 11w. I was told they no longer make wide shoes and to order the regular width since they stretch to your feet. I received them today, they fit but are tight. I'm hoping that eventually they will stretch and mold to my feet.
Birdies, PLEASE resume wide widths. This could be a deal breaker.

Leave black marks
This is my second pair of the black velvet starling. I had my first pair for several years and I loved them. For some reason this pair is different. They are still the same comfortable shoes, but if you even lightly catch your shuffle your foot, you will leave a big black streak on the floor. It rubs off with a paper towel but it happens quite often and I know that my first pair did not do this. I still love the shoe in spite of this and they are so comfy.
