'London' Slip-On (Men)

Based on the instructions and measuring techniques, it was suggested that I get a men’s size 10 1/2 even though I wear a woman’s 12. The shoes were tight, in length as well, as lwidth . Not quite sure the reasoning behind the price other than it being a thin leather, and the orthotic feel of the foot bed. I suppose it will give if you gave it some time, but I would recommend getting your normal size. These were incredibly tight for me at this size.

I bought these shoes for my son who works in a kitchen. He cooks and is on his feet 12 - 14 hours each day, 6 days a week. This is the first time he has used these shoe for work. He is extremely happy with these shoes. They are not only comfortable, but so light. Most works shoes are heavy so thi was an added bonus to these shoes.

I have plantar fascitius and Birkenstocks were recommended to me. Thus far, the shoe fits reasonably well although I wish there was a bit more room in the toe box. I wear size 13 and my pair is a size 46 and it appears they do not come in size 47. I hope the leather tops stretch as I break them in. The arch support, my reason for buying them, is great.

It’s a beautiful shoe. It’s a great idea…Birks that slip on with a closed back, sign me up! However…they didn’t work for me. It was a struggle to get them in with socks. I tried different material of socks and my foot wouldn’t go in! When I got them in, I went about my day and noticed that the shoes pulled my socks off as I walked. When I took off the shoes, half of my socks are off my foot and bunched up to my toes. I had to return them. I spent too much money to have them sit in my closet.
