Details & care
A latte to love, in loafer form. The Starling in creamy suede feels as smooth as morning silk against your skin, with just enough texture to catch the light beautifully. This neutral charmer nests perfectly in any wardrobe, bringing understated luxury to everything from tailored trousers to flowing midi skirts. Built with our signature seven-layer footbed that cradles each step like a gentle embrace, it's comfort that never compromises on style. The rounded toe and slip-on ease make mornings effortless, while the refined silhouette keeps you looking polished from first coffee to last call. Consider this your go-to for those days when you want to look put-together without a second thought—because sometimes the most beautiful things are the ones that make everything else look better.

Sleek, stylish, comfortable.
I absolutely ADORE Birdies shoes! I have these in black calf hair, and I used to have them in camel leather (before my puppy ate them, please bring them back in camel leather!) I have a slightly wider foot, so these take the smallest bit of breaking in from that perspective, but it only takes a couple of wears for them to stretch to perfection. I usually wear these for travel because they look so smart and are ridiculously comfortable, but they are so easy to slip on and off that I find myself wearing them on the daily as well!

Concerned
I love Birdies, have 7 pairs. Always a perfect fit 101/2. But I don't know what happen to this last pair I was gifted for Christmas. The 101/2 fits a little large, the heel is slipping and it's not the perfect 101/2 that I'm so used to. What happened to the sizing? I have various styles so I'm sure its not the material

Birdies response
Thank you so much for sharing this with us — and for being such a devoted Birdies woman. Seven pairs is no small thing, and we never take that kind of loyalty lightly. :u1F90D:
We completely understand how disappointing it is when a fit you know and trust doesn’t feel like your usual Birdies experience, especially when it’s a gift meant to feel perfect right out of the box. While our sizing is designed to stay consistent, subtle differences can happen across styles and constructions, and your feedback is incredibly important in helping us catch those moments.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know — and we’d love to help make this right so your newest pair feels just as effortless as the ones you’ve come to rely on. Thank you for being part of this community and holding us to the standard you deserve. :sparkles:

Great quality, odd fit
These are beautiful, well-made shoes. They fit a bit odd, in that the tow box was tight, but the middle part was loose. My foot it average width and rectangular- it's not wider at the toes. I really wanted to keep them and hopefully stretch the toe box, but didn't want to loosen the rest of the width.

Navy suede starling
Not as comfortable as the first pair that I had. A little snug. Toebox seems lower, which is not so good for me. i’m going to try the Black velvet again,which I also have. Basically, the 9 1/2 was too big and the 9 is a little snug. I’m assuming they willstretch a little so I’m keeping them.

Way too big
I really love my velvet ones which I had size down a half size. I will definitely have to order 1 size down for the suede ones
