Beautiful flats!

These are classic and so comfortable. I am so happy I went out on a limb and got my first pair of Birdies! These are going to last a long time. So cute. I have very few pairs of cute shoes because they are always so uncomfortable. I could literally run in these if I needed to. Easily could be dressed up or down. Perfect fit. I have long slightly narrow feet.

I love the shoe, but size is not right

I usually wear a size 8 and these are too big and I even put an insoles in them and they’re still not right . Need to exchange for a 7 1/2

They changed their sizing

I bought a pair 5 years ago and they were my default work shoes. I loved them and wore them almost every day. I knew I wanted to buy a new pair as soon as my old ones wore out. They are so much more narrow than they used to be and they are a bit longer too. I was so sad after wearing them 1 day at work both being too long and too narrow. I checked and bought the exact size I bought before. I now have to try and find a new pair of work shoes.

Not as good as the original fit for The Starling

Once a favorite shoe, they no longer fit me as they run too narrow. Sizing up does not solve the problem. I wish the old fit was still an option.
