Birkenstock really nailed it with this design. These sandals are fashionable and the vibrant color options are a great way to add a pop to any summer outfit.

I have a couple pairs of the original version of these (with no ankle strap) and I wear them all the time . . . love them. However, I wanted a pair more securely affixed to my feet for walking all day on cobblestones and up and down lots of steps. These are not those. The ankle strap is there just to give a hint of the gladiator look, not to hold your foot in. Yes, the shoes would stay on if you tried to kick them off, but the straps don’t really hold the shoe to your foot. They are just as floppy/flappy when I walk at the originals, and not as flattering.

I originally ordered the Yara sandal in a size 39R because it said it would fit a US Women's size 9, but it was huge! I gave it to my cousin who is a size 10 and it fit her perfectly. I bought it again in the 38R and it fits perfectly! I have a bit of a wide foot, so it works for me. This is my first real pair of Birkenstocks, but after the breaking-in period, it's the most comfortable show I own, outside of my running shoes. The best part about the black patent is that I have been able to wear it out to dinner and nightclubs, and it feels sexy. I get compliments on these sandals all the time! A great investment for a shoe that I wear almost every day.

I love this bag! I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do. It has room for all the things I carry around when I want to spend the day at a coffeehouse. I did buy a bag organizer to put inside, so that also helps. However, I wish the smaller straps were a bit sturdier, other than that it's perfect! The color is just as pictured and the texture is as expected.

This bag is excellent quality. The color is perfect. It is a nice bag for work to carry laptop, notepad, and planners. Plenty of room and I love that it can be carried as a crossbody.

 Update 2!: they sent me a replacement and I haven’t had any issues so far so I upped my rating some.Update: after using it only a few times, the shoulder strap snapped off and I can’t just replace it because the buckle area at the side is where it broke off. I can’t seem to message the seller, either.I absolutely love this Tote bag. The quality is amazing and it’s super cute! I got an insert and it fits perfectly to help organize it!

I love these shoes! They are very tight when first put on but they become very comfortable after about ten minutes- I wear them often.

This is a nicely made loafer. The suede is supple and a very nice brown. I loved these shoes but alas they were too tight across the ball of the foot. I returned them.

These Birkenstocks are the most confortable shoes ever. I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes cured me and made it possible to walk without pain again. I took a star off because Amazon describes these as Boston Soft footbed. These actually have the regular footbed. And that turned out to be really good. The regular footbed it very supportive and excellent. The soft footbed is comfortable but not very supportive and would not have helped my plantar fasciitis.

I have been wearing Birkenstocks for decades because I have a high arch and need to have good support. I wear them as house shoes, even in the winter with socks, and my everyday sandals in the warmer weather. They are very durable. I prefer a different style than this one, but even the Birkenstock website did not have that style in my size. I have worn this style in the past, so I decided to get it again.
