Love My Birks!
I have a lisfranc fracture- meaning a permanent break in my left foot along with no arch. Birkenstocks have been the only thing I have been able to wear for 5 years. The Zurich is great for NE winters to wear with socks. Love my Birks!

LOVE my Birkenstock Zurich sandal!
This is a reload of a Zurich sandal that I had bought at a Birkenstock store, which they were out of (what, all Summer long?). I needed a new pair, old ones bought in '03 were falling apart. I like these 'cause they are like slippers in a way. Still get the orthotic support that I need. Thanks Zappos for getting these to me in 1 DAY! Woohoo, customer for LIFE! GREAT service, nice to call up on the phone and whoosh, right to your door! BUY here with confidence! I'm lovin' it!

Review of my Birkenstocks - I bought this pair of "Birkies" because after 10 years on wearing them in all kinds of weather, they finally had to go. I hope to get as much wear with these as I did the last ones, and I'm sure I will. I can wear them with or without socks, which makes them a perfect shoe. Also love the way they mold to my foot. Thanks Zappos!

Reflexology Is Proven In This Shoe -
What evidence in a shoe! Comfort. Almost like a massage for my feet. There isn't another word for this nubuck Zurich. I purchased this to wear instead of my usual flip flops. The sole does conform to your foot in time with your foot's warmth. I purchased this as it serves its purpose beautifully. I will purchase another style in Birkenstock that's pure comfort. This is durable and the full coverage is nice in cooler weather. Thank you for your excellent customer service and terrific personnel, Zappos. You'll have loyal me as a customer!

Birkenstock Comfort - These shoes are amazingly comfortable all day long. I am on my feet most of the day, and when I come home, I still continue to wear my Birkenstocks. Also, the customer service at Zappos is amazing! My husband ordered Merrill sandals a few days after I ordered the Birkenstocks, and his order came the next day! Thank you Zappos!

My paws -
Birkenstocks are not beautiful. That said, these soft taupe-gray sandals are a pleasure to come home to, to slip into in the morning, to pad about in. I wear them barefoot or in chillier weather with wooly sox. I wear them more than any other shoe I own.

I have a small foot, size 4.5 and these still are a little big on me. But this is not the fault of the shoe. Birkenstock shoes also run a little big.

Great Birks -
Bought these for my husband who has very large feet, and he loves them. He his a manager at a country club, so he is on his feet all day in dress shoes, and these are the first shoes he wants to put on when he gets off work. Of course they took some time to break in, and were uncomfortable at first, but now they fit him perfect.

Liking these more and more -
This is my third pair of Birkenstocks and not the last. The Zurich is one of the original Birks but less clunky somehow than the 2-strap styles and looks good with capris. Years ago I admired these on an acquaintance and finally got a pair. Worth it! This is a nice classic replacement for an old pair of Florida’s worn to death and then lost. I usually wear a 6-1/2 WW and the 36 regular fits about right.

Zurich is a great shoe.
I love my new Zurichs. They look great with or without socks and give a little more protection from the weather than other Birks. I usually wear a size 7 in a regular woman's shoe, but always take 36s ("size 5") in Birks.

New style for me but I like it!
I'm trying the Zurich for the first time and I really like it! It may become my standard Birkenstock, with or without socks. I only wish there were more colors as I expect this light color to get dirty fairly soon. I highly recommend this one!

New Zurich’s after 18 years with my old ones -
Had my old egg-plant purple Zurich’s for over 18 years and wore them rain, snow or shine. Absolutely loved them. Had never seen another pair like them during that time. My friends made a lot of fun about them, but I know deep down inside they really were envious. My wife and daughter had them rebuild two years ago for father's day and my cat recently used them for a litter box and ruined them. I will bury them in the garden this spring and place a memorial next to the site.
Once again Zappos has proven their excellence by having my size in stock (taupe though) and I ordered them yesterday @ 6:00pm and they were shipped from Kentucky and on my doorstep in Carson City, Nevada today @ 2:30pm amazing!!! And the fit was perfect. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Zappos.

Great alternative to Clogs -
My feet are too narrow for clogs, so I thought I'd try Zurich as my "winter" sandal (OK I do live in northern FL, so it isn't usually too cold) to wear with socks. They are the only Birkies that needed a break in, but in 2 days they were fine, at least with socks, which is how I wear them.

Somehow, they seem different from what I remember.
I bought these shoes in the dark brown leather color because I liked the color and I had never seen them in this color before. So, when I got them (thanks to Zappos for the reliable and rapid service!) I wasn't disappointed with the look at all. The thing though is that Birkenstocks nowadays seem to be cut a little narrower than when I got my first pair back in the early nineties. And that's not really the problem that I'm having. The main problem with me is that the arch support really gets in the way of my non-existent arch. It's like my feet feel like they're going up a hill in these shoes--and that's not how feet (mine or anyone else's) are supposed to feel. All in all, I just wish that Birkenstock made shoes that weren't so hard in the sole. That and they could just leave out the hard footbed thing that doesn't really match up to my feet. I mean, most shoes don't bother with that anyway--I'm thinking about my Crocs about now. The reason I'm not giving this shoe a 'one star' is because I always appreciate the ample toe room in these shoes. That's probably the biggest plus there is. They just...I just don't like a shoe that I have to 'break in'. They should already be comfortable when I put them on.

C From Minnesota -
I am always amazed at the service of Zappos. The Zurich sandals are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I own four different pairs of Birkenstock shoes. I get knee and back pain if I wear shoes that do not have a good arch support. Thanks again Zappos for your great products and great service people.

THE USUAL GOOD FIT -
I haven't had any Birkenstocks that were cut as high, and I had to get used to them. But they are the usual great fit I've always had in Birkenstocks.

Such comfortable shoes. Just received these shoes from Zappos way faster than expected, and love them already. I have several other pairs of Birkenstocks and like them all for different reasons - these just seem to hug the top of my foot better than the others though. Would definitely recommend these shoes, and Zappos too.

Christmas presents!
I purchased the Zurich for my daughter for Christmas. She has been wearing this shoe for sometime now. You are only one of a few companies that carries the Zurich. With your free shipping both ways and competive pricing why would I buy anywhere else? Plus your customer service people were wonderful on the phone. Thanks so much more making our Christmas merry!

I've worn this style for many years; they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever found. The fit never changes; I just keep ordering the same size over and over as they wear out.

Birkenstock Zurich Sandals -
I ordered this sandal in a Narrow instead of the usual wide. It was fine after I moved the straps to where I wanted them. The sandal is comfortable, and I plan to get more use in the winter, perhaps with socks.

Wait a week then...wow -
I hadn't worn a Birk in a while and forgot that they do really need a "break in" week. Once the leather had settled and my foot found its home, they were golden. I'm wearing them around the punishing streets of New York and they feel great. A perfect antidote to the summer heat. My last pair lasted 14 years. I hope these last as long!

I love these shoes. I also have them in brown leather and would/will buy more of this style.
Birkenstock shoes are the only ones I have found that fit a wide/high foot.
