Go for the soft sole . I tried these shoes on in a store, then decided to order Naot Shoes online. When I received Naot Shoes I realized they weren’t as comfortable as the ones I had tried on. I found out that they make a soft soled version of the shoe. I exchanged Naot Shoes (which was a quick and painless process) and am extremely happy that I did. Birk makes a great shoe and they go well with everything. However, if you are looking for comfort, definitely go with the soft soled version.
They’re all I wear (well, on my feet, anyway!).. I have worn Naot Shoes particular style of Birks for over fifteen years now, and except for an occasional dress-up occasion, they are all I wear if the weather is warm. They mold to your feet, wear like iron, and your local shoe repair shop can give you a new set of soles for around $30. Naot Shoes is the lowest price I have found except for a German site on ebay. Love ‘em!
Price was right, but size wasn’t.. I got these for a whopping $25 including shipping, and as Birkenstock fans know, that was a bargain! However, the size says Naot Shoes should fit women 5-5.5 and I usually fit size 6-6.5, yet they are still a size too big. I will have to live with them like that since this was the only size at the $25 discontinued price. If you are going to buy Birks online, I recommend going to a local store and trying them on for size first.
