I'm no Birkenstock expert but after looking for some myself I assume the BBuc stands for Birkibuc which would mean their faux leather.
May I ask,where did you find those , Hiromit ?
I'm waiting for these
Hi Pollie-Jean -- I found the leopard ones on Google images but have no idea where you would buy them. ETA: I found a pair here and it looks like a German company! http://www.better-walking.com/en/Wo...n-22.html?listtype=search&searchparam=leopard
And some here too: http://www.papillio.de/en/collection-detail.aspx?kid=4327
Love your silver Gizehs! It's my favourite Birk style but my feet don't like thong-style sandals.

I love the silver Gizehs! I wore my pair out last year and haven't replaced them yet (but they lasted me a good 3-4 years, which was great). I always jokingly called them my "dress birks" because of the silver, haha.
It's kind of fun that birks are actually in style this year - I have about 5 or 6 pairs that I've bought over the last 5ish years and love them, but always figured I was just doomed to be out of style (but really, they're so comfortable that I didn't care!). I'm going to treat myself to a new pair this year, but have to decide which ones!
Can someone please advise on best way to determine if a regular or narrow fits best? Would most say a regular is best? I can wear the narrow and like the way it looks, but it fits just right around foot. While there is much space on sides of the regular. In a regular shoe I buy regular width not narrow.
Do most of you that do not wear narrow shoes find the regular a better fit?

I'm so glad I found this thread! Someone saw me in my red Gizeh sandals and went on about how trendy they are and where did I get them...I was floored! Birkenstocks? Trendy? Of course, they're incredibly comfortable, and I started wearing them a few years ago when I developed plantar fasciitis, so seeing them in style is awesome! This thread is great because now I can find new ways of wearing the few pairs I've got! Thanks for this!

I found these based on your link

I wear regular width shoes but got my Birks in narrow for the snugger fit. I tried on both widths in the same style (Arizona), and narrow looked and felt better. If I didn't compare both, I could've gotten away with the regular but there was a bit of extra space around my foot even after tightening the straps.
Now, I do have another pair arriving next week. I believe these are regular width but I wanted them for their colour combo. I sure hope they'll feel ok but I'm anticipating a bit of slippage. At least they'll look cute though.
I say go for the pair that feels best and don't let the size label dictate your choice. Maybe your feet are on the narrow end of regular width?

Thanks so much for the reply. The regular fit exactly how you explain, and like you I am also ordering a regular pair for color combo. I would say my feet are more narrow or straight in shape if that makes sense, but not enough that I buy a narrow in regular shoes. I definitely like the look of the narrow better as the regular has a gap around the toe strap that I worry will be bothersome if the shoes stretch at all in time.
If it's not too much trouble I would love to hear how the new pair works out for you in regular. I have read many just add extra holes to adjust straps tighter as well.
Yes, I'll let you know how the regulars fit! And thanks for the tip on punching extra holes -- I never thought of that.
The purple&blue is such a fun colour combo! Are you getting them?
Oh wow, tsk tsk Birkenstock!

Hi, I received my other pair of Birks and they're also narrow width! They came from J Crew (their website doesn't specify width) but I compared the specs with my other ones, and they're both narrow. I'm actually glad because the fit is better for me...but I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you. I hope yours work out!
