I tried the color Stone too, but I didn't like it. Especially the brown sole

Do you all find your Birkenstocks to be comfortable immediately? I know the footbed needs to break in but I kind if feel like these granadas aren't shaped right for my foot and like I would need to "grip" with my toes while walking which would actually worsen my foot problem.

Yes, i find my Birkies comfortable right away. Mine are the Arizonas and both have regular footbed. If you need to curl your toes for grip, it sounds like the sandals are too loose. Have you tried tightening the straps?

ITA with H. Sounds like they are too loose. Try tightening the straps. They should be comfy right out of the box.

I did try tightening the straps but the leather is quite stiff (it is the oiled leather in Iron) so it is uncomfortable on the tighter setting. The sizing of the sole is perfect but something about this specific style doesn't seem like it will work for me. I decided I am returning these and am going to try the Mayari in Birko-Flor to see if those straps are more comfortable for me.

You are trying the "narrow" version or "regular"? Maybe you have the regular width which is really wide. Could you take a picture of the iron color before sending them back? I am curious about the color.

The width actually works for me--I have flat feet that are on the wider side of average.
I will try to figure out how to post a picture from my phone on TPF. :p

Anyone know who makes the top? I'm guessing Isabel Marant and I hope it isn't for my wallet's sake.

You have the regular width here. Based on the footprint printed on the inner sole is an outline. If it is "narrow" the footprint is solid (filled in).

But it sounds like the issue is that the straps are not able to tighten enough for you. So maybe this style doesn't work for you. Maybe try a different style and order both the narrow and regular width in that style. See if it works for you better.
