So, they aren't cute, they don't have heels, they are wide....THEY FIT.  I love my Birks, I hope that they last forever.  I have a pair of Taupe Birks and wanted a pair that wouldn't show as much dirt.  My old ones needed a slight rebuild after 3 years of wear in Tz, so I thought about Sunday Birks.  I love them.  I wouldn't say that they are party shoes, but who cares.  They work and they fit and they are so comfortable.  They are expensive but if they never wear out, it is worth it.  That is all I can say.  Beware however if you have a narrow foot, these are not for you.
