The Starling Cheetah was my first pair of Birdies. I waited over a month to decided to order them because of the cost and being disappointed with other shoe brands. When they arrived and I opened the package I was thrilled! The quality was beautiful. When I put them on my feet, I swear I heard Angels singing! Yes! They are that comfortable!

The Starling Birdies are so comfortable that I own them in multiple colors. Felt so confident about those that the first time I wore them was for a full day of walking around the city, and they did not disappoint! Perfect sizing, no break in time and so very stylish!

SO impressed by these shoes! These were my first pair of Birdies and I'm in love. I wore them while running errands for a few hours and didn't get blisters. They're effortlessly cute. Also love the unexpected yellow color.

Lovely shoe- fits TTS and is extremely comfortable! My go-to teacher shoe (although Birdies discontinued their teacher discount and raised their prices, which counts me out of full-priced items).
