About Birdies
I have a confession to make. I’m a bit of a shoe addict. But my preference is not for just any shoes, but for creative styles, bright colors and eye-catching features, like the ones Birdies offers.
My favorite thing about Birdies? They’re actually comfortable. Birdies may look chic and fashionable, but despite their incredibly convincing paneling, they’re more like comfortable slippers.
One study[1] says that for most Americans, shoes are an extension and expression of their personality. Shoes influence our perception of others and ourselves.
I love knowing that Birdies were designed by women for women. They are versatile and make busy women like me feel and look good at every stage of the day.
Birdies shoes are driven by a deep-rooted desire to support women. They will see you through your daily challenges and triumphs, offering comfort and thoughtful reliability.
Are you interested? In this review of Birdies shoes, I’ll explore the key elements of the brand and its products so you can shop with confidence. After all, there’s nothing quite like a smart pair of shoes.

Overview of Birdies
The older I get, the more I realize that uncomfortable shoes[2] have no place in my closet. That may be why I’m so passionate about Birdies. But to be honest, I love the brand’s story as much as their shoes.
Birdies is based in San Francisco and has been passionately living its mission since 2015 – from comfort to fashion. With a collection based on empathy, careful thought and experience, the brand is the culmination of Bianca Gates and Marisa Sharkey’s experiences and efforts.
Creating an innovative and pragmatic brand that serves other women, they founded Birdies to help women facing the same needs as them before the brand got its start.
As busy moms, the two were no strangers to hosting gatherings for friends and family. The problem with that? The question of what shoes to wear for the occasion. Since they either went barefoot or wore ill-fitting slippers for comfort, they decided to design a shoe that combined the desired sophisticated look with the desired cushioning.
And so Birdies was born, meeting the practical demands of everyday life while complementing them with style.
Designed as chic slippers, the co-founders noticed a trend over time. Customers loved their Birdies. They loved them so much that they wore them outside too. With a few quick decisions, they added a rubber sole, and voila! the shoes became durable and suitable for switching between tasks and roles.
It’s not hard for me to understand why people love this brand and its shoes. Take one look and you’ll know too. Birdies feature an impressive 7-layer cushioning technology. They look like a designer apartment, but have the structural benefits of a well-built sneaker and feel like a comfortable slipper thanks to advanced technology.
The seven layers of Birdies shoes include: soft quilted satin, arch and heel support, premium cushioning, dual-layer high-density foam, shock absorption and memory foam cushioning.
No wonder they are loved by the masses. A quick search for “Meghan Markle Birdies” will show you that the princess loves them too.
This female-led brand takes into account the demands and desires of a busy life and delivers a product that supports your ambitions and goals.
With Birdies, you really do get the best of comfort, utility and beautiful design. Now that you know a little more about the brand itself, let’s jump into a list of highlights.

Birdies Slippers Review
Luxuriously comfortable is an understatement. I’ll start this Birdies shoe review with one of my favorites, the Phoebe – Floral Jacquard model, which cleverly meets the requirements of design and comfort.
By devouring every detail, I learned that these eye-catching loafers do double duty thanks to a grippy rubber sole: They can be worn indoors and outdoors. The shoes are made from satin and velvet and, despite their opulence, are completely vegan.
The stunning Phoebe Floral Jacquard is available in cheetah, crimson faux fur and black faux fur. The Floral Jacquard is elegant and can naturally transition between day and evening, casual and cocktail.
Do you love options? Then you should consider The Songbird. Delicate, ornate and highly fashionable, they are perfect for special occasions or to add a unique touch to any day. Available in blush, bellini satin, rose crystal velvet and snow crystal velvet, the mule has a 15mm high heel and a rubber sole for grip.
Available in Phoebe, Songbird and Raven, all equally effortless, stylish and comfortable, the Birdies loafers are priced between $80 and $120.
Birdies Flats Review
When shopping, there’s hardly anything better than a 2-for-1 offer. Basically, you get something for nothing. The fact that the Birdies double as both flats and slippers (and therefore offer double the benefits) feels like getting a pair of shoes for free.
With the comfort of a beloved slipper and the subtle benefits of a beautiful flat, Birdies are the perfect lifestyle shoe for me. They also come in three collections with a total of 15 styles to choose from. Designs range from leather to faux fur and cheetah print to emerald green, and depending on the model, you can get a pair for $80-$165.
One of my favorites? The Starling Flat. Made of calf hair and durable rubber, you’ll stand out in a crowd and enjoy compliments that don’t come with foot pain.
The Starling has a 10mm heel and is available in seven sharp colors, including cheetah, black velvet and slate suede.
The Heron is classic and equally elegant, with a tasteful tongue and sleek design. The velvet shoe is vegan and suitable for both indoor and outdoor wear, with a conscientiously constructed footbed and a 10mm heel.
The shoe is available in black velvet, olive velvet and amber velvet and can be wonderfully combined with jeans, business attire or a dress.
Pro tip: Since these shoes are made from luxurious materials, Birdies recommends adding a small amount of baking soda to the inside of the slippers or flats to renew the material if they become soiled. For the outside of the shoe, use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt or stains. Make sure that your pair of Birdies does not come into contact with water.
Birdies Sizing
The perfect shoe also means the perfect size, so I thought it might be useful to share some sizing tips here. Read on to find your perfect fit.
- There are detailed sizing tips for each slipper. I recommend reading the product description for each pair of shoes to make sure you have the right fit.
- Birdies are available in sizes 5 to 12 with half and whole sizes.
- Birdies fit both wide and narrow feet.
Another thing I love? They’re designed to mold to your feet over time, which means you can be sure they’ll fit perfectly.
