Birkenstock sandals - ok for narrow feet?

I have a couple of pairs of sandals but they are not really super comfortable. So I was thinking of getting some Birkenstocks. But I have rather narrow feet, so a lot of sandals are just too wide. Any thoughts?

I have tried them and I found them to be way too wide and nflexible. I certainly wouldn't drive in them.

I've got a pair of the Betula which are rubbery plastic. They're a bit narrower but I only wear them by the pool or on the beach

My feet are reasonably narrow and they are fine for me although I did size down I think. (often have to do that with sandals, I am a small size 5)

I have narrow feet and the narrow fitting birkies are fine. But they're a bugger to wear in, especially if your narrow feet are also bony, like mine!

I have very narrow feet and the 'narrow fit' Birkies are magic.

Even then, I had to do them up on the smallest hole, though! Normal width ones are like boats on me.
