BIRKENSTOCK commands fervent reviews for comfort that improves as the contoured cork footbed molds to the foot, durable construction that can last years, and versatile icons like Arizona, Boston, Gizeh, Mayari, Madrid, and EVA styles. Reviews also flag real drawbacks: lengthy or painful break‑in, strap blisters and sizing quirks, odor and cleaning challenges, cork and soles degrading with water or heavy wear, and reports of premature failures with unsatisfying customer support.

I got my first pair of Birkenstocks about three years ago and I've never looked back. I appreciate the heel support and the fact that they can withstand long hours of standing, making them ideal for me as someone who is always on the move. They're surprisingly durable and can withstand even the worst of dog bites and swatting insects. For anyone who has to do chaotic 3am dog walks, I highly recommend these durable dog proof sandals.

I’ve been wearing Birks since 1997. They might go in and out of street fashion but the quality has never wavered. My everyday go to are the rubber slides. Had them for sooo long and they always go with me to gyms/vacation and quick trips to grab the mail. Indestructible!

A classic/icon for a reason - comfortable, stylish, everyday shoes that have maintained their vision time and time again with minimal iterations. I love the "upscale" look of these dark green sandals with gold hardware - I can easily dress them up or down.

Just got the Braided Boston Clog in Faded Purple, officially entering my high school arts teacher era. Super comfortable having worn around the house a few days to confirm that I wanted to keep. I have a wider foot, and the regular/wide fit works well for me.

I recently received a pair of Birkenstock clogs in taupe for Christmas, and I absolutely love them! The color is perfect, and they’re so comfortable. I also bought the Birkenstock care kit, which includes products for water, brushing, and stain removal. I’ve had a couple of splashes of water on my clogs, and I was impressed that the water just beaded off without any issue. The care kit really helped keep them looking great. I do get a little nervous about them getting dirty (but that’s more of a personal concern), but so far, they've been perfect. I also have a pair of regular Birkenstocks that were gifted to me, and I've had them for over four years now. They’ve held up wonderfully, and I can’t recommend this brand enough!

Best shoes I ever bought. Granted, everyone has them now but I’m a customer for life. So versatile and easy to wear. Boston Taupe 4ever.

Affordable, durable, comfortable and decent looking! The best part about them is once they are worn in, they provide excellent arch support. You can never have too many pairs of Birkenstocks. Absolutely vacay essentials.

Oh how I love thee... ever since 1994 I've been a fan! You enter college, you get Birks! Here we are many (many) years later and I'm still buying Birkenstocks. These fuzzy Arizonas are my current obsession. As soon as I noticed wear in the heel of my navy pair, I freaked and immediately ordered a green pair for fear of being without. I literally wear them all day and night, in and out of house. They are so freaking comfy, and in my opinion cute af. The problem I have is the expense (they're not the cheapest) but oh how I love them. You only live once – may as well be cute and comfy!

If you're looking for a blend of comfort, support, and minimalist style, Birkenstock shoes are hard to beat. Known for their signature cork footbeds and orthopedic design, these shoes have earned a cult following for a reason.

I love Birkenstocks so much I don't know why it took me 30+ years to get them out, but when I did I fell in love. So cute, flattering, and COMFY. Durable too, I wore mine regularly while living in a foresty rural area for a couple months. As someone that suffers from scoliosis back pain and bunions on my feet Birks have been a godsend.

Listen, I'm a ride or die fan when it comes to Birkenstocks. I've purchased probably 7 or so in the last 15 years and absolutely love the support they offer. As a runner, finding supportive 'after shoes' is definitely important. Birks have become that for me! I also travel a lot and they very comfortable for walking long distances.

You need some usage to break in the shoe, but after that, it's a wonderful pais of sandals that will fit any situation (except work attire - please don't bring your Birkenstock to work). I'm not giving it a 5 because after using mine Birkenstocks for almost 6 years, they are not really in a good shape, desperately in need of some cobbler's care. The cork is deteriorated and the sole leather is falling apart. I wouldn't expect this from a $100 European sandal.

Birkenstocks are practically indestructible. They last forever and are super comfy once you break them in! My only gripe is I wish they offered more vibrant colors and patterns to match my style.

I love my sandals. They are so comfortable and I feel like I can walk around all day in them. They took a little while to break in but after that they were so comfortable. I will definitely be trying more styles.

I have heard the most wonderful things about Birkenstocks but for me they are “hour shoes”. I have worn them in plenty of settings, walking lounging, water etc. and after about an hour my feet tend to get sore and I need to switch to a different more comfortable sandal. I took them on a trip to Hawaii, walking the streets on the beach everywhere and anywhere because well it’s Hawaii and you have to explore the beauty of the islands. They were wonderful and sturdy on the sand but after walking on the streets for half a day my feet started to get blisters. They are truly sturdy and wonderful, but for a short time.


Ok so i have so many different kinds that it’s a little insane. They are so comfortable. What more can i say? I got for the simple/rustic look. I love it. 😻 I have bought a few different pairs of Birkenstock’s but these are the first in this style and I love them. They are very comfortable and super cute with shorts and pants.

I'm not lying when I say that my Birkenstocks last me for YEARS! Their Arizona Sandals will always hold a special place in my heart, because the material and durability is unmatched. I used them for years, and they never ripped or gave me any issues. In the past year I got a few pairs of Boston Clogs and they are definitely my go-to, every day slide. They are so comfortable, but still give me the support that I need since I do stand a lot for my job.

I go to about 25-30 concerts in a summer, these are SO comfortable on my feet. Even if I'm standing all day, Birks hold up to wear and tear. I love them and always have a pair handy.

I’ve been living in Birkenstock for years. Literally the most comfortable sandals in the world, there’s nothing else to add. My favorite model is Florida, with the three straps, but the classic one is great too.

I have been wanting a pair of Birkenstocks for the last 3 summers and this summer I finally pulled the trigger. While at first I had been skeptical about the price I now know that I have utilized them more than enough times to justify this purchase. They are my favorite summer slip on shoes and I love wearing them to the gym.
