BIRKENSTOCK earns strong reviews for comfort that improves as the contoured cork footbed molds to the foot and for durability that can span years, with icons like Arizona, Boston, Mayari, and EVA slides praised for everyday wear. Reviews also flag drawbacks: a painful break‑in for many, sizing confusion and wide fit, soles and cork that can crack or wear quickly (especially when wet), occasional odor and chafing in heat, and mixed experiences for flat or very high arches.

Arizona Sandals started cracking in front of the strap first time worn. Expected a lot more from them, especially considering the cost. Getting the run around from the company since I bought them at a store not online. I have a long memory for getting sold an inferior product at a premium price.

I like the shoes but they broke after 2 months and after Birkenstock requested multiple photos and proof of purchase and emails back and forth they then told me to deal with the store. Run around for nothing when it wasn’t a store issue but a product issue which Birkenstock should be dealing with.

Writing this review while wearing my birkenstock slides. I have had them now for over a year & they still are in great condition. The more I wear them, the comfier they get. I feel like everyone should own a pair of their boston slides for an easy go to shoe.

I love my birkenstock sandals and I wear them almost every day in the summer! After one full summer of use, they started to fall apart so I wouldn't say they're the most durable especially for the price point. But they're very comfortable!

I love my Birkenstocks, I have sandals as well as the slip on mules. These are great for days off in all seasons of the year. I love my mules to skid into after the gym and doing errands and my go to shoe on my days off to relax my feet. The sandals are nice to go to the beach and slide on to go work in the garden. Well made and a good grip for the sole. Highly recommend!

So comfy - I love how the soles mold to your foot shape over time for the ultimate comfort! Love the minimal design options and earthy shades available, sooo cute! Also, they are worth the price because they last soooo long (every pair I have ever owned I have kept for 4-5 years!) <3 ...always a staple in my shoe collection!


Birkenstock? I can't do summer without 'em! These sandals are like a second skin, crazy comfy for long walks and beach days. They mold to your feet, so it's a custom fit. Plus, they go with everything - dresses, shorts, you name it. And the colors and styles? Endless choices i have 6 paires of them, my nephew and all my family as well. Birkenstock's a no-brainer for my summer vibe!

I love my Birkenstocks, they are my most worn shoe. They hold up so well over time and are easy to clean too! I have the Boston, the Arizona sandals and the Stalon boots. All of which are my go-to’s. You can’t beat the quality of these!



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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
