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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I love my Arizona EVA sandals and wore them nonstop over the summer. That said, they scrape up really easily and the writing on the inside totally wore off much more quickly than I would have anticipated. For the price point, I don't love that I'll likely need to replace each summer if I keep this up. But the comfort and ease make it almost worthwhile!
Long time favourite - i've prob 10 pairs to date! Love buying it overseas as well - you tend to get styles that are not necessarily available in your home country! Super comfy and understatedly stylish. Love them!
I wear these with socks because for some reason mine are uncomfortable without socks. When I walk in them for long periods of time, they hurt my feet. I also think they're expensive, but they are convenient to slip on.
I have a love hate relationship with Birkenstocks. I think that their shoes have a long break-in period, one that really destroyed my feet. After the break-in period, I loved wearing my shoes, but they lasted only about one year before completely wearing down. For the price of the shoes, I expected a higher quality product that would last me more than one warm season.
I have owned numerous pairs of birks and while pricey, they've never let me down. They can also be a little uncomfortable for the first few wears, but the cork sole quickly adapts to your foot. I have literally walked miles through cities and even easy trails in my birks and felt comfortable.
My go to shoes all year round
Love the brand and the comfort. Have had several birks over many years. Not exactly a dress up sandal for me, but great for casual, everyday wear.
love my birks! these sandals are so comfortable and easy to wear
Will last a life time!
I bought my first pair in San Francisco and I have very wide feet and I was in pain from wearing shoes that hurt me. I got my first pair and did not even need to break it in. I walked over the golden gate bridge from SF and into Sausalito the next town over and back over bridge into SF and I had no pain and wore them while away 4 months. When I got home my mother saw the condition of sandals and thought were old and said throw them out. I bought those sandals many times since though not wearing recently. Again for a brand not to cause me pain is a miracle and I highly recommend this sandal even if expensive.
I have the Arizona sandals in white and black, they do take some time to break in, but once they are broken in they are very comfortable.
Quality is unmatched! Such a classic shoe!
I have been wearing Birkenstocks for quite some time now and believe that they make truly quality shoes. My only grievance is that the shoes can be uncomfortable to break in but last for a very long time and are pretty comfortable after that.

High quality, stylish and super comfy. These are a staple in my summer wardrobe and I always get complements on my giza's. My daughters wear the kids PU sandals and they survive the summer and still look adorable.

I love my Birkenstock’s they are so sturdy and comfortable as they mold to your feet. They last a long time as long as you protect them from getting wet otherwise the cork literally disintegrates.
I have tried both the cork bottom and the leather bottom Birkenstocks, and I prefer the leather bottom. I could wear the big buckle leather bottom sandals every single day, dressed up or down. My arches thank me when I do wear them!
Birkenstocks are my go to summer shoe. They are comfortable, durable, and timeless. I wore Birkenstocks at my wedding reception - they are worth every penny.
Love my Birkenstocks, my EVA pair for the beach/pool or even walking around my muddy garden, and my nubuck big gold buckle pair for an elevated casual aesthetic. They are so incredibly comfortable, I need a new pair!

Birkenstock's have always been good sandals and so comfortable; they used to be really expensive and they still are a bit, but I like how they have come down in price and now are offered in cheaper materials to make them more affordable.
I like Birkenstock. Their brand and mission aligns with my values. Their shoes are high quality. I am rating 4 stars as I do feel the price point is slightly high for the product without any discounts/promotions.
