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.

I love everything about this shoe. I have difficult feet and need arch support. These shoes are so comfortable and I wear them all day, every day .

The most comfortable freaking sandals. When I first bout them I didn’t think k they would be worth the hype but they mold so specifically toy your feet like a freaking retainer. The minute you try someone else’s on they are just not it. The saying “fits like a glove “ should apply more to Birkenstocks than actual gloves.

I love the convenience this brand has in there styles. Just slip yours on and your ready to go. Not only that, they go with almost every outfit. I have a slim foot with high arch. The form of the insole helps to support my high arch. I gave four stars due to wishing they were more slim to fit a little more snug. There was however the options to tighten like a belt buckle, that helped but it was still a tad too wide. Something I could live with and didn't bother me all too much. No real complaints though. I really enjoy this brand. I have two pairs and will be getting more.

I love my birks and think they are such a staple piece. The new styles have been a favorite in my family and are so comfortable.

Literally a lifetime shoe and a constant repurchase!! I’ve had Birkenstocks that last 10 years and I’ve had awesome luck with replacing the cork bottom when it’s worn out after years of adventures! I love the original sandals that have the cork bottom and leather straps in many colours, as well as the newer line of waterproof sandals! The waterproof line is super comfy, durable and stylish as they have lots of colours to choose from. My boyfriend wears a pair of his waterproof sandals as slippers cause they’re that comfy! For the outdoorsy stylish people, the Boston Birkenstocks are so versatile and fashion forward. I have the brown suede and love the style and fit! The leather bostons are an awesome choice as well and can add an extra bit of wow to your feet. I would recommend weather proofing and maintenance as it helps them last a lot longer. They don’t take long to mold to your feet and I’ve never gotten blisters or sore feet while breaking them in!

This is a great everyday wear that is practical because it is durable.

Stylish and comfortable. Priced a bit too high for me to buy more than one pair every two years. They do have nice built in arch support.

I buy at least one pair a year, not because I need to since they last years but because I need to treat myself once a year to my favorite sandal.

Love my Birks! I have the plastic Arizona Birks in several colors and also own a leather pair. Even my younger son has purchased a pair. Only issue is that I can never find my size in stock in any color anywhere!

Love how they fit so comfortably. One of my favorite pairs of shoes to wear on chill day out and about. A must have for any collection

I was advertised a shoe across social media that I went and purchased. The shoe was not a good fit. The arches were uneven, there is no grip on the bottom of the shoe, and it's a struggle to slide into and keep on the foot. I hoped that speaking with a representative would help me and work through making an exception on the final sale nature of the purchase. I foolishly missed the final sale tag and thought I was getting a steal, but it turns out Birkenstock sales terrible shoes under this tag to swindle their customers. I have a better pair of Birkenstock shoes already so I was hoping to work through finding another satisfactory pair but they did not seem to value my commitment to working with this on them. Usually other reputable brands value their customers enough to give leeway, but not Birkenstock. I'll have to find a more considerate brand.

I used to own 100 pairs of Birkenstocks, I sold most of them because of a bone spur on my heel. 10 years later I had complete heel replacement and the bone fur cut off. I needed Birkenstocks again so I started buying them and I can’t tell you how happy I am. They are the most wonderful SHOE my feet never hurt when I wear Birkenstocks all day long.. now that my heel is fixed I don’t need a wedge. I just love BIRKENSTOCK. I will only wear the leather ones because they form to your foot. The straps I want to be leather. I try to get them on sale. I am 74 years old and I absolutely recommend them for every day wearing, and in the winter, I wear them with a pair of their wonderful cotton socks. I like to buy them directly from the website because then I know they’re not knock offs. I lived in Germany for many years and I know these are the best shoes for just about any kind of feet. I love them and I love the fact that if they don’t fit, you can send them back for free. They really are a great company the original one.

Looking for comfort ! These shoes are it. I have wide feet and it hugs my feet and doesn’t make my feet look wide or big. I also have a low arch and supports my feet so nicely and I like the styles as well

A classic worth the investment. Their Boston slides are the "sandal" of Fall/Winter and I'm so glad they made a comeback!

Magnificent products, each and every one superb. The built in support is a Godsend. These have made Mules trendy again. They go with everything and can be worn in baking heat. I wore them traveling to Turkey it was a very long journey. A lot of standing and walking. No discomfort whatsoever. Was delighted. Great product.

I have has at least 4 pairs of birks (both sandals and a tennis shoes style). They are extremely comfortable and well-made. I have narrow feet and have found that the narrow-style sandals work better for me than the standard sandals. I usually get the narrow sandals directly from Birkenstock’s website.
