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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
They are very comfortable and if you maintain the sole per instructions they will last for many many years. I have worn them since I grew up in Germany and then introduced them to my husband and sons here in the US.
These are the best summer sandals, once you break them in. They are totally worth the money since they last for years. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is because I've been hearing from friends that some of the newer ones aren't holding up as long as the older ones do. When it comes to styles, I prefer the thong sandals (Gizeh) made from the vegan (Birko-Flor) material. My favorite color right now is the metallic stone black. If you are looking for a sturdy, comfortable show, I recommend giving Birkenstocks a try.
I have owned several pairs of Birkenstocks for years. I think it takes a bit to break in but they are a timeless and comfortable shoe. I wear them everywhere.
I absolutely love birkenstock clogs. I love that they offer both wide and narrow footbeds and the comfort is top notch. I have a pair now that have lasted me for years and I expect for them to last many more.
Comfortable sandals! Love that they are so easy to slip on and off, yet still accepted as outdoor shoes
I have had the same pair of Birkenstock sandals for more than 15 years and I have only needed to have them resoled once. I’ve had them so long they have gone out of style and back in more than once. They are kinda fugly depending on the day but they are always comfortable and durable. I’ll probably own the same pair for the rest of my life.
I purchased a luxury-looking pair of Birkenstocks from Saks Fifth Avenue—they were women's brown "crocodile" leather and on sale. Being my first pair I wasn't sure what to expect, but they met my expectations (comfortable, more high-end-looking casual sandals) and were true to what I'd heard from others. I *did* order a half a size down and they fit perfect. They are comfy and while they do need to be broken in to some extent, their wide sole is a welcome change from my other shoes. I look forward to trying other styles as the one style I bought has large buckets and I realized I don't love the look of those.
I mean they’re Birks, right? You don’t get much better than that! So comfortable and high quality with satisfaction guaranteed.

These are a staple at this point. It took me a long time to cave to Birk culture but honestly, I needed the arch support. They're made to last and I'm very glad they've started offering more fun styles that can be dressed up.

Wardrobe staple. Love that they have styles for more narrow feet.

Most comfortable shoes I've worn and last forever. I love how fashionable they are getting lately too. Only gripe is if they get wet they go a bit yucky.
I embraced the trend and have no regrets. My parents have been wearing them for years, and I always dreaded the day when I would follow suit. Just like rainbow sandals, the more you wear them, the more they improve over time.
Hate to say it, but I fell victim to buying the Boston Birks when they were extremely popular, and let me tell you they live up to the hype. I got the black ones with fur inside for winter, which is a little depressing because I can't wear them in Las Vegas during the summer, but as soon as it hits below 75 degrees I will be pulling those bad boys out of my closet and wearing them all winter.
I am so glad these are back in style! I have a pair that’s probably 20 years old that are still so comfortable. They mold to your feet! The newer plastic ones are great for water activities

I bought my boyfriend some bosten birks and he really loves them. They offer him enough support for going on morning walks and are comfy enough to relax in too. They are durable and have stood up for the past six months or so. They are versatile and can be styled many different ways, these make a great gift. 👟👟👟👟👟
thank god birks are cool again. I wear the shearling lined arizona's year round with or without socks. They are incredibly comfortable. I also love, love, love the EVA foam arizonas for the being out in the garden. They are so easy to hose off and they don't get slippery when wet.
What else is there to say that hasn't already been said... Birks are the most comfortable and easy shoes ever AND help with arch support AND can go with anything.
If you told my 13-year-old self that I'd be wearing Birkenstock jesus sandals on a regular basis, I'd say you were lying. The comfort and quality are fantastic, they take a bit to break in but once that happens you don't want to go anywhere without them. The only reason I've replaced mine is that I've flattened the soles so much that I'm walking on leather instead of rubber. Their collabs are amazing too!
I used to wear the Boston's when I was a kid and was shocked to see 'em make a comeback, but hey, all good things come back around, right? I have two pairs of rubber two-strap sandals in black and white and am always reaching for them to head to the beach or grocery store. the shoes are genuinely comfortable, well priced, and high quality.
