I know there are a lot of fake Birkenstock’s out there, and I was apprehensive about getting these. I did a lot of research before taking a chance. They ARE the real thing. I have had a lot of Birkenstock’s in my day, all of them bought in a store or on their official website. This time I had a gift card for Amazon, so I was determined to use it. I only wear Birkenstocks (I live in Texas where it’s hot or warm pretty much all year), so I am obviously a fan. They are prizey, but worth the money, I think. I wear mine all day, every day and they last me 1-2 years. Quality product. As usual, they have to be worn in, and they become softer and more comfortable the more you wear them. They are hard when they first arrive, but wear them around the house the first week or two, and you’ll be good. The pictures are after I wore them for about two weeks. They shipped from Leipzig, Germany and arrived with DHL, after just 2 days. I was very pleasantly surprised since they weren’t supposed to arrive for another month! I did read somewhere that Birkenstock will only sell their shoes through Amazon until April 2019, so be aware of that.

This shoe was and still is superbly comfortable. I couldn’t believe the cushioned support from a cork footbed “flip flop” style sandal. The shoes go with everything and the color is the main attraction. However, after only wearing them August, September and part of October, the shoe is beat-up! They look as though I have had them for years and wore them through rugged terrain. They were only worn on grass, pavement or indoors. The leather is scratched, ripping or actually looks more like peeling and the buckle is scratched and tarnish. I will no longer wear them other than around the house or to do messy outside work. They are actually embarrassing when on my feet and look old, beat down and dirty. For the brand and price tag, I expected to get a lot of use out of these. Hoping Amazon will stand behind the product they sell; as it was Prime, and either replace or reimburse.

Fits like a dream, im in love. This is my second pair of Birkenstocks. Im used to open toe style sandals, but these are way more comfortable! I thought i would have to break them in, but the were so comfortable right out of the gate due to the suede top and the soft foot bed, trust me its AMAZING! I got the 37 N EU / 6-6.5 2A(N) and its a perfect snug fit. I usually ware a 7 in most sandals and shoes, but i do have very narrow feet. If you have narrow feet, you must get narrow Birkenstocks, otherwise they are to sloppy and it will be to hard to walk in them. Side Note: if you are new to Birks or not used to walking in open toe sandals it will be an adjustment for you. as this style has a loose feel. Make sure you heal, toes, and the sides of your feet are close to the shoe edges. and you should be able to fit a finger between the top of your foot and the top straps. The best advise i can give is get SOFT FOOD BED Birks, if you want no break in time get Birkes with a suede top as well. Its the perfect combo.

I got the copper leather version, size 38N (I normally wear a womens US 7, and theyre the perfect fit for me). These feel just like I remember when I was a kid! Soooo comfortable. I wish they were less expensive-- this was a splurge. If they were, I would buy more colors. Happy with my purchase!

I cant speak yet for the fit as they are a Christmas present for my husband and he hasnt opened them yet. But I am VERY DISAPPOINTED that these Birkenstocks are NOT Leather like the amazon label said. I nearly broke the internet trying to track down a pair of size 14 or 15 mens birkenstocks and SPECIFICALLY DID NOT WANT the ones with the straps made of what they call "Birko-flor". Its a non-leather material. I wanted the all leather ones. The ones I purchased were labeled "Leather" on the amazon site. Once I got them and was looking at them the only part that was leather was the footbed where your foot actually rests in the shoe. on closer inspection of the box label in tiny letters it says "Birko-flor", The EXACT ONES I DID NOT WANT! I hate synthetic shoes. Especially if they are $99.97! But now it is too late to exchange them or hunt them down in the material I want, which for some random reason seem to be out of stock everywhere. Apparently a mens 14-15 is a popular Birkenstock size ???????
