I love Birkenstocks and have been wearing them for years, because they are so comfortable, but they are quite expensive. I have read other reviews where people say they have been wearing the same pair for years. That is not my experience. I wear mine instead of slippers when at home, and the cork soles last barely a year. Usually the cork sole disintegrates at the front. I find it disappointing that - considering the cost - they do not last longer.... Show more

Cut massive
Absolute joke. I ordered these for my partner as a Christmas present at the beginning of November. Wrapped them up and he was thrilled with them until he tried them on to discover they were huge (all his shoes are 10.5’s) been told I can’t return or exchange them because the time has passed. Explained that there was no way of knowing earlier because they were brought as a Christmas gift. I can’t afford to throw that kind of money away and it’s ruined his present cause I can’t exchange for a smaller size! ASOS HAVE JUST LOST A LONG TIME CUSTOMER!... Show more

Fake!!!! BUYER BEWARE!
These are fake, I was trying replace my current ones with a new pair. Thought I was getting a good deal. Wording is not supposed to be yellow, size is supposed to go after foot stamp but it doesn't and to top it off fake leather! Why???? Packaging was correct even with wrapping, but I knew something was up when it package got held up in customs. Paid a lot of money to be duped. I can't believe Walmart doesn't verify what they are selling on their website. I am so upset, what a joke!... Show more

Light weight
I actually bought these in the leather alternative - apologies to my vegan friends. I get blisters very easily, especially in summer so needed leather. I measured my foot length and chose 3.5 in narrow fit. My shoe size is 4 (trainers 5). Was a little concerned they weren't long enough t'il I realised your foot needs to fit exactly into the 'indentations'. I'm now converted, they hold my foot securely, without rubbing or chaffing, I almost don't feel I have anything on my feet. Hopefully they will last as long as other reviews suggest 🤞🏼... Show more

Most comfortable shoes
I have bought several pairs of these shoes for my two daughters and l. We probably have, if not close to every different style of straps to the different materials that they make them in to several different colors. We absolutely love our Birkenstocks! They are the most comfortable sandles/shoes made (my opinion). We wear our older ones, just as much as we do the ones we’ve purchased most recent. They are all in great shape, the suede might hv lightened up a little from the sun, a llittle rough in some spots from sand or got wet, just normal wear and tear like anything else. They get a little more computable every time I put them on. Everyone I notice wearing a pair of Birkenstocks has made it clear they “definitely do not regret purchasing them and are the most ...

Narrow fit not regular
I have owned Birkenstocks in the past and they are always very good. These look great and arrived and looked just as good as the picture. I love the colour. Unfortunately, as many have already said on here I had to return them because they were a narrow fit not regular.I was told by the customer service that if I ordered them again, they will be regular because they come up as regular on the system. After returning and re-ordering three times I have now given up. I was told by the last customer service person that there were some more coming in in August but I would need to phone back to see if they were regular or narrow fit. I don't have confidence that they will know though because when I phoned up and checked the second time I ordered they reassured me they ...

And they weren't. Nice shoes though shame they weren't the right fit.... Show more

Not for me. But maybe right for You.
Sadly I had to return them. I am a size 5 and tbf they were perfect size. The quality I felt, wasn't the birkenstock feel I know, it felt strange. I loved the brown colour. This colour would go with anything and I chose it as something different to black! I have seen this colour being worn with different outfits and thought 'yeah' that's lovely.. SADLY, I returned them as the narrow is narrow! And they were very uncomfortable. The material felt a bit weird to me too, almost plastic/lino/pretend leather, that was my first impression btw ~ not for me but I would def recommend people try...... Show more

Pricetag sticker ruined the show sale!
These were a regular priced item, no discount. The store put price stickers on the footbed of the shoe, which would not come off. Had we continued to try, it would have ruined the shoe. The sales agent tried and said there was no way it was coming off. Again, these were a full priced, non-discounted item. We ended up going to another retailer to purchase the shoe without a sticker on it. Poor choice in labeling the shoe that way. No one wants to pay full price for a shoe that will have a sticker on it (tacky) or get ruined by removing it. We still got the shoe but you lost the sale.... Show more

Seems like something changed but still enjoyable
I wear birkenstock for almost 15 years, between 4 and 10 hours per day. I tried many other brands and copies they were as good as true birk's. In the past I also had wide footbeds that fitted perfectly and soft footbeds that were so comfy. These sandals I just bought seem to be wide enough for my large foot even if it was not written on the box nor narrow, but the arch under the toes goes a little too angulated... Hope it will fit my foot perfectly in few weeks as I walk with them. The birko flor material is a bit hard but I'm sure it will soften with uses.... Show more

So comfy
I was extremely apprehensive about purchasing Birkenstocks as they are quite expensive for sandals, however I understand the hype now! They are so comfy and have moulded to my feet perfectly. It took about a week for them to be worn in, but I've had no issues with rubbing or blisters. I bought the narrow fit sandals as they were slightly cheaper but they fit perfectly, and I don't have narrow feet! The first pair I bought had a lot of glue on them so I returned them, but the second pair I ordered were perfect. Really happy with the quality, fit, colour and size. Would definitely recommend this product.... Show more
