BEWARE - White Eva Birks Stain Due To Oxidation!
I purchased both the black and white Eva Waterproof Arizona Birkenstocks back in January. I figured the white would be a perfect sandal for special occasions when I want to wear something crisp. I have literally worn them twice this summer and today I noticed orange colored stains on the footbed of my white Evas. I just looked at other reviews and this does not seem to be uncommon unfortunately. My black ones have been worn almost every day this summer - no complaints. However, to spend $50 on white sandals that stained immediately due to oxidation, well that is disappointing. Since this was an in store purchase, I will bring them in to see what they say about a refund or replacement.... Show more

Great shoes. Terrible quality from Dick's Sporting Goods.
I own these shoes from other sellers, and I love the look, quality, and comfort of them. I have ordered probably 6 pair from Dick's Sporting Goods in the eggshell color over the last few weeks, and they are absolutely terrible quality. They have shown up with no tags, chunks missing out of the shoes, little pieces of the material hanging off the edges everywhere, or completely unfinished edges. I purchased them at a great price with rewards and a price match, so I'd really like to get a decent pair of them I can actually wear. Maybe it is the end of the season for Birkenstock sandals, as my size and color are nowhere to be found other than Dick's. Otherwise I would purchase them elsewhere. I believe they really should have a department at their warehouse for quality ... MoreI own these shoes from other sellers, and I love the look, quality, and comfort of them.

I will say, their customer service has been very nice each time I have called to get help with receiving so many bad shoes. Unfortunately, no one has solved my issue yet or sent a quality pair of shoes. I'm very disappointed with my purchase.... Show more

I wish I could say I loved these
I love Birkenstocks. I love the Arizona Essential Eva’s. I ordered 2 pairs recently because I was so excited that they had the Candy Pink in size 41. (It’s hard to find the larger sizes in the cute/pretty colors.). I also ordered the Sky Blue in size 41.What I received was a size 38 in Blue and a size 29 in Beetroot. So disappointing! Unfortunately they are out of the Candy Pink in size 41 now. They were a graduation gift so it makes it even worse.I paid $99.90 for two pairs. The pairs I got both had tags on them for $37.99. So not only did I not get the pairs I ordered, they were going to cheat me out of my money.I understand that mistakes can be made. This just makes me hesitate to buy from Dicks again.*when I called the customer service line, the woman ... MoreI love Birkenstocks. I love the Arizona Essential Eva’s.

LOVE THEM!!!!
I love these so much I got 2 pairs! At the price point and being EVA, I didn't have super high expectations for these, just thought they were going to be like the rest of my similar slip-on/slide sandals, but I have been blown away by them so far. They are SO comfortable and have an incredible footbed. I've been wearing these all summer around the house, running errands, to concerts, and anytime I'm on the way to go do a sport where I don't want to wear the sport footwear until it's time for them, like my paddle shoes or hiking boots. They're also great for hiking/backpacking, as they're great camp shoes and for river/creek crossings. 10/10, highly recommended! I recently got the gold and they are FABULOUS! I have very narrow feet and these are perfect. I wear an ... MoreI love these so much I got 2 pairs!

They fit right on the money but I do think the 40 would be close enough to work, too.... Show more

Outstanding sandal for muddy or wet areas
I've worn Birkenstock for more than 30 years. I love them, comfort, fit and (nearly always) durability. More than twenty years ago, I did have the strap separate from the sandals, while traveling in rural Mexico, without a second pair of shoes. That was an experience: I wear size 14, not available in thatarea with citizens typically a foot shorter than my 6' 3"! We survived by using a leather belt from another member of the group… tough for a while.But, it's the only time I've managed to wear out a pair.This pair is the first that I've owned in plastic instead of leather. Perfect for the beach, and exercise swimming. Lovely sole, with just the right contours. I don't expect to be able to wear them out!My only complaint- I wear a size 14 shoe. This sandal is a ...

Painful heals
I was in the DSW Pasadena store today, Saturday, January 6th. I've been suffering from heel pain for the last couple of months and it's gotten worse in the last couple of weeks. This sandal has made such a drastic difference in the comfort that I experienced in comparison to the other shoes I'm wearing. IIf you are suffering from Plantar fasciitis (PLAN-tur fas-e-I-tis) is one of the most common causes of heel pain.It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of each foot and connects the heel bone to the toes, known as the plantar fascia. You should try the sandal it comes in a ray of colors. I bought mine and silver.I also bought a pair of Brooks ghost sneakers. Oh my goodness you must try this sneaker. The cost is $139.99, ...

Plastic Sandals?? No, thanks!!
I went to REI to find some brown sandals after what we normally consider “the end of summer.” It has been a weird year. It’s October and still 80-something every day. I knew I would not find many sandals at my favorite store and I was right. Not a single pair left. I was bummed. Then I turned around and saw a huge display of plastic sandals, lots of them were brown and some in my size. I laughed and said to the sales woman “No, thanks, I’m not buying plastic sandals.” She said they aren’t really plastic but some non-plastic material that forms to your feet. I was skeptical but also desperate. I wailed, “I need sandals, it’s so hot outside! Okay, I’ll take them.” She said that they were disappearing fast and I was lucky to find a pair in my size. I gave up! I brought ... MoreI went to REI to find some brown sandals after what we normally consider “the end of summer.” It has been a weird year. It’s October and still 80-something every day.

Surprisingly cute, comfy and super light weight
I grew up in Germany the land of Birkenstock's ;). They did not have the reputation of being pretty & were worn by tree huggers mostly (nothing wrong with tree hugging) not fashionistas. I still can't unsee all the men wearing them with socks. That being said, I needed a pair of comfy sandals to walk to & from the beach. I bought the pink/white tie dye ones & they are actually quite cute. I have super narrow feet, needed to adjust the buckles to the last hole. Like how light they are. Perfect!... Show more

These are TERRIBLY Made! Made of very cheap foam
These are TERRIBLY Made! I knew they would be plastic and thought they'd be made of croc-type material. Instead they were made of a foam that was a teensy bit more permanent feeling that shaving cream. Honestly thought they might dissolve if I wore them outside. My husband even said they look like I bought them for $5 off of amazon. I didn't even wear them and just returned them immediately. It was obvious one wear would ruin them and I wouldnt be able to return them. And believe me, I wanted my money back for these crap-olas.... Show more

Ugly and Cheap
These feel like play foam paper that kids craft with. It looks like it was cut like a child at the edges too. They feel like walking on cardboard/styrofoam and with no give. Dust and hair clings to it like it’s special feature is a lint roller. This is my first pair of the renowned Birkenstocks and I am very disappointed. I will be returning. I bought these to wear to the beach so I was expecting a bit of a plastic feel, but nothing as cheap as this. The recommendation to size up is accurate. It’s funny that the pebble design on the back make it look like actual styrofoam.... Show more
