I love this shoe. It fits great and it's comfortable!
I bought $180- Birkenstock shoes . It’s not worth it at all . For 2 weeks it felt very comfortable , then it felt so uncomfortable that I felt to throw in the trash . But the thing is I bought it for $180 I can’t just throw away something that is so expensive. It is worth to find a cheaper and good quality shoes for your feet
From the moment my feet settled into my shoes my feet feel wonderful. The old saying “l need to break in my shoes” is corny. Shoes like Birkenstock’s fit perfectly and do not cause blisters. I love all my Birkenstock shoes and sandals.
I bought the nut brown, not the one that looks this color, the one that looks darker. I'm a little disappointed. They do scuff really easy, I've worn these 2 days and they look like this. I do not baby my shoes and I prefer work boots honestly. Due to plantar fasciitis, I can't wear my boots right now. These won't take a beating but they are a comfy shoe. They are similar in fit to my other birks but with a tie up shoe convenience for winter. Ugly but comfy, works for me!
I absolutely love the comfort of these shoes , my plantar facsciitis is improving a lot by wearing them .
I ordered a size up from my Birkenstock sandal size and was happy with the fit. I have foot issues and Birkenstocks are the least painful for my feet. Would buy again.
Had been wanting these for sometime but no Birkenstock store nearby. Unfortunately ordered the size normally wear with but to small and had to return. Shoes were nice and one size larger might be the solution. Love birks so I will try again!
These shoes fit great and are so comfortable but I have had them under a year and the sole of the shoes has broken away from the outer sole on both shoes. I have owned a pair of these shoes before and wore them every day for three years and this never happened before. These shoes are not cheap and should last for longer than 10 months.
