User Reviews
I was a long time birkenstock wearer, but the soles always wore out long before the rest of the sandal - generally, a year or less. Many years back, it was not hard to find a place that would resole birkenstocks for $15. When the store near me stopped doing that, they said that it was due to birkenstock making it harder for independents to get the material for that. For a long time, I stopped wearing them - $80 is too much for a sandal that wears out in a year or less. In recent years, I started finding similar alternative brands. The soles wore out in a similar time, but the price was not far from the cost to resole my originals. Comfort varied though. These Northsides have a comfort that matches the originals and great price as well. Other brands have missed on the comfort. These hit the mark. Definitely recommend.
Needed to replace my son's sandals even though it was an off brand. No complaints they were a perfect fit.
These are a very nice alternative to Birks. They're comfortable and look great. The materials seem to be well stitched and the metal components are strong enough to withstand some gentle tugging just don't force them too hard. They fit about like I expected. I wear size 10 1/2 and bought 11's. The 11's work I just have to slide my arch and adjust the straps to make my foot work with the molded arch in the sole. All around a good buy for those of us who like the look of Birks but aren't willing to shell out $$$ for hipster brand names.
Fist off the shipping on these was ultra fast, I ordered these on the 15th got them on the 18th and they were shipped from WA state to southeast TX without prime. Size was perfect, I wear mens size 11 and ordered 11's and the fit is just right. I had a pair of Birkenstock sandals for years and decided to give these a try, the cork and rubber sole on these look identical to the Birkenstock's, The straps/sides are more like swede leather where as the Birkenstock's were a stiffer leather, the buckles look identical other then the name stamped in the Birkenstock's and both brands have 4 buckle adjustment holes in the straps. Overall these should be great sandals and the price is about 1/4 of the Birkenstock's. Highly recommend and hope this help's others.
This item is simply not worth buying…it uses a few elements from Birkenstock, but is not even close in quality or construction.first, Birkenstocks use a deep foot area with raised ridges front and back which hold your foot on the shoe bed. This one has barely raised edges, leaving the shoe to hold your foot about the way flip flops do. There is no way you will ever get the support or fit that Birkenstocks provide.Second, the material its made from is simply shoddy. As an example the buckles are almost too flimsy to adjust, and will surely break in short order. The strap suede is really thin. The soles are also quite thin.To add insult to injury, there is a $5 shipping fee when you buy this shoe, and another $5 when you return it. The seller does accept returns, but, the buyer pays the cost of this flimsy excuse for a sandal.Avoid this seller and this shoe!!
I bought these for my husband. He wears a size 9 but just in case, I bought a size 10. They barely fit him and the sole of the shoe is super hard. By sole, I mean the sides that come up around your foot. They are like stepping on a rock. I love how well made these are, and the price was phenomenal for such a good product, just think that maybe the labeling of sizes was done wrong.
This was a really good support of shoe for very flat feet. Provide support and holds together well. Would recommend.
Took about a day or two of wear for them to be really comfortable, but those first two days kind of sucked. I thought about returning them. now I barely notice they're on my feet. There is a padded section on the heel that almost instantly went flat from wear and I don't think they added much comfort to it. For the price, I don't think you'll find something closer to certain prestigious brands out there.
