I tried these on in store. WOW! They felt amazing on my feet. They are not much to look at but feel great to wear. They were over $200 though and I just couldn't justify that on a pair of what are essentially flip flops. Sure would like to receive these as a gift though!

i would NEVER buy these again. I heard so much good things about these sandals that i decided to buy them for myself and it was the WORST DECISION EVER! I was told that once I break them in they would be comfortable but let me tell you that it does not happen. I've got blisters after blisters from these and its just not fun. They've occurred on the bottom of both my feet almost every single time i wear them. Definitely not worth the money buying these!

definitely my favourite sandals around, great for walking, wearing around the house and anything in general that involves a lot of walking, very comfortable, never find my feet aching after wearing them

Some think these are not very stylish, but they sure make up for it in comfort. I only were Birks these days and can keep going all day. They are available in a variety of styles and materials. I do like the leather ones but find the patterns available in man-made are fun. I even have a pair in patent leather for dressy occasions. The can be rebuilt over and over so are a great investment.

Best sandals ever. They never hurt my feet or give me blisters. Worth every penny!

I've owned a number of Birkenstock shoes and sandals, but my all time favourite style is the Madrid - it has a single strap, and is, conveniently, the cheapest style of the leather collection. My Madrids get a lot of wear as I wear them as slippers around the house as well as sandals outside. My first paid of Madrids lasted 11 years, but my second pair only lasted a little over two years. I'm not sure if the fabrication changed or if I just used them more frequently (I literally wore them every single day for over two years).

They may get a reputation as being hippy shoes, but they'll always be in style and wil always be comfortable.

I have these Birkenstocks and I love them. It took a couple wears to break them in but now they feel awesome. I would buy more of these but they are a bit expensive.

worth every penny and my feet thank me for it. Takes a little while to wear them in but my feet and back feel so much better

These are the ugliest sandals I've ever seen.

I finally broke down and purchased a pair of Birkenstock sandals for our up coming trip to Italy & Greece. I am actually surprised at how fashionable and comfortable they really are. I have a hard time fitting shoes as I have flat feet and bunions so I was a little skeptical about these but they really are comfortable. I highly recommend these and I will probably purchase another pair to have on our holiday.
