    Advantages Advantages Feather light

    Disadvantages Disadvantages pricey

    I struggle to find well fitting, comfortable shoes ever since my hubby stood on my little toe when I was wearing flip flops a couple of years ago. Now the said toe sits at a jaunty angle, quite at odds with the rest of my digits. Judging by the pain I felt at the time and for weeks afterwards I have concluded that he broke it and it's reset itself. He does swear it was an accident to this day but I have my doubts. Anyway, wearing summery sandals displays my tortured toe in all its glory and I've been struggling to find something that is both comfortable, summery and, most importantly keeps my ... more

    I can't wait until the summer arrives! Apart from those long sunny days and light evenings I love wearing sandals. However I am not talking about any old sandals, for me sandals equal Birkenstock. Every year I treat myself to a new pair from the ever-growing range offered by the Birkenstock Company. Its not that last years have worn out you understand, just that buying the latest, gorgeous addition is one of my summer vices! Before I tell you why I am hooked on these sandals let me tell you a bit about the company. A potted history. ******************* The Birkenstock name has been associated ... more

    5 Stars Clumsy & Comfy 21/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages comfy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages clumsy

    I’ve done something I thought I’d never do, I’ve bought a pair of Birkenstock sandals! Why have I waited for so long? Because they’re ugly and clumsy, why have I bought them after all? Because I needed white sandals, they were the only white ones I could find, they’re not expensive and they’re comfy. Some years ago it wouldn’t have made sense to tell British readers something about this brand, although Birkenstock was first marketed in the UK in 1975, it was not widely known, it was restricted mainly to dyed-in-the-wool greens, hippies and vegans. All this changed in 2002 when Gwyneth Paltrow ... more

    5 Stars Birkenstocks Excellent quality and comfort - well worth the price 12/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Durable, comfortable, reasonably priced, always in fashion

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cork sole tends to break with lots of use

    I am a big fan of birkenstocks, my fiancee and I both wear them all the time. Between us, we've had the Roma, Ramses, Boston, Boston Microfibre and I am sure a few other pairs. They are rediculously comfortable when you get used to them. I will admit, when you first put them on they can be a bit stiff and even uncomfortable. It take a few weeks until the cork sole starts taking shape of your foot but after you get through that, than you won't be able to take them off. They are especially good for long walks. The craftsmanship of the birkenstock goes back something like 250 years and this is ... more

    5 Stars Birkenstocks give your feet the support they deserve! 12/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Extremely comfy, last years, good for your feet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Need to regularly apply cork sealant in order to make them last longer

    I bought my first pair of Birkenstocks 4 years ago and I am still wearing the very same pair now! They are the 'Madrid' style (one thick strap across the front of your foot). I have just gone and bought myself a new pair, this time the 'Mayari' style, which has two thinner straps and a loop whole for your big toe. .....'Madrid'...... When I bought my first pair of Madrids I wasn't overly enamoured by the look of them. However the feel of them on my feet overrode any concerns my inner fashionable self had with them! I bought them in Costco for about £20 so the price wasn't really a problem ... more

    5 Stars I love my birkies! 23/08/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages these are the most comfortable sandals you will ever wear!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Due to the high demand you have to queue up at their outlets or bid on ebay

    I purchased my first pair of purple (madrid style) birkenstock sandals in May after a recommendation from another birkenstock owner! I wore them on numerous shopping trips and also out on those bright summer evenings which seem to have disappeared recently! After wearing them as an alternative to trainers (my old favourite style of footwear!) and also on nights out as an alternative to painful high heels my partner actually ended up buying me another pair in black so I could wear them to work with my black suit! There are only a few disadvantages to these shoes. Firstly that they are hard to ... more

    5 Stars Simply Sheer Comfort 05/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Comfort. Reliable company.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None.

    I've had my Birkies for nearly 4 years and live and die in them all summer. They're the most comfortable pair of sandals I've ever had and would recommend them to anyone. Even after all the time I've had them there is only slight wear on the sole. I wear them to work, for casual and they look good with anything. Even on the hottest days they seem to keep my feet cool, especially the soles. At first glance they appear to be pricey but they just seem to go on and on and still look as good as the day I first got them. I also like the fact that they are available in standard or narrow fitting as ... more

    5 Stars My girlfriend loves her birks more than me 26/07/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages comfortable and practical

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Ever since she got her birkenstock clogs she has never taken them off, she says they are the most comfortable shoes she has ever bought and even when i tried them on i found the same thing even though they were 3 sizes too small! She wears them everyday all day and they don't look worn and tired. I'm not sure about the quality of service from the providers but i definately know the products are of very high standard. They are definately worth buying i think because you definately get wear out of them. I'm not sure about other styles of birkenstock shoe but i hear off other people similar ... more
