These are my first pair of Birks and I am a big fan! I have flat feet, but don't have any pain because I strengthen them with yoga. That being said, having the cork foot bed with all the added support under your toes and mid sole is really comforting. I wore these on a hike around the Torrey Pines trails and had no issues, I didn't have hiking shoes, but now I might just wear these on short hikes anyways. I wear a size 9.5-10 street shoe and ordered the 42 which means I sized down a half size. (they fit perfectly)

"Birken" should be a verb. Because these are awesome and it makes the wearer awesome.

I love birken around in these.

When in a stump of what to get my husband for his birthday, a week after Christmas, I went for this classic! You just can never go wrong. He loved them, best gift ever!
These do run large!! So size down a full size. He had a good inch or two of room in the 42's, and usually wears a size 9 US Men's. So we exchanged for a size 41 for him.
I have a pair in womens, and he has had some in the past that met the fate of a puppy. Other than the puppy's jaws, Birkenstocks are made to last and will hold up really well over time, fitting your feet perfectly as you wear them!

Purchased these as a gift for my dad. He loves them! Very comfortable and easy to get on and off. I'd size down. They do run a little large so I do recommend sizing down.

Purchased these for my son who has always wanted a pair of Birkenstocks. They have not disappointed, he has not taken them off since Christmas morning even though it has been rainy and icey in Portland. He loves the fit have the classic look Birkenstocks are famous for.

Got this for my daughter as an early Christmas gift. She absolutely loves them! It gets pretty chilly in our area during the winter, but have been lucky to have a long stretch of dry days...she hasn't worn any of her other shoes since.
Well worth the price. Comfy and durable enough to withstand a teenager's busy lifestyle. Will definitely get a pair for myself! :-)

The sandels were a great purchase. The size was just right and the quality of the sandels were really good.

This was my first pair of Birkenstock and I love them! I am a size 10.5-11 in Nike skate shoes and bought a size 44. At first the size was a bit snug, but once you start wearing them more, they start to mold to your foot and become the most comfortable sandle ever. After wearing them for a whole summer they are a little big on me now, but you have an adjustable strap to hold you in. I like how easy on and off they are. Over all great shoe and would highly recommend for all sorts of adventures!

These are the best sandals. They are super comfortable, once you break them in. It takes a few days for them to fit perfect. They fit true to size. They seem very durable and likely to last years.

Great casual sandal for anytime use. The initial break in period of birks is always hard but once they form to your feet these are like a glove! I normally wear an 11 but sized down to the 43 and they're perfect.

Honestly we are obsessed and just purchased a pair for the entire family. So comfortable and practical. Worth every penny and you can't go wrong. They are SO comfortable.

During my college and high-school years I probably wore through 10 pairs of these. The design hasn't changed all that much. They're comfortable and protect your feet better than most open sandals. For hitting a summer concert or BBQ, these sandals are the way to go. Sizing is subtle and may vary, I can wear a 42-44. All depends on how much room you want for the toes, or if you're the Birk & Socks kinda person. You can't go wrong with these.

I bought these for my boyfriend and he loves the leather. He has had the suede in the past and wears through them so fast, the leather will definitely last longer! It also looks great as it distresses!

There is no more comfortable sandal on the planet. I have worn this exact model for years, and am probably on my 3rd or 4th pair. The sole has to mold to your foot, so give them 1-2 days of normal use and they will fit like a glove..... for your foot...

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I couldn't be more stoked with them. They were a little uncomfortable for the first day or so, but after a week in them, I have a hard time not wearing them everywhere. They are extremely comfortable and are forming to my foot so well. Give them a try, and you won't regret it!

I haven't put them thru the wringer yet, but so far they are pretty nice! Especially post ride or run, just to slip them on is very handy. They are certainly built strong as they feel almost like they have more sole then even my running shoes.
