This is the real deal. Cork, leather, a buckle or two: these are the simple ideas that have made feet happy for over two hundred years, and that's the original Birkenstock. These shoes are made in Germany since 1774. No smoke, no mirrors, and no gizmos are needed. You walk, the shoe molds to your foot. The shape of the Original Birkenstock Footbed enables body weight to be distributed evenly over the whole foot, providing it with optimal support.

These CANNOT be Birkenstock’s; they fell apart after wearing them for a month
These Birkenstock’s have got to be fakes. They completely broke to the point that they are unwearable. I took very good care of them using the products suggested by Birkenstock. I’m only a month into summer and am out over $100 and have no sandals. I’d like to get my money back so I can buy some real Birkenstock’s. This time I’m not even bothering with the so-called Milano ‘s with the soft foot bed for fear that the shoes I purchased were in fact made by Birkenstock and that they have lowered their standards below those of sweat shops paying 10 cents an hour. I’m hoping to be able to afford to purchase the oiled leather Milano’s with the hard footbed straight from Birkenstock ...and hopefully these, once I get them, will last.

Once you go Birks, you stay Birks
My feet have been in Birks when not in boots (retired Army) since 1992. Yes, you read that right, at the time of this review, I have been wearing Birks for 28 years. I have had 2 pairs of Arizona sandals (one still in service) and 4 pairs of Milano sandals (2 still in service, this pair is the 4th), two pairs of London (or is it Boston?) shoes, one brown, one black, both in service. Not many pairs for 28 years, since Birks are durable, and can be refurbished/renewer with new foot beds and outsoles, leather restored for around $80. So, they are recyclable in a sense.All this to say - this product is not a fake. I know Birks. These are Birks. Newsflash, Birks are “popular” and a fad again. No doubt Birkenstock is struggling to keep up with demand, and perhaps quality is suffering. But not with this new pair, for me at least- the quality is the same as ever. I took a picture of new and old next to each other.I got this pair since I was interested in trying the soft bed, and typically I get the Nubuck leather. I wanted to try a new brown leather, as well as have a new pair for fancy hippy get together. Well. I make a horrible hippy. Sure, I wear Birks and drive a Subaru. But - I have short hair, don’t smoke MJ (or any drugs for that matter) and am politically independent / Libertarian.The leather in this pair is shiny, not at all like the product listing photos. The picture of them on my feet show the difference. However, I like the leather, as it is different for me.The soft bed? Absolutely fabulous! I am glad that I gave the soft bed a go!

FRAUD!!!!!
Be aware! Purchased this item a few months back, in February, the quality of the sandals was despicable, my husband's feet clearly did not fit, the sandals were suppose to fit wide feet, not a chance!!! This is not our first purchase of this brand. Returned it the same day, still waiting for my refund. My Amazon credit card account never got the refund back, however, Amazon site posted as it's been settled. Now I am back and forth between the credit card people and Amazon site, frustrated, obviously someone is trying to scam us of money and there is not much help. I expected more from Amazon!!!!

BEWARE, just BEWARE!
I’ve worn Birkenstocks for over 30 years, so I know how they fit and feel. I couldn’t get my foot into this sandal, though it’s my normal size. The straps didn’t even meet, much less buckle! I tried to get some sort of refund through the Birkenstock company and they refused to replace or refund. They were rude. So I’ve been stuck with these never worn sandals.

I bought a pair or Burks without the back strap several years ago and loved them. I picked up these recently because I was looking for a pair that allowed me to hike easier without worrying about losing a sandal on the rocks or uneven terrain - these are perfect. Fit great and are breaking in much easier than my last pair - I love them!

Happy feet again.
Been a fan of these for decades, they've gotten pricey but nothing else compares for me.

Classic and comfy - Love them!
I love my Birks. This was my first pair with the soft footbed, and they are SO COMFY! I am about to start my third summer in these Birks and they are still in great shape with daily wear. I've cleaned the footbeds with baking soda at the end of each summer and they look as good as new each time. The soles still have plenty of life and the cork is perfect. The straps and buckles have held up as well. I hope to get many more seasons out of these favorites! A note on sizing - I am a 6.5 with a wide-ish foot. I wear a 36 with a regular footbed in Birks. I have purchased the narrow footbed by accident in the past and ended up with blisters on the bottoms of my feet. boo! If you've never worn Birkenstock shoes before, it may be beneficial to try them on in a store before buying online. Or, you may be better off sizing down (based on the size chart, i should wear a 37 but they are way too big).
