Birkenstock Shoes Reviews

The first time I saw Birkenstocks I thought they were the ugliest sandals I had ever seen. But then I saw more and more people wearing them and I came to think of them as quite nice-looking. I finally got round to buying my own (white Madrids) this summer and have worn them several times, whenever weather has permitted. Initially they ...  Read the complete review

Ahh, the promise of summer...hot days, shorts, tee-shirts and ....sandals! Not just any old sandals for me however, oh no, nothing cradles my feet and loves them as much as my trusted Birkies. I have size 5.5 WIDE feet and have struggled with straps that rub, toe posts causing blisters and toes crushed from squeezing my plates of meat into ...  Read the complete review

My first pair of Birkenstock sandals and they're never off my feet! For years I've been told by shoe salespersons that I have broad feet. Until one astute saleswoman said, "You don't have broad feet - you have flat feet!" I have fallen arches. I bought some padded inserts for my regular shoes, but still hobbled around in my ...  Read the complete review

Last week, I received my pair of Birkenstock Vegan Arizona sandals through the post from the Birkenstock website. I must say, I have had them on my feet rather a lot of the time since their arrival. Avoiding Leather -------------------- The thing is, most Birkenstock sandals are made of leather and leather is the skin ...  Read the complete review

I've just bought my first ever pair of Birkenstocks. I went for the Gizeh in mocha brown. They cost me £39.95. I've seen people wearing these before and always thought that they weren't for me. But on a recent shopping trip I saw some, and tried them on for a joke, and I loved them!!!! Since I bought them, I haven't taken ...  Read the complete review

I cannot rave to you enough about these shoes, so if you are not a fan I would suggest not reading this for fear of annoying you further...because I love them. I brought my first pair about 3 years ago now, I went for bronze/gold in a size 7, Madrid style...perfect. To start with I wasn't convinced though. It claims that "Each ...  Read the complete review

In an antique world, we would each have a personal stylist, who every morning, would help us breeze through the most important decision of the day - what to wear and which shoes will match. In the real world however, we usually have exactly 2 minutes between our quick shower and rush to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and to decide on which shoes ...  Read the complete review

I own only 1 pair of Birkenstock. I bought the Tabora under the Papillo label. Papillo generally provides more patterns and more colours. It is the more fun version of the Birkenstock which is the original version. The good thing about Birkenstocks is that they are just useful for almost every occasion. I wore it to school everyday for about 2 ...  Read the complete review

My Birkenstocks are my favourite sandals! i have two pairs - the two strap version and the one strap version and love them both. They ar enot the cheapest of sandals - both pairs cost around £30 each, however the wear I have got out of them, and there's plenty more left, will far outweigh the initial cost. The straps are ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I have a pair of counterfeit Birkenstocks. Yes, I am a traitor, but to be honest these are far more comfortable than the original Madeira Birkenstocks that I had to give away as I couldn't wear them. I bought them on ebay after deciding that I was a size 5 (turns out I wasn't and this was my mistake) - they arrived brand new, and ...  Read the complete review

This morning I slipped into something pink and really comfortable. These warm summer days were just perfect for it (until it started raining). If you fancy doing the same, let me tell you all about my latest rave. Last summer I was moaning about the blisters on my feet from wearing sling back sandals. Since having kids I’ve always felt ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
