BirkenstockMen's Mules, 41 EU

Great quality and my daughter says the fit and comfort are perfect

I bought these water proof sandals to take to the islands with me and they were perfect for every occasion residing at a resort. They are slip resist proof. i wore them around a pool, in the ocean, on sand, and on cement. The sandals held up no problem. You can water hose them off, dry them then slip them right on to wear; perfect. I wore them on hot pavement and they held up fine looking new. These sandals are well worth the $ I spent for them. Now comparing them to a pair of Corkscrew Birkenstock, the bottom (base) feel is different. You can feel the arch support however not as firm as the corkscrew sandals. Also the bottom rubber of the sandal seems weak but it has upheld from walking hours on hot pavement. i wear 10 1/2 shoe (41) ; This sandal may be few centimeters short of the the the full fit of a corkscrew birkenstock. you can wear them in the shower or after showering. the sandals is very flexible in wear and texture. i give the rating 5 stars base on price and quality. The sandal isn't for rigorous walking like an athletic shoe.

I love Birks. The only bad part is breaking them in- and avoiding getting them wet. I wear my birks year round (if there's no snow, the birks are a-go) and water was the demise of my past two pairs of cork-and-leather birks.With EVA birks, I don't have to worry about any of that. My feet are EXTREMELY flat with a forward arch, breaking in standard birks or even soft footbed birks can actually be extremely painful. After 6 months of daily wear I'm not seeing any real deterioration of the sandal, and not feeling any less supported while I stand or walk.I just bought white Birkenstocks for my wedding, I had a choice to purchase the Soft footbed leather Arizona's or white EVA Arizona's (with stock and shipping issues making the price difference only about $20, so price wasn't a factor in this choice) and I chose the entirely EVA. I don't know if I'll ever go back to a traditional Birkenstock, I can't recommend them enough.Some folks say they smell, but I always wear socks with mine and I've never experienced that issue. Even with hiking/walking miles in these sandals.

I initially purchased these for something with arch support for my flat feet. I am happy to report that I get the support I need and they are lightweight. It was my experience that they do require some breaking in. I have a slight bunion and although I adjusted the straps it was still a little uncomfortable until I broke them in. Now that they are broken in I wear them with no problem. I wore them while vacationing in Myrtle Beach. I walked a lot and appreciated the comfort and the fact that they are water proof.

I bought these as a low-cost alternative to the traditional leather and cork Birkenstock sandals. I wanted to test my size and see whether I would wear them enough to justify spending a lot of money of a pair of sandals. They fit perfectly, so much so that my kids wanted to know how I got sandals that were shaped like my wide, funny feet! They are also exceptionally comfortable.There is some room for improvement, though. The dished footbed will hold water, sand, and dirt, making them less than ideal for outdoor wear, especially at the beach. The sandals will also squeak loudly when they're wet. But, they are super comfortable! I've worn them all summer on all sorts of surfaces and they still look fairly new. The straps have softened and molded to the shape of my arches. All in all, I'm really happy with these sandals, so much so that I'm not sure I need to upgrade to the traditional style for any reason other than looks!

I'm sure I am not the first to put this together, but these are almost like a perfect marriage of the 2 shoe companies who specialize in super- supreme comfort for feet, fashion be damned! (I think they look good, but whatever).I have always been reluctant to spend the $100 + to have authentic Birkenstocks, and remember enjoying some knockoff brand sandals in the 90's. Well, these here let you try out Birkenstock engineering and comfort for a small percentage of the price. I have since then purchased some Birkenstock clogs, but this is my first day with them, so I will review those later.These are very comfortable, and I think the black ones look enough like leather to fool most. But the comfort!!!! I went to the park with my wife and walked several miles over various terrain, and my feet felt great. Likewise, I have worn them to work on casual day, and they stand up to all day wear as well. I also took them to the pool with no worries!Bottom line, if you've ever wanted to try a pair of Birkenstocks, this is an inexpensive way to experience the brilliance that has kept this company in business for over 2 centuries. They are also super light weight, and don't seem to harbor foot odor. (Not that I have any of that, of course).

They are pretty comfortable but with flat feet, the arch is uncomfortable sometimes but probably good for my feet. Width wise I'm very surprised they fit so well to my wide feet. The foot/heel well of the shoe is really good too. This has to be much better for my feet than standard flip flops. Some of my bunion pain has gone away and I hope more of it does over time. I"m very happy with them..

Where should I start with these sandals? The soles are worn out at the heels and toe area. The straps were ripped and would likely tear off after a few uses. I ordered men’s size 8 which according to the Birkenstock size chart would be a size 41. These are a size 39 which is a women’s size 8. Men’s Birkenstocks don’t even come in size 39, they start at size 40. So these sandals are worn out, wrong size and wrong gender. They were sold by “A Great Deal.”
