They are way more expensive than standard sandals we could buy, but how did Birkenstocks convince us the pain was worth it?

I can't believe I ended up buying them, but I bought into the idea that this would eventually be the most comfortable shoe. The tradition has been around since 1774, they're sustainable and long-lasting and the supported foot arch is meant to be incredible good for your feet.
Here's my experience trying them out...

I wear the Birkenstock Gizeh in size 41 with bare feet. I have had them in black and now tobacco brown. Worn them for more than 10 years. They are great shoes to wear, and really amazing when they mold to the foot and fit like a glove. So nice to wear them all day! I wear them mostly in the summers months.
Do people wear them with socks too ? :O hahah another fan!
With socks… unbelievable, a ?! 🫢🫣🤢
I wear them about the last 40 years. Boston, Gizeh and Arizona. I just buy them over and over again. great product!
I have to agree - cost per wear is the best shoe I've ever had!
Thanks so much for this video and yes I just got my very first torture sandals this week that's why I'm here watching you! So far so good 😊 I'm really quite excited about this whole breaking in process and I hope all will turn out good 😁
Hahah glad to hear it, they definitely aren't as awful anymore! Let me know how you get on :)
Your feet will thank you. They are a must for travelling. Forget multiple pairs of nasty flip flops. These really will become a permanent fixture in your back pack ;)
I have 4 pair and I've loved buying them since the 90's.
Classic flip flops/slides are not are shoes.
We need "My Birkenstocks 7 months later" video
It’s coming! Please do subscribe and share 😃
Am I the only one who didn’t think they were hard to break in? Granted I wore mine mainly just for walks when i got my first pair. After a few days, I wore them pretty much every day lol. Every time I get a new pair, I can wear them pretty much all day. Unfortunately, the weather in the Midwest doesn’t allow me to wear them all year, otherwise I would lol. Truly the BEST sandals!
looks like you got lucky and they fit well form the beginning :)
@@eva.evangelou I was pleasantly surprised because my feet are so small, which makes it really difficult to find shoes. Still a pain in the a$$ to find my size in these lol. I’m a 35 😂
This video was VERY helpful! Thank you. ❤️
So glad 😀 did you get some in the end?
I got the Arizona in leather and literally wore them for a year. They never broke in, blisters the whole time. I finally sold them because I was just done trying. Then I saw the EVA Arizona ones. So now I’m trying them. So far they are amazing. Ugly, but feel so good on my feet.
Wow - they have the same name as me? haha maybe they're the ones I have to try! Seems like they were quite comfortable. What's the difference with the EVA ones?
I just got my first pair and love them. The break in process has been a beautiful struggle lol
IT really is! Are you comfortable with them now?
@@eva.evangelou Yes
@@AbsoluteMdot thank you!
Hi Eva you gave good information about how to properly fit the Birkenstock sandals!
Hey thanks so much! Are you new to them and how are you finding it?
@@eva.evangelou yes, I have tried some on but didn’t buy them so I’m still interested in getting some. I like the Gizeh and Arizona.
@@uggsinthesand Yeap, when you try them both you'lll know which you like more on yourself!
I have 5pairs of Birkenstock…. And I absolutely love ❤️ them. Once they worn in… they heaven 😁👍
What do you use 5 pairs for? 😂 are they labelled one for each weekday?
I have a pair of Birkenstock, but it hurts my feet and I only wore it 3-4 times. I still need to break it in, but I noticed it’s getting softer and softer over time.
I still think Crocs are the most comfortable shoes ever, they are so soft and comfortable to walk anywhere! I travel a lot and crocs never disappoint.
Birkenstock is better than crocs
Crocs are the ugliest shoe in the world...but so comfy!! I'm currently breaking in my new Birkenstocks, 2nd ugliest shoe in the world lol
Haha well definitely, I'm choosing comfort over style most days. But that's why it feels super good to pop out the nice sandles/heels!
Yes they are comfortable if you find the right style also sketchers are amazing too
A lot of the break in process depends on your feet. The arch supports don't bother me at all. It's the uppers that give me problems at first. So I always get real leather that will mold and soften up over time. I condition it, too. Birkenstock oiled leather is extremely stiff when it's new. My ideal comfort sandal would be a Birkenstock regular footbed with thick, soft buffalo uppers like my Mephistos, but alas, that doesn't exist.
Erm... hello @birkenstock team hahah - product development here!!
Amalia here. I'm obsessed with Birks. I have four pairs. (One being delivered.) I have your model (dark blue leather) and a really Jesus-y strap one. I'lI wear those less because I swear by Arizona suede. I have the acid green pair and waiting for the Blau to be delivered. I've worn Birks for years and the Arizona suede or leather are by far the most comfy. They also look really cool, especially in the new modern colours. The original hippy sandal, so darn cool.
Hey Amalia! 😂 I think once you start you never go back
Worth seeing and honest review of Birkenstock sandals! Yes, you have to bite your way through the break in phase at Birkenstock, only then will they become the most comfortable shoes in the world! You actually wonder when you slip into a brand new pair how people can find this comfortable. But they have sandals that have been worn in for months or years, which adapt to their own feet with each wear. It takes some time to get there. If you want to save yourself this phase, you can take the Soft Footbed Birkenstock, recognizable by the blue font color in the footbed, they are soft from the first time you wear them. But they last shorter in my experience. The original Birkenstock footbed is unmatched and very durable. I have Birkenstock older than 10 years. Maybe you will do another update review in a few weeks? Best regards 👣😎🤗
Hahah thanks - and it's exactly these reviews of the fact that people have used them for so long and swear by them that convinced me, but let's see:) They're definitely more comfortable now, though I don't know how they'll hold up on a long walk.
@@eva.evangelou Exactly, they are only a few miles ahead of you in Birkenstocks :) Well, for me it is like that if someone said you have to cover a huge distance, choose a pair of shoes, it would be an old pair of Birkis, there presses and does not rub anything. Recently seen a video of two girls who dragged Birkenstock with them on a long hike to switch to when their hiking boots hurt.
@tochnitm the only problem is that Birkenstock only offers the Gizeh (the style shown in this video) in one color: Faded Aqua. Which isn't my go-to color at all, since pale colors don't look good on my pale-white feet. I did try the soft footbeds in another style a couple years ago but was never really able to break them in, even after repeated wearings. :( Yet for some reason here I am again, considering getting a pair of the Gizehs (which I haven't tried) because my flat feet really need the support to alleviate the severe pronation -- and subsequent ankle and knee pain -- that results when I don't have supportive shoes.
@@tochnitm добрый день. Извините, что пишу по-русски. Купила себе пару этой прекрасной обуви с синей стелькой. Меня это потом немного расстроило. Думала подделка. Но в Германии в магазинах ведь не продают подделки ? )))
И синяя стелька это не совсем классическая стелька?
Заранее спасибо за ответ.
@tochnitm How do you care for your Birkenstock’s that can last you 10 years? Do you have to regularly moisturize with sealant all around the cork? I found that my soft bed ones from only last year that I’ve worn almost every day ( exchanging them with my 3 yrs. old Mayari style ( both of them are that style), the cork has opened by the big toe and heel ( older ones) and now the 1 yr. old ones, I discovered the left heel is cracked😱 I surely hope it wasn’t my fault when I’m trying to stretch my calves with them on and they flexed too much?😬😔
ive been thinking of getting a pair for a while as well and im also a bit worried by the breakin period! would be super helpful if you could do another video after you've worn them a few more times or a vlog video about them while you wear them for a long walk!
Hey good idea - definitely can:) I can say they're certainly more comfortable now.
@@eva.evangelou thanks!! would love to see a follow up vide when you have a chance!
I love wearing them!, yes break in is harsh, but they make it up with you!
Glad I found this! Yes, I was similarly snowed into believing that these sandals were going to be comfortable right out the gate, alas they prove to be torturous! My problem is the sturdy thong between the toes that might as well have been composed of razor blades and not plastic. I have been wearing them in the am to walk my dog for the past two weeks and don't foresee me wearing them on adventures anytime soon. I curse Birkenstock and wish I returned them!!
😅
Hi! Long-time Gizeh wearer here… and I might have a solution to your pain. The thing with Gizeh is that your feet need to fit snug on the footbed and your heel needs to stay in the heel cup AT ALL TIMES. If you’re feeling pain after the break in period (a few months of constant wear) the sandals are TOO LOOSE. To correct, unbuckle them, center your foot on them, then tighten the strap on the hole where they feel snug, but not too tight. Your foot should not be moving when you walk… if your foot is sliding forward, the toe part with cause pain! Once the strap is firmly holding your heel in the cup, you should be good… after the break in period!
@@nsq_0000 I want to thank you! I did exactly what you suggested this morning. My right foot, the one giving me the excruciating pain, needed the strap adjusted a little tighter. Voila! No agony with each step! Thanks so much for your advice!!💐
@@PinkyTuscadero666 Great to hear!
@Amy SAME EXACT PROBLEM. After about 30 minutes of walking, the thong is so excruciating, I can't walk on that foot! Footbed has never been the problem.
I just bought a pair of Birkenstocks and I thought the same thing. They were torture chambers. I am currently trying to Break them in and I hope they get better soon. I was looking for your final video on breaking them in but couldn’t find it. Did you give up? Did they ever get comfortable? I’d love to know. Thanks for your great video!
Thanks! I’ll be making a follow-up this week to answer all of the questions 😊 please do subscribe and share as it really supports keeping the channel going, and you’ll get notified when the new video is out!
Best 10 second dance break so far ! You should get into acting
Hahahah thanks Mariya! I enjoyed making this one a lot:P
I think you might feel more comfortable with the wider version, your feet seem to go over the sides which can also explain the bruises from the side, they have "narrow" and "normal" or "wide" I don't remember
feet too big!
@@eva.evangelou Try the 2 Strap Arizona and they are Comfortable
I love them they are pretty and comfortable I have 2 like these
Excellent! Are you getting a lot of wear out of them? Subscribe if you haven't yet as I have an update coming soon!
You should try the soft footbed Birkenstocks. Those are a lot easier to break in.
Good to know I'll definitely keep it in mind - though I don't know if I'll be buying more right now!
For me, it took a couple of weeks to notice that mine were breaking in. But I think it takes a solid month for them to get use to your foot. The longer you were them, months, the more comfortable they become. That's just what I've noticed with me and my collection of Birks. I forget that I have them on some days.
Definitely! How many have you bought so far and any favourite models?
@@eva.evangelou if I counted correctly, I have 7 pairs. Two Arizonas(the two strap ones), a rubber clog pair(still comes with the cork insert & are in the professional line), a boot which has the fuzzy lining, a wedge dress shoe, and two "regular" looking shoes. One laces up & the other is kinda like deck shoe.
But to answer your other question on which is my favorite. I don't think I can answer that since I genuinely like them all. I bought them all in the hopes of getting rid of mainstream shoes even though I still have some.
If you've never worn a pair, I would suggest going with the sandals first and NOT get them from Amazon or Ebay or somewhere like that.
@@katiebradley7780 I have the Gizeh ones but maybe this has opened up a whole new world 😏
@@eva.evangelou To maybe help convert you, you are able to get them resoled.
@@katiebradley7780 going on the website...
You did a great review including your sizing recommendations. You’ll love them soon enough. It takes about a week to two weeks to break them in.
They really do grow on you. Don’t go too far even after you’ve initially broken them in. Give it about a month before you spend a full day traveling in them.
Your foot needs to adjust to the different fit and movement.
definitely! I'm in colder weather so don't wear them all the time. So far, they're good for a few hours but an entire day walking in hot weather still means blisters...
You are so right! Just bought my first pair and I’m trying to break them in before my vacay in three weeks! I’m gonna be 50 and I can’t wait to see what people are talking about.
@@taramama6658 Three weeks might be cutting it short! Birkenstocks are meant to be broken in slowly and then, once comfortable, last for YEARS… sometimes it takes me a few months of solid wearing to break in a pair… just wanted you to be aware and not be disappointed! But once they are broken in (for me, about three months of daily wear) they become super comfortable since they mold to your feet. I feel like Birkenstock’s recommendation of a few weeks is a little conservative.
What happens when you wear different sandals throughout the summer though? I guess it’s hard to go to anything else once you’ve broken in!
Love my Birkenstocks
The fan club grows 😛
I have bought these sandals a year ago and they are very comfortable. But the post between toes is a killer. Very hard plastic and I simply can't get used to it. So my husband is trying to find a way to cover them to make them soft and comfortable.
Yeap, I've heard lots of people find anything between the toes very uncomfortable. Did you come up with any good ways around this or eventually get used to them?
They are very comfortable once they’re broken into 😂😂 you’re funny
Did you get your normal size in them? I heard you are supposed to go one size up. I managed to thrift a pair of arizonas in eu size 38 (i am a typical eu size 37 in everything else) and they are comfortable, but also feels like it would have been alright in my normal size
Hey, I did get my normal size - eu38, though they definitely didn't feel small at all, I think a size up would have felt too big. Perhaps it depends also on the style but definitely my normal size worked for Gizeh.
Some Birkenstock wearers go one size down rather than up, or buy their normal size. I am a UK 38 and wear the Gizehs and the Arizonas in a 37 and they are perfect for me. As long as your foot is not resting on the outer rim they should conform to your foot and be fine. Once they break in they are comfortable though.
@@jenmb. Ok do you have skinny feet im a 7.5 with slimm feet will 37 work for me?
I’m on my 3ed pair of Gizeh. I love them. Never had to ‘break them in’, but I have high arches. I’m also German and wearing Birkenstocks since I’m 5! 😂
You like Birkenstock too?
I have a high arch too. My feet actually felt supported.
They start you early in Germany! 😂
Hi, im in the same boat now, debating whether or not to return them , was searching for an updated video on your channel to see what your thoughts are about it now -- could you provide us with an update? :)
Subscribe if you haven't yet as I have an update coming soon! :)
Just bought my first pair today and yup they are quite uncomfortable like you described . So I gotta work on this breaking in thing. :/
You can do it!
Admitedly, I've never had an eye for fashion... BUT, I've never understood people who say birkenstock's are ugly.
Crocs I can understand. Yeezys I can DEFINITELY understand. But birkenstocks? They just look like regular sandals!
😂 I am glad you like them - good for your feet too, so you’ll get the best of both worlds!
Whether Birkenstocks are "fashionable" or attractive is truly in the eye of the beholder. I personally think 99% of women's sandals (especially high-heel ones) are god-awful ugly (FUGLY, tbh), but I think Birkenstock Gizehs are BEAUTIFUL. I love them for casual wear and if I needed to ever dress up (rare for me), I'd wear them to a wedding or any other "formal" occasion.
I'm recovering from plantar fasciitis caused by incorrect shoes 8 months ago, and I had the crazy idea to go back to Birkenstocks for the zero drop and support. This meant buying a NEW pair, since I stupidly gave away my previous ones. Now, for eight months I could not wear anything other than Crocs -- my foot was too sensitive. So buying a pair of these "torture instruments" made no sense. BUT...immediately my feet felt better. They still require some breaking in, but my feet have not been this happy in almost a year. I bought a pair of my beloved Gizehs as well as a pair of Bostons (wearing the Bostons as I write this), and I am just in seventh heaven.
I should mention that I have flexible low arches (almost flat feet) that pronate inward, and the Birks help stabilize that while also supporting my arch/instep, etc. like custom orthotics but in a less rigid way. (Fun fact: Rigid and semi-rigid orthotics do *not* work for those of us who have equinus.) I also have a bunion that doesn't take kindly to the strap across the ball of the foot styles, and to make things even more complicated, I have wide (2E) feet. Birkenstock Gizehs check all the right boxes for my weird female feet.
Birkenstocks may not be for everyone, but for me, they're currently my new best friends.
p.s. The break-in period is 1-2 weeks, though some people may need a month or more. If your Birks don't seem to be getting more comfortable, you may have the wrong size, which causes the raised areas of the footbed to hit in the wrong spots. (I had a "pedorthist" fit me in size 38EU, which was WAY too small -- he claimed, "I don't fit people according to Birkenstock's recommendations, I size down." Which is flat-out *wrong*! My toes were bumping painfully against the front of the shoe; when I exchanged them for my correct size 39, they fit perfectly.)
Mine never got comfortable. Bought it in 2005 with my first paycheck. Still, to this day it looks new because you are right they are torture devices. I've had the worst blisters from it.
Noo :O So sorry to hear that! No one size fits all I guess!
I just bought my first pair og Gizeh blk on blk. I'am 64. The reason is this. I was in Las Vegas and at airport while people (shoe) watching. I noticed at least 60% of women had on these Gizeh Brik's so I broke down and ordered a pair. I'am a big fan of Teva but they were killing my feet. So doing homework on break in time today is day one.
How have you got on so far? I’m doing a follow-up on these this month! Subscribe if you want to see it pop- up!
@@eva.evangelou the foot bed was smooth leather. My foot kept sliding. So I sent them back.
I don’t think mine will take that long to break in. I’ve put my foot in and it already fits like a glove. The arch support feels so good on my feet already.
So glad you find them comfy!
An update is coming soon after many requests!! What questions would you like answered??
Got mine yesterday and thats what I thought ugliest and the most uncomfortable shoe EVER!!!!
What other pair have you tried??
I like the Birkenstock Arizona 2 Strap
Yes also a nice option - prefer them for men!
Get the Soft Footbed first before getting the regular Footbed and the Regular Footbed is Comfortable and the Soft Footbed is Comfortable also
I bought my first pair , well two actually, one pair of Gizeh and Arizona
At first hey are freaking uncomfortable and resulted in blisters, but It's taken a couple of weeks to break them in and it was worth the pain (agony).
So sorry for the agony - and you really went all in getting two of them!
@@eva.evangelou I couldn't decide which ones to get so I bought two pairs.
I bought my wife the same pairs and she didn't have any issues with them from new !
funny most people in my family own about 4 pairs of different style and colored Birks, and alll love them, no complaints about blisters. i have 2 pairs, and several other sandals that i rotate since i live in a warm weather area all year round, and enjoy them all, but i have normal arcs and regular feet so maybe it helps that i dont have flat, or wide feet.
Are you saying my feet are flat and wide? hahaha :P
@@eva.evangelou haha not yours but i have heard others complain about their flat feet.
Can’t believe you didn’t do a
Update video how do they fit now
Fair fair - it’s coming this week! Please subscribe so you’re notified 😃
On dates, just like girls have the rule that a guy cant be shorter than them, my rule is that the girl must weigh less than me. I only break this rule if she wears birkenstocks. But they must be the gizeh.
Lol, something for everyone :)
I’ve had mine for a few years and they’re STILL uncomfortable if I wear them for too long. They’re definitely the right size. The soft bed style is way more comfortable but a lot of Birkenstock purists thumb their nose at the softbeds.
We welcome a bit of mixing 😂 sounds like they’re not the right fit for you, I have got used to them after a long while
Hi. Now it's more than 9 months, so can you put a video on how it feels now?
Yes coming this week! Please subscribe and share to be notified :)
@@eva.evangelou :done.
I hear if you wear them wet they will mold to your feet faster and if the arch is to high you can tap them with a hammer but not to hard to mold the arch faster.
Ha ha ha, yes I feel your pain, particularly getting used to the toe area! But hang on in there, it is worth breaking them in by wearing them for an hour or so each day as before you know it you will find yourself wanting to wear them all summer.
It’s like you’re psychic 😛
All of the fashion designers have rebranded these as “dad sandals” and they are the hottest summer shoes. 🤯
I don't know about hottest summer shoes. Though my dad would not be caught dead in them!
@@eva.evangelou Chanel dad shoes have been the most popular thing for like 3 years now. He should try them… Birkenstocks are very supportive for the foot.
@@yo-yo9663 I love that they are called that :P
Just bought my first Birkenstock today after I swore I would never buy these ugly expensive sandals. Torture to wear them and i was also told you will feel better in one week. lets see how it goes :)
Hey I should of watched this vid before the torture. haha. I got a tiny blister on the arch. My feet have a bit of an arch. I got similar Birks. I bought new ones off facebook marketplace for 40 bucks. What a steal.
After months of trying to break mine in, and the soles continued to feel like rocks under my feet, I use them as door stops.
Got TWO pairs of these in the same size (44 EU). One pair rather uncomfortable in the toe area. The other...perfect. Finicky sandals for sure...but if you have fallen arches and wide feet these might NOT be your sandals. Once they are broken in, you won't want to take them off.
Oh wow you’re a big fan! Same mode the Gizeh? Strange… Agreed they’re worth it, I’m doing a follow-up 18 months on for these - subscribe if you want to see it pop up! ☺️
I used to hate seeing females with flip flops or anything open toe when I was a young boy 😂😂. Now I actually like it seeing a lady wearing them anytime. Try Arizona, Madrid style. Even the Mayari look elegant. BTW nice dress and I'll definitely go on a date when a lady wear sandals
So, yeah. Big difference between soft foot bed and standard soles day 1. yes, the shoes have to use the sweat and oils of your skin to mold them. I am a boater. You aren't supposed to do this, but I walk in lake water a lot launching or landing a boat a lot. I mow grass and do chores in these Arazona's I have to wear steel toe boots at work. Ive got multiple pairs of difrent styles. But to get out of a work boot and slip on an old broken in pair of Stocks. Its like heaven on your feet. I live in in them. Jeans or shorts. The most worn out pair I have is the most comfortable. And it takes years of abuse to wear a pair out. Give em a chance.
The one you are demonstrating is one of the hardest to adapt to. Cause the thong between your toes is plastic and so hard to break in
I’ve got about 10 pairs of Birkenstocks and love them to bits. Yes certain models of Birkenstocks can take a bit of breaking in and the Gizeh ones your wearing is one of them. I introduced my partner last year to Birkenstocks and the Arizona ones she loves but then she brought the Madrid ones and there never off her feet now.
I have several pairs too. I have a pair of lace up boats that I gotta break in this fall. I can't wait but I've never broken in a pair of the boots so I'm kinda worried.
They really are keepers!
How long did the boots take to break in?
@@eva.evangelou my partner Stacey had the Birkenstock boots that I got her last Christmas. She had the Birkenstock Ebba boots and loves them. She said they broke in very very quickly. Hope this helps
I dont ynderstand why people say the ugliest shoes in the world😢 i think CROCS are the ugliest😊
I just got my first set, bout 4 days in and they are stiff as a board and the arches feel way too high. Hopefully they break in...
Fingers crossed for you! Coz they did end up very practical in the end - how are you getting on?
@@eva.evangelou the arch of the left foot still feels a bit too high, although the other sandal doesn’t give me trouble, I *think* it’s improving?
@@eva.evangelou It took a while, but they're doing quite well now. The arch pain is pretty much gone. Just wish I sized down a bit.
Hi! I bought a pair of these recently in 38 - it didn’t specify width - but then I saw it said narrow on the box. Are yours narrow fit or regular/unisex? Thanks!
hey, just the regular one!
@@eva.evangelou thank you! :)
I had a girlfriend who had 6 pairs when I was younger. I tried hers on and wasn’t sold, always though they were hideous. Now that I’m older and having foot pain, they don’t seem like such a bad idea
😂 well, you’ll never know until you give them a try… might be worth it but they’re not initially comfortable. I’m making a follow-up this week, make sure you’re subscribed to get notified!
@@eva.evangelou I bought a pair of Arizonas not long after my comment here. Softbed, tobacco oiled leather. Took about a week to break in, and then I was in love. So cute. I now have another pair of Arizonas, 3 Bostons (one fleece lined) and one Buckley, all original footbed….And I ain’t done!
Girl we need an update!
Coming this week! Please subscribe to be notified :) How did you get on with these?
are the comfortable now after one year?
yes! I've made a follow-up video to answer just this question - th-cam.com/video/VdjmVGAu0WA/w-d-xo.html
I've had the Mayaris in regular width for a couple of years and they took aaages to break in, like over 3 weeks, but they're comfortable now. Then last year I bought the Arizona in narrow and they took next to no time to break in. I think different widths can affect the break in period - perhaps the narrower ones are faster to soften because there's less room around the foot? Who knows lol.
I just bought the Maharishi and so glad I read your comment. They are torturous to walk in for any length of time. I’ll keep trying though because of your comment. And they’re cute.
And it's different for different people too as I've seen from all of these comments!
Have you broken them in by now?
I broke mine in wearing socks at first and now I wear without socks.
Makes sense

You must have very sensitive feet.
Perhaps you should have taken the soft footbed? I have both and find both comfortable. And can walk hours and hours 🤷♀️.

Mais quel baratin pour des claquettes basiques ,elles sont folles ces américaines, elles n ont jamais rien vu
I have no idea what you mean:P
If you have ANY sort of back or joint pain these are NOT for you. They are hard as a rock which just adds to joint pain. They do mold to your feet and that is nice but, they are way, way too hard in the footbed.
Really? I thought that would be good in the same way a harder mattress is better..
@@eva.evangelou These support your posture very well but, they are hard on the joints. If you have arthritis or other joint/spine injury these are not good, they have no cushioning. It's akin to standing on a hard floor all day. Bad joints need something that absorbs impact. So these aren't it. However, if you do not have issues with your joints then these are great for your posture.
I recommend Mephisto if you have spine or joint issues. SAME cork footbed, same designs but, added padding for cushioning.
I like Birkenstocks and they are Comfortable and I like to Wear them Without Socks ro take My Socks off and To Air my Feet Out and Birkenstocks are Better Without Socks
Also Sandals are meant to Air Your Feet Out and take your Socks off
Please don’t wear them with socks 😂

Hey thanks for the support!
I’d say they are a half size too small for your feet.
What makes you say that? They've ended up comfy and I wear them all the time over 2 years on
@@eva.evangelou That’s good. It just looked as though they were a half size too small for your feet.
They’re not really comfort sandals. If you want comfort sandals get the uglier Crocs or the ugliest of all Yeezy. Oofos are also comfortable. overtime, Birkenstocks get comfortable, but definitely not fit for 10,000 steps walking. You have to be realistic, they aren’t rubber shoes or trainers. Likewise, they aren’t dancing shoes either. They are meant for normal walking activities and not for special purposes. If they still hurt after sometime then the size is the problem. Any footwear will hurt in the long run if the size isn’t right for you.
Absolutely, though a few months on I’d definitely call them comfort sanders. I need to check out these Yeezys 😂
Step 1. if You think there ugly dont buy them in shinny silver !!!
😂 what’s step 2? Or what’s a good colour to buy ugly shoes in??
@@eva.evangelou Leather sandals, buy them in leather ! your hardly going to but a cow skin bumper on your Morris minor or are you 🤪😂 I had five perhaps six pairs in 20 years and running two of those pairs atm and they have done some traveling and the things they have seen.... oh my lord.
Got 4 pairs, and FYI theyre not the ugliest in the world excuse me! Crocs are the ugliest!!
Fair point 😛 I don't think I consider those a possibility 😂
I LOVE YOUR FEET!!!!!
Haha thank you I can make lots more Birkenstock videos lol
Please do subscribe and share to support the channel as it really helps, and I have an update coming this week!
I disagree, the ugliest shoe in the world goes to Crocs.
У меня плоскостопия. И именно в этой паре мне нравятся мои ноги.
Это красивая обувь.
Yeezy: hello I’m here, I’m the ugliest of the ugliest footwears of all time.
Fair I can see that 😂 I guess I don’t even have those in the category of shoes I would consider buying…
😂 so I looked these up coz so many people mentioned them - no way anyone is doing 10k steps in those??
Your Boyfriend Justin Bieber won't have a crush on you for wearing ugly birkenstocks!!!!!
Ugly shoes that aren't functional. Crocs are better any day...
My first observation is "WHERE ARE YOUR PERSONAL BROKEN IN SANDALS"? Why demonstrate a brand new pair and the box taking time to talk about "The other types of sandals for sale that are advertised on the box (Sounds a bit SALESY and MARKETING) rather than a consumer. At the very least you sould have demonstrated YOUR ALREADY BROKEN IN SANDALS.
Hey there, fair feedback! I've made a follow-up showing them a year in as I thought this would be more illustrative if this helps - th-cam.com/video/VdjmVGAu0WA/w-d-xo.html . I can absolutely say that I am not selling/affilliated in any way with Birkentock (but hey here's hoping they hit me up :P) - I would have to say if I was, it's a legal requirement.
