I bought a pair last year but the strap between the toes broke off. However, these were so comfortable and I wore them almost on a daily basis, from camping to dinner out that I just had to buy a second pair. They were abused and worn so much that I forgive the strap breaking and love my new pair just as much.

I purchased these clogs for my daughter for Christmas, having purchased other types of Betulas in the past and having been very happy. The material these are made out of is just not great. The clogs arrived lookig like someone had already worn the suede off around the edges. It just isn’t good material if you want your shoes to stay looking nice for very long. I would recommend the leather Betulas… those can stay looking nice and you can at least polish them. Skip the suede!
This company has wonderful customer service, and I would purchase from them again. Nice return policy!

I bought these sandals because I was looking for something reasonably nice-looking, yet comfortable enough to walk long distances. It was a good choice on both counts. They are sturdy and provide a good amount of support. While I would not wear them to a formal event, I believe these sandals do not look shabby in any way. As with all Birkenstock brand sandals, be advised to not wear them for long distances at first. Give them a chance to become broken in by wearing them for short trips, so they can form to your feet without causing blisters.

I ordered these shoes originally last year sometime. It was love at first wear so i was heart broken when my dog (well, puppy) decided to munch on and destroy one of the pair. After the Holidays I ordered myself another pair and was miserable the month I went without them.

Make sure you get yourself teh right size so the shoes hugs your foot in its loving and oh so comfortable grip. If you have sweaty feet like I do wear them with socks for awhile. Doing thus helps keep your feet warm even on very cold days (by very cold I’m talking teens with lower wind chills) as well as helping to keep the shoe cleaner. I like to wait until spring to de-sock then wear them around and let my feet contour the inside of the shoe. When you do this the inside will slowly conform perfectly to your foot. So much so in fact that a friend tried to borrow my last pair to run out to her car only to find that they were incredibly uncomfortable to her. Meanwhile the same shoe was like a slipper or glove to me.

Be patient with these shoes and you will most definitely be rewarded with comfort and a long lasting shoe. I’ve had Berk’s last 10 years and you won’t find a better deal then on Amazon.

I usually buy Birkenstocks. I buy the wider size, but these only seem to come in the regular width. When I received them, they seemed smaller than expected–my feet barely fit into them.

Could have been the narrower size, could have been the fact that they were new, but even now after a two month wear-in, they seem shorter than my Birks by a few millimeters, and of course, narrower. I am used to these now, and they look great, and the quality seems very good.

Birkenstocks tend to last me 2-3 years of daily wear, so we shall see if these last that long. I am betting they do not, but even if they get halfway, they would still be a value, since they still look new and they cost so little.

I plan to by Birks next time, but if your feet are not wide like mine, maybe these are a good value for you–certainly they are no disappointment.

These sandals looked the way i thought, but are way too wide for a typical female’s foot. I ordered a woman’s sandal but received what seemed to be a man’s sandal. I had to use the last hole and if they stretch any, will be too wide for me to keep on my foot.

I have never owned a pair of birkenstocks until now. These shoes were a little umcomfortable at first, but then after wearing them for awhile they started to form to my feet. Now they are the best pair of sandals that I own. They are durable and flexible at the same time. I can wear them with most anything and they have good support for long walking for my feet. i would recommend these sandals to anyone. They have a nice style and they form to the foot type of your feet after wearing them in a little.

These sandals arrived promply. They fit and feel great. The soles formed to my feet in a couple of days. They are an inexpensive way to buy Birkenstock-like products and are of the same quality. Don’t be fooled by any bad reviews.

I recently purchased the Betula Grace sandals. I love Birkenstock sandals and these were right up my alley. The fit is great. They are comfortable as regular Birkies. (I really don’t know the difference The soles are the same). Most of all the price!! Wow, unbeatable! I purchased two pair of Betulas. I originally purchased the Plum Krystle sandals, they were out of the plum colors. I got a personal phone call to tell me that they were out of my color choice and I was given other colors to choose from. What service too!!

The nice thing with Birkenstock brand is that sizes are incredibly consistent across the various divisions (Birkenstock, Birkis, Papillio, Betula, etc.); so when your favorite relative laments that they can’t find "tan" suede 2-strap birkenstocks to replace their old ones in their neck of the woods, it’s a sure bet you’ll get the size, quality, and color you ask for when you order them sight unseen. There are lots of imitations out there, but only Birkenstock products hold up the way you need them to. A bit more to pay for the guarantee of durability and craftsmanship that will make these sandals last SOOOO much longer than the "knock-offs", but well worth the comfort and peace of mind.
