5.0 out of 5 stars Great for all occasions, March 22, 2006

These sandals have got to be the best I have every worn. They go with any outfit. They look great with khaki, jean, or shorts. They can be worn during hiking trips without the fear of the soles being punctured by brush.

It's rare to see, but the Betula spinoff of Birkenstock comes and goes every couple years or so. The pair Im replacing are Betulas and I bought them 3yrs ago. As it turns out, you can have Birkenstock sandals repaired over time as long as the cork isnt too badly damaged. All one has to do is take them to a liscensed dealer and 25.00 later, you have a repaired pair of sandals.

Other brands can come up with knockoffs, but nothing matches a true anatomically correct Birkenstock.

I suggest going to a store that sells Birkenstocks and seeing what size your largest foot is before buying online so as to avoid the hassle of having to mail back the sandals and trying to get the correct size. Once you have all the necessary info, you are set to buy them to your feet's content. You wont regret buying these sandals. The comfort is unmatched. It doesnt matter if you are using them around the house or taking them on a tour of a big city. They wont let your feet become weary.

4.0 out of 5 stars worth what you pay for, October 18, 2007

These Betulas are my replacement pair for Birkenstocks. Upon wearing them, I do notice a slight difference (very slight). The cork footbed is just a bit harder, taking probably more time to mould to your feet. The rest is very very similar. Your feet will feel pampered the minute you wear your new Birkenstock Betulas.

For what you pay, nearly half the price of a Birkenstock (actual) and the only difference being the harder cork footbed, this item is an absolute steal. I do recommend before buying Birkenstock or Betulas that you go to a store that sells these type of shoes and get your size checked. I am a size 12 generally, but size 12 in these sandals is kinda big for me, so I had to go with 11s.The only important thing to make sure before purchase is finding out your exact size.

I went to a Birkenstock store (avg price $110 canadian) ,checked my size, came home and ordered these (at the time of purchase price $51.00 canadian)

4.0 out of 5 stars Sandals from Birkenstock, November 10, 2006

Although the sandal is approved by Birkenstock, the upper material is not as sturdy as the original birkenstock. The other parts of the sandal look and feel like the original. I was a little surprised recently when my therapist asked me to stop wearing them, and recommended a tennis shoe as a replacement. I have a minor foot problem, and feel fine with the sandal, which I have worm for at least three years. She said they were not sturdy.
