The Amazon ad doesn't tell you that these are "Birkies" (plastic uppers) and not like regular Birkenstocks.

The shoes actually cost $40 by the time they added taxes and shipping. I ordered a size 45 (US 12). When I tried on the shoes they clearly were mislabled. The shoes were at least two sizes too small. I called Champs about a return and they only defended their size chart. They would not address the missized shoes. They said they would refund my money minus $6 for shipping. After a number of phone calls and emails, I finally got a full refund from Amazon.

REC product in very fast time they where correct and fit perfect. I was sure something would be wrong not Birks but Imataion or something but there was none WILL shop again and don't worry I'm sure yours will be fine too! Thank You WrMetzger

The price was reasonable. An added attraction was free shipping. And the delivery was prompt. The product was just as described.

I needed to sand down the front lip, as it got in the way of my toes, but I probably could have bought one size larger instead.

Like many, I had long associated the Birkenstock brand with comfortable, healthy footwear (and granola and patchouli and...). When my current pair of Bohn sandals finally fell apart, I happened across this pair of Birki's at a reasonable price and decided to see what all the fuss was about. Yes, they were lightweight and comfortable, and the cork did breathe really well. For short stretches around the house, they were very comfortable. I discovered on a recent 4 day trip to the Outer Banks, however, that when I wore them for several hours a day or several days in a row, my feet became so sore that I resorted to walking around barefoot unless I absolutely had to have shoes on to enter a business or walk on the asphalt. My heel in particular suffered from the minimal give of the cork footbed. I am beginning to think a pair of Crocs may be more my speed.

I've been wearing Birkenstocks for a long time but my husband had never tried them. He can't wear sandals without a back strap so I ordered these for him. He has severe rheumatoid arthritis so he can't wear some types of shoes. He loves these!!!!!! He's worn them most of the time since he got them, even wearing them most of the day the first time he put them on.
