I've owned similar Birkenstocks before, and I ordered this only because I needed new ones. My old Birkenstocks lasted me a good three years, and I would still wear them, but unfortunately, I lost one of the shoes.

For me, I had no trouble breaking into these ultra comfortable shoes. I do advise, however, that although these shoes are comfortable, they aren't good for extremely long walks because the arc can tire your feet out faster than usual.

I love how I can wear just about anything with these sandals, and I also love how it's not shaped like some cheap flip-flop. They don't look waterproof, but they handle water just fine, and they can last way longer than Rainbows if you take care of them.

Overall, I strongly recommend trying these shoes!

I have many pairs of Birkenstocks... I rarely wear any other shoes. The Madrid style has the same incredibly adaptive and support foot bed with the style of the original Dr. Scholl sandals (much more comfortable). Because there is only one strap across the front, they behave more like a flip flop than other styles I own. If you're used to that, you'll have no problem with them. As always, the foot bed breaks in quickly. (TIP: put them on after a hot shower while you feet are steamy warm, they'll just mold around your foot). The silver is a nice muted metallic which allows you to dress them up or down. This particular style might not be the best for long walks (given the single strap) but they are still super comfortable.

After many years of passing up Birkenstocks for more feminine sandals, I relented and decided I wanted a pair of quality shoes for summer. My first thought? Birkenstocks. When viewing a Birkenstock shoe you can easily see the quality and know that they will last for many seasons to come. That said, quality may not always mean comfortable right out of the box (lol). My feet are flat and Birkenstocks appear to be made for those with higher arches. I am literally trying to wear them as often as I can to "break them in" hoping that they will get more comfortable as they get worn. They actually hurt my feet so much when I first put them on that I waited a month before trying them again. I have had other pretty decent quality shoes throughout my life and very few of them hurt after wearing them for a few minutes.

Hopefully in a month or so the foot-bed will mold to the shape of my feet. If not, no more Birkenstocks for me... sadly.

I love my new Birkenstock sandals!!! I've never owned a pair until now. I have foot pain and was told I needed arch support. These sandals offer just that. Takes a little breaking in at first but then they form to your own foot. They look great too. The uppers are water resistant and wipe clean easily.

These are super comfy and look great too. The silver is a nice touch.

LOVE THESE but they are rough on the inside and wore a sore onto my foot for the first two weeks I wore them. By then they are too worn to return. I like the look of them though.

These are my first Birkenstocks I own, I have bought the "knock-off" brand before and been halfway successful....my judgement: I'd rather spend $10 on fakes, than $40+++ on these real ones. They are NOT as comfortable as I had heard, nor are they any nicer than the fakes. Big waste of money. The only thing I liked was the silver color they came in...

I received these shoes very quickly and was really pleased with this product...only one word of warning when ordering any Birkenstocks make sure you order the correct width as most of the ranges come in a wide width and slim width. I have a very narrow foot and these arrived as a slim fit and fit perfectly. Would purchase from this vendor again pain free and no hassle...Thank You

Great product! In exellent condition.True to size. I have a regular size, not to wide, so i always take the narrow, and it works great!
Very fast shipping.
This sandals are very comfortable and pretty.
Like them so much!!

I FINALLY bought some Birkenstocks. I wish I had years ago. I wasn't sure about it because I have wide feet and am in between a size 9 1/2 and a 10. So I ordered size 40 (9-91/2) and regular width and they are PERFECT!!! I love how they have only one strap. I would recommend them to everyone!!!!
