Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Some things are best when kept simple and left alone. These Birkenstock sandals feature the same materials the original makers used over two hundred years ago: cork, leather, a buckle or two. Like their predecessors, these Zurichs have a cork foot-bed that enables body weight to be distributed evenly over the whole foot, providing it with optimal support. Two buckles fasten over a leather vamp, and a rubber out-sole cushions the bottom. How -- and where -- you wear these sandals is up to you. The folks who wear them with socks vs. those who consider hosiery a sacrilege is a debate we won't get into.

I was looking for a non athletic version of a slide type sandal to slip on as I went about my household chores inside and out and this fit the bill nicely. I have had different types of Birkenstocks over the years, and have very good luck with the brand -- I also have a pair of Birkestock shoes and am on my feet all day as a school teacher. If you are not familiar with them, you need to understand that there is a break in period while the footbed gets used to your foot and like any shoe make or style, they are not for everyone. Previously, I had Arizona style sandals which were two strapped affairs with a heel strap as well. I wasn't sure how this slip on would work as my feet are somewhat narrow. But I am more than pleased. They fit on the foot well and keep you cool while still providing more support (and looks, in my opinion) than flip flops. I tend to get cold in places like movie theaters and grocery stores, but these provided enough coverage to avoid that while still keeping me cool in 90 degree heat. They also do not require feats (no pun intended) of toe gripping strength or anything to work. Amazon also had the brown leather style which was what I wanted as well.

These sandals are leather, though, so if you are looking for shoes to wear in wet conditions,like on your kayak, these aren't it (that's not what I wanted - Teyvas are good for that). I was a Birkenstock convert for many years, so my only caveat would be to know whether the brannd works for you or not. Or, definitely give them a try if you haven't before. They are well made, and I expect this pair to last years as my others have.

As a rule Birkenstock makes great shoes. They take a little getting used to, but once you try them, I think you'll like them.
I have a narrow, low-arch foot, so I need the adjustability the two straps give you with the Zurich style.
These shoes are extremely comfortable, and the light blue color is pretty.
