3.0 out of 5 starsBeware of counterfeits
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017
Be very careful when purchasing Birkenstocks from here, many sellers have fakes! I purchased two identical pairs to try because I'm between sizes--the Habana Oiled Leather in 39 and 40. The 39s from the seller "Bayou Birkenstock" had the quality I was hoping for, with soft supple leather and a comfortable footbed. They also came in a real Birkenstocks shoebox. However, the 40s from the seller "Sole Provisions" came in a plastic bag had thin, stiff leather that looked and felt fake, and even made a squeaky sound when I walked. Bear in mind these were supposed to be the exact same shoes! I returned the 40s and in the future I'll buy from Birkenstock directly. I recommend that anyone buying them from Amazon does it through Prime so you have the option to return a counterfeit pair.
