I love these, very comfortable

I allow myself one new pair of Birks a year and took a chance on these and they feel amazing on your feet. I normally don’t like the leather footbed due to noise/slippage, but the straps keep your feet in place. I had to ask myself if I I’m a puffy strap sandal wearer, but they look great. The sandal is also a comfortable weight, but not heavy like you are wearing bricks on your feet. Well made, bought same size as my other Birks. The width is narrow though, so if you normally wear regular width, they may not fit.

uncomfortable

These are the most uncomfortable sandals I have ever tried on. They are heavy, the sculpted footbed has zero movement and felt awful. More often than not shoes made from synthetic materials are uncomfortable with no give…. these are the poster child for that. I like this brand, but super disappointed in these.

soft leather but hurt to walk in

The leather is butter soft and the sandal is very light. However the way they strapped onto my foot pressed down in such a way that it would hurt my feet. Grateful for Nordstroms awesome return policy!

Arch supportive sandal

I can’t tell you how much I love this sandal. I wear the sandal in my home because it supports my arch so good. Comfortable over some sneakers I own. I love the futuristic puffer style look of this Birkenstock.

Narrow

I really wanted to like this sandal. It didn’t fit my right foot. The upper buckle rubbed on my big toe. I do have a pair of papilla ankle boots that fit me perfectly.

Birkenstock Chunky Sandals

Very sturdy and comfortable shoes. All platform Birkenstock's I have ever owned, do not bend, thus making them poor shoes for driving a car. These platform Birkenstock's are an exception. Good ankle support for walking on uneven pavement. Breathable material; no sweaty feet. Very pleased with purchase!
