  • Your true intention of casual comfort is complete with the Birki's® Classic Skipper.
  • Distressed canvas upper with dual goring to allow for easy on-and-off wear.
  • Anatomically correct cork/latex footbed, crafted from cork that is 100% renewable and sustainable, encourages foot health.

  • Raised toe bar is designed to encourage the natural gripping motion of your feet, exercising your legs and aiding circulation.

  • You will enjoy your Birki's for years because they can be repaired, resoled or even completely renewed.

The bomb! Wore them for an all day shopping trip right out of the box and didn't have any problems. They also are cuter than they appear on the screen and go with anything. Highly recommend!

So uncomfortable! And I love my Birkenstock Arizonas and closed toe Bostons. But these just drive my feet nuts! Maybe it's the harder canvas fabric rubbing me, but they don't feel like classic Birks. Plus the canvas unravels a lot - makes them look look worn and beachy, but might annoy some. They do look fantastic on, really hype and stylish, but most days they start to annoy my feet after less than an hour. I commend Birkenstock for trying newer and younger styling, but this was a big waste of money for me!

These took the place of my tennis shoes for my exercise walks. They made my feet feel secure and comfortable from the moment I put then. The canvas were more comfortable then the suede or model with the tie.

I absolutely love these shoes! I have always been a Birkenstocks lover but was bummed to be limited to sandals or clogs. These have the classic Birkenstocks comfort and are stylish. I plan to wear them even in the winter with socks. I get lots of compliments on them and people cannot believe they are Birkenstocks. One thing I will add is that they are loose fitting shoes that do not hug your feet. However, I do not have any trouble keeping them on and I think the roominess adds to their comfort.

Well, great, and not so great. Too big, all around, but now, after adding inserts, I've worn them too long to send them back. I wear an 8, and ordered a 38 which are still too big. But...really comfortable, great support for a whole day of walking/standing/working. And, so nice and light. The best non-leather, cute, slip-on with support I think there is.

I love these shoes. I did have to doctor them up on the inside with moleskin, but I have sensitive skin. I wore them several days at a convention and they were great. Goes with jeans or shorts.
