Customer Reviews Birkenstock Super Birki by Birkenstock (Unisex)

These would be a great shoe for me if the cork insole wasn't so hard. I wanted these shoes for around the house on hardwood and slate floors but I really don't feel like breaking these shoes in at the expense of my body. They would be perfect if the insole was softer and more cushioned. Not fond of the weird smell either.

Got these for work thinking it may be a good replacement for my Merrell's mule shoes. I was wrong. I hated them. Yes they were stiff as one person reviewed, but there was no way I was going to continue wearing them because the arch of the insole was so prominent that it actually hurt my feet. If a high arch is what you're looking for then give them a try, but beware it may be too much

I have had the Super-Birki for six months and I cannot wear them anymore for work. I stand on my feet all day long. After reading all the reviews, I thought I would stick it out through the break-in period (because they are hard on the bottom). However, as the days go on, I am getting numb toes, and the shoes press on the bump on top of your feet. I have another coworker who bought at the same time as I did, and she is not wearing them anymore for the same problem. I will use them for working in the yard. They are nice for durability and clean up.

Like standing on stone - Cork innersole is so hard it increased my back pain. Tried cushioning innersole helped a little, not enough negative heel.

Not the typical Birkenstock comfort - Wow, these are so different from my Birk sandals and clogs; I would swear they are made by a different company. They feel really short. I ordered my usual Birkenstock size, and my toes hit the front of the clog (which they don't with my Botsons). The arch support is barely there compared to other Birk styles. I've worn them enough to expect the arch insert to start to conform to my feet, but they aren't. I don't hate them, but I am not thrilled with them either--and I *never* thought I'd say that about a Birkenstock shoe, as I have 12 other pairs!

not for me - I found this shoe not to be want I would want in a Birki, it moves too much with ambulation. And as a nurse, that is not something that I need, because I am constantly moving. I need heel support, so if you do not need that you will love this shoe.

too small, too tight, inflexible

Very stiff and uncomfortable. There is a ridge from the insert that hurts the toes

too wide

Definitely not worth 80.00 for shoes that are man made . I would have kept if they were leather. .

I was so excited to get these shoes. Unfortunately they are way too wide which made them clunky. Felt like I was wearing smurf shoes. If they sold them in narrow, I'd repurchase.

These shoes were way too wide and did not provide as much arch supoort as other Birkenstocks.

Ordered size 40, however size 41 mistakenly arrived. Much too big, swimming around in the show, really need smaller size.

Fits too big. If you order, order a size smaller.

I could not keep these on my feet because they were so large and wide. I normally wear a 9-91/2 and that's the size I ordered.

Do NOT buy these shoes if you are expecting the comfort of a traditional Birkenstock. I walk 10,000+ steps at work during 12 hour shifts and with these shoes & the ball of my foot aches, I can feel every bone. I purchased these thinking they would be like my Linz Birkenstocks which have the traditional cork foot-bed and served me well without any foot pain for 4 years! The polyurethane shell of this shoe does not conform to your foot like a traditional Birkenstock and the provided liner is not as thick as a traditional corkbed. I am sure these shoes are superior to most brands but if you are expecting traditional Birkenstock support you might be disappointed

There are very heavy compared to my other clogs.

These shoes were way too big and very stiff.

These were HUGE! Could not be worn in a hospital environment that requires your heel to be covered.

Got these to try to replace some 'danish clogs', because the kitchen was wearing the leather out too fast. Had to buy new clogs after about a year.. So I read a ton of reviews, and decided on these because they seemed more supportive than the crocs. These shoes suck. They are terrible in every way a shoe can be bad. They look bad. The sides dig in to your ankle, making blisters. The shoes caused a heel bruise that never completely went away. The soles are slippery in the kitchen. Don't waste your time. Don't listen to whatever 'everyone else' is saying-- And take care of this in the future. 'Virtual Assistants' (indian hourly workers) will make real accounts and post tons of good reviews, and it's cheaper than you would believe. tl;dr DONT GET THESE SHOES.. BE CAREFUL OF TOO MANY POSITIVE REVIEWS.

Returning these, my groomed toenails even with socks kept snagging on a seam lip on the inside.

I was pretty excited about getting a pair of shoes I could slide into when going out to walk the dogs etc. I have fallen arches and wear Birkenstock sandals during the summer....but the Birki was terrible. It is humungous. Your foot slides forward and smashes the toes but is so wide that you need to wear thick socks and that is worse on the toes. I am pretty bummed because you would need the widest feet to wear these comfortably. Back they go. Thanks Zappos for your awesome return policy.

I really want to like these clogs. They are sturdy and durable. I love the cork footbed because of the arch support. Walking is the difficulty. I fell the first time that I walked down stairs. It is hard to keep them on and you have to change the way you walk to adapt, which cannot be good. I am a chef who stands around all day so I am going to keep them because I stand in the same place often. If they had support in the back of the foot, I would rate them five stars. It is a shame that you have to spend much more to get a strap or backing, in the other models. I may end up sticking with my silly Crocs though.

Shoe ripped on top after two months of light use, not worn daily.
