Customer Reviews Birkenstock Professional Birki by Birkenstock

If you want an ugly shoe buy a Crock. If you want a plastic shoe buy a Crock. This has nothing like the feel of a Birkenstock which is stiff but these remind me of the Dutch wooden shoes. They also didn't support my heel lift which has to be put under the existing inside padding of any shoe. Perhaps it would support a full orthotic. My heel life fits only under the heel.

I'm sorry to say that these Birks were the MOST uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn! I am a huge fan of Birkenstocks and have had many pair since I started wearing them in the 70's. I am a chef and spoke to someone who'd gotten these and had to put a different insole in but then loved them. I got a new insole, and still they were extremely stiff and it was work to try to hold them on my feet, the original insole rubbed on my toes. I would recommend not buying them.

Ordered my usual size in Birkenstock 39 but they were huge on me. Exchanged for 38 and they were too tight. Also these don't have the under toe bump like Birkenstick sandals which I really need, so had to return.

I am so sad to give these this review because I have been a die hard Birkenstock fan forever. But these were just awful. They felt at lest a full size or more larger than any 39 I have ever tried in my life (even wearing two pairs of boot socks they were too big), and I do understand that this type of clog like shoe is supposed to be a little large. They are solid plastic and naturally do not breath so perspiration remains next to your skin and after a 12 hour day on my feet working it was very uncomfortable, which is so unlike Birkenstock as their other shoes are wonderful. I had bad blistering around the heel/ankle and my feet were very fatigued when the day was over. The one really nice thing about them is that the entire insole could be removed and if the plastic outer needed it could be easily washed off as it is totally waterproof.

Like walking on marble covered concrete. Worst shoes ever. The fit is also very strange. I usually wear a 7 but I had to keep sending these back and downsizing each time! I ended up with the 5/5.5 and they still felt weird.

Horrible shoe. I don't know how anyone can find them comfortable. They have no give or movement. So wide there is no way they would even stay on my feet.

These Birki's run really big. I ordered the size it said for what would be my normal shoe size. I felt they were still to sizes too big.
