Customer Reviews Birkenstock Honolulu EVA (Unisex)

painful at toes when walk, slippery under sole

I wear size 39 in Birkenstock period. Ordered these, they were so uncomfortable. Then I read reviews and sized down to a 38, they fit perfectly. Very comfortable, but these are similar to others with similar features for much less. Don't know if I would recommend based on value, seems priced too high for what it is, and the competition.

At first I thought that I would really feel comfortable wearing these flip flops, but after a few minutes the toe divider was extremely uncomfortable.

I have the Gizeh EVA sandals and was looking to replace them with another pair, but couldn't find them in my size, so I tried this pair of Birkenstocks. I wear a size 11, but these felt large and clumsy on my foot when I tried them on. They were kind of cute, but once I wore them around the house for a while, I realized it was like walking around with a piece of plywood strapped to my feet. There is no cushioning. At all. I'm a big gal and I need a soft sole for comfort. These are not that, so I returned them with no problem at all (thanks Zappos)!

I love the look of these, and feel the arch support and footbed would be comfortable. But I had two problems with this sandal. First, the thong between my toes felt big and uncomfortable. For reference, I usually wear Olukai flip flops and have never had problems with the thong between my toes with Olukai. Second, the sizing seems to run a touch large to me. I’m usually 7 in running shoes, 7 in Olukai. I tried these in 7, and they were too long, probably be half a size. Also, the thong/strap is way TOO BIG for my feet. Granted, my feet are skinny (not narrow, but bony), but I could fit my entire hand under the thong strap with my foot inside the sandle. I’ve never had this degree of problem before, even with my bony feet. I couldn’t even walk in these because the thong was so loose on top of my foot. I don’t know why show makers don’t make two sandal trap sizes available to accomodate the diversity of people’s bodies. Sadly will be returning these.

LOVE Birkenstock -these are flimsy and not very supportive ! Will wear when I’m around water but not to just wear !!!

I wanted to love these as they were everything I needed in a flip-flop: style and comfort. They fit nicely, but I felt like I was about to walk out of them just trying them on at home. I'm not sure I could've gone on long walks with these as I felt my toes trying to grip the shoe too much just to keep it on.

The fit was a bit too big. I’ve worn many styles of Birkenstock sandals for many years. I have always bought a size 38. The sizing on these shoes said 39 fits 8-8 1/2 . Size 8 is what I am. I should have ordered 38. The price of these sandals was disappointing after receiving them. They are very lightweight. They are made of plastic. There is no cork whatsoever. These plastic Birkenstock’s are not worth the price. I’m keeping them to wear as a summer slipper around the house. I will not order these again. Knock- off’s are better !

If you like hard flip flops that hurt, then this is a great shoe. I wear a size 12 and the length was perfect. The toe post is very uncomfortable. I wish these would have had flexibility.

What has happened to shoes..?? Birkenstock used to be an amazing company. I have worn a few of them over the years. This sandal is short and more narrow than the sandals I have had in exact same size. And like others have said, there is something very wrong with the toe post. Either too stiff or not quite in the right place. Painful to walk in.

Returned to the sender. Not fit well.

The shoe is made of very “hard plastic.” It is not cushy/soft/flexible. I have a dozen pair of Birkenstock shoes and this is the first pair I have had to return.

Size was accurate. The comfort was horrible. I bought them to were on tile floors. They are as hard as the floor.

These shoes are rock hard and inflexible.

it fit weird, especially where the toe support area. Not as comfortable as Olukai flip flops

Such a disappointment& I love Birks, but can’t even wear these. The plastic piece in-between toes is so hard, inflexible & larger than most… left blisters, cuts & bruises. So painful & I tried to wear a handful of times thinking maybe I’d break them in… sorry, this is a total fail for me.

Nice shoes but the fit was not good for me. I regret it but I had to return them

I was so excited about these but their my are such a weird fit and so uncomfortable. Took me one second to decide they were going to be returned.

I love the look of these Birkenstocks! The gray color is just what I wanted. I tried them on as soon as I received them and loved the way my foot rested on the platform of the shoe. The arch and toe support under the foot felt great, and the width was perfect! Then I started walking. The toe thong (between the toes) hurt right off the bat. Because of the material, I knew this wasn’t going to be something that would break in. So my choice was to only wear them while driving? or send them back. Sadly, they must go. They are very cute otherwise.

How disappointing! I love my regular Birkenstock, This flip is seriously lacking flop! The material is too hard and the shoe has zero flexibility.

The thong between your toes is very uncomfortable and walking results in raw skin. I love Birkenstock so go with slide. I will not wear these again

These flip flops pressed into the toe next to by big toe. The size was right but the placement of the toe strap was off for my feet.

Very cheap shoes and returned them.

Instantly hot or my feet. They didn’t fit as a cork Birkenstock would.
