‘Why spend £60 on Birkenstock’s?’ questioned one shopper. ‘These are so comfy and smart. Really pleased with them. I usually take a six but the five was just right. Highly recommend.’
Another agreed, adding: ‘These are really comfortable and I can wear them happily all day long. They are well made and will last a long time. The colour is exactly as shown in the photos, and the straps are nice and soft, so don’t rub at all.’
A third penned: ‘Very attractive looking. The footbed is softer (and less irritating) than some similar types. Doesn’t need breaking in. Has a very quiet step. Very attractive colour. Generous width and length. Great for wider feet’.
