Blog 4 - Why Birkenstock Sandals?

No other part of the body gets more strain throughout one’s life than the foot, and finding a shoe that supports the feet can be a challenge. However, this changed when I got my first pair of Birkenstocks.

One may wonder what makes the Birkenstock so special. Birkenstock sandals have many features that make them unique from other shoes. Birkenstocks are orthopedically designed and constructed to offer comfort that exceeds that of their competition. As they use natural cork for the base, these sandals accommodate the shape of one’s feet and create a custom fit. Furthermore, the soft footbed gives an extra layer of cushioning to provide additional support. Not only is the base comfortable, but it is incredibly easy to clean.

Birkenstocks are also stylish. They come in a variety of colours that are appropriate for both casual and formal occasions, and are very versatile.

While Birkenstocks have many advantages, they come with some cons. Sandals are rather expensive, starting at $99.99. Also, only certain stores carry this type Birkenstocks. This means that it can be hard to get a pair that one likes, and the size to fit. Even ordering the sandal online can be difficult, as it is a trying on the shoe is the only way that one can be sure that they have the appropriate fit. Another issue is the potential for water damage, as the cork that the sandal is made of can absorb water and crack, with no way to fix it. This is a factor to consider before investing so much money in a product.

In conclusion, I love the Birkenstocks for multiple reasons. They are so comfortable that I can walk in them all day long with no complaints. I can put them on with casual shorts and skirts, or wear them to work. The price, sizing process, and sensitivity to water may be cause for concern for the average buyer. Yet, I do not find that these factors take away from the high quality of Birkenstocks. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a comfortable shoe with support. You won’t regret it!
