a lovely supportive durable shoe for Work or Casual wear
this purchase was for an alternate work shoe for the Summer months. the color appears consistent with image, a dusty pink. the support has been sufficient so far, though not quite as strong as orthotic shoes. I purchased a similar shoe for casual wear that is a bit more slim, but this shoe has been looking nice with all of my dressy/casual work apparel so am happy with my purchase. they feel nice on feet even on first day of wearing. I wear a size 10 and ordered the 42 (I would normally get a 40 or 41) and this 42 fits nicely.

Great Knock-Off
Honestly, these are my favorite shoes. I love birks but they are so expensive. These look basically identical and most people think they are real unless they look at the sole of the shoe. They are super comfy, easy to break in, and last for a long time even with frequent wear and tear. To keep them looking nice, I do recommend a protectant to prevent water or scuff marks.

I doubt(ed) it is real suede but now think it probably is.
Update: I decided to keep this item after initially intending to return it, and I somewhat regret my initial harsh review (so I also added back one star). I have since purchased other Birk imitations, including from this brand, and this one is actually pretty good. What I noticed is that some imitators use real suede but it is very thin suede so it needs a backing. The lining of the footbed is also real suede. And the rubbery coating inside the toe box is present in real Birk too (but those are much thicker suede and do not need a synthetic lining, nor do they tend to show the shape of the rubbery coating, which on this pair does end up showing through after prolonged use). So, I take back the accusation that it is fake suede, which was the primary reason I wanted to return them. But I decided to keep them because they are very comfortable, especially with socks, and the price was low and seemed fair. Very easy to slip on-and-off. However, a serious disappointment is that you really should not wear this for longer walks outside. The soles are very thin and soft. This is not (quite as) true for other Birk imitators I have had, including from this brand. It is great for getting the mail, or going over to a neighbor's house, or into the garage and basement, etc. These were my very first pair of Birk imitators, so I just did not know what to expect, which is why my review was harsh. But the footbed does impressively feel like the real thing, at least the firm version of Birk footbed (they now make a more cushioned option too). Other Birk imitators, including other models from this brand, were much softer, and I like the firmness and authentic feel of the footbed in this particular model.Initial review right after purchase:It does sorta look like the model it tries to copy but it is not the same. The inside is lined with a polyester material which makes me be extremely doubtful it is real suede on the outside (either it is fake or else the lining is needed because the suede is super thin -- either way, it is 100% for sure not *mostly* suede). The polyester lining is both glued on and sewn on, so there is no way to inspect the underside of the "suede." Also, in the toe box region the inside has a stiff rubbery lining so it does not feel nice to wear this without socks. This is so that the toe box will keep its shape. But with socks it is quite comfortable and feels a lot like a "real" pair of Birk sandals I have. My feet like this kind of support and these types of sandals always feel stiff, especially at first. I can't afford the real deal so I was tempted to keep them, and almost did (I almost never return anything, especially if honestly and accurately presented), but it really bothers me that it is fake suede, or at best, mostly not suede. Described alternately as "suede leather" and "cow hide suede" BUT also as "100% suede look". The "look" part may be the only honest part. If that does not bother you, then they are okay, especially if they go on sale. The footbed might be covered in real suede. Also, it seems there is variation in quality and sizing. Mine were true to size, same as my other size 39 shoes (sometimes I even wear 38 and still these in 39 were not too big, really just right), and the left/right matched perfectly; no "extra glue" or dents or scuffs and whatnot, but this was not the case for some people according to reviews I read. So, perhaps quality and sizing has improved. Also, they no longer ship from China (at least when I got them) and the return process was typical Amazon return, not directly to the seller but to Amazon. So if you like the style and don't care about real suede so long as it pretty much looks like suede, and you plan to wear them mostly with socks, then it is probably worth the risk to get them.

Excellent gift
These were a gift for my daughter, and the sizing was perfect! She let me try them on, and they were so comfortable that I’m thinking about ordering a pair for myself! They seem sturdy, and we love the color! Despite them being lighter in color, they don’t seem as though they’ll be an issue to clean.

Cute potato style shoe
Love these as an alternative to the more expensive brand of clog. I did spray them with scotchguard to help with the waterproof aspect. I’ve work these many times and they show a bit of creasing but nothing that’s stands out. They’re very easy to slip on and go! I wear them with socks in the colder months. No issues with blisters but they are a tad heavy. True to size

Obsessed!
These are super cute! And they look like the real thing too! I've had these for 2 years now and they've held up perfect, and they're wayyy cheaper than real birks! They are not waterproof unfortunately (learned that the hard way lol) but I did buy a suede waterproof spray that works very well and kept these from getting stained! Super comfortable too, I wear them alllll the time! Highly reccomend!

Cute but makes your feet sweat…
I’ve had these shoes for about a year now and they are so cute and have gotten so many compliments. But… they make your feet sweat SO MUCH! Seriously! I’m not prone to sweaty feet but wearing these would make you think that I am. It doesn’t matter if you wear them with socks or not, you will sweat. The comfort level is okay. My teacher feet wouldn’t approve wearing them twice in a row. I’ll still use these shoes sparingly but I won’t go out of my way to recommend them.

cute!!
look so similar to the on-brand clogs everyone is buying. material is good and not cheap. color is that perfect taupe color. material isn’t super thick and they aren’t the warmest shoes but can be worn with thick socks to help! great for fall to throw on!
