Birki''s Skorpios Soft Footbed Sandal

I LOVE these sandals.I have owned other Birkenstocks but these are BY FAR my favorite.The normal corkbed soles were, I thought, great EXCEPT for the fact that I did have a bone bruise from the darn things that took 6 months to heal(okay, I wore them everyday for months before getting the bruise).That put me off Birkies for several years until I bought another pair as I needed decent sandals.That pair recently fell apart and left me without.Still thinking of the bone bruise, I sought out soft bed birkenstocks and now wear these daily, even though it is now November.They are FINE even with socks...

Seriously, these are incredibly comfortable, so much so that I can barely wear the old cork bed pair that I wore for years.The soft bed makes SUCH a difference and these are more comfortable than good quality tennis shoes, easy spirits, ANY shoe.I have problems with high arches and arch fatique not now!!Instead of limping at the end of the day from being on my feet all day, I have not limped once since getting these incredible shoes with great arch support. I will always keep a pair of softbed birkenstocks in my closet from now on!I don''t care how ugly they are!!

As a first time buyer of this brand of sandal, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the footbed molded around my feet. These sandals have been worn around the house in winter time, and in Asia, on the streets of Illinois and everywhere I go. They have become my sandals of choice. I love them better than any other shoes or sandals I own. They work well with socks on or barefoot.

To date the finish remains intact and the shoe seems durable enough to warrant buying them again. I like these better than the birkentock''s because the heel is a little wider. For my feet this is crucial. The only drawback I''ve found on this sandal is the strap closest to my ankle sometimes digs a bit. A slight adjustment and it''s solved though.

The color and fade resistance qualities are excellent. The undersole adheres well to the footbed. This is a great sandal and I will buy more of them!

For years I have been wearing Mephisto sandals. I started to develop sore heels where the tendons connect to the heel. This was primarily from my other sandals which had a strap on the back. I looked at many slip in sandals. This sandal molds to my feet. It doesn''t fall off and there is no pressure on the back of my foot. It is built well and reasonably priced for the quality.

These sandals were a gift for my son. The color is VERY grey, not taupe at all. He loves them and is not concerned over the color change.

I bought these for my husband since he has a foot pain issue and Birkenstocks were recommended to him. We did not necessarily want to spend $200 or so to try them out, so I thought this might be a nice alternative. He tried them and feels that they give him great support, soft comfort for his painful arch & heel and they are quick to put on at the door when he comes home from work.

The downside? They are not only ugly but look cheaply made. While that may not be the case (after all they still were not "cheap"!)they have the appearance of something bought at Wal-Mart or someplace similar. I have no problem at all with Wal-Mart, but they don''t charge over $60 for a pair of sandals.

Because my husband has no intention of wearing these outside the house, using them more like supportive slippers, he is not concerned about the appearance. On the other hand, I bought a pair of Tahiti style for myself and had to return them because they just looked terrible to me. I must say that his looked better, perhaps because of the dark brown suede-like material (definitely not the real thing!) looking better than the taupe color, which really looked cheesy.

So, comfortable they are, attractive they are not. I''m personally saving up for the real thing in leather for myself so that I don''t have to compromise on style...but then again my husband has his sandals now and I guess I won''t for a while considering the price of the best Birkenstocks!
