Is the 'cork part' waterproof. I know the sandals or slippers are not particularly waterproof, little splashes are okay but no more than that. What about these sneakers? Is the exposed cork completely waterproof, I want a Birkenstock shoe for Dutch fall / winter wich sees a lot of rain
Idk if you’re still interested in Birkenstocks for wet weather, but if so, I suggest you try the Profi Birki. It is a completely water safe. Even the insole is polyurethane instead of cork. They still mould to your feet and are very supportive.
Great video. I am new to Birkenstocks and have a pair of indoor Arizonas and outdoor Arizonas in different colours. As Autumn and Winter are coming, im looking to buy closed Birks. I was wondering about the ones which have the cork on the outside like the trainers you're showing us, will they have issues in the rain as the Arizonas mustn'tget wet? Thank you xx
I’ve bought 3 pairs of Birkenstocks since I first watched your footbed video several weeks ago, and LOVE them all. They have saved my feet! Usually I wear Dansko clogs at work (medical field, on my feet and running all night). I would like to get a pair of Birkenstocks for work. They have a “professional” version of the Boston….or do I want these?
I think the Boston you can slip on and off and the professional bottoms may have some slip resistance, not sure, usually medical shoes are upgraded for those sticky icky situations.
In my experience, yes. They kind of nudge your feet into the healthiest position. Most inserts support the inner arch but not the outer arch or in the middle very much. Birkenstock supports all these arches which takes pressure off the plantar fascia. Takes some time to break your feet into them though
Hi. I got these after seeing your review. How do you clean them? I tried cleaning the PU part with a damp microfibre cloth and a tiny part of the PU started coming off in a thread. What should I buy to clean them? What do you use?
Thanks for making this review, I need some tennis shoes and every single pair that i try on hurts my feet so bad. The only shoe I can wear is my Birkenstock clogs and Arizona sandals, so when o saw they had a sneaker I was so excited! I just ordered them today, fingers crossed ❤
I got the same size. They are wider because the sizing is unisex not Women’s sizing. I really absolutely love them but they fit bigger because you may want to wear socks or not and also they accommodate men’s feet as well. I would go with the same size as your Arizona initially and take it from there. They also just came out with some really beautiful fall suede colors.
I purchased this Bend in June 2021 and wore it infrequently. In June 2024 the left shoe sole where you can see the kork was suddenly hollow and brittle. I never experienced anything like it with Bstocks. B told me the warranty expired and I would have to pay for the repair. To me it is obviously a hidden flaw of the shoe and how can I ever justify spending 150 or 200 for another Birkenstock with the risk of such a low lifespan.
I don’t know anything about a deleted comment. I sometimes don’t even see comments until UA-cam verifies them. They have a weird way of doing things that I can’t explain. I almost always leave everything so everyone can chime in on all opinions on products. If this happened to you on my channel, I apologize. I’ll have to look into what UA-cam did. Thank you for letting me know 🙂

Would you recommend them for people with very wide toe box and high arches?

Im a nurse, been using the professional Boston for 2.5 years. (Same pair) LOVE them!
I think this are good shoes. Thanks Heidi! Can you please make an update?
Are they good for plantar fasciitis?
In my experience, yes. They kind of nudge your feet into the healthiest position. Most inserts support the inner arch but not the outer arch or in the middle very much. Birkenstock supports all these arches which takes pressure off the plantar fascia. Takes some time to break your feet into them though

What’s the verdict?
How's the size compared to the classic birkenstock sandals? Is it the same? Or tighter? Should I get the same size as my Arizonas or go a size over?

@@heidishouse5861 Got it. Thanks for the reply!
Where is your dress from? So cute!
Thank You! I found this dress brand new tags still attached at “GoodWill”
It was a thrift find. The dress was made by H&M the tag indicates.
Do you feel like this would be a good Disneyland shoe?
Wonderful review. I am thinking about getting these to wear in the winter/rain. Do you still love them? Thanks for making this video.
I have them on today. I really do love them. I wear them like I would a Birkenstock but they look like a streamlined sneaker.

Some of the colorways go on sale for about $80 but yeah you have a point.

I saw the comment before it disappeared. Basically anyone buying from UK online needs to see T Pilot re BStock awful awful customer service.
Thanks! I wonder why UA-cam took it down or how they even have the right to do that 😡 thank you for reposting it 🥰
