BirkenstockProfessional Unisex Profi Birki Slip

I am a chef and work long hours on my feet. I love my Birkenstocks. I have been wearing them for more than 30 years. I would quit my job for these shoes.

I want these in every color! This style of Birkenstock does seem to fit a bit larger than my other pairs. Love them,Super comfortable.

Everyone here seems to love their Birkenstock Professional work clogs, I however have had a surprisingly uncomfortable experience. I had to order the shoes a total of 4 times to find out they just don't have a size that fits me. The first size was too huge, and the size below it did as well, and so did the size after that. There was a good inch of toe space. I understand there is supposed to be a little looseness with clogs because that's what I usually wear for work, but it was quite a bit too big on the 3rd pair of shoes I got (the first of the 4 pairs was said to be my size on their sizing chart (I measured my foot in mm with a shoe gauging tool) So I order the next size under because that's the only option left and, to my expectations, the pair is too small. I tried breaking them in so far for a few weeks (8+ hours a day) and I still have a lot of pain from the shoe pushing my toenails back, as well as scabbing on each outer side of my feet from all of the rubbing. It does seem to have broken in a little and gotten smaller but still too small and quite painful. (keep in mind the size above this size leaves almost an inch and a half of space behind my heel when I push my toes to the end) My next day off I will be returning the shoes via Amazon UPS returns or at Khol's because I could use that $100 I spent. Keep in mind also, this is coming from someone who's had Birkenstock sandals and like the brand. If you do expect a size to fit you and want to try, I started at size 45 which I thought was the same size as the size 12 I wear in Nike. I was dead wrong so I then used a foot size gauge to be sure of my length in mm, but still ended up trying 3 more shoes.

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I don't own any type of similar shoe. So take what I say with that in mind. I bought these for a job I just got working in a commercial kitchen. I needed something slip resistant, water resistant, and comfortable enough for a 12 hour shift on my feet and these were frequently recommended in reviews by people who work in kitchens.Slip/water resistance - I haven't started my job yet but my own kitchen floor can get pretty messy between spilled water from the pet bowls and random grease splatter on the floor. I can attest that these shoes do not slip on my porcelain tile when it is both wet and oily. And I tried to slip in them. I also wear these in my yard when watering my plants and I do not slip when walking on my wood floors either when my shoes are wet. The shoes are rubber.Comfort - I have yet to wear these for more than a few hours around the house but they feel very comfortable. I have no desire to kick these off when I'm just lounging around. I can't even say that about my bedroom slippers. I will come back and update this once I start my job and spend 8+ hours on my feet while wearing them.Fit - Now this was the tricky part for me and I posted several pics to explain. I wear a women's 5 1/2. I'd say the width is on the wide side of normal. I don't wear wide sizes but shoes typically feel a little tight on my feet until they are broken in and some never feel good. A 6 will always be too big and I can wear a 5 if the cut is right and I don't plan on wearing socks. I got these in a 36 which is what the size guide recommends. Let me say that these shoes are HUGE on my feet but I think they fit exactly how they are supposed to fit. The footbed fits my foot perfectly. It's the shoe itself that feels voluminous. I have been wearing these around the house without socks and they always feel like they are going to fall off my feet, but they haven't. If I kick my foot, the shoe will fly off. But when I wear a medium weight sock, the shoe feels completely different. It still feels big on my foot but I can kick my foot and the shoe slides on my foot a little but doesn't feel like it's going to come off at all. When walking, my heel slides out of the back but I think that's what it's supposed to do. I could be wrong because again, this is the first pair of Birkenstocks that I've worn, but it doesn't feel wrong on my foot and doesn't affect my gait. I can't run in them, but I can certainly walk at a brisk pace without taking extra precaution to not walk out of my shoes.I would definitely recommend them. I only gave 4 stars because I'm waiting to see how the comfort pans out.

Great arch support. My go-to work shoe that becomes my every-day go-to shoe. 😆

I was unaware they were plastic so that was disheartening. Overall the shoes are comfortable and run on the big side. They are waterproof of course just didn’t expect to pay over $100 for plastic shoes.

I am a professional chef. These are the only shoes I will wear in a kitchen! I am on my feet 14 hours a day, 7 days a week and my feet never hurt. I have been wearing Birkenstock clogs for 12 years, and this is only my 3rd pair in that span. My first pair lasted me 7 years before the soles ran out, my second pair lasted 5 years before the top started to split. The non slip works amazing! I have spilled hot grease on my foot, and these shoes protect your feet! In my opinion, you can't get a better shoe for the price

They are uncomfortable until they get molded into your foot, it takes about a month, once they are molded I feel better with these shoes than barefoot, very comfortable with long working hours.
