Extremely Disappointed – Poor Quality and Even Worse Customer Service I recently purchased a pair of Birkenstock buckle sandals for myself after buying a pair for my daughter and being initially impressed. Unfortunately, after wearing mine for just a short walk down the block and back, they caused significant pain and tore up my feet. Given the brand’s reputation and the price point, I reached out to their customer service expecting some accountability or support. Instead, I was essentially told that this kind of discomfort is “to be expected” — which I find completely unacceptable for a product marketed as premium and orthopedic. Needless to say, I won’t be purchasing from Birkenstock again. I’m sharing my experience — photos and all — because customers deserve to know what they might be getting into.
