Why is this a good deal? 💰

With these snazzy slip-ons, you're getting great comfort at a great value, and a ton of choice — 26 colors in women's sizes 5-13 (including wide widths). They're marked down to $30 (from $50), a 40% discount that makes them multitudes cheaper than similarly styled Birkenstocks that will set you back upwards of $107.

Why do I need this? 🤔

There's so much to love about these Cushionaires. The sandals feature 100% genuine suede insoles, which contour your foot once broken in. The cork footbed is supremely flexible, and the EVA outsole has plenty of traction to keep you from slipping and skidding.

What reviewers say 💬

Thousands of Amazon shoppers can't stop gushing about these inexpensive slides — with many of them making favorable comparisons to one very particular higher-priced brand.

Pros 👍

"I am so impressed with these shoes! They have the same comfort, look and feel as Birkenstocks [sandals] but for a fraction of the price," noted one reviewer. "The footbed is super comfortable, providing great support for all-day wear, and the design is stylish yet simple. For the value, these are unbeatable."

Another convert agreed: "I own a pair of original Birkenstock sandals and these are far more comfortable than those. I am so happy with the quality and feel of these sandals that I am ordering a second pair now!"

"These sandals are perfect. Super comfortable, even comparable to my Birks [sandals], at one-fourth of the cost," raved a final fan. "Seem to be very sturdy and break in quickly ... I wear them all the time, everywhere, and I can walk all day in them with no discomfort or issues."

Cons 👎

Many reviewers agreed that these sandals run small. "My only gripe was, seeing that the sizing was small for most, I did go up a half size and ordered a 9.5. I think I could've done with my normal sandal size of a 9, though. I am in between sizes though (sometimes wear an 8.5) so just be aware if you have that problem. Overall they fit good despite being a bit roomy," shared one.

Another added, "While they are comfortable and softer than real Birks, I would say they run a bit smaller and more narrow. I’m a solid 11.5 and ordered a 12 as some others have noted the sizing. They JUST fit. I would recommend sizing up if you're a half size."

There are 26 styles to choose from, including classic black (shown) and gold, leopard and pink vegan suede.
