Ive had a couple different pairs of Birks wasn't sure about these plastic Birks but I love them! I can walk all day in them and my feet don't hurt like my other Birks but I don't have to worry about getting them wet or cleaning them up if they get messy! Some people complained about their feet feeling sweaty but I haven't noticed anything like that and I have sweaty feet and its been a hot summer. Overall Im very happy with them!
