TF STARMen’s Cow Suede Leather Slide Sandals,2-Strap Adjustable Buckle,Casual Slippers, Slide Cork Footbed shoes

I've put two days on these, and the fit and wear is great.This is how I use them: I bike to work, which can leave your feet damp or wet, depending. About 8 years ago I realized that keeping a couple of pairs of Birkenstock's in my desk drawer and wearing them around the plant kept my feet dry and breathable, plus I could kick them off under my desk when I wanted. So, I went to wearing Birks at the office full time. The office portion of my workplace is about the size of a football field and two floors, so I do a reasonable bit of walking.The reason I chose these is that my select style of Birks is now $135 on REI. You can get them closer to $100, but that's still too much for what you're buying. I've been repairing my Birks for years. Birks are not indestructible. The heels wear and the cork cracks. I band saw off the heel of the sole and replace it with Birk-like sole material. I maintain the cork with sealer and re-glue with Barge cement. In short, I'm pretty familiar with the construction and wear-ability of cork based sandals.My initial assessment of the TF Star version of a "cork sandal" is that they're extremely similar to the Birkenstock's. The upper is man-made, but so is one pair of my Birkenstock's. The flexibility, out of the box, is similar to new Birkenstock's. My Birkenstock's are a 41M and the TF Star are 8's (USA). While that matches on the size chart, the 8's are a tad shorter (say 3/16 of an inch) than the 41 at the big toe and the same at the small toe. I don't know if this is a difference between manufacturers or difference in the actual measurement of the 41 vs. 8(usa).The feel of the TF Star was great. I've worn these around the plant for two work days so far, and I'm loving them. I have a reasonably high arch and I thought the foot support was great. I don't want to say they feel better than the Birk's just out of the box.... but maybe.... I haven't had new Birk's in a few years.Longevity: Obviously, with just 2 days on them, I can't tell yet. Between my pairs at work, these will probably get 2 days a week as I phase out the pair these were meant to replace (3 strap Birks with man-made upper that's just about torn through). If these disappoint me for some reason, I'll definitely be back to this review to comment.

Only had them for a few days but went on a mile walk this morning in them and very comfortable. No issues at all. Great price as well. I normally wear a 10.5 and at times an 11 but I’m very glad I went with a 10. They fit perfectly. Only thing left to see is longevity and if I get close to a year of moderate use out of them then I will absolutely buy again.

This is my second pair. They're comfortable, strong, and good value for your money. My new pair will be for casual. The older one I wear to the mine for work. That way I don't have to drive in work boots

Nice sandals and an accurate representation of the Birk, which I have owned in the past.

I buy a number of the same type of item to compare shop on Amazon and when it came to finding a Birkenstock like sandal for the house, I was really disappointed with the quality, before finding these.These are clean, well made and attractive. They fit well (as you would expect) and appear to be made from quality materials.The upper outer is suede and it looks like it. There is fabric underneath but it's well done, comfortable and makes the entire upper portion similar in weight and visually like a real Birk.The footbed is again leather, quite soft and sits cleanly on the cork base.Highly recommended! Well done maker!

I have had these for a bit over a year, and the rubber sole started detaching from the "cork" which is just a cork facade around a waffle rubber foot bed.I guess I will make my own cork sandals. I have in the past, using cork, recycled tire for the sole and leather top and buckle.Sandals are way easier than shoes to make, so if you are looking for cork, look at a different brand, or make your own.

It looks the same but doesn't feel the same as the B brand. That said, it doesn't feel bad. It's softer and more lumpy, not sure if lumpy is the right word. I can get about 4 of these for the same price.If this does not last a year I'll lower the review. I do not wear these to the pool, beach, it too wash my car. I assume the water would ruin them.

These sandals are pretty darned nice. And for the price, they're actually great. I don't want to get ahead of myself here so I'm going to wear them for a month or two and come back with a revised, comprehensive review. So far they're keeping up with my annoyingly demanding nature.Update: I've worn them every day, all day for a week and I really like them. They're wearing in nicely.Too bad the manufacturer put their little sticker right onto the suede footbed. The adhesive isn't going to come off, and it looks cruddy especially since the rest of the sandal looks so nice. Just put the sticker on the sole?? C'mon.Update: It's been a month and I'm still very pleased. Bumped up to 4 stars.Update: Seven months and still great. Not a daily shoe, but very much worth the money. Would buy again, no question.

More solid than a similarly priced pair from a different brand.

I've been purchasing Birkenstocks and SoftMocs (cork-soled shoes) for half a decade now, and the ones made by TF Star are so far (a week in) just as good as their much-more-expensive counterparts.Unfortunately, the company applies this ugly sticker to the top of the soles; when you remove it, it leaves an awful sticky mess that traps hair and other house detritus, making one blotch on the shoe look dark and dirty. This sticker means either leaving it there, which makes it slightly slippery and ugly on its own, or removing it and getting a sticky mess.I'm also not thrilled about the grip. SoftMocs also had bad gripping, but I find these are slightly worse.For the price, I still highly recommend them, and I plan to tell everyone I know about these new cheap fakes. So in the end, IMO, they're worth it despite the flaws. If TF Star simply avoided using these stickers, I'd give them 5 stars.

Great fitting sandals

A comfortable pair of sandals. Copy of Birkenstock and built similarly but at a much much lower cost.

Exacly what I was looking for, the adjustment make them perfect
