Reviewing Betula Footwear, Licensed by Birkenstocks

While on a search for some really comfortable shoes, one name kept being suggested to me. Birkenstock's.

I had, of course, seen Birkenstock's before. I never thought they were really cute and they looked heavy and huge to me. They also looked kind of on the 'crunchy granola' side. Not to mention the majority of the Birk's I had seen were clogs.

I thought I would research them some more and realized they were a little expensive. Especially for someone who does not like spending a fortune on shoes, much less sandals.

In my research I learned that the Birkenstock company invented the first contoured foot-bed made from cork and latex. The shape of the foot-bed allows your weight to be evenly distributed over the whole foot. This provides you with 'optimal' support. The cork and latex foot-bed gives you support and helps to minimize fatigue.

So far, this was sounding really interesting.

The sole is replaceable, light-weight, has shock resistance, is flexible and also durable.

They offer different collections. Not only clogs are available. They have some really attractive sandals to choose from as well.

For those with high arches, there is a selection to choose from.

Birkenstock also offers a line for those in a professional line of work.

Not only can you purchase some Birkenstock's for yourself, you can purchase them for the men and children in your life.

After all of this research, I realized these shoes sounded like they would be really comfortable and worth the money. I found that you could purchase them through a variety of sources.

Certain shoe stores carried them. I found some of Ebay. I also discovered that you could buy Birkenstock's on shopping channels on television. After seeing a couple of the shows on The Home Shopping Network (HSN) and on QVC, I decided to check out their websites.

I found that Birkenstock had a line named Betula, that was a little more affordable for me.

Most Birkenstock's are in European sizes, so you have to be careful when ordering them online or off of the television.

For those unsure of sizing, this is the chart to follow:
