If you have been searching for a pair of iconic two-strap buckle sandals, you may already know that the brand-name option can cost over $150. With rising gas prices, that might not be ideal. Fortunately, early Memorial Day deals have arrived, including beloved, supportive, unisex sandals that reviewers claim are even more comfortable than real Birkenstocks. The best part? You can grab a variety of colors and sizes on sale, with the classic browns starting at just under $18.
Exceptional Value and Comfort
Longtime fans of Birkenstocks say these affordable sandals not only look identical to the name brand but also feel just as supportive, if not better. The Odoly two-strap sandals feature a vegan leather upper and natural cork insole, available in women's sizes 6-14 and men's sizes 3.5-12.5. These unisex slides are reminiscent of the Birkenstock Arizona style, and reviewers report they feel great on the feet.
One reviewer wrote, "The arch support and comfort are far better than my expensive sandals!" Another added, "They are lightweight and support arches. As good as Birkenstocks and more affordable." Shopper Jaycee noted, "They are actually more comfortable for a fraction of the cost," joking about regretting spending so much on the originals.
Superior Support and Design
Many reviewers highlight the superior support of the insoles, especially in the heel. One review stated, "I prefer the fit and comfort of these dupes to the originals, because I was never comfortable with the lowered heel of the Birkenstocks." Another added, "The small cork heel gives me just enough lift without it being a flat shoe." The sandals feature a natural cork insole and an anti-slip outsole that require little to no break-in time, making them perfect for summer travel.
Shopper Becca, who wore the sandals in Las Vegas and Disney World, said they were "comfier than my regular Adidas sneakers." Another reviewer noted, "After only a few wears, they are already molding to my feet and are even more comfortable." The two adjustable straps are made from a soft vegan material that reviewers say feels luxurious.
Customer Reviews Speak Volumes
Summer is approaching, and your feet and wallet will thank you for grabbing a pair of these sandals for under $20. Here are some five-star reviews:

- Jaycee: "They look nearly identical to my Birkenstocks. But they are actually more comfortable for a fraction of the cost."
- Becca: "These sandals were amazing! I wore them on the Vegas Strip with no foot pain. Later at Disney World, they were comfier than my Adidas sneakers."
