There are many places to get discount Birkenstocks, but you may have to look around a bit in your area to find them. Even though Birkenstocks are some of the best shoes for the money, they can be a bit pricey, especially if you need to buy shoes for the whole family.

There are three easy ways to find Birkenstocks for less money. You can look at Birkenstock stores for sales on last year's models, find overstock or liquidation stores, or shop online and take advantage of the lower prices you can find there (often with rebates and sales that are only available online).
eBay is another place that might be a good place to look for deals on Birkenstocks. Many people sell Birkenstocks at online auctions, where the prices are often much lower than in stores, even for models from the current year. Since eBay sellers don't have to spend money setting up their own stores, they can sell Birkenstock sandals and other Birkenstock shoes at cheaper and discounted prices. Just make sure to use the eBay that is closest to you to save on shipping costs.
If you've never had a pair of Birkenstocks, you don't know what you're missing. You can wear them barefoot in the summer or put on a pair of thick socks and walk around all winter in your Birkenstock sandals. Well, that's what we do at least out here on the west coast.
If you live "Back East," Birkenstocks and woolly socks might be too much, but you can always wear clogs in the winter instead.
Birkenstock makes sandals that aren't like any others. They have a cork sole that is very strong, very light, and naturally resistant to water, so they work well in almost any situation. The nice thing about cork is that it slowly moulds to your feet, making them fit perfectly and giving you just the right amount of support.
Some people find that Birkenstocks don't have the right arch for their feet (I've had this problem), but if you try on a few different sizes and adjust the straps, you should be able to find a pair of comfortable sandals in no time.
There are cheaper copies of Birkenstock shoes, but none of them are even close to as good as the real thing. The footbed is the best, and the sandal straps are made of softened high-quality leather, so they are comfortable from the first day you wear them. I've had pairs of Birkenstock sandals last as long as seven years, which is longer than any other cork-soled leather sandal I've ever owned.
