First time I wore Birkenstock’s I took them as my only footwear for a weekend break to Barcelona. After an hour or so I was in agony but we carried on walking around, I was rendered unable to walk after 4 hours and had to hobble back to the hotel. The arch support had strained muscles in my feet and the straps rubbed me raw. Plus I managed to get sunburn on the tops of my feet.
However since that day I have found them to be amazingly comfy and am onto my third pair in about 15 years.
