Finding a summer sandal that looks polished but won’t leave your feet blistered and begging for a break can be a tall order. Julia Roberts appears to have found the sweet spot with the Birkenstock Gizeh, a streamlined take on the brand’s famously comfy sandals. Even better, her exact everyday style is on sale and on Amazon.

Roberts was spotted walking in Manhattan wearing a black loose eyelet blouse, easy-going pants and sunglasses. The all-black outfit is totally chic, and made her shiny silver Gizeh sandals stand out. Unlike the brand’s classic Arizona style, Roberts’ pick has a slimmer, more refined profile. Still, it doesn’t compromise on comfort, featuring the same supportive footbed that has made Birkenstock an enduring footwear staple.

Instead of traditional flip-flops with flat, barely-there soles, the Birkenstock Gizeh features a contoured footbed designed to support the natural shape of your foot. The thong-style silhouette and adjustable buckle keep the design clean and minimal, making the sandals easy to pair with everything from breezy dresses and linen pants to denim shorts.

They’re also the kind of shoes you’ll be glad you packed when vacation days involve hours of sightseeing. Slip them on for a morning coffee run, wear them to lunch, then keep walking well into the evening without having to trade in your thoughtfully planned outfit for more practical footwear.

In fact, shoppers specifically rave about how far they can comfortably walk in them. One Amazon reviewer described them as “the most comfortable slippers anyone can wear.” The shopper even said they “walk miles” in them.

For others, the supportive fit is what keeps them coming back. “I love them so much because I have very high arches and my knees are sensitive to the shoes I wear,” said another reviewer. “These are the only sandals I will ever wear, and that is coming from someone who has custom made orthopedics in all her other shoes.”

Gone are the days of having to choose between cute sandals and a pair you can actually walk in — Robert’s go-to Birkenstocks are proof that you really can have both. Comfortable, timeless and easy to style, they’re an everyday pair you can wear now and for summers to come.
