Community noted

A single-strap slide sandal from Birkenstock built on the brand's contoured cork-latex footbed, worn as an everyday house or outdoor sandal.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Recommended as a longer-lasting alternative to cheap cross-strap sandals; redditors note Birkenstocks can be resoled and repaired at a cobbler instead of replaced.
