Both the footbed and the sole are replaceable, through a cobbler or Birkenstock's own repair service. That is the real argument for the price. Leather uppers breathe and mould, which matters more over a long day than any amount of padding does.
Cork wants sealing once or twice a year at the exposed rim. Untreated, it dries and crumbles at the edges; sealed, it lasts as long as the shoe.
A closed back holds the heel, which steadies it on stairs and satisfies the dress codes that specify an enclosed shoe. For twelve-hour shifts the footbed matters more than the cushioning. Cushioning compresses; a supportive shape does not.
Tan shows grain and wear more honestly than any other shade, and darkens the most over the first year. Most of these are built on EU lasts and converted inconsistently to US sizing. Where you can, work from the EU number.
Leather needs roughly a day to release the moisture it absorbed from your foot. Two pairs alternated each last more than twice as long as one worn daily.
