They require zero break-in period and are my go-to pair for airports, cruises, theme parks, and city exploring.

I owe discovering my new favorite travel sandals to my cat. I'm a Birkenstock girl through and through, but when my kitty recently used my pair of black Birks as a scratching post, I struggled to justify spending that kind of money on a replacement pair. So, I turned to Amazon in search of comfortable, waterproof sandals to wear on my travels. When I discovered Weweya double-buckle pillow slippers at Amazon, I was intrigued. After all, pillow sandals and slippers have become increasingly popular thanks to social media, and this particular style was giving definite Birkenstock vibes at a fraction of the price.
I ordered the Weweya sandals and anxiously awaited their arrival. Straight out of the box, I put them on and could not believe how comfortable they were. The sole of the Weweya buckle sandals is about 1.5 inches thick and made from ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) rubber, just like my beloved waterproof Birkenstocks. In fact, the entire shoe, including the adjustable straps, is made of EVA rubber, resulting in a pillowy-soft feel that’s incredibly soothing and squishy to walk on.

The lightweight EVA material the sandals are made from is designed to be comfortable and sturdy. When I wore them for the first time, I immediately noticed that each step felt cushioned and soft, yet my feet and arches felt well-supported. The sandals also have a double-buckle design and the straps can be adjusted to your preferred tightness, ensuring the perfect fit.
After buying and wearing my black Weweya sandals, I fell in love with the comfort and the price. What’s more, the shoes are waterproof, so if I found myself caught in the rain during my travels, wet feet were a nonissue. When I have worn the shoes in the rain or to the pool, they’ve dried fast, leaving my feet comfortable and dry and preventing rubbing or blisters.

After wearing my first pair of sandals for hours at a time — through theme parks, airports, cruise ships, and cities — I decided to order another pair, this time in gold. The gold color of the sandals looks great and the buckles are shiny and stylish, making them a good option to throw on with a dress or skirt when I’m headed to dinner during my travels and want to look a bit more dressed up. The sandals have since gone on sale at Amazon for 48 percent off, making them just $21 a pair. Since they’re so lightweight, flexible, and easy to pack, I’ve already added a few other colors to my Amazon cart.
I’m not the only one who loves these Weweya sandals. The shoes have close to 12,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, proving lots of shoppers have tried and fallen in love with these cozy Birkenstock look-alikes. One purchaser says this is “A great shoe. My feet are so comfortable in these shoes, it's like walking on a pillow.”

Another reviewer states the shoes “feel like you’re walking on bouncy clouds,” and one shopper compares the sandals to “walking on a thick rubber mat.” And yet another happy wearer confirms the sandals “can get wet without becoming soggy and soft.”
These cozy sandals are well worth the $40 price tag, but at 48 percent off, they’re even more of a steal. As I continue to pack and wear them on my summer travels, I’m thankful for my cat and her poor behavior. After all, had she not clawed my Birkenstocks, I’d never have discovered these comfortable, waterproof, lightweight summer sandals.
