I found my new favorite travel sandals, thanks to my cat. I'm a Birkenstock girl through and through, but after my cat recently used my black Birkenstocks as a scratching post, I had a hard time justifying spending a ton of money on new sandals. So I turned to Amazon to find a comfortable, waterproof pair of sandals to wear while traveling. When I found Weweya's Double Buckle Pillow Slippers on Amazon, I was intrigued. After all, pillow sandals and slippers are becoming increasingly popular thanks to social media, and this particular style exuded a Birkenstock vibe at a fraction of the price.
I ordered the Weweya sandals and couldn't wait for them to arrive. I tried them on right out of the box and was amazed at how comfortable they were! The soles of the Weweya buckle sandals are about 1.5 inches thick and are made from Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) rubber, just like my favorite waterproof Birkenstocks. In fact, the entire shoe, including the adjustable strap, is made from EVA rubber, which gives it an incredibly comfortable and plush feel as you walk.

The lightweight EVA material used in these sandals is designed to be comfortable and durable. When I first put them on, I immediately noticed how they felt cushioned and soft with every step, and how well my feet and arches were supported. These sandals also feature a double buckle design, and the straps can be adjusted to your preferred tightness to get the perfect fit.
I bought a pair of black Weweya sandals and fell in love with their comfort and price. What's more, these shoes are waterproof, so you don't have to worry about getting your feet wet if you get caught in the rain during your trip. They dry quickly when you wear them on a rainy day or at the pool, keeping your feet comfortable and dry while preventing chafing and blisters.

After wearing my first pair of sandals for hours, walking around theme parks, airports, cruise ships, and around town, I decided to order another pair, this time in gold. The gold sandals look great, the buckle is shiny and stylish, and they're perfect to wear with dresses or skirts when traveling to dinner. Then I saw these sandals on sale at Amazon for 48% off, making them just $21 a pair. I added a few other colors to my Amazon cart because they're so light, flexible, and easy to carry.
I'm not the only one who loves Weweya sandals. The shoes have nearly 12,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, proving that many shoppers have tried and loved these comfortable Birkenstock lookalikes. “These shoes are amazing! My feet feel so comfortable in these shoes, it feels like I'm walking on pillows,” said one buyer.

Another reviewer said the sandals “feel like walking on bouncy clouds,” while one shopper likened them to “walking on a thick rubber mat,” and another satisfied wearer noted that the sandals “don't get mushy or soft when wet.”
These comfortable sandals are worth their $40 price tag, but at 48 percent off, they're even better value. As I continue to wear these sandals on summer trips, I'll be thanking my cat and her bad behavior. After all, if my cat hadn't started clawing at my Birkenstocks, I would never have found these comfortable, waterproof, lightweight summer sandals.
