Birkenstock is not one of the shoe brands that is usually associated with supermodels, but Heidi Klum collaborated with the German company to come up with a surprisingly stylish line of sandals that are also, like all of the designs from the company, orthopedically correct. The collection features silver and gold leather sandals, strappy lace-ups and a number of shoes that bear a strong resemblance to Converse styles from several years ago. Her collection also includes more traditional designs, like the black and white Napa leather sandals ($275) with rivets and crystals pictured here.

Nice sandals but WAAAAAAAAAAY TOO MUCH MONEY!! I can get a similar pair in WALMART for under $10 and when they wear out, I can throw them away without guilt!

I can't get to the link showing the other styles, but the one that's shown on this page is just another Birkenstock. I don't care how many brads and rhinestones they put on them: Birkenstock = ugly.

Check out BirkenstockCentral.com for other styles. I have been wearing birkenstock sandals for over 20 years and her styles are disgusting! Who wants rhinestones, they look like cheap garbage. I'm suprised that a good name like Birkenstock would go so low. Plus the price on these are unbelievable. I'll pay $100.00 because of good quality that will last many years, but $152.00 just for her name.....NOT !

For those of us with lousy feet from wearing too many high fashion shoes in our youth, Birkenstocks are great...We celebrate their homely comfort and don't need a luxe take on them.

I think they key factor here is that they are "orthopedically correct." Most shoes or sandals people wear are not. But I agree, you have to have the money to be able to afford the best.

Ho, Hum. Another in the moment celebrity endorses a product, gives mimimum imput into the design, "Oh, let's add rhinestones to the straps," and the price jumps over 100% so she is ensured a healthy, profitable return for the use of her easily recognizable name. I will stick to the unendorsed sandals.

I live in Birkies and have for years.In the winter I wear them with Birkensocks. My plain Birkies are great and they can be resoled and they last forever with good care. Who needs Klums bling? Not me

Birkenstocks are among the UGLIEST shoes known to man or more precisely womankind. Not even uber model Heidi Klum can make them look good.

My Birkies have lasted 13 1/2 years, with a half resoling. They are the most comfotable shoes ever. well worth the money, at any price.
