I bought a pair of copies from Jocelyn shoe shop in Legian in 2005. I don't know how they compare to the real thing as I've never worn real Birkenstocks, but I do know they are the most comfortable slip ons/thongs I've ever worn. Unfortunately they broke a few months ago so I'll have to buy new ones this trip. From memory, they were around AU$15-20 and I wore them to death both in Bali and at home.
To be honest, I didn't even know what Birkenstocks were when I bought them. I just knew they were comfy when I tried them on and they were bought for wearing around Bali on that holiday. I didn't expect them to become favourites at home, lol. It was only when someone asked me if they were real that I first even heard of Birkenstocks.
