They arrived today and holy wow, I cannot get over how comfortable these are. We'll see how well they hold up - but my feet love them so far. They look exactly as you'd expect - which is to say, if you like the 70s crunchy granola sandal look, they're tops, and if you don't, you would hate them.
Happy you have happy feet, OP! - SAS booster PP

Those SAS are so beyond granny style. Those are more like Sisters of Charity nun style, no offense.

So, I'm a new Birkenstock person. I've worn the "fake" ones for years and finally decided to buy a real pair last summer. I feel like I wore them enough to break them in, but they are not as comfortable as my fake ones.
The arch is so high in them compared to the moderate arch in my fake ones. Is that a normal Birk feature?
I have one arch that is lower than the other and that foot is really bothered by the high arch in the Birkenstock. After about an hour or so of wear, I get intense cramps in that foot in the area.
I was thinking of giving them away this year. I tried wearing them again over the weekend to a small town event where I knew I'd be doing a good bit of walking but only for 90 mins., and by the time I got home, my low arch foot was killing me.
The arch will mold to your feet once broken in. I have very flat feet. The flatter your arch, the longer it will take to break in, but it should happen.
I agree with this - birks take a VERY long time to break in. Have you tried wearing them around the house with socks? This can help with the process.
