Kmart shoppers are obsessed with a $10 item that looks almost identical to a $200 pair of Birkenstock sandals.
Bargain hunters have found what they believe is an affordable alternative to the expensive brand’s classic Arizona with gold buckles.
Cheaper slides have been flying off shelves across Australia, with fans claiming they are “better than Birks”, especially considering their extremely low price.
Both shoe designs look similar, but despite the huge price difference, there are many key features that Kmart’s version doesn’t have.
Birkenstock is widely known for its durable, robustly constructed, high-quality sandals that provide unparalleled comfort and support thanks to its contoured footbed.
The shoes are made from a mix of natural cork, latex and real leather.
These affordable flip flops have received a near-perfect rating, with an average of 4.7 stars out of 5.

Many claim that the sandals are surprisingly comfortable and are a “great alternative” for those who can’t afford the more expensive version.
‘I love them, they are super comfortable but still look good with most types of clothing. I think they are a little small so keep that in mind,” said one.
‘Comfortable and colorful sandals that match most outfits. “It looks a lot like Birkenstock sandals,” another commented.
‘This looks a lot like the original Birkenstock. It is very comfortable and I use it everywhere. “It’s amazing and it looks beautiful too,” one added.
Earlier this week, Kmart shoppers discovered a $10 must-have before the sweltering summer heat.
Portable bladeless fans ($10) are selling out nationwide as spring ends.
“They’re going to be eaten like hotcakes,” one shopper said after purchasing the item.
