It's funny that what now seems like a ubiquitous sandal didn't even exist before 1973. It's what I picture Jesus walking around in as he lectures the masses, which is frankly absurd. Two leather straps tape your foot down to a suede-lined cup for your foot made of cork, stuck onto an EVA outsole. They feel like torture for the first couple of weeks, but after they actually conform to the shape of your foot, they're by far the most comfortable footwear I own. The shoemakers in Germany must know what they're doing.

Even if you wear through the EVA outsole, any decent cobbler should be able to replace it with something materially similar, if not an official Birkenstock-branded outsole, thereby eliminating the need to purchase a new upper and midsole and the break-in period that they come with.
