Has anyone seen an indoor barefoot shoe that resembles classic Birkenstocks?

Could you specify further what you don't understand? I am having trouble understanding what is unclear in my first post. Yes, I want straps.. Just like a Birkenstock sandal. I also want a sole. Just like a Birkenstock sandal. But I want it to be zero drop.. Just like all barefoot shoes. I also want it to have a wide toebox (or in this case; a more generously rounded toe area) just like all barefoot shoes.

All in all: i do not want a random barefoot sandal with random straps, like the xero Z-trek for example. As stated in my first post: i am looking for a classic Birkenstock sandal, but with the core traits of a barefoot shoe.

Birkenstock are zero drop and roomy toebox. But they are supportive and stiff.

I bought a Birkenstock fake and will try it out. Father in law works with making shoes for disabled people, so I've got that going for me.
