Worth the wait for international shipping, and it was only 9 days. These are so cute and comfortable.Birkenstock says it all. Yes they cost more but they are worth the YEARS of usage you get out of them. Instead of thimbles, I think I’ll start collecting more Birkenstock’s. I’ve worn them for years but only had a pair or two at a time. Now that I’m older and have arthritis I think I’ll start collecting these for each outfit I have. Go for it!! You are worth it!! And NO Amazon or seller did not pay me to say this. 8)These are my first pair of Birkenstocks and I'm so pleased! I'm a teacher with plantar fasciitis and high arches, so I need shoes with solid arch support. I know Birkenstocks have a great reputation but I've been hesitant to spend the money because I don't feel comfortable in shoes without a back strap. This style is perfect! Supportive, fits my foot well, and super cute. People can't believe they're Birkenstocks. I will say, I ordered a size down based on advice to measure my foot in millimeters and I'm glad I did. Definitely check the sizing chart on their official website.I love everything about these sandals!These Birkenstock sandals are the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever worn. You just have to break them in for a few days. They run a bit big. I wear US size 8. I purchased size 38 (7-7.5).Shoes had damage to the cork - I assume that’s why they are being sold on amazon.I can only say BEAUTIFUL!!!! Those are labeled as men sandals; I took the chance on the sandals and the size; I’m happy I did. They make my feet look pretty feminine and they are comfortable and trendy. I normally wear women 11wide, they are a little roomy but not enough to return them. The only con is that they advertised leather but I think they aren’t.Had to return them as the strap that wraps around the ankle was too big. The fit of the shoe itself was perfect, but the strap were not.I had to return them as I couldn’t use the label the seller (from Italy) provided to return from the UK it cost me £39 to send it back to Bari.Totally regret it. Next time I will be sure not to buy unless I know it’s going to to be a perfect fit.I must admit I was worried about buying these sandals from the seller due to the lack of feedback from other Amazon users. Please buy with confidence! They were quickly posted (from Italy!) and fit perfectly. I was advised to go down half a size - so usually I am a Uk size 8 (euro 42) but I went for the 41's and they fit well.I went for these as the traditional flip flops often fall off my feet. These have the image of the traditional flip flop but the practicality of having the ankle strap as well.Fabulous ?? fitted perfectly look soo nice and really comfy !!! Needed them for walking around India, put them straight on no probs at all !!Fit is good BUT Birkenstock seem to be cutting back on the quality and dimensions of the uppers (shorter straps), which is really annoying given the pricing.Quick delivery. Excellent packaging. Item arrived as described, great product and very comfortable. Would recommend to others !
