I find it very comfortable and it supports the arch of my feet better than other sandal that I have worn.I have never been a sandal person but I have been wearing these sandals every single day since I got them. They have broken in perfectly and I no longer have plantar fasciitis pains! I don’t think I will ever wear regular shoes againI have not had a pair of Birkenstock sandals in many years. I cannot believe what a disservice I’ve been to my feet. Theses felt great when I put them on and each day they feel even better. Just like I remember. Same freak product and quality.Purchase yours today… they are so worth it.❤️?Love Birkenstocks for a better price!!!Birkenstock claims to cut the leather for both shoes in a pair from the same piece of cowhide. That's so they match and age similarly.The pair I bought looked only slightly different from one-another when I bought them and you could only see it in just the right light. By the time I could tell that the left one was fading fast, it was too late to return them. Now, after wearing them for just six months they are so different that you can see it from any distance and in any light. They are an embarrassment to wear, so I just wear them around the house. I pretty much wasted $125.I see some reviews saying these are not real Birkenstocks. I think that they are real Birkenstocks, but I think they are returns which have been re-matched and resold. Imagine you get a pair of size 43s with a defective left shoe and someone else gets a pair of size 43s with a defective right shoe. Both are returned (lucky them that they noticed within the 30 day window!) Then the good right one from the first return is matched to the good left one from the second return. Theoretically these make one good pair, right? And you might even get lucky and find that they are close enough not to notice. Or you might not be so lucky and yours will end up looking like you got two totally different colors. Like mine did.The straps on the shoes are too short otherwise my husband loved the feel of them on his feet.My parents twenty some years ago gave me new Birks, and i remember how I loved them, comfy, fit right and last forever, made in Germany ! Now I am 55 old, fat and with bad legs and back, bout these new Birks and remembered how comfortable they were decades ago. These high end True Birks are made in Germany, don't settle for cheaper Berks made in China, you get what you pay for. Once out of the box, you are treated to the holy aroma of thick leather and that famous bullet proof German construction ! Buy these, you will enjoy them for many years to come !Great shoe !
