The style of the sandal is really nice. I have high arches, so the support that Birkenstock offers is exactly what I need. If you aren't used to this type of arch support, it can seem pretty intense at first. You should just wear them a few hours at a time each day until you become accustomed to it. Once you do, you'll never want to wear anything else!

According to other reviews and the Birkenstock website, a size 37 (6-6.5) should have fit me perfectly. I wear a 6.5 and the only time that differs is in an athletic shoe or hiking boots, in which case I size up to a 7. I for sure thought that I wouldn't have a problem with the size of the shoe since the top end of a 37 says it's 6.5. However, these were way too big. I felt like they looked like clown shoes. If I put my arch in the correct spot on the footbed, my toes barely showed under the flap of the sandal, and the thong hit in the middle of my big toe instead of where my toes join my foot.

All in all, it's a really pretty sandal that looks good with shorts or a casual dress, and the support it offers is excellent. I'm just not sure that the size recommendation is accurate.
