These are fake. Birkenstock has stopped selling their sandals on amazon because of third party counterfeits since January 2017 (a fact I just learned by looking online) These are a good counterfeit, they look and feel pretty legit but i have a real pair that has held up and these don't measure up. The fake pair has different colored black writing and they even messed up on the order of the foot logo and shoe size. I am returning.
