They are super cute and work at the pool. Exactly what I was looking for in my purchase. I would not walk in these for the whole day unlike a normal pair of Birks, so keep that in mind. They are really pool, beach, water, etc. shoes. I will stick to my normal Birks for days where I will walk a substantial amount. Due to the material they don't breathe as well so can uncomfortable when your feet start to sweat.
