These were my third MBT sandal purchase.  MBT's are my favorite walking shoes.  Although i like the style of the Katika, they fit different from my others.  First the heel strap does not have an adjustment band and though the shoes fit fine in length and width, the heel was 'baggy' and i have wide feet.  i ordered 1/2 size larger than i usually wear and this worked fine.  Second, the front of the shoe near the toe was a strange shape - slightly more pointed and the 'point' was at a strange angle.  Finally the lining on the foot bed is a very light color (my others were a med to dark gray) and this looked weird with black sandals imo.  I did like that the rocker bottom of this style was not as tall as my Kisumu's. I am returning them.
