Wow these are comfortable! I think these are more comfortable than any of the Birkenstocks I've owned. They fit me true to size,  and I'm glad I ordered my normal size. Though, they are very wide and I probably wouldn't order the unisex version of these shoes because they are probably even wider. But, this means I can wear very heavy socks with them, well into Winter. I purchased this pair because of an amazingly low price drop here on Amazon, it was an absolute steal, especially since this is my first pair and I really just wanted to try them. I was trying to figure out what made the design of these so special, spirit circle things, I wasn't impressed with the picture online. But when I wore these out into the sunlight I realized the thread in them is a satiny rainbow thread. Very subtle but pretty. Love these.
