This was my first pair of Birkenstocks but I was excited as soon as I got them out of the box. It was love as soon as I putted them on. I immediately went back to Amazon to order another pair in a different color. I have been suffering from some foot pain and I don't have to worry about that with these shoes. I can be on my feet for hours and they still feel great. They look good, they feel great. I am definitely a fan.
