This is my 3rd style of Birkenstock sandals, I also have the granada & madrid style. I like this style a lot! It was comfortable right out of the box! I have always loved thong style sandals & these are awesome. I was a little worried that the plastic piece between the toes would be hard but its soft & feels like silicone. They don't flop around at all when you walk. The price was great too on Amazon! The sizing is a little weird though, normally where a size 7.5 in US but in these I wear a 37 Euro. These are my new favorite sandals! I love the arch support! They look super feminine & cool!
