I have been buying this same style of Birkenstock sandal for many years now. I have tried other styles of Birkenstock sandals but I always come back to the three strap Florida style. I can slip my foot into them or out of them, but with three straps, my shoe stays on also. I had some two-strap Birkenstock sandals before and they would sometimes come off my feet while out in the yard.

This style is so comfortable and these in particular have arch support. As soon as I put them on, they feel comfortable--unlike many other shoes that need to be broken in. They will last many years. I should take my older ones in to the shoe repair because new soles can be put on them, but I feel I have gotten my money's worth out of every pair I have bought.
