I recently bought 2 pairs of the 711 sandals.  The first pair from a small shoe boutique in the West Village, the second pair from Amazon.  The shop owner told me he has been selling Worishofers for 20 years and now women are deciding they are cool.  I love the granny appeal, they are extremely comfy and a unique alternative to Birkenstocks.  The sizes run a little small so order up and if you have really narrow feet, this is probably not the best style for you. Medium or wide width feet are going to enjoy this orthopedic sandal.
