My wife bought this pair of shoes, she loves the original Birkenstock sandals footbed, the only ones that solved her feet pain problems. Winter was always a problem, sandals are not comfortable in this season not even in California. Her new job was also a problem, she required tough shoes. This pair solved all problems, they have a Birkenstock footbed, antislip sole, and at least they look tough. Our only concern was that they look cheap since the shoes are made mostly of rubber, however, since they are black, you need to look very close to notice this.
After a month of use she is very happy, no more pain in the feet with shoes that are appropriate for her working environment and can be used in the mild California winter.
