Wonderful shoe. Birkenstocks are comfortable in general and give great arch support but I needed a closed shoe for cooler days. I live in South Florida so I didn't want it to be a fully closed, hot shoe, either. I had tried clogs on before and my heel lifted too far off the shoe when walking. I saw these advertised and decided to try them. With the strap I can fit the shoe to hug my foot firmly. I've received compliments each time I wear these. With the fuzzy wool, they have an unusual look. I love the shoe.
