If you have ever worn Birkenstocks you know why they are so popular. The 'Bern' soft footbed clog is no exception. The fist time I put these on they were perfectly comfortable. The suede leather is nice and soft. In case you were wondering about the M and N designations with the sizes (I had to contact amazon customer support to find this out) M stands for Medium, which is supposed to be the 'regular width' and N is for Narrow. I wear non-wide shoes normally and I ordered the Medium size and the width was just right.
