I bought these to replace an older pair of Gizeh sandals in the Golden brown color I had for about 7 years.  I've been on the look out for a new pair because I neglected to reseal the cork on my old pair and now they are beyond repair (although still super comfortable!).  When I saw these on sale for less than $50 I knew it was time to order a replacement and got the same size.  They fit the same except that I noticed this newer pair is about a 1/2 inch wider in the toe area (from the ball of my foot to the tip of the shoe) than my older pair.  My older pair isn't a narrow but I wonder if a narrow would be more similar in size these days.  Either way, great deal on a durable sandal!
