I gave these very cute sandals only two stars because they really, really HURT my feet! I am so surprised, partly because I expected them to be just like Birkenstocks, and also because of the great reviews.  As soon as I put them on, they were KILLING my feet across the top of my foot where the buckles were.  I tried to feel underneath, thinking that surely something got bent under or something was caught, but neither was the case.  I had to take them off immediately because they hurt too badly to walk around in.  The leather NuBuck seemed high quality, the color was nice (but more of a light pink than peach), and they appeared to be well made.  The price was great.  But they really hurt me, so I had to send them back.

They are unlike Birkenstocks in the footbed.  It is soft, but the toe ridge is different, and the arch is different.  The toe ridge didn't bother me, but the arch hit my flat feet in the wrong places and contributed to the pain.  It felt like something was under my feet, like a ball or something, but it was just the relatively low arch support, and it wasn't in the right place for me.  The real problem, though, was the buckles.

I think I'm the exception because nobody else had a problem, but I promise: I am not making this up.  They HURT!
