“Not what I expected it.”

“First off the footbed of the shoe was EXACTLY as expected. The sizing was typical Birkenstock. I normally wear a 36 in a Dansko, Naot or Sanita but good old classic Birk styles I wear a 35 and even though I have a pretty average width foot the Narrow fits best. I knew all of that and the fit was true to Birk. The ANKLE straps however are very stiff. The strap that goes over the instep has a buckle, however the strap that actually goes around the back of the heel was/is too big and it rubs unmercifully. Shame, they are cute but I am sending them back. The straps may soften and break in, but I am not that patient and don't want to waste the money (even though the were a great price) if the they don't. I have reordered another style and will give those a chance.”
