Ok ya’ll. I think these sandals are awesome. They feel great, are kinda cushy but with arch support. Compared to my birks, they are more comfy! Size (9) is spot on for me. And they are super cute. BUT. My feet got wet and I put on the sandals and MY FOOT SOLES ARE ORANGE. Looks like I stood in self tanner. Cannot wash it off. Ugh! The suede of the foot bed is colored, apparently. Had no idea. And the dye clearly transferred when wet. WTF. Hope it’s safe. Returning for a fresh pair. Too comfy and cute to not at least try again. Stay tuned.
I wear an 8 1/2 wide--usually a 39 in Birkenstocks. Based on the reviews, I ordered the Vista in a size 8 (38) of these and they fit almost the same as my 39s--soft soles are wonderful! Just so you have reference, I have duck feet--like pancake flat--so my foot finds ways to squoosh over the sides of shoes...all contained in these.The only point of note--the upper straps are real leather, so they need a little wear to loosen the stiffness of new leather...even with that, they weren't very uncomfortable...I could just feel the straps on my foot. No blistering or rubbing (though I only wore them for a few hours inside the house on the initial wear).I love that they are real cork, real footbeds, real leather for about half of the Birk price...been looking for the Arizona style to drop in price to get the brown sandals and now I have them!
I had these in my cart for the longest time, along with a pair of the Birkenstock in this style. I already own a pair of the Birks, and love them. I am typically in a 6 1/2-7 shoe, and based on the reviews here saying they run small or true to size, I originally purchased the size 7 even though I take a 36 in Birkenstock. They were too large, and the heel of my foot did not fit nicely in the heel cup. Reordered the size 6 and they fit perfectly. The soles on these are a bit softer compared to the Birkenstock (non-soft sole version), and I don't think they will take very long to break in. We will see if they have the same longevity, and if so, I would highly recommend them. They are real leather, too, which many of the Birks are not.
I own a pair of real Birkenstocks — these have a little bit more cushion. They feel great and are good quality. These sandals are sized just like Birkenstocks. Wonderful! Buy them!
