very Disappointed . these be be return because they be NOT German make Birkinstocks , they be stamp on the bottom make in china -lrb- with USA and a number on the footbed ... would that be a patent number ? -rrb- . although the foot bed may be shape like a original Birki there be not enough height from the foot bed to the strap esp . on one sandal -lrb- ? -rrb- . they also appear to be make for the thin foot . I wear the Caribbean make in Germany waterproof sandal and have several pair . I highly recommend they for comfort and durability . the Amazon description of the Waikiki lead I to believe I be get german birkenstock sandal , make in GERMANY . I do not see CHINA any where in the Amazon description , do I miss it ? I do not buy make in China shoes\/sandals and would never ever have order these have I have accurate info .
