this be my 2nd pair of the Birkenstock cozumel silky toe thong . I find they very comfortable and really find the taupe a useable neutal color . I really appreciate be able to find a narrow by from order from Amazon . this size be hard to find . my only complaint about the shoe be the suede over the toe strap seperate on both this shoe and my prior pair . I have be wear birkenstock for 10 + year . I have a injured arch and I begin wear they at my doctor 's recommendation . I have several style and would not be without they , arch problem or no arch problem . I wear other type shoe very rarely
