this be a lovely sandal but beware of the size . I have return a pair already . I be measure as a 39 for Birkis -lrb- which I be tell run longer than birkenstock -rrb- . well , I find that this be not entirely true , especially if you order a soft footbed . although I be measure for 39 ... I wear 9 US ... I find it be too short to fit properly accord to the Birkis suggestion on where heel and toe must go . so now I must reorder a size larger and hope that it be not a huge leap . unfortunately you can not order half size in this as that would probably be perfect . beware of the size .
