just get these sandal . and what can I say ? they seem to be wide enough for my wide foot . and I like the look of they -- it be something about the ` retro-ness ' of they that I find so very appealing . the problem though for I be that I have very flat foot . and the contour of the footbed do not seem to respect that . it be like walk over some kind of hill or something . I do not know why Birkenstock can not make a shoe that can do away with the footbed thing . because I be tell you , it only work if you happen to have the ` right ' kind of arch in you foot . otherwise , you 'll be in for a lumpy experience !!! and who need that !!! these shoe will be stay in the closet . or at least there be always the Goodwill !!!
