Missy and I are Birkenstock fans. There are different types of footbeds across their shoes and the soft footbed is the the most comfortable, softest and easiest sole to break in. I love Birkenstocks because they provide great arch support. I have walked so many steps in these sandals and they provide the same arch support as my Hokas. They are worth every penny. The silver does scratch a little, so I would recommend protecting with leather protector before wearing. Sarah has in silver, Missy has in rose gold.
Missy loves these sandals because they go with everything and even though they are flat, the sole molds to your feet providing some arch support. She walked around Spain in these and did not even have feet pain! Unlike other wrap sandals, these actually stay tied. Goes up to size 14 in shoes!
