Flattering and covers a bunion on the side of the big toe. This is my favorite Birkenstock. It's easier for me to wear because I prefer the thong/slipper style over the slide. I worry less about whether it will slide off my feet when I'm walking or running around. The only caveat is that there is a weak spot in the design. After much wear, the toe strap simply pops out of the footbed! I had another color in this style that broke like that after 4 years of wear, and I saw other information online that others had experienced the same problem. It seems that repairing it would cost almost as much or more than buying a new pair. I still liked it enough that I bought a second pair to replace my broken one.
