Renewed interest from the runway shows gave us all another chance to fall in love with Birkenstocks! They are, most def', my go-to shoe when not at work. The support aligns the body correctly. They might not be "pretty," but they do have their own style! I am proud to be a Birkie lover and user!
Definitely size down. I'm usually a 7 1/2-8 and I ordered the 39 because the size chart said it would be good for size 8s. I'm retuning them for a smaller size. I have a narrow foot as well so it looked like my foot was swimming in these! Otherwise nice color and very durable.
