Purchased from Matchesfashion before they went bust (total shame) and have never wore the sandals. Very comfortable and the leather is buttery soft. These are heavier than a more traditional Birkenstock (think Arizona) but have a softer feel on the foot (my opinion). Sandals will ship in their original box. Thank you for looking :))) Description from website- Designed with contoured footbeds that support your arches, Birkenstocks are like no other sandals in the game. This pair is equal parts cool and comfy. Unlike some of their more granola-looking siblings, they’re crafted from high-shine leather and topped with sleek gold buckles. Upper: natural leather; Insole: natural leather; Footbed: cork-latex; Sole: rubber Made in Germany
