Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Agony of the feet! Comment: I bought these because they look almost identical to my beloved Gizehs. They turned out to be far less flexible, and the thongs injured my middle toes so badly after very brief and painful wearing that I could not wear any shoes at all for the several days it took my feet to heal. Don't be misled by their visual similarity to Gizehs. Customer Rating: Summary: Betula Sandals Comment: I bought these sandals because I was looking for something reasonably nice-looking, yet comfortable enough to walk long distances. It was a good choice on both counts. They are sturdy and provide a good amount of support. While I would not wear them to a formal event, I believe these sandals do not look shabby in any way. As with all Birkenstock brand sandals, be advised to not wear them for long distances at first. Give them a chance to become broken in by wearing them for short trips, so they can form to your feet without causing blisters. Customer Rating: Summary: Betula sandals Comment: THe shoe is exactly what I expected, the fit is fine, and the delivery time was quite good. OVerall, this shopping experience was a joy. Customer Rating: Summary: Great shoes Comment: I seem to have developed fallen arches and these shoes have been extremely helpful in keeping my arches supported and my feet comfortable. Customer Rating: Summary: Why made in China not Germany Comment: I thought it was made in Germany. Will not buy Birkenstock any more for the price I paid.
