I've purchased and worn Birkenstocks for years and love them! However, I'm having a problem with the divider on the right shoe hurting my toes. This may not be a fault of the shoe but rather a change in my anatomy as I have arthritis in my feet.  These are so pretty, my favorite color...turquoise...and I wish I could acclimate to them as well as I have other Birkenstocks I've purchased. I think whoever purchases these will be happy with them if they don't have my foot problem.
