text: TOO long and therefore the toe insert causes huge discomfort. I have owned a beige pair of Kairos and not bothered by the toe divider, in fact I prefer it (also wear 5-toe sandals) and the length/fit of these Papillio are different....the 40 appears/feels/is longer then my originals )-: The leather portion of Zebra is absolutely beautiful so disheartened that the fit is off. But the placement of that toe divider (thong) is critical to the comfort of the sandal. Have been finding that fits of not only shoes but clothing can vary - even if it is the same style of shoes/boots or cut of clothing. Think the manufacturers bid out to other manufacturers to build/construct/cut/sew their products and the final product can then vary - which is disappointing. So overall - appearance - beautiful; fit - for me, bad.
