text: I am not sure I am going to keep this particular pair of sandals as they do not fit like the platinum colored ones I bought a little while ago.The strap is made for a majorly narrow foot unless you want to spend a great deal of time breaking them in. Shoes that cost this much should be comfortable out of the box, like Birkenstock for heavens sake! I can tell you that these shoes are not even in the same class with those German made friends I have in my closet. I will try a shoe stretch solution and if that doesn't work, back they go!
