These are my go to sandals. I have high arches and these support them perfectly.
They have helped me keep that awful plantar fasciitis away. They last quite a few years and can actually can be renewed at a shoemaker if wanted. You have to maintain the cork with sealer once or twice a year. It's just a brush on sealer that's easy to do. Love them.
These soft foot bed shoes, hardly need any breaking in at all! What’s one more they are Birkenstocks on good quality, and I expect that they will wear well also.
