Birkenstock sandals ($50)

Birkenstock Sandals: Women's GIZEH (Thong style with fully adjustable Birko-Flor strap and shock-absorbing EVA sole) Color : Golden Brown

Width: Narrow Size 37

(These fit me and I normally wear 7.5 US/Canadian; I think anyone with 6.5 or 7 might fit too)

$50 obo

 

At the time, I did not know how to fit a Birkenstock properly (should sit on the footbed and not spill outside it) or that Birkenstocks come in two width-options (regular and narrow). The salesperson did not tell me anything. Upon returning to Canada, I realized, however, that I have bought a 'Narrow' when I have fairly wide feet. This means, although the sandal comes with adjustable straps, the footbeds are for slim feet. I have walked around in these pairs only once for a few hours. These are great slippers but do not fit me as well as a regular would. I would like to buy a regular now. Unfortunately, can't return them as they are a store-only, in-person return from the store I bought. Stores in Canada sell these for $109.
