These are very well made, durable and true to size. The pattern itself seems to be an exact dupe of Birkenstock’s Kyoto. This is particularly true as far as the placement of the Velcro goes, which means there is all kinds of room if your feet are prone to super swelling but almost no Velcro overlap if you have shallow depth feet. Luckily, if that is the case, the fabric is rough enough that the excess Velcro will cling to it.
