Ive been through many pairs of slippers including the more moderately to higher priced brands but I always have an issue with them either tearing at the seams or getting holes. Came on time and just as advertised This product was in the trash within a week of delivery! The all-black version does look better and less obviously Crocs-y than the white though. Another big problem is that this Birkenstock London is made in Portugal (which is omitted in amazons description so you assume all is made in Germany) while the footbed insert (which is not removable) is made in Germany and therefore the fit is off/different. The straps are tight and dont allow my foot to slide all the way in. So comfortable so cute I love amazing ! They are easy to walk in and they are very stable. Cant go wrong with this unit. Both are very similar except for two things.
