I had just a few minutes to stop into a store on my way to an airport. I asked the sales person to show me something with the support of a Birkenstock - but that was more delicate than most Birks. She gave me THIS shoe to try on - with the insole it FITS extremely well and provides excellent support. This shoe fits me like it was HAND MADE FOR ME. I have a lot of problems with shoes, and have worn these for years and I will keep buying them in the future. So glad you still make this particular style.
