The delivery took place, as usual Amazon very quickly. The Mules exactly match my expectations. At a ball, I would not take determines this are the just not very nice and posh. But as slippers or for leisure in the garden etc. ideal. Very good ergonomic fit, have ordered the normal size, fits my wide feet like a glove. The upper is made rugged rawhide and the sole is well profiled. Had ever Birkenstock worn for many years and I am convinced even now it is worth the slightly higher price.
