Have I chosen this Birki, so I can do what even in wet weather / lawn in the garden, without getting your feet wet. And exactly for this purpose they are perfect. I also think that the sole is thicker than my other Birkenstock, so I was able to also work perfectly with the spade. Too heavy, I do not find them now. (Certainly harder than the other rubber Birkis) The ordered size fits perfectly. The shape and color I find also very nice. Would she always buy at this price again. (50 would be just too expensive)
