For the record, I'm usually 38 in Birkenstocks and 8-9 in boots and TEVs. I can wear 8 in them and they fit perfectly. and they feel secure without having to overtighten the straps and without one strap being longer than the other. this is my third pair, not because they are worn but because i love them so much! more comfortable than the Chaco OG for those of us who don't need a lot of arch support but need something when it makes sense 😍 Comfort right out of the box 👍🏽
