These sandals are a staple in my wardrobe now! The Birkenstock Yara features a special brand design that’s eye-catching and functional. The footbed molds nicely to the shape of your feet, ensuring superb comfort throughout the day. It's a must-have for fashion-conscious women.

The Florida Birko-Flor Sandals are a dream come true for summer! The combination of style and comfort is unbeatable. They have a great grip, making them perfect for all-day wear, even on warmer days. I love mixing and matching them with my wardrobe!

I have a couple pairs of the original version of these (with no ankle strap) and I wear them all the time . . . love them. However, I wanted a pair more securely affixed to my feet for walking all day on cobblestones and up and down lots of steps. These are not those. The ankle strap is there just to give a hint of the gladiator look, not to hold your foot in. Yes, the shoes would stay on if you tried to kick them off, but the straps don’t really hold the shoe to your foot. They are just as floppy/flappy when I walk at the originals, and not as flattering.

In the on-line picture, the yellow color of these sandals appears to be a lemon yellow. The "amber" yellow of the description is more accurate; the yellow is more of a pumpkin color. I had to use a hole punch to put an extra hole in the top strap to make these shoes fit my narrow foot with a low volume instep fit better. This is a common problem I have with Birkenstocks. The company needs to add more holes to the straps, especially on their narrow sandals. Birkenstocks are comfortable, good quality shoes that hold up well for a long time. I'm sure adding a couple of holes to the straps would attract more buyers. I love the "soft" footbed. When I ordered these shoes, I thought I was getting the color, "zest," and the description used the term "soft footbed," so I thought I was getting the soft footbed version of the Birkenstock. This shoe has the regular footbed. I need the support of a Birkenstock, and the amber color will work for me, so I kept the sandal. Whoever writes the descriptions needs to know the product well enough to distinguish between markings tor the narrow and regular footbeds as well as for the regular and "soft" footbeds.

As expected, these are light weight, a beautiful color and so comfortable! I love them. They dry fast and I have not had to break them in at all. I have walked a distance in them and the only draw back is you can not scuff your feet (they sometimes will get caught and you stumble!) Easy to clean, always feel cool and fresh when I put them on!

Definitely took a while to break in, but now they fit great, and I get compliments every time I wear them. Be wary of walking too far in them, particularly at first. After a couple weeks of owning them, I wore them all day for the first time. I walk as part of my commute about 3 miles a day. Around mile 2 I realized that I was getting blisters on the bottoms of my feet. I ended up calling for a ride home, which delayed my getting home by about an hour.It's a few weeks later now, and these sandals and I are getting along much better now. Ease into them, for sure. I find them extremely comfortable now, and very versatile. They can easily be both casual and formal, so they're really great in a lot of situations. These are actually my second pair in this style. My first one was in brown leather, which I recall having a little more flexibility to the leather when I first got them. I have the onyx now, and I really like the metallic sheen they have. Once you break them in, you might not need another pair of shoes all summer.

Again Birkenstock are comfortable, for me right out of the box. Worn for the evening and I was mostly on my feet. I literally hear my feet sigh with comfort. The foot beds in Birkenstock are so supportive and I really love them. This style I was worried about, but being Birko Flor they do not rub and so sensitive toes do not get sore. The Birko Flor has some stretch and give, I actually prefer Birko Flor than the leather in sandals. I have found it more forgiving on bare feet. The other point that I would mention is that the strap high up and across the foot is the one doing all the work and the foot levers from there. So the action around the toes is minimal and less pulling etc. The two straps also make your foot feel secure and in place at all times. I think that the look is simple and therefore goes with a variety of outfits, jeans, leggings, dresses and skirts. Just really nothing that they wouldn't work with. As for this color also wonderful and being Birko Flor has a little sheen to it and therefore makes it more dressy. As always SIZE DOWN for Birkenstock a whole size. I am a large 38 European and 7.5 sometimes 8 American and I take a solid 37 in Birkenstock. The only exception is in the closed shoes and clogs then you take your normal size so for me 38.

I really liked this Active Jungle case (looks great for the summer on the Eastern Shore) my cell phone which is a Samsung Galaxy 7 (with an OtterBox case) fit perfectly and the slip pocket inside I was able to fit get my credit cards and ID into, no problem. Then there's the outside slip pocket you can store bills or other slim idems into. I like to wear this around my neck instead of on the shoulder as it's not heavy. I have ordered the Egglant Purple, to have as an extra for the upcoming season.

I can no longer use a shoulder bag due to severe neck problems. This waist pack was the answer for me! It has plenty of room to carry all my stuff and has three zippered pockets with one interior pocket. I had purchased one probably 10 years ago, and it has lasted all this time.

Maybe I’m biased cause I’m a fan of Kipling. I love this I wear them at work which carries what I need. My phone my cards my money my chargers my earphones and my lotion and lipgloss. Quality is outstanding
