I love these Birkenstocks now, but there was a period of adjustment due to the larger toe thong. I did get some blisters initially which almost made wearing the Birks unbearable, but now they fit like a glove. I never want to take them off! Some background information - my shoe size is an 8 1/2. I purchased size 39 which corresponds to the U.S. 8 - 8 1/2. When putting on the Birks for the first time, it is important to make sure to undo the straps, place your heel in the heel bed, and then tighten the straps accordingly. I found that if I tightened the straps it didn't allow my foot to slide around as much. At first I had them looser and I think that is what really ended up causing the blisters in between my toes.
