These sandals are a summer staple. They're the perfect mix of comfort and style, and their simple design goes with everything.

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.

I bought a pair of these in blue three years ago and they are still going strong! I just bought another pair in silver since the price was lowered and love them! They do take a few wears to feel comfy but once they break in they are perfect and last for years.

These sandals are significantly better than the dupes. This is my second purchase from the brand, not because the first pair wore out, but because I wanted to add another color. The are comfortable and stay looking good for a long time.

Hurt my toe at first but they are good to go now and they are comfy and cute! They should last me many many years to come because the brand is so reliable and that’s what u expect when u get some Birkenstocks :)

I love Kipling bags and it is the only name brand bag I buy. So I'm familiar with the quality of these.I received the XL backpack that seems authentic, but it isn't like in the photo. I've attached photos of my bag.The first big thing I noticed: there's no zippered laptop compartment in the back as shown. There is a small zipper on the top with a super-tiny pocket (think wallet, phone, passport or plane tickets... maybe not all depending on your phone and wallet size). There is an open pocket inside with some padding, however. But not easy access to the laptop, so I don't know how this is advertised as a laptop bag. Maybe it was a redesign because there's complaints about the zipper breaking? I can see that this will be stronger in the long run not having a zipper near the back straps.There is an additional unpadded pocket in the main compartment as well that isn't shown in the advertisement photos at all. Mine is beige where the photos show blue and no extra layers.The other difference is the pen/accessory pocket sewn in the front large compartment is also different than shown on my bag... Mine has one big pocket toward the back of the bag and a place for pens. No padded pocket up there nor a pocket on the front flap.Finally, the bottom corners are without lining like I expect from Kipling bags - so it is not reinforced precisely where backpacks usually get holes. There is lining on the bottom, but it doesn't extend all the ways to the corners. It seems odd and may shorten the life of the bag. It also diminishes protection of contents if anything hits the bottom corners. This is designed for clothes in the main compartment, not school books or binders with pointy corners.I'm not sure if I got a fake bag. The barcode had black lines through it, but the bag seems unused otherwise. The rubber monkey keychain is the same as with other bags.I'll give it a try as the size and weight are what I need (it should be perfect as a Spirit or Frontier personal item), but I will report back if the laptop is hard to access in transit. I am not using it to carry binders or school books so the corner weakness may or may not be an issue.I'll try to report back. This will either be a redesign for the better (for travel and non-school use), or will be a pain through TSA and trying to work on the plane.

Es excelente

I’m a Kipling bag fan and forever will be. This backpack is the perfect size and I love all the different pockets.

I wish it was lined to make the bag lasts. Also I wished it was a little biggerFeeling little disappointed on this product

Well made and can use as a cross body to carry my iPhone when I walk every morning for exercise.
