Mephisto Zonder Men's Comfort Sandals - Lightweight & Supportive Walking Sandals for Men - Perfect for Travel, Hiking & Casual Wear

After having to throw away my Birk's after one season, I figured this time, let me try something different. And I am glad I did. Not cheap, but these are excellent sandals. I use them around the house mostly - they are comfortable and easy to slip on and off (although I did need to tighten both straps one hole) . They look to be quite substantial, especially in the sole, which was the weak point for the Birk's. I think I have a new favorite sandal. It is evident from first glance that these are a more substantial sandal. I expect break-in to take no time are a great looking design. These are the 1st pair of Mephisto sandals I've owned and I might need to buy a back-up pair, especially if these become an outside shoe. One word on sizing. I am a 10 1/2 Brannock size D width. I went with the 10, or the EU44 and the fit is spot on. My larger foot measures 11" actual, so you can use that as a reference.I will update as time progresses.
