One thing to be clear is that these are very high quality in terms of the sound quality. Sizing Preference. These slippers were a little snug initially, but after a day or two they relaxed (and so did I) I ordered one size below my usual size and that proved to be the right thing to do. worth the buy! these are my first fancy birks and i am glad i took a chance on them! Purchased because it look great ???? love the designer COACH brand, and LOVE coordinating all my accessories ?? I am impressed in these 6 quart Sterilite Storage bins pack of 2, I was reading reviews and second quessed buying these because some complained of broken packages, not sturdy, no lids or not all lids, I have to say I order 2 of these 2 packs they arrived the next day None was broke, all lids was included and they are really sturdy, as seen in my images the lid even has a lip on the bottom of each side so when you place the lid on and push on it it makes a snap sound and you know its secured! Over the last 11 years ive tried about every type of back brace that every been made, everything from the little rubber band ones with the shoulder straps and Velcro they sell at the home improvement stores, "only thing there good for is to show off your how big your stomach is" to 1 that ran me a couple of grand out of pocket. I bought the "right" size the first time I purchased these slippers, and my husband couldnt keep his feet in them after a month of daily wearing. Some styles dont fit my feet as well as others--the Zurich model sandals have a strap buckle that hits the top of my toes and raises a sore spot.
