Papillio by Birkenstock Florida Flex Essentials Waterproof Sandal (Women)

I absolutely hate these sandals. I got tricked into buying them by the lightness of it and cute colors, too. It’s one of those sandals that start off all comfy. Then as the day progresses, these killed my feet. A part of my foot scabbed because it was rubbing against the side of the shoe. I normally wear an 8 but I sized down because of the reviews that said these ran large. The 7.5 fit perfectly at first. I loosened the buckles to see if that would help, but it didn’t.

Im bummed to be returning these. I ordered online and didnt know they would have weight to them. I have a pair of EVA Gizeh sandals that are substantially lighter - 5.9oz total for the pair. These are about 19oz total and the difference is notable, and Im concerned they wont be as comfy as I was hoping/expecting due to this. They are actually heavier than my pair of Croc Bayaband clogs by several ounces. I love the style but im going to look for a different option that isn't so heavy.

Stopped by a store. Seen these cute sandals, tried them on & decided to get them. They seemed like they were going to be comfortable at first then the next day, my feet were so sore. They gave me cuts along the top of my foot from the straps rubbing despite me having had adjusted them to try to make it more comfortable. Hate these shoes! Need to return them & stick to my usual favorites…Reef Sandals.
