Iona

I bought these for my daughter as a gift for her trip to Disney in December. She was counting on these Birks to be as awesome as her Birkenstock sandals. And they are! She is totally happy with the fit, comfort, and looks but was glad that she sized up due to most reviews stating that they ran small. My biggest disappointment as the purchaser was when I received the Birkenstocks in the mail with no original box--just an amazon box! No where on the site did it state that there was no original box. These were a gift to my daughter and I was rather embarrassed to give her these without the original box. It made her feel that they were knock-offs even though they truly are Birkenstocks. I would hope that Amazon would understand that to purchase such a costly pair of shoes, there would be the need to be sure that they were originals and that this was very important to the average customer. I would have still purchased the shoes if I had been told in advance that the box had been destroyed accidentally. She is still very happy and satisfied with these shoes.
