These sandals have never been worn. Like all Birkenstocks they are super comfortable and versatile. These shoes have multiple Velcro closures so you can adjust the fit accordingly. The Velcro closures are pictured. The only defect these sandals have are the size stickers. You’ll notice on the heels of both shoes there is a size sticker that I took off very poorly. The stickers do not interfere at all with the function of the shoe. They are also not seen when they are being worn. These shoes are a maroon/wine color.
