I’ve been looking for a pair of these for years, so when I noticed them on WPG for only $45, I snapped up a pair of size 11s. My feet are 11aa as measured on a Brannock Device, and the 11s were an excellent fit. If they become a bit wider when worn in, then I can always make a leather insole to glue inside to take up any slack. So far so good, but they aren't going to get much wear for several months though as it’s currently -30 degrees Celsius here right now, so we’ll have to wait and see.
Incidentally, the right sandal rubbed the top of the big toe on my right foot, where the lower strap passes over that toe, but inserting the horn of a small anvil inside the toe hole, and thumping the offending strap a few times with a rubber mallet seems go have sorted that problem.
They are much dressier than my standard summertime Chacos sandals, and I’m really looking forward to wearing these in.
Construction and materials are excellent! Far better than the price point would suggest, and it just goes to show the insane markups that are standard in the footwear world! I’m looking forward to getting several years of hard wear from these sandals.

Just like the ones my Dad brought home from India after WWII.

The sandals are to the correct size and in very good condition. I am looking forward to wearing them on holiday.
