Love the shoes, not the sizing! Needed a ½ size smaller than usual!!
UPDATE: I now have these shoes in 4 different colors! Mocha (the color in the first 3 photos), black, army green, and the dark chocolate brown (pictured in the last photo). I also have a dark grey color in the Fitory brand, and taupe in the Xiakolaka brand. KIDMI is by far my favorite of the 3 sellers, with Fitory being my least favorite. As far as appearance goes, the KIDMI and Xiakolaka clogs are pretty much identical. The only real difference between those 2, that I can tell, is the footbed. I can't really say that I favor one brands footbed over the other, really, as they don't feel all that different, though the Xiakolaka brand does have more padding in the heel. The Fitory brand does differ slightly in overall appearance, and the footbed is much more narrow compared to the other 2 brands. Fitory does have extra memory foam padding in the heel like Xiakolaka, but the Fitory clogs also have a bit of a higher arch, and I'm personally not that wild about that since I do have flat feet. KIDMI and Xiakolaka are wider with less of an arch, and they're perfect for me. The Fitory brand I use as house shoes only, as they do hurt my feet after awhile. If you're on the fence about these, get em while they're on sale! I LOVE these shoes, and I plan on getting some of the fleece lined ones when the colder months start rolling in. PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIZE CHART! As I mentioned in the original review below, I always wear a US womens 8.5, unless it's a shoe that's only offered in whole sizes, in which case I wear an 8. I had to go with the size US 7.5-8/EU 39 in these.m, which fit perfectly with and without socks. I strongly suggest measuring your foot to compare for shoe size before making a decision.Loooove these shoes, but the sizing is scary! Unless I'm picking out shoes that only come in whole sizes (I go with an 8 in that case), I will usually wear a US size 8½ in women's shoes. However, I am very glad that I sized down to the 7½-8 for these, as the 8½ in these shoes would have been far too big for my feet, and I would have def had to return them had I gotten my normal size. I stressed over which size to get these shoes in for about a week, and, eventually, once I learned that a EU women's size 39 is typically the equivalent to a US women's size 8½, and after comparing this brand's size chart to other brands with the same style shoe, I decided to go with this brand's size 7½-8, which was labeled as EU size 39. A size 7½-8 would typically be too small for me unless they were open toed sandals (and even then, it can be questionable), but these shoes fit me perfectly!! The 7½-8 fit the exact way that I'd have expected a regular pair of women's US size 8½ to fit, with and without socks. Now, I haven't had them long enough to wear them out of the house yet, nor can I comment on durability, but these are def a decent pair of Birk dupes for the price (I got them on sale for around $32). They don't feel cheap, and they do feel like real suede. I didn't notice any weird smells out of the box. The only thing that I could complain about besides the sizing is the adjustable strap with the buckle that goes across the top of your foot. I DO have flat feet (but they're not very large, I hardly ever buy wide shoes), and while the soles of these are perfectly comfortable for me, I still feel like I'd like the shoe to fit just a tad bit more snuggly around my whole foot. I can adjust the strap to a smaller size if needed, but if I go just one notch tighter, the end of the strap juuuust starts to touch the ground, and I don't want to do that. This isn't a huge deal for me, as I will most likely always wear socks with these shoes. Anyway, I'm overall super happy with these. I would buy them again (and would still buy 1 size DOWN from what I typically wear!), and I would absolutely recommend these to anyone looking for this style of shoe while also not trying to spend $100+ on them at the same time. I will say - I AM afraid to get these wet in fear of them staining, but I also feel like that's a given with any type of suede shoe. Even a pair of $200+ Ugg boots will get water stains if you walk through the snow with them without using some sort of waterproofing spray first (ask me how I know 🫠). I got these in the the color Mocha, and I love the color. Depending on how well these hold up after wearing them outside, I will likely be back to get them in the colors Coffee, Black, and maybe even Grey. They're just so comfy, and they look cute with sweats, jeans, leggings, and shorts. Great shoes at a good price!Ver másVer menos
