These are nice sandals, could have been even better … added comments below … upgrade to 5 stars
These sandals appear to be well made from quality materials. They are nice sandals. They are a very good value at less than 1/5th the price of the very well know brand.My feet are wide in front and narrow in at the heel. I have a high arch and a reasonably high instep. I normally wear a size 7W. These were not available in wide but I took a chance based on how they looked in the photos and order size 7M. The front of these sandals is sufficiently wide and the length is fine. I was able to adjust the two straps to accommodate my foot shape. I loosened the front strap and tightened the back strap so that my foot doesn’t slip and slide when I walk. I wish the back strap was softer against the foot. However, if I loosen the back strap to make it more comfortable, my foot slides making this sandal, inadequate for walking. I will likely try some cushioning inside the strap before I attempt walking in these. Were it not for the issue of strap comfort, I would rate these sandals 5 star. Note, I upgraded to 5 stars.Although I am not a fan of breaking in footware, I liked these enough to attempt to make the buckles more comfortable. I applied large bandaids to the top of my foot where the buckles hurt, put on thin socks and wore these sandals around the house for about an hour each day for a few days. They are getting better. I have been able to remove the bandaids and just wear socks with them. I am still only wearing them in the house for an hour. I am so hopeful that I will be able to walk outside without socks that I ordered another pair in a different color.I purchased two more pairs of these. My original pair is now very comfortable. I will break in the two new pairs the same way I broke the original pair.I have upgraded the rating to 5 stars. Why? Because I also purchased a pair of the well know brand (B’s) which cost more than 5 times more than one of these. The B’s are taking even more time to break in.

Exactly what I was looking for!
I had a pair of knockoff Birkenstocks over a decade ago that I wore into the ground and I've been meaning to get myself a decent pair of similar two-strap leather sandals for ages, but I just can't justify paying over $100 for a pair of sandals! So I figured I'd give these a try because they're real leather and were under $30. I did "try before you buy" with size 8 and 9, since I tend to be between sizes, but usually a little on the bigger side. The 9s were too big (so order a size down if in doubt, as others have said). And my feet are fairly wide, so I adjusted the buckle on the 8s a notch and they fit perfectly. After a day or two of breaking in, they felt like old friends on my feet. Magnificent sandals!I get so happy every time I slip them on my feet. They are exactly what I was looking for and I absolutely love them. Sturdy, affordable, and so comfortable that once I put them on I don't want to take them off. Very happy to have found these--I wish I had bought them for myself years ago. I could have been wearing them all this time! I will wear these suckers until they fall apart, and it doesn't look like that'll be for a LONG time, so I'm pretty stoked about that. Happy with these shoes to the point of giddiness, as silly as that is.

Cute and comfy and nice price too!
Cute and comfy! The gold color is fun for this grandma. I like wearing them with my summer colored capris. Their not the quality of the Birkenstock, but the price isn't either. So if you're looking for a super cute sandal that will last a couple of summers and is pretty darn comfy, you'll definitely want to get a pair.

Order a size up!
Product definitely runs small, be sure to order a size up. Aside from that, these sandals are super comfy and already feel broken in. I love the sage green color. They seem to be pretty sturdy despite being pretty lightweight. They definitely seem well made, but I'm not planning on pushing my luck with them by doing any hiking or anything in them. They seem perfect for a day on the beach, gardening, or running errands.I bought these on sale because no way was I going to pay full price for them. Aside from the size thing they're great sandals, don't get me wrong, but I'd encourage anyone interested in them to keep an eye out for sales - $25 is way more fair than $40!

Hands Down Your Go-To Spring to Fall Sandal
Birks???? No need! These White Mountain Helga Sandals Are the absolute perfect dupe!! I literally no joke buy a new pair every Spring because I wear them constantly through Fall. I own a few different pairs of White Mountain shoes and they never fail to provide quality, durability and style! They fit perfectly true to size for narrow or wide feet! IMO they are the go to for every foot shape and size Spring through Fall!! Don't hesitate!!

Recommended By Podiatrist
I’ve been wearing these for the past 10 years. I have Lymphedema on both legs. It is chronic swelling & my feet swell pretty bad. Plus I have heel spurs & plantar fasciitis on both feet. These are the only shoes than doesn’t hurt my feet. When I went to my podiatrist 3 months ago, he recommended these & to keep wearing them. That the cork helps your feet conform to them. So, I’m on my third pair & fixing to order two more. They look proper with my longer dresses & support hoses. 🩷
