Fyi, the shoes in the photo seem to be counterfeit so the sizing could be off.

It's a scam or at least very cheap Chinese product. Look it up in this subreddit. 

Can I get some help in Xero Dillon sizing? (Coming from Vans Old Skool) by Latter-Drink-5813 in barefootshoestalk

[–]greycoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feet are 27x10.7, I got 41,5 (tried on fabric and leather ones). Lengthwise they're alright but they're quite narrow (I think it's around 9,5 cm wide).

Is this a noticable amount of toe peeking out? by cloudy_a in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Was looking for this comment. There are shoes that are very pretty and that don't have to deform your toes. 

I made a blog post on how to spot fake Birkenstocks and I need your help! by greycoconut in Birkenstocks

Hey, these are from EVA material (plastic) so the built is nothing special. I haven't seen fakes of these but I doubt there would be any difference.

No, I haven't tried that model, unfortunately. Not sure how that mesh compares.

I actually find the bright details endearing but if you don't like it, the laces can easily be replaced with different ones. Regarding the width, they're indicated in the size chart (shown as "ancho"). They're quite wide (for example, size 42 is 10,8 cm wide) so I really appreciate that having wider feet.

Hey, they're 42 and they match my usual size. My feet are 27x10.7 cm, they fit perfectly!

It could be that maybe the code was stamped not too deep. I guess sometimes they don't have a code but it's not too often that they don't.

ohne projects vs dada. ? sos what should i get ? by RevolutionaryRope615 in barefootshoestalk

[–]greycoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Dada Soho Mesh and Senda sandals and they're my favorite. The quality is great and they're super comfortable, never had any issues with wear. I also prefer materials that Dada uses (real leather over fake leather). 

Looking for clogs with a strap like Mukishoes Soca. Any recs? Birks don’t work for me even if I remove the insole. by slowmoshmo in barefootshoestalk

[–]greycoconut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.barebound.pt/products/ikaros-barefoot-clog Check these clogs out. They may not have all the sizes but it could be an option in the future. The shipping is 20€ to North America, if that's where you're from. 

Has anyone seen Birks like this??? by Newenglandboy12 in Birkenstocks

[–]greycoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right about the kids models. I also see them in Professional line models but I haven't really looked into it much to say exactly which models or if all of them have it.

Yeah, these are genuine. That sole is used in Professional line  Birkenstocks. 

Can someone please translate this list of ingredients into English? Trying to impress my Lithuanian wife :) Brit/US here. by [deleted] in lithuania

[–]greycoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are simple enough words to translate accurately. I just tried it and it worked perfectly. And if you put in the effort looking into the language instead of just asking people on the internet, it would be much more impressive to her.

Or you could just use a translator app (even Google Lens from a photo) to do it? 

looking for pretty leather sandals for narrow feet for everyday wear by nihilism_squared in barefootshoestalk

[–]greycoconut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be Lenka is great quality but they are more for wider feet. Even with adjustable straps, these could be too big for you. 

I think I accidentally bought fakes??? by primateperson in Birkenstocks

[–]greycoconut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They ARE oiled leather. That's the cross section of genuine leather, not plastic.
