I visited the Birkenstock store from NJ to get my correct fitting and purchase my first pair of Birkenstock sandals. The employees were very nice and exceptional. They helped me find my size and bring me the sandals I wanted. The store was a bit crowded and when I was directed upstairs to ask for the color sandals I wanted, the lighting gets a bit darker. I requested my color, first one came without the tags on, I asked why and they said it could possibly be that it was a “display” so I asked for another pair. The 2nd pair, the leather color was smeared all over the paper and the color was faded on the sandal, so I went with the first pair. When I got home, I compared the sandals, the left one was significantly darker and rougher. I checked, the suede was no good, seems like it either maybe got wet, not preserved correctly, or tried on too many times. I emailed their customer service who told me to go back to the store but I live far. You’re better off just going to a local Nordstrom or Bloomingdale’s.
