I usually go for Gizeh but which style do you prefer and why? Looking for variation I suppose as I tend to live in them in the summer...

Arizonas. Can't beat a classic.

I need a back. Milano

CoolShoeshine · 21/05/2019 15:41

Mayari definitely

i have these Lana Birkenstocks and they are so comfy and look really good with dresses. I also have a pair of Madrid ones that are 6 years old and still going strong.

GodDammitAmy · 21/05/2019 16:29

Madrid here but I quite like the look of Mayari.

IDrinkAndISewThings · 21/05/2019 16:39

I love the look of the Lana but don't know if I'd get on with the narrow footbed? I just bought my very first pair last month (Milano's, I'm another one who needs a back strap) and I LOVE them! I bought them because I'm suffering from plantar fasciitis just now and they have saved my poor aching feet (and essentially ruined other shoes for me, nothing is as comfy as my Birks!)

I've just bought these - wearing them for the first time today Smile

I can't remember what they were called, but they're like a backed version of the Mayari. The toe strap is much more comfortable than the rigid post in the Gizeh.

Sydney. A bit like Arizona but with narrower straps so they keep your cooler. Not as flappy as Madrid so you can walk faster and for longer.
I've had 3 pairs and wear them all summer long.

Anyone got the Bali? I've worn Mayari for years but thinking of branching out.

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 21/05/2019 22:15

I ordered a pair but family consensus was send them back. They felt a bit wierd on tbh. Back to the Mayaris.... ordered these new colour off eBay and love them: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stock-Women-Men-Double-Strap-Sandals-Regular-Fit-Summer-Beach-Sandals-flip-flop-/293057510182?varId=591881365348&txnId=1679869074019 also have silver and white Mayaris

Big buckle Madrid ❤️

devilinme · 21/05/2019 23:09

Big buckle Arizona . I have just acquired a pair and they are the bomb

ImNotReallyAWaitress · 22/05/2019 00:17

I switch between gizeh and mayari but mostly gizeh.

Have a couple of pairs of Madrid but I find my legs get sore if I wear them to walk any sort of distance 😞

goose1964 · 22/05/2019 08:39

I'd say any except Madrid they flop up and down when you walk. Pity because I had a lovely patent red pair, gave them to my flipflop wearing daughter
