Treating myself to new ones for summer.

Which style is the nicest/most comfortable?

Would like a bit of style too.

Arizona

Mayari are my favourite

Big buckle Madrids

UntamedWisteria · 28/03/2021 19:19

I like the look of them, but wondered if they'd be comfortable?

Mayari I mean

I had a pair of Madrid's and I loved them. They were like gloves on my feet and I wore them until they eventually fell apart. I am definitely buying a new pair for this summer

Arizona.

I'm a big fan of Madrids. I had a pair of Gizeh and they were the most uncomfortable sandals I've ever worn. Madrids I wear from April - October every year.

ExponentiallyDepleted · 28/03/2021 19:32

I suppose with Mayari it depends how you find toe posts, I have big gaps between my big and next toes so they're good for me.

I can't wear Madrid as they don't strap snugly to my foot, I need a strap high over the instep. I think they look nice though.

ExponentiallyDepleted · 28/03/2021 19:33

I find Gizeh extremely comfortable but not so keen on the look of them. I also wear Arizonas.

ArtfulScreamer · 28/03/2021 19:45

I have Mayari and Arizona. Mayari are the dress up pair Arizona my day pair.

KirstenBlest · 28/03/2021 20:11

The strappy ones are prettier but I like the arizonas because I think they're the classic Birkenstocks.
I have Madrid ones and Arizona ones, both ancient.

I fancy getting the clog-style ones

DustySpringboard · 28/03/2021 20:36

I have bronze arizona’s (which need replacing), traditional but oh so comfy

I was intending to replace like for like but have just spied these which have taken my fancy. Also rather tempted by the Arizona platforms too

TooMinty · 28/03/2021 20:38

I have Madrid big buckles that I bought last year after posting a very similar thread to this 😊

I love them, can't wait until it is warm enough to wear them this year!

ElspethFlashman · 28/03/2021 20:41

Floridas.

3 straps so a bit more elegant than the Arizonas. Also good for bunions as the gaps are in the right place! Blush

I have the Mayaris and am happy to report they don't hurt as the leather toe strap sits slightly above the soft part in between your toes so doesn't touch it and can't rub.

ThePawtriarchy · 28/03/2021 20:43

The Big Buckle’s hurt my feet as the metal presses into my foot when I flex it.

I’ve got the Boston clogs and I love them so much.

Also Arizonas. They’re not boring, they’re classic.

ILikeTheWineNotTheLabel · 28/03/2021 23:31

Arizonas

Blondiney · 28/03/2021 23:35

Arizona are the 'coolest' in that they're effortless looking classics.

Tempted by the Mayaris now I know the toepost doesn't rub.

AnyFucker · 28/03/2021 23:36

Mayari

GCAcademic · 28/03/2021 23:38

Mayari. I live in them in the summer, have them in three colours.

CaraherEIL · 29/03/2021 00:33

Arizona

ZaraW · 29/03/2021 08:10

Mayari are the only ones I wear. I'm on my fourth pair.

GinWithOlivesIn · 29/03/2021 17:02

I think Mayari are the nicest looking ones and I find them very comfortable.
