Treating myself to new ones for summer.

Which style is the nicest/most comfortable?

Would like a bit of style too.

Hi I am planning to buy some this year, I have tried the Arizonas in the past but found them too wide for my feet! Are the Mayuris ok for narrow ish feet? What's the sizing like?

I like Mayari. I get a new pair every couple of years usually. Really comfy, dont slip off and I think they look quite nice

Mayari for me. I've got them in white and silver. I've had the silver ones for about 4 years and wear them a lot and they're still going strong.

I have a bunion and I find the placing of the straps is perfect for a) hiding it and b) not rubbing it at all.

Someone on another thread mentioned the soft footbed version which I'm now hankering after but can't justify a 3rd pair.

I've had pairs of floridas and gizehs but nothing beats madrids IMHO. They are the most comfortable, never rub even when new, and in can walk in them for miles. Have three pairs I rotate from Easter to September.

I cant wear toe posts. I find Yao the most comfortable style.

goose1964 · 29/03/2021 20:36

I usually wear Gizehs as I have fat feet and they make them look slimmer, I've always mayaris which aren't as casual.

I have Milanos in brown. I like the strap on the back round the ankle.

Arizona all the way here. I’d like to get the shearling clogs to wear around the house in winter but think that Arizona wins in the style stakes plus super comfy (my dh would beg to differ re. style but doesn’t get a say!)

av3nturin3 · 29/03/2021 21:56

I wear Gizeh as there aren’t any front straps to potentially chafe multiple and large bunions on wide feet, and I like the arch support of the cork bed. (My first choice for style are the three skinny front strap Birkenstocks.) If my orthopedic doctor weren’t so emphatic about my wearing closed toe/ lace up/ high ankle support shoes, I’d happily wear Gizeh outside the house.

Florida soft footbed

Sooooo comfy
