I need to tell you about my new Birkenstocks!!

Been looking online for ages, haven't had a pair for ages other than the black madrids I bought a couple of years ago that are barely possible to walk in without one flying off.

Got 2 pairs intending to send one back. But they're both perfect!

Stone grey soft footbed suede arizonas. More comfortable than any birkenstock I've ever tried. Bit scruffy though but nice worn in look.

Pearl white Sydney's. So much prettier than the arizonas and so they can be my 'fancy' pair.

So happy. Husband no so much due to current family budget restrictions...😀

Those grey ones are properly lovely 🥰
I've never had a pair of Birkenstocks, but I'm getting increasingly tempted...

Keep the pearl ones I've never regretted my glam birks they finish any outfit and can be worn anywhere imo

Runningdownthehill · 10/07/2022 09:35

They look very similar so just pick one!

Word of warning.
once you’ve had the soft foot bed you will never want to wear any other sandal again.

Hoolahulahoop · 10/07/2022 09:36

They look lovely

chalkyc2 · 10/07/2022 09:38

Yes to clarify sorry am keeping them both as they're both perfect in different ways. The soft footbed is a bloody revelation!!

I bought another pair this year after my last pair were truly worn through and after years of cheap imitations. Mine are also glam and I don’t need to change them from commute to work.

I have the grey ones in denim blue.

l haven’t found any difference between the soft footbed and the normal ones as yet. Despite owning them for 4 weeks.

Am p missing something? There the most uncomfortable ones I’ve had tbh.

I have a grey pair slightly darker than your grey pair - I was surprised to see that they go with almost everything. I have always wanted a white pair but I just don't think they suit my style.

And yes to the SFB, that's like wearing house slippers out!

Thanks a lot, op. There goes my money. 🤣

serenghetti2011 · 10/07/2022 15:04

I bought lovely Birkenstocks years ago and they just rub - I’m flat footed so they don’t feel comfy or nice and I get massive blisters shame as I really wanted to like them
hope you enjoy whichever you choose

Anytimeiseeit · 10/07/2022 15:05

I absolutely love soft footbed ones, they are just so comfy and yes much better than normal ones, which I was surprised about as I find the normal ones comfy too!

chalkyc2 · 10/07/2022 16:00

Honestly the soft footbed are a complete game changer!!
