Anyone got chunky Birkenstock's?

The ones with the big soles, will they stay on my feet? are they comfortable? I tend to stay away from mules/slides as I find them a bit annoying but I love the look of these

I have the normal Eva's - I suppose they 'stay on your feet' and fit the same ?
Go narrow fit unless you have super wide feet

thank you

I have some platform Gizehs which are very comfortable but the soles are slightly different to the ones you've posted above. Personally I wouldn't go for suede - it's likely to fade in the sun; I would choose leather or nubuck.

I have them in pale pink. They are so comfortable. Didn't have to break them in either. Size down in them

Yep, I have that black pair. They are very comfy and they do stay on my feet. They make a good noise on certain floors too.

@BobbinThreadbare123 ha, didn't think of that.

Don’t know what the fuss is with Birkenstocks, I’ve tried 2 pairs now the cork bottomed ones & rubber, they both rubbed my feet, the corked bottomed ones made my soles sore & blistery.

My Arizonas are super comfortable. I’ve got two pairs. I like those a lot @frazzledmess.

frazzledmess · 18/07/2022 16:30

@LarryBlackmonsCodpiece don't me that as I like comfort & looks. I've read it depends on the feet so 🤞🏼

just bought them, they didn't have smaller size so went for usual.

@frazzledmess - I have those in taupe and they're great. Even nicer than regular Arizonas because the white bit of the sole is flexible. I was fine in my regular size as they're the narrow width, not the regular width

frazzledmess · 18/07/2022 19:35

thanks all

I also go for my normal size in narrow Birks. Down a size in the regular fit. These squishy Arizona ones only come in narrow, IIRC.

PunishmentRoundupWithJoon · 19/07/2022 14:39

I also size down. I'm a 4 but they're always too big so always get a 3.

frazzledmess · 22/07/2022 15:36

I got them & love them.

My usual size fitted although I do find them quite wide considering they are supposed to be narrow

BobbinThreadbare123 · 22/07/2022 15:39

I find the same with the width. OK though. Enjoy squishing round in them!
