Do Birkenstock Madrids become more comfy?

[SeasonsBleatings]

They seem very popular on here but I've tried them and they are horrendous to walk in- the back keeps flipping up and down. Is there a technique I'm missing?

I can't walk in them and only ever buy the ones with 2 straps now

Thanks, I was wondering if I just need to persevere but think I'll go for Arizona's instead.

Me too. I only ever buy Arizonas.

I love mine. I've never found them particularly hard to walk in, they probably do get a bit more moulded to your foot. So that will help. Wear them with socks in the house maybe?

But I do wonder what you mean about flopping. They are like flip flops I suppose and are meant to be like this I think? Although not 100% what you mean. Or if I'm describing it right!

Can I jump on OP's post and ask the same about the Mayari? Does the toe bit get annoying or are they comfortable?

I love my mayari and prefer them to my arizonas, I don't notice the toe post at all.

These cracked my heels from the slap slap slapping.

I think I'm decided on Arizonas! Just need to decide - red or black...
