I have been wearing Birkenstock Arizonas for over 40 years, and I buy a pair about once a year. I am a quite heavy and large male, and these sandals are the only footwear that guarantees I will have no foot pain of any kind.I wear these exclusively around the house, and for casual non strenuous outdoor activity.
I preferred the oiled leather styles with a conventional footbed over the other models Birkenstock offers, although my preference may just be my age and force of habit.
The Arizona style is simple, comfortable, and sturdy.It looks great on men and women.
So, if you have never worn Birkenstocks, you should give them a try. They are one of the largest selling footwear brands in the world.
