    Default Which Birkenstocks to get?

    I do love the metallic rose gold Arizona with black soles.

    I just got my Grenada’s re soled and love them. They are a metallic silver blue color that is no longer made.

    I can’t do any of the Mayari, or any of the styles with three straps because of a high instep. I also think that the Gizeh style looks awful on me because of my extra wide foot.

    I love the Mayari, and I have a high instep. I would go and try them on if I were you to compare the feel.

    The metallic anthracite is amazing. Check out Birk’s own website. They have some cool washed suede colors too.

    Reviews say the leather on the anthracite is stiff and hurts. I’ll try those and some others

    I have had gizeh's for years, and just bought another pair as the soles separated (but I'm keeping them as back-up!). My daughter just bought a pair of gizeh as well.

    I also like the miyari, and see lots of people wearing them. I think they also have a sort of feminine look which is nice.

    My first pair was Arizona, 20 years ago. They were super comfy, but kind of crunchy looking (which I am, but don't always want to look that way!). The gizeh and miyari I feel like you can wear with a skirt or to go out, but not the Arizona.

    The one strap slip ons don't work for me.

    I have the Gizeh (bought my first pair last year) but wish I had the Mayari. I tried them both on but the store I was at didn't have Mayaris in the color I wanted so I went with Gizeh. I may try Mayari next!

    Target has some knockoffs of the Birk styles that get really good reviews. I grabbed a couple pairs to try. My go to sandal normally is the Birk Gizeh.

    Similar to the Mayari: https://www.target.com/p/women-s-mad...36#lnk=sametab

    Thank you for posting these I picked up 3 pair for ~$45. I was able to order 11W and 12 online and they fit great. Now to purge my old shoes! They are very comfortable.
