My Arizonas had years of wear - great to/from the beach, sometimes I got the cork footbed wet; never full on dunked but not fully drying my feet before putting em back on. They held up admirably, the cork starting coming away after about 8 years of solid wear.

I tend to wear the EVAs at the beach and the Arizonas pretty much everywhere else. I don’t like to have to think too much about what I’m wearing on my feet when I’m around the water. I’m getting more forgetful in my old age.

I have really mistreated my Arizonas when it comes to not getting them wet. They probably deteriorated faster because I got them wet. But overall, they held up and I wouldn’t lose sleep over getting them a little wet. Just don’t submerge them in water.

Anyone know of a place in the UK that will re-sole Birks?

I can confirm usefulness of Arizona for beach access with this live update shot from the shore of Largo Maggiore. For beach I use these camo ones in fake leather..

Why did you post a blank picture?

Just got these, called Arizona crosstown. Little more outdoor-ish than the usual Arizonas.

@endo Those look great for trails!

Out with the old and in with the new! Although the old ones will still be used for pre/post work commutes

Arizonas are the best.
