BIRKENSTOCK-Last for decades, hidden… but shown here on IH.
-
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.

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?

@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

How does everyone size their Arizona's? I'm a 10 in my Wesco Mr Lou's but realistically should be a 10.5. In viberg I take a 10. In red wing and Alden Indy the same thing. In standard American athletic shoes like Nike running shoes I take an 11. In converse and vans I wear 10.5
I am 90% leaning towards the 10-10.5 option.

@Johnnyutah247
I am between a 10.5 and 11 in nike depending on the shoe and 10.5 in vans and chucks and am 43 in birks. When you get them with your heel in the heel cup your toes shouldn't touch the raised lip. Hope this helps. -
@Johnnyutah247 best way is to go by your mondo point, Birkenstock is very accurate to that.

My faded purple, London’s on holiday in France. Also pictured 25oz 555s. Hard work in 30c!

I’m an 11.25 Brannock and I wear size 44 Arizonas. I wear 45 in the Bostons which I mostly wear in the winter with socks.
-
@Johnnyutah247 I’m at 10 in sneakers. I take a 9m/43 standard width in Arizonas.
I like my foot to fit snugly into the footbed and the leather vamp to be tight. The leather starts snug but stretches a lot, so I usually wind up tightening the strap after the first couple of weeks.
-
Finally upgraded after years in these! These Boston‘s are so good.

Is it me or have others found that since they got bought up by LVMH that they don’t hold up as long as they used to? The leather seems thinner and the soles have been changed to a new material that wears out really quickly.! seems like that happens to every good product that gets bought up by a bigger company

@jimcord can't say anything about the new ones but just cleaned and conditioned my trusty birkenstock bolds. Would never give them up, they are my house slippers for a couple years now and probably my most worn pair of footwear. Was considering a pair of Zerrows sabots as a replacement but decides these have so much life left in them there's no way I need another house slipper in rotation.
-
@FlavourFade I don‘t want to give mine up either since I also use them as my house shoes too, but I‘ve noticed over the years that my feet got slighlty larger (apparently this is normal) and the birks I had are too narrow now. Sized up to my normal size on the new ones. Planning on keeping these long term.
