Chic ways to wear Birkenstocks

My birko-flor mayaris (purchased last summer) are starting to crack a little bit on the edge of the cork foot bed, where the strap going over the big toe connects to the cork. :( Is it normal for these to only last 1 year? Or maybe this is the product of wearing them in extreme heat (I noticed this after wearing them in 100 degree weather)?

You can buy cork sealant and put it on them before you wear them. I'm not sure it would help now?
 
Try to search for "Flower Crush". I am not quite sure but they look like the Mocha one. I have a pair of Flower Crush Gizehs in Beige and there is also Taupe available.

They are arizona soft foodbed flower crush in mocha suede. I got them on zappos.

Thank you both :smile1:
I've already found them on Amazon and ordered the Taupe ones
I really like them , can't wait to get them :graucho:
 
Normally most fashion goods are cheaper and are available in a larger variety in the US. But regarding Birkenstock I am really happy to live in Germany. :p

Today I bought a pair of black leather Arizonas in a local Birkenstock store. This is my fourth pair, I have another pair of Arizonas and two Gizehs.
Maybe I need to post a photo of my family when I have time. I am really enjoying looking at yours! Beautiful feet in beautiful shoes. :smile1:

:yes: we are at the source :greengrin: this time
And ... yes , you really need to take a pic of your Birki family , Emma !
Such fun to share this passion

I'm wearing these today

Has anybody purchased a pair of the exquisite gizeh from j crew before? The leather on the cork feels so thin.. And the whole shoe feels so light compared to my soft bed arizona.. I'm beginning to wonder if it's the eva material

I haven't seen the J Crew version, but you would know if it was eva. I have a pair of eva madrid, and they are more like flip flops - waterproof plastic.

Oh, interesting (and disappointing). Is the footbed lighter weight and cheaper on the birko-flors? it's annoying because most Mayari options are Birko Flor. I just bought the Arizona soft footbed with nubuck straps so I'll have to compare them.
 
AAAARRRRRGH. You guys. Nordie's has snake print Arizonas. DYING right now. They have both colors in stock at my local store so I think I'm going to have to swing by. These could potentially look iffy depending on how metallic they are. They also have black soft footbed Arizonas with gold buckles. :loveeyes: This is really getting out of hand.
