I've tried many Birks over the years, and while I've enjoyed all styles in one way or another, I keep returning to the Arizona! I have high arches, have suffered from knee and hip pain over the years, and no other shoe has even come close to helping me reduce my pain and keep me feeling my best. I love that they can be worn with socks for the cooler months, even though I have a pair of Super Birki's for winter as well. Birkenstock Midtown is my go-to place to purchase my shoes. They offer lightning-fast shipping if I cannot make it into the store (I live about 45 minutes away). The owners are so kind and I love supporting their business!
