[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have the wrong size, or the wrong cut for you. I have never had to break Birks in at all. [/quote]Even the company acknowledges that there’s an adjustment period. Doesn’t mean it’s the wrong size or cut. https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2017/9/1/16145270/birkenstocks-breaking-in-pain

Whether or not the breaking-in period is worth it is entirely subjective. Mine took about a month.[/quote]

There’s an adjustment period but it should not be painful.

I got a pair of Arizonas a few years ago that took forever to break in and never felt that comfortable. Turns out they were a size big (Birks run large, especially if you have “skinny” feet.

Got a pair a few weeks ago and the break in period lasted a few wears and wasn’t painful. Just mildly awkward as the footbed molded to my feet.

Same kind of leather for both. Different shoes though— went with one with an ankle strap and thinner straps this time and I like them a lot more.

If your shoes are killing you, they are not the right shoes for you.[/quote]

Longtime Birks wearer—they are all I wear in the warm months, including on long walks—and I agree with all of this. I wear a 36 narrow, which seems tiny, but I’ve learned over the years that only this size fits me comfortably. I’m a recent convert to the soft footbed, as well. And certain styles just aren’t comfortable for me, e.g. Mayari; I’ve bought and returned a few pairs over the years. Arizonas are my standbys. I also never wear them loose; the whole benefit of the shoe is having it conform to your foot. [/quote]
