[quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier about preferring soft footbeds after decades of wearing Birks. But I will say that I’ve had a pair of non-soft for maybe four years that are incredibly comfortable. I think fit and finding the right style are most important.

With fit, that means making sure you figure out your size (for me that’s a 36, not a 37, even though in US sizes I’m a 6 or 6.5) and getting “medium/narrow” if you have narrow feet (like I do). This limits the styles that will be available—for example, they don’t make Gizehs in narrow anymore, and the one pair I bought in regular just isn’t as comfortable—but if you want real comfort, that’s what you need to do.

With style, I have found that I really prefer Arizonas, so I have multiple pairs in that style and order them knowing they will be comfortable. Like I said, Gizehs aren’t comfortable for me in regular width, and I find the toe cage in Mayaris uncomfortable. I also agree that leather is more comfortable than synthetic.

I wear my five pairs of Arizonas pretty much non-stop from April through September. Figuring out the fit/style equation has made my spring/summer shoe situation so much easier.[/quote]
