    Oh, thank you for clarifying. That makes total sense now.👍

    Mourned for jacket

    There was a bit of confusion here. My question about Birkenstocks had to do with EVA sandals only. EVA is a soft and plasticky material, which tends to stretch over time, very light-weight, but not distance walking sandals. I have had a hard time finding any in the fit and colour that I want. I...

    The Birkenstock sandals in EVA closed cell foam (feels like soft plastic) aren't for walking, but for after walking - you can wear them in the shower, in the albergue, to go out to eat and some gentle sightseeing, they are non slip, non stink and very lightweight, which is why people like them...

    Try a brand called Keen. Mine crossed the Pyrenees when they were two years old, and that was four years ago. I still wear them most days although they are now showing some wear and tear. Most comfortable sandals I have ever owned.

    Thank you so much for the generous offer. I have found the sandals that I want on an outdoor store website and put in an order. Almost at once, I received a reply that my order had been processed, and a little while ago another email said that the sandals had been shipped. If they arrive exactly...

    Someone here connected me with my last pair of Mackenzies that way. I posted here that I was looking for them. She saw a pair in the EU, I sent her the money, and she mailed them to me in the states. It was magic. Where else can you turn to relative strangers to buy shoes?

    Mourned for jacket

    Your post reminded me of how much I loved the EVA Birkenstocks I had several years ago, so I just went online and found them at a store near me. They have the black EVA in both the Arizona and the Gizeh. If you message me with the model and size you want and you're willing to send me your...

    Hi Albertagirl, I too love my Birkenstock EVA sandals. They have been on many walks with me. I recently replaced mine, and found them at Broadway Shoe Salon (2809 W Broadway, Vancouver BC V6K 2G6, Phone: +1 604 731 1410, no web site). Good store, friendly staff, specialize in Birkenstock and a...

    Mourned for jacket

    Yes! And I had a small tantrum when I couldn't find a nice metallic grey pair as my recent ones showed signs of disintegrating. I wear them all the time at home as well so they are a must, but suddenly the Madrid model (one strap) were hard to find and had been reduced to only black or white - I...

    Albertagirl, try Sole to Soul Footwear, not black but they have navy and some other standard colours. Online or stores in Calgary that will order in for you

    Mourned for jacket

    @davebugg I understand the footwear temper tantrum a little, having been in the throes of my own today, as I have faced the challenge of replacing my sandals: not even trail walking sandals, but town sandals. I prefer boots to walk in, so I enjoy changing to my lightweight, comfortable...

    Mourned for jacket

    I spent most of the day today wandering around Calgary trying to find a pair of lightweight EVA Birkenstock sandals to replace those which I have worn in the evenings and in town days on my last several caminos. They are falling apart. Finally, I went to the Birkenstock website and discovered...

    Great lightweight slide sandals for albergues at Dollar Tree

    When I walked the Camino in 2017 I took a pair of flip flops that i bought at Old Navy $1.50. Light weight. Useful for "evening wear" as well as in the albergue. HIGHLY recommend them.

    I could probably get a few toes in that shoe at 43!!! Que lastima

    Great lightweight slide sandals for albergues at Dollar Tree

    I picked up a pair similar and almost air like weight wise and use them for shower, nighttime bathroom trips and to rest and air my feet end of day. But I do use a also very lightweight Sketchers sandals with nice cushy soles for walking (weather and path condition dependent) in the afternoon.

    Great lightweight slide sandals for albergues at Dollar Tree

    They look great for the low weight. I have looked at Dollar General sandals often over the last few years, but the cheapie slides have always been very heavy plastic. I will check out Dollar Tree.🙂

    Great lightweight slide sandals for albergues at Dollar Tree

    I found some great, super lightweight slides perfect for albergues at the Dollar Tree Store today! The pair that I bought in women's size large (40-41) only weighs 4.7 ounces/131 grams! As a comparison, I have some knockoff Birkenstock EVA sandals which weigh 7.5 ounces/212 grams for the pair...

    Illness, injury, recovery and hopes for the Camino Frances this Spring/Summer

    ...cold here... too cold to leave the house in flip flops. 😊 I thought I’d try them since I like their flip flops so much. I also have EVA Birkenstocks, Gizeh style, but I think the Oofos are more comfortable. I like the way the Birkenstocks look though, so I do wear them often. They’re easy...

    Illness, injury, recovery and hopes for the Camino Frances this Spring/Summer

    Just one suggestion for you. Do not carry your wallet in your backpack (or any other items such as passport), you will take it off several times a day and it takes but one opportunist to ruin your experience.

    Illness, injury, recovery and hopes for the Camino Frances this Spring/Summer

    I have a young friend with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and she was incredibly happy to get a diagnosis after years of not understanding what was going on with her body. She’s in her mid 20’s, and it’s been quite a ride for her. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, and she is so young to...
