    End of the day sandals

    Interesting. I have a pair of the EVA Birkenstocks, with the toe post and while I love them I do not find they have very good cushioning and they don't pack well for traveling, taking up a lot of volume. Mine are a few years old now, perhaps the newer ones have more cushioning?

    End of the day sandals

    I've had a pair of the EVA Birkenstocks for about 6 months now and love them! Great with socks or without. I'm taking mine on the Camino Ingles in May!

    End of the day sandals

    I have the one-strap Madrid version of the Birkenstock EVA sandals/slides. I wear them all the time at home, take them everywhere and use them as evening wear on the camino. Better than toe post sandals, because I can open the strap to allow for socks, easily slip them on to go to the loo in the...

    Sandals.

    I carried Birkenstock EVA sandals. Great for cruising around towns and for the albergue showers. My boots were comfy, so I didn’t walk in them, but a Korean couple we walked with did the entire Frances in them (with socks). Plus they are inexpensive and very lightweight.

    Shower shoes?

    I took a pair of the plastic Birkenstocks. They worked great in the shower and for after walking foot wear. Can be worn with or without socks. Very light weight. https://www.birkenstock.com/us/arizona-eva/arizona-eva-eva-0-eva-u.html?dwvar_arizona-eva-eva-0-eva-u_color=3716

    Camino end of day/shower sandals —-good potential

    I took the Birkenstock Gizeh Eva in black for my Camino Frances last year. Very light and wore them In the shower when I felt the need to. I don’t like the crocs some people wear.

    Camino end of day/shower sandals —-good potential

    Wanted to share this, I have no commercial affiliation. These are the Berkenstock Gizeh Eva. I was diagnosed with a really bad heelspur and needed some in house slippers. After some research I found this so far it feels great. Lightweight enough for your pack on the camino and can be worn in...

    Flip flops in the shower

    Thank you for this good tip-I ran to the shoe shop and bought the last pair! 20 g lighter than my old flip-flops, and much nicer:-))

    Flip flops in the shower

    Given the recommendations in this thread I'm considering purchasing a pair of these Birkenstock Arizona or maybe Gizeh EVAs, in preference to the very lightweight flip flops that I was going to take. As keeping the weight down is of paramount importance I'd like to know how much a pair of these...

    Flip flops in the shower

    I second the Birkenstock EVAs, not just to avoid getting wet or dirty feet from albergue or bathroom floors, but to prevent slipping on the tiles. In some hostals and casas the shower is over the bathtub, and there isn't always a non-slip mat, so I go in with my Birkies on instead. They are...

    Flip flops in the shower

    I feel more secure with flip flops in a shower than barefoot. I’ll be going the Birkenstock EVA route next time. They are comfortable and allow the wearing of socks on colder days. They are lighter than my Croc flip flops.

    Flip flops in the shower

    I like the look of Birkenstocks, and have purchased them a few times, but they absolutely hurt my feet. I am rather flatfooted and they have way too much arch support and the pre-formed hard insole does not work for the shape of my foot. Unfortunately they are not for everyone.

    Flip flops in the shower

    I second the EVA Birkenstock recommendation. I recently obtained a pair and find them very comfortable. Also, if you do NOT wear something like a flip flop or shower slide in a communal shower, you WILL get a fungal infection. While easily treated, it is easier to avoid contracting in the...

    Flip flops in the shower

    Better than flip flops in a shower room are these oh-so-stylish EVA Birkenstocks! Light as a feather, can attach them to your bag, go from shower to dinne seamlessly, and you can even walk in them drying the day (with or without socks ) as they do have the famous Birkenstock support.

    After hike shoes/sandals?

    We wore EVA foam birkenstocks. Very light and pack flat with good support. Not great for Basque restaurants but function over style....

    Shower footwear

    I take very lightweight and comfortable Birkenstock EVA sandals to walk around indoors, like going to the toilet and showers, not just because of cleanliness issues, but because walking on hard floors is painful after a long walk, and more importantly because wet floors can get very slippy! The...

    shower/evening foot wear

    Birkenstock Madrid EVA sandals. They are very light, come in many colors and have good arch support.

    What is your 2nd footwear item?

    I virtually live in Birkenstock Arizona sandals, so was delighted to find the EVA version weigh half as much. They'll probably not last a lifetime, but they a are my second-pair-of-choice for my second Camino Frances in October this year.
