Spring is officially here, which means stowing away the chunky knit sweaters and breaking out the sun dresses. The warm weather also means hitting the pavement in my main mode of transportation in the city: walking. To keep my feet comfortable while I get my steps in, I rely on my Birkenstock Arizona Birko-Flor sandals.

I purchased these black leather Birkenstocks during the summer of 2020, and I still reach for them on the first warm day of the year. Almost all shoes and sandals either hurt my feet or give me blisters, but wearing sneakers on scorching hot days doesn't appeal to me. Luckily, these sandals keep my feet feeling cushioned with their soft footbeds that are contoured to the arch of the feet.

The straps aren't just a decoration, either—you can adjust them to fit your foot better, which I appreciate because I need them on the tightest setting to keep my feet snug. If you find that your feet swell a lot in the summer, you can loosen the strap with ease.

I consider myself a chameleon when it comes to fashion. My closet swings from preppy to edgy to "girly." Somehow, my Birks always complement my outfit. I even reach for them like slippers when I'm romping around my apartment in pajamas, too. Maybe these sandals are the real chameleon.
