A couple of months ago, pre-heatwave, I was soo excited because I had finally tracked down a pair of Birkenstocks that were MY size. (My feet are slightly wide and size-wise, I’m in-between their kids/adults.) Ideally, kids Birks would work…if they weren’t as narrow.

I had never owned a pair of Birks – in fact, in university, I had relegated them into the ” hippie” category. However, I had a change of heart after seeing them all over the place. After all, how could soomany people be wrong?

After a few wears, I realized that what may be suitable for the masses does not necessarily mean that they’d be good for me. 🙁

Maybe it’s just the style (Arizona, 2-straps) that I was able to find, but they’re not very fashion-forward. Furthermore, they exaggerate the size of my feet by making them look as though they’re about 2 sizes bigger! And overall, the look just isn’t for me, too casual.

In terms of semi-casual Summer Footwear, I am at a bit of a loss. I refuse to wear flip flops or Crocs, just too casual. Especially when doing lots of walking, flip flops just aren’t comfortable AND they’re a definite no-no for the streets of Toronto as they’ll turn your feet black. As for Crocs, I’m just not o.k. about deviating from their intended purpose, i.e. health care professional/gardening/pool lifeguard shoe!

Currently, I am enjoying a pair of Gisele Bunchen’s Ipanema sandals that are made out of a recyclable PVC that molds to your feet. (So no, they aren’t quite flip flops although they may have similar styling elements.) If I wear out my Ipanemas, I’m sorta SOL because the selection here isn’t that great.

I’ve heard about FitFlops, but haven’t invested the time to trying them on. The newer styles are appealing, but of course, I’d be surprised if I can find them here.

So Smart Canuckers, what shoes do you turn to in the Summertime?
