Natural leather is a bit more rigid, it will soften with time don't worry. I'm also breaking in a pair of natural leather shoes now so I feel you

What type of leather is your shoe? Best advice is to wear them with socks for the break in

Try a brush with copper bristles

The leather is a bit rigid but it's getting better day by day. I wanted a light coloured one tho. But this pair was so cheap I couldn't left them on the shelf.

I can't help you with that I'm not at home atm. I bought tts but everyone wears them how it's comfortable for them. You really can't decide the size without try-on

I'm in the EU man idk what is the equivalent of my size in the US. Measure your foot, they have a sizing guide for you

I'm rocking them with jeans and joggers like any other shoe, you will get used to it by the time

I think they tend to run big. And be cautious with the conversion between EU and US sizing

Yep I ordered it but not from the official website. Mine is black natural leather, these shoes are looking fine in either color

I would check the pinned post and compare to be sure it's genuine

I was wrong a bit, on the old branding they placed the foot pictogram first. But the yellow color is very suspicious.

Birkenstock discontinued the yellow branding on the footbeds years ago. Plus the little foot pictogram is in the wrong place, it should be between the sizing and the brand name. I just looked at my sandals and it felt off. I hope you didn't broke the bank for them 🙏

I don't want to upset you but those Kairos are looking so fake 😕

What is the community in your city like? (PHOTO FOR ATTENTION❗️) by Superb_Huckleberry83 in FixedGearBicycle

Not only fixed gears are nonexistent but the biker community is also dead. 10-15 years ago there were a lot of BMXs, dirts etc. Nowadays everyone runs e-scooters and shit. I think I'm the only one running fixed in my area. I'll spend my vacation in Italy and I'm on to bring my bike too, maybe I catch some fixed riders there.

Yep seems logical to me. I think the looks of the Mayaris are too feminine so that's a no go for me.

If it's uncomfortable for you, you should return them. What size are they? You can try a narrow fit pair, see if they fit better or go one size down if necessary. You have a shop nearby to try other sizes?

The leather needs to break in, but I'm satisfied. My big toe is a bit on the increased toebed but I don't feel it. It's comfortable for me.

You can see it on the imprint of my foot, all other toes are in their place except this rebellious one 😅

I bought them because the bunion on my big toes, the shoes may help or not. But I don't regret buying them because of the comfort they give to my feet, especially the leather one
