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 the shower. Never mind the Pink.o_O..it was on sale and only weighs 82 grams. It does come in lots of colors and normal price inthe US average is $40.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
I suggest hiking long distances with a pack at home before committing to sandals as your primary Camino footwear.
I agree. I have my gtx trailrunners for that used on the Frances this past april .....definately not pink;):p. My post is meant primarily for shower/post walking sandal. I will edit the title to convey this thank you for pointing that out

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I could not wear sandals with a post between my toes. They would drive me nuts. But I wore Birkenstock plastic sandals (black, Madrid model name) for evening and town wear on the VdlP last fall. Since, I have worn them for my house slippers and for various other purposes. I expect to take them with me on my next camino. For weight, comfort and durability they are perfect for me.

They have these as well Birkenstock Arizona EVA model
Update edit: $40 USD. Same as the other one

Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Definitely not pink, but oh so comfy and great for showers and end of day. Birkenstock arch support with the ability to get wet and dry quickly.

Only question is, should I wear them with socks?

I have the Arizona model, they are slides. I agree they are a good shower choice. But they are a lot more expensive than simple flip-flops.

If the Birks will serve as your second pair of footwear, and you only have two pairs total, then the case on behalf of the Birks is better. But, if you are going to have your daytime footwear, some sort of lighter footwear for evening and rest day use, AND shower shoes, then the Birks are excessive, at least IMHO.

Hope this helps.

Yes by all means wear with sock during the colder camino months

Love your pink sandals. Will have to see if I can get them in New Zealand. No chance of leaving them behind in the Albergue.
They come in a few other colors too including yellow and coral. Other colors were not available and were sold out the pink was all they had left lol . A great pair of slipper my feet definately feel better .
