I Walked 22,000 Steps in My Birkenstock Sandals

I have a deep fondness for Las Vegas. Each opportunity to visit, I relish slipping on comfortable walking shoes and meandering down the iconic Las Vegas Strip, fully immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of the city. Whether it’s day or night, with friends or solo, I prefer to escape the confines of windowless casinos and enjoy the fresh air, witnessing all the outdoor excitement. Thus, I make it a point to walk as much as I can, even if that means I should ideally opt for a taxi or rideshare.

Recently, during a work trip, I found myself with several free hours. I began my journey from the Fountainbleu, located at the northern end of the strip, and decided to walk as far south as my feet would carry me. Ultimately, I planned to take an Uber back once I reached my limit, all while sporting my Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle sandals.

The walk was delightful—punctuated by drinks and a few wins at video poker during breaks. I felt invigorated throughout the journey, and the comfort of my footwear allowed me to continue all the way to the southern end of the strip and back. My total step count reached over 22,000 by the end of the day.

This solo travel experience is one I’ll always treasure, particularly knowing it was made possible by a brand of shoes I’ve cherished for years—though in a more fashionable style.

True to its name, the Arizona Big Buckle features prominent buckles on both straps, rendered in a shiny gold finish, offering a striking appearance compared to standard Arizona sandals.

The patent leather straps are not only stylish but also durable, presenting a high-shine aesthetic that distinguishes them from the classic suede models of my youth. The Ecru color is a versatile whitish tone that pairs well with virtually any outfit.

These Arizona sandals showcase Birkenstock’s renowned leather-lined, contoured cork footbed, which adapts to the shape of your foot over time—perfect for a day of walking, cocktail in hand. I found that it truly cushions the foot in a custom fit.

Additionally, the sandals are easy to slip on and off, making them ideal for travel. You can slide them off quickly during TSA security checks or in your airplane seat without hassle. While the buckles can be adjusted for a firmer fit, they come ready to wear, merging convenience with style. These Arizona sandals have accompanied me on my travels around the globe—from Japan to France and throughout Las Vegas.
