To me

But, can't wear sandles everywhere.. so, how do I find other pairs of shoes that conform to my foot shape?

I always end up getting knee pain eventually on my left leg with normal shoes

I had some grandson of the Birkenstock family as a classmate. He was a massive, spoiled dickweed. Never bought a single pair.

Everything I read about the clan was not very likeable to say the least, but I confess that I love the shoes. I'm weak.
Yeah I tried them at a friends place once, comfortable as fuck. Can't blame people lol.
Also there were a lot of spoiled dickweeds in my school back then, so maybe he was just trying to adapt.

The "regular" Ultraboosts (1.0-4.0) look wayyy better, but the Ultraboost 19 (the pair you got) have 20% more boost cushioning....a lot of people say they are the most comfortable UB.
Im excited lol

Also went to the Birkenstock website, but they had nothing in my size

If you like Birkenstocks, you might enjoy other barefoot / minimalist shoes. Some brands are Xero shoes, Vivobarefoot, Vibram FiveFingers, Lems, OluKai, Altra, or Feelmax.

Most of these look like hiking/ walking shoes, which is fine, but if you want something comfy that's less conspicuously outdoorsy, have a look at Allbirds.

I got a pair of Nike Epic Reacts a month or so ago and I think I prefer them to Boost

Epic React is one the board for comfy, and Yeezy 350s and 700s too. But they are too "limited/special" for me to get too comfy in them lol.

My Xero shoes - Hana model look a lot like the Allbirds. They're soo comfy, probably my favorite shoes to wear until winter. Xero shoes and Vivobarefoot have a variety of styles. I have Vivobarefoot dress shoes - Jing Jing (female dress shoe). Xero shoes just came out with a male dress shoe model - Alston. What I find comfortable about this style of shoes is that they have a zero drop heel and almost no padding in the sole.

don't wear birks, that's one step away from crocs, and that's one step away from giving up on life.
