      Birks must be incredibly comfortable for they are waaayy up  in the running for the ugliest shoes ever built.  😉
      Like the height of fashion from the time of the Black Death.
      Is ugliness part of the appeal?
      That's right I'm looking at you, Uggs.
      And you, Christie soles.
      Perhaps I should post to Unpopular Opinions. 😃

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

              Hahaha well I do also own UGGs, @steelworker. Super comfy and SUPER ugly. I do feel like Birks can be styled well even though they're an eyesore of a shoe. @Snowy! You're living the good life man. You mostly wear Bostons or Arizonas? @Giles – Realtree™️ Crocs are a thing of beauty tho.

                I’m guilty of owning a pair. But the first time I saw Birkenstocks was when @UnTucked posted a pic & thought they looked like loaves of bread on his feet  😃

                    I've worn shoes 6x since March 13, 2020. Birkies are life these days  :D.

                    I wore my Birkies to work once to be cheeky, and nobody complained… now here I am, 17 months later and I've MAYBE worn real shoes or boots to work 10x since then.

                      Birkenstock Arizona over the last few years. I do like the Bostons in the colder months but haven't had a pair for a few years..might be time again this year…

                          Life is easy and slow, and I'm saving so much money on clothes living in a place that's way too hot to wear the things I like and want, lol!

                            Just wanna highlight these SICK socks along with the first time I've ever done a cuff other than a single or double. Only 4-5 years late to trying out this cuff…

                                      I saw that, @neph93! So damn crazy. Sorta worried where the brand is gonna go now. I hope that quality doesn't dip/construction is cheapened

                                          Same. Is it bad that I feel relieved that I snagged another pair of Birks before they go to shit?  😃
