BIRKENSTOCK-Last for decades, hidden… but shown here on IH.

@steelworker:

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.

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 – Realtree️ 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'm just minding my own business in the outback, riding kangaroos and whatnot…. and here you go!

I'll make sure I post pics and tag you when I get my Birkenstocks rebuilt with Vibram christy wedge soles!

(Seriously, that's my plan…..)

@Snowy:

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…

Hahaha it took a tag in the birks section to @UnTucked you out of the kangaroo pouch

How’s it going dude?

Hey @steelworker it’s your dream build 

[UnTucked]

All is well here in the outback.

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!

[henry_david]

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…

[henry_david]

Okay, okay … Last one for a while.

Birkenstock just sold 60-70% of their shares for 4.7 billion USD  :o

[henry_david]

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

[neph93]

@henry_david always a danger… I can see them going the way of Dr. Martens.

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

You just justified my purchase of some white ones like yours!!

YESSSS. Join the cult of the white Bostons! The non-slip sole is pretty rad, too. I was used to the trad sole and liked it a lot, but these are even better. Plz post some shots when you get them in, @Appfaff!!!

brand-new 'hailstorm' 

my first pair of Bostons after more than 20 yrs, usually only wear Madrids in summer, but these are really nice to wear at home, thanks everybody in this thread for suggesting

[henry_david]

@endo – EPIC. Those look super comfy.

thanks, @henry_david , comfy and beautiful (at least IMO)
