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

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

@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?

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]

@henry_david takes the cake! Great collection mate!!

@henry_david:

You need them all dude…

Great topic! I got these in 1999 and they are pretty much all I wear when the weather gets warm enough to not wear socks and I don’t have to have my work boots on. I can’t remember how many times they have been re soled. The only thing original is the leather. Probably cheaper to buy a new pair every couple years, but the sentimental value is worth more to me.

[henry_david]

Those are epic, @deanclean 

[deanclean]

Thanks @henry_david I loved the photo you posted in the overalls section in the white Boston’s so much I got a pair for myself. So glad I did. I love em. Very comfortable. Thanks for the inspiration!

I always enjoy a thread I cannot contribute to. Means I can sit back and be a passive reader regarding something I know nothing about [emoji1]

Great isn't it 

[henry_david]

Dude @deanclean!!! Aren't they sick?! Glad you like them. I happen to appreciate how hard wearing the sole is on those compared to the classic EVA sole. And the pebble leather is super nice, too. They look great on you.
