      My wife wears Birkenstock sandals as house shoes. Probably not warm enough in your environment though, Reuben

        The chances of me jumping into that pool are somewhere between zero and none @deanclean. You’re all men of substance and taste so there is clearly something I’m missing here, but what it is, I do not know. No matter how I turn it in my head I can’t think of an area in life I would use these.

        I've been wearing them since I was 14 years old, and to me there's nothing more comfortable for my high arches than a pair of broken-in birkenstocks. I prefer wearing them to being barefoot, and I wear them in the house daily and out of the house almost daily. Most of my footwear comes in the form of Birkenstocks or Wesco boots, and that's what I wear whenever I'm awake.

          You know what's up, @seawolf  😃 I felt much like you did, @deanclean. And then I thought: "Dude. You're 31. When're you gonna finally choose to be comfy and not give a fuck?" So now I have three pairs of Birks for different scenarios (weather changes, dinners with friends, around the house, etc.) and wear a women's handbag as a tote cause I think it's cute.  ???

            Ha, glad everyone is allowing themselves to enjoy what they like and not concern themselves too much with looking goofy.  Great looking Birks, everyone.

              Sure is nice to not give a fuck!

                Sounds like a book.

                    I'd like to introduce @echoparkcowboy who's down in LA and makes Crocs look p good:

                      I don’t have a pair myself but if crocs are your thing go for it. If someone likes a thing they’re wearing they are probably making it look good.

                          Going on 10 years for this pair. They were navy. I’m not cool enough to buy purple. This is my 5-6 pair. I have yet to find anything more comfortable. Left my feet out the pic on purpose😄

                                    Hahahaha a multiple Birk owner like me! How do you like having the back strap on those Milanos, @seawolf?

                                      I’ve never worn a pair of Birk sandals without the back strap, so I love it!

                                            Alright, I'm a little birk-curious.  What's the sizing like on these?  Like, how do they size compared to some Chuck Taylors?

                                            Blanket-line all the things!!!
