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

Anybody have experience getting their Birks rebuilt? The cork sole on my pair is really starting to come apart now after 5 or so summers.

I’ll try and add some pics after work

@Danimal506 depending on whether you just need the cork footbed or a resole as well it's typically in the $60-100 range in my experience .

I've done it a couple times on my one non-suede pair of bostons I've had for years, even though it's not that much more just to replace them, because the leather is so soft and beat up that I want to keep them alive forever

I have worn the classic B inside and outside no matter the season… but forgot to pack them for Japan… borrowed these.

Finally got around to snapping a couple pics of my Bostons and my Arizonas. The Arizonas definitely need to be repaired before next summer.

I love my Birks! I got my first pair in 2019 for summers when I lived in Chicago. I grew up in San Diego wearing Rainbow sandals. I wanted something more comfortable for walking in the city. These have five hard summers of wear on them. The Bostons I got for the winter when it’s cooler out. I got the air soles in the Bostons and really like them. I wish my Arizona’s had the air soles too. None the less, they’re so damn comfy!! I really want some Zerrows some day.

Finally caved on some bostons and I love them! Went for the oiled black leather in the end and really like the dusty looking leather. Super comfortable and convenient, plus sexy as fuck.

Not my pooch, we’re dog sitting

[Danimal506]

@jerkules Bostons and denim are such a good combo!

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 what are air soles? Don’t think I’ve ever noticed those before.

Edit: just looked em up. Interesting.

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle Initially I was worried about them being a bit of a gimmick. But they’ve held up great and are still comfy after a couple years of general, not too heavy, wear.

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 little more spring to the step I’d imagine.

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle Exactly. Just a little something something to help

Have a beach trip planned pretty soon and realized I don't really have a stylish pair of sandals or anything. Are the arizonas a good choice to wear to and around the beach? For clarity, I'm not looking for water shoes, once I get on the beach I will go most likely go barefoot. I'm interested in something I can pop on and off quick, wear to and from the beach comfortably, and be able to go into a store or restaurant after as well. Right now I only have your stereotypical athletic sandals worn in public gym showers, and a pair of Quoddy Boucher Mocs with a chromepak leather sole which are a basically my go to summer shoe when I wear shorts.

I also have a pair of crocs I wear around the house, or as water shoes when I go camping, but I prefer not to wear them in public.

If not the Arizona's, anyone have any recommendations, Birkenstock, or otherwise?

@Johnnyutah247 I only wear Arizona’s or Zerrows at the beach. East to slip on and kick off when needed.
