      My first pair of Bostons ever and my first pair of Birks in many years. I was that dirty dude in college who had a gnarly Birkenstock tan and wasn't aware that laundry was a thing…

      Paired here with some socks from Anonymous Ism and my IH-634-XHS. Not in the picture: IHB-08, IHSI-02, & IHSI-10.

          Thanks much, @Aetas!  😉 Glad to have a pair again. This was one of the only ones in my size (EU 48/UK 14/US 15) so I said f$%k it and went with the bright white!

            The company has been sold to a company backed by Europe's richest man.  It will be interesting to see what will come out of it.

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

                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 – 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 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…
