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

[henry_david]

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.

[seawolf]

Sure is nice to not give a fuck!

Sounds like a book.

It's a better read than:

"Crocs - for those who've given up"

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

…they last for a decade @Sage954 :-). Well done!

Birks, duck, and the mountains.

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

[seawolf]

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

Tangiers - No I did not go in…...

[henry_david]

Ugh, I'd love to see which models they carry that aren't available here in the United States. C'mon, @Giles 

[Paul9221]

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

YESSS – another convert! I wear a 48 EU (15 US) in the Arizonas, Bostons, and Londons. I wear a 15 US in Vans, 14 UK in Doc Martens, and a 15 US in Allen Edmonds. Does that help any? I don't wear Converse so can't help you there.

[Paul9221]

Oh man goodness!  Size 15?!  Your feet are literally 50% bigger than mine!  LOL

Okay, sounds like I need to figure out my Vans sizing based on my Chucks sizing, so that I can figure out my Birks sizing!  Thanks, HD!

I need to cool it on the spending for the next 3 weeks or so, but I can start planning.
