tHESE bIRKENSTOCK SANDALS or these Fitflop sandals?

[ChairPose9to5]

I like that these do not show the toes

I like these too

I don't like that super flat klunky dm style of sandal that is fashionable this summer. So they may not be that fashionable I realise this!

I like the Birkenstock, so that must mean the fitflops are more fashionable!

I think the Bs will wear better over time.

That said the only thing that actually counts is how comfortable each one is.

The Birkenstocks out of the two. Based on aesthetics alone.
full disclosure- I own both Birkenstocks and fitflop (not those styles).

The Birkies by a long way!

Birkies for sure! I've stopped buying Fitflops, they're hot and they end up reeking. I don't know what it is as I don't have smelly feet and none of my other sandals smell but my Fitflops absolutely stink. Must be the synthetic material but even the leather lined ones do.

Birkenstocks (full disclosure they are the main brand of footwear for me for about 8 months of the year)

I think they are far nicer quality than FitFlop but I've only tried a few pairs of FitFlops over the years and never liked them.

Definitely, FitFlops don't last well at all ,they are definitely a one season sandal whereas I've had Birkies for years.

The fitflops look like old lady sandals! Definitely the Birkenstocks

I’ve been looking at the birks. I have quite a few pairs but not those.

Ok, thanks. I suppose the fitflop ones look good on the model's thin golden pedicured feet but my legs are more solid, less golden.

I love Birkenstocks but not the ones in your link. The Fitflop sandals are a no.

If you like those maybe also have a look at clogs from Lotta from Stockholm too.

Oh yes, some nice ones on that site

Out of those two, I'm going to be the first to say the fitflop ones. Even though I love birks and live in mine, I do not like that closed toe style!

@ChairPose9to5 did you buy them?

I did. The birkenstock ones (Name changer here)
They hurt the top of my foot the first few times I wore them but the top leather has softened up now and they are comfy, solid and give me 2 inches height but not in a way that has me wobbling along precariously. Solid base. I'll have them for years.

@C0mfyChairP0se thank you for replying! They sound perfect!
