Those Birkenstock clog things

[Twoshoesnewshoes]

Which I have always thought were utterly hideous and should only be worn by Dutch architects- they’re growing on me!
do they fall off your feet if you walk quickly?

They just look absolutely horrible the sort of shows you see old ladies wearing cos they can’t wear anything else
To me they are Fugly

I have flat feet and they’ve done wonders for me.

@Twoshoesnewshoes I’ve never slipped out of them. I have plantar fasciitis and Birkenstocks have really helped.

They are fugly but in a cool way. I feel really trendy when I wear mine with slouchy socks. ☺️

I went for a massage today and the first thing the therapist said was ‘I love your birkies’.

I love my Birkenstock bostons. They take a bit to break in like all Birks but once done - they are so comfortable. I live in them when it’s not winter.

Maybe I need to try some on and have a swift hike round the shoe shop

Though I have found original Birkenstock very uncomfortable. I have a primark fake pair for hanging out the washing and they’re okay .

The only Birkenstocks that I've ever found remotely comfortable are the Manolo collabs. The rest are some of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever had.

You can get “Soft bed” birks now that don’t need as much breaking in and softening. Once you do get to that point though - they are moulded to you feet and really comfortable.

@previouslyknownas i’m a lecturer and lots of my students (male and female) wear Bostons - definitely not just for old ladies.

i might try the new look ones for £20 and see how I get on. They can easily be relegated to putting out the recycling shoes at that price.

I went out for dinner with my son’s 20 year old gf and we were both wearing Bostons (with socks).
