I had flat feet from too many miles on concrete with boots. I got the standard sole Birkenstock Sandals. They killed my feet, they hurt, I beat them with a hammer. For two months they killed my feet, but I wore them. One day they didn't hurt. in fact my feet grew to love them. Now because of Birkenstock Sandals I can walk all day on cement with no fatigue. My feet even feel better in my work boots, I am no longer a flat foot. Now you can have my Birkenstocks when you pry them off my cold dead feet.

Five years ago, after 35 years of professional women's shoes was just about to have a bunion removed, meaning surgery, because of pain when I re-discovered my own Birks, began wearing them solely (forgive the pun) and reversed the problem completely so there is no pain AT ALL! I own 15 pair of Birks and thank the company for making nicer looking women's Birkenstocks. I always tell people 'your feet are your foundation, keep them healthy.'.

Birkenstocks are german and to me as a german Birkenstocks are not shoes. I think it looks ridiculous to were them on the streets ^^. Don't get me wrong, I love them and have had and worn them all my life. But here we use them inside the house or kids inside of school. They change their shoes when entering the school building. We call them "house shoes" because we specifically were them inside. outside we were actual street shoes or sandals with a heel strap that don't come off. so it is funny to see how people from different cultures use the same products in completely different ways.

Americans are lazy and are obsessed with always being comfortable. Because they're comfortable they'll want to wear them everywhere and all the time. Sometimes people wear pajamas around during the day, beucause its comfy. When it's cold out, they'll wear socks with those scandals. Honestly, these are mainly for hippies and white people in the states. What we call "house shoes" are slippers or slide, which people also like to wear outside of the house.

Yeah and 90s fashion is what is popular again. Like people are wearing platform sneakers like the spice girls. People are also wearing jelly shoes as well. So both statements can be true that they were popular in the early nineties and they're popular again now and they fell out of fashion but are back. Noone in my high school, in Colorado, would have worn a sandal that was so simple. I graduated in 2012 and I had trouble finding a simple sandal because they were all gold or silver and bedazzled.

Yup, my foot physiotherapist (yes, have one of those, I have a chronic inflamation of a tendon in my foot, so I see him often :P ) did a walking analysis and concluded my arch is too high, and I lean too much on the outside of my foot to compensate for that. So arch support is key. Less pain when I wear birckenstocks so this summer I almost exclusively wore my pair. My old ones had worn out after 15 years :P so I sadly had to let them go, and I'm not completely happy that the model I wore was gone now. :( I get blisters on the top of my foot from the straps on the three strap versions. I wanted either one strap, or the criss cross over the toes ones.

They are ridiculously comfortable.

@ReneeStevens98 5 жыл бұрын

My tips: Buy the Arizona style, because your cobbler can easily add new holes to the wide straps as the leather stretches. Reseal the cork every few months. Use a stiff brush to clean & recondition the footbed. Be sure to have the base sole replaced before the cork is exposed from wear. And replace the footbed whenever it feels like that excellent support is missing... I do this every 3-4 years. These tips double or triple the life of my Birks!

I even injured my ankle/foot drastically 2 years ago and had surgeries and STILL can wear my Birks vs many of my other shoes that are no go for me nowadays. Also, found it odd that you said you suffered blisters with brand new pairs Levi- I have never had to really break in brand new pairs much- they are just a tiny bit stiff when I first start wearing new ones.

As a girl: I love Birkenstocks because along with footbed comfort, the width is customizable. In brands that sell "wides", they're like buying big bras in popular brands: they're all the ugliest colors and styles. It sucks. They're also stocked less or something, because they're always out of stock.. Birkenstocks can be personally customized, so they're convenient. Women's shoes are notoriously tiny/thin and cause bunions, only to make it so that we need even wider shoes or else suffer from major toe pain. Birkenstocks aren't good looking IMO but they're ok looking and they actually fit human feet as opposed to Barbie feet 😅
