I've worked with ladies who swear by them as their prime, go-to sandal. Just curious to know if the ladies of CD feel the same way about them and how many pairs do you have in your collection?
I never thought of them as a flattering sandal for anyone's feet. Always though of Birks more for comfort, not for looks. In fact, I have nightmares of the crazy math teacher who wore the popular two-strap Arizona style exclusively AND with socks as much as possible throughout the winter months. Scarred me through high school!
Lately, Birkenstocks have become really popular, especially the thong varieties. I have seen many women sport the Gizeh style and I think they look amazing on nice well-pedicured feet.
They are so comfy, but so ugly. There's just no way they can be cute. Maybe when a small child wears them, they're ok. But once you're in your 20's, it starts to look like you're wearing your great-grandmother's sandals that she bought because they don't make her bunions hurt.
The bottom of my feet ached for years until my sister in law told me to try a pair of Birks. I can't thank her enough. I used to wear slippers in the house, and tried custom made orthodics in expensive sport shoes... a total waste of money!!
I own two pairs of Birks, one for my house, one for in and around our travel trailer through the summer. I want to get another pair for our cottage too.
While they are certainly clunky and quite ugly, my feet haven't felt this good in years. I just don't wear them out of the house (or while camping).
I would love to wear birks. I don't because it's all I can do to get myself to not dress that way.
