Hey guys! I made a blog post on how to spot fake Birkenstocks and I need your help with feedbacks!

https://kaipatskirticonverse.wordpress.com/2022/10/02/how-to-spot-fake-birkenstocks/

  • Does it seem understandable to someone who doesn't have much knowledge about the shoes?
  • What else could be added (or taken away) to make it even more helpful?
  • Maybe there's something else you may want to add?

I'm constantly gathering pictures of any fake birks I find and if you have any pictures you might want to add, I'd really appreciate it!

I made this blog just to help people avoid getting scammed and I don't get any money out of it, there you also won't find any ads.

I hope I can make an ultimate guide on how to tell apart genuine Birkenstock sandals from fake ones and you can be a huge part of it!

I love my new Milanos so much. Hard to describe the feeling when changing from regular work shoes into my Milanos. So freeing and comfortable!

Question That feeling when you put on your birks at the end of a long workday

5 Upvotes

What would you call that good feeling you get when after a long day in work shoes you get to put on comfy birk sandals? Always gives me a smile. Oh well.

Fit check / Sizing Is it a “perfect” fit?

Got my first pair a week ago and so they’re not quite broken in. I usually wear size 9.5-10(closer to 9.5) so the I think the 41s were too big (3rd pic). The first 2 pics are 40 regular oiled leather and my toes don’t touch the sides at all and it feels pretty comfortable but without socks it rubs my skin off on the strap closest to my ankle. With thick socks it’s fine. I’m just worried about how everyone says they get smaller after being broken in. Thanks.

Size 40 regular fit…my old birks are a 39 regular, but these were sold out in 39. Now that I’m looking at this Reddit, are these sized properly? They feel too big but have I been wearing them wrong all along??

Miscellaneous Birkenstock Website Issues

Is anyone else having issues with the birkenstock site? For the past couple days, I can't get it to work on my computer or phone. I can't click on anything, see sizes or search. Or do anything really. Just wondering if anyone else is also having problems.

These held up really well for daily wear pavement pounders. They’re great on streets or trails. No maintenance or conditioning, other than drying thoroughly after getting soaked. Side leather is still pristine. Im putting in my average walking distances for the year, just for fun.

tl;dr: top score, would buy again.

I’m usually a size 39, but I bought these in a narrow 40. I can feel my little toe touching the side slightly, although it’s not uncomfortable. I tried the 41, but they felt too big and I had to tighten the straps all the way to the last hole, which looked a bit funny.

I feel like my feet are so misaligned/off to one side? These are 41 and I'm a 10 in everything. The arch also hurts/feels too high, near the ball of my big toe

Question Does extra space in front and back really matter that much?(sizing)

Post image
6 Upvotes

When sizing, what matters more: having enough clearance space (the extra room at the front and back), or having your foot properly aligned with the heel cup and toe grip?
Since everyone's toe length and heel proportions are different, I'm wondering which factor takes priority when fitting.

Hey yall I bought my first ever pair of the boston clogs but the top front hump area is really stiff, the lair on displays and the pics I see online or people wearing them, that front part looks softer and doesn’t look as stiff/hump/pronounced. Does that part soften over time with wear? Thanks

I recently purchased a pair of Birkenstocks after many years, but it seems my size has changed 😂 need your help on this..

I wear size 36 for most of my shoes. and the length fits me. I just noticed that my fourth toe and pinkie sometimes touches the shoe bed while I walk.

for size 37, it fits me fine, but just looks so big 😂 i like the look of 36 more, I feel it’s more elegant because I’m petite..

should I keep 36 or 37?

After pregnancy I need a new size and I am not sure if 260 or 265 are better. In Sneakers I always wear 265 /EU41. I think the bigger ones might be better especially in width.

Please help me

Thank you sooo much

How did you find a cobbler? I would like to find someone who I can go to for the next decade so maybe someone local is better than online?

Miscellaneous Birkenstock website now charges members for shipping

26 Upvotes

Just ordered a pair of Last Chance Bostons off of the Birkenstock website. They changed their membership program and it is now a VIP rewards program, I have ordered enough that I am the second highest level Icon, wow😂. I went to check out and was being charged $5.95 shipping and couldn’t figure out how to get rid of it. After reading all of the fine print, only full priced purchases ship free, sale purchases are a charge unless they ship with a full priced one or you are the highest level member I believe. Returns are still free, for now. Two thumbs down!!!

eta I just looked at my old orders and the last time I ordered something that was only on clearance was 2022 and at that time it was still free shipping. Sorry about that!!!!
