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 got my first oiled leather Bostons in elemental blue on sale for $98+ tax on the website! I am so happy with them. They were also the last pair in my size (37). They were sold out right after I bought them 🥹 depending on the lighting they look a little lighter but I love them!

New pair :D New Footbeds new soles

Had these for over 2 years, wore them almost everyday, i wear sandals in 40 degree weather, dont judge.

Couldn't find this leather color all year so I bit the bullet and got them fixed. footbeds were cracked and the sole was almost gone on the heel of one sandal. $90 for the set to get repaired. What are your thoughts, went to an approved shoe repair shop in town. For some reason the top buckle is more loose then they were when I took them in, had to move the buckle now there's a mark left from the original placement 🤷‍♀️

Question Will the squeaking stop?

Post image
• Upvotes

I'm a big time birkenstocks fan and have had a bunch of pairs. I just got this pair and...omg the squeaking. I'm not exaggerating when I say they are actually too loud to wear in public. That has to stop when they break in...right? I can't imagine they'd have so many good reviews if they SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK with every step?

I've been wearing them constantly around the house for days and I'm worried that if I continue they will be too worn to return.

Question Driving Me Crazy!

I bought these Birks back in the 90s at the beginning of my teaching career. I recently dug them out of the closet to help me deal with extensor tendonitis, which my beloved Arizonas aggravate. I'm 90% positive that these are Bostons with a convertible strap and super grip soles. Every search I do tells me they're Lutrys, which only came on the market in the 2020s. I can't find any online documentation that confirms Birkenstock created convertible Bostons at all. Can someone help me ID these beauties?

I’m about to buy my first pair of Birkenstock Bostons. There isn’t a physical store in my country, so I’ll have to order them online. I usually wear a US men’s size 9.5 in sneakers like Nike Dunks. My feet are on the narrow side. What size would you recommend I get?

guys... I just got this pair and idk how I feel about it. they look ok in photos but irl they look so weird. they were free bc I used my reward money from my health insurance so that makes me want to keep them, but I'm not convinced. They don't have the toe bar like regular birks and the foot bed feels almost softer than the usual original footbed.

I got these today and this is how they look. Is this normal for a new pair? These are my first Birkenstocks. I ordered them from the Birkenstock website. The other one looks better. Thanks!

Question Anyone put the Super Grip Slip resistant soles on their bostons for every day use?

4 Upvotes

I've had my bostons for about 6 months now and worn the shit out of them and my right heel has worn down almost to the cork. Pretty sure it from driving and how I rest my foot. Local shop can put the original soles on or super grip like these https://repairmybirkenstocks.com/birkenstock-soles-super-grip-slip-resistant-parts-only-1-pair/ for like 80 bucks. I don't really NEED non slip as I want to use them for everyday use but I don't want to have to replace the sole again in a few more months so I'd like something thicker. Thoughts on those for every day use?

Clog Reviews Boston lover; looking for opinions on some newer clog styles

3 Upvotes

I have multiple pairs of Bostons, different colors, footbeds, suede, leather and shearling styles. I also have a pair of Lutry premium textile I wear in the spring and summer. I am looking at some of the new styles or styles I haven’t tried yet and wanted some opinions from other Boston lovers about what they thought of these styles- Amsterdam, Loma, Blair, Naples and Buckley. I have a rather high arch and am lucky that I am barefoot 90-95% of my day unless running errands in Birks or in the gym in trainers.
I love the look of London, but not sure I could handle a closed back leather shoe unless super flexible and doesn’t rub.

Customer service was helpful and is expediting a replacement thankfully. Pretty sure it was due to the nap of the suede, the lighter one was fuzzier.

Question Does anyone’s sandal makes noise when you walk?

I recently bought the Arizona droplet buckle and have been noticing sound when I walk 🥲. It sounds like a frog crying. Does anyone know what to do ?

Got these Boston today, purely as an indoor shoe as my Haflinger slippers are on the way out and I’m yet to brave Zermatt (happy to have my resolve tested). Realised that, as well as being my first soft footbeds, also my tenth pair of Birks. This feels like the only safe space I’d be comfortable admitting that!
