So are birkenstocks a meme or what? I'm having difficulty determining if these are worth the $135

>> No.13463015

They're fucking ugly.

ok
is there a better pair of sandals you would recommend fampai?

>> No.13463026

i'm late to the fact that these were a trend that everyone got really fussed aboot.
This is the first time I've seen em and they look cool, would rep with some bright red socks

If you're a girl they're a meme unless you live in a flyover state, if you're a guy they're cool

Can somebody explain the 'Birkenstocks are ugly' thing? They just look like two strap sandals to me.

They're popular for a reason. I bought mine on END clothing for like $85, $93 shipped. Soft footbed and mocha suede. Buying off their website or Zappos will have you pay $135. I'm pretty happy with them, especially since I live in Texas and needed a solid pair of sandals for summer. Spring for the soft footbed because it's only like $10 more even on their website.

They can also go pretty well with /comfycore/ if you're into that.

If somebody says Birks are fugly and recommends fucking SUICOKES as an attractive alternative then they should be sent to the gulag.

This.

I bought a pair of a no brand copy (didn’t even know about this brand) for like $20 a couple years ago. Wear them at home all the time, they’re comfy and surprisingly well made.

Worth 135 if you like the look. I've had mine for 4 years and wear them a lot and they've held up great. The only downside is the cork sole is painful as fuck until it forms to the shape of your foot but after it does they are the comfiest thing you'll wear.

Suicokes look cheap and uggo as fuck. Why would OP pay $70 more for polyester and rubber?

If you get Birks you have to commit to earth tones (aka you have to commit to being a faggot)
