I was simply astonished to find that the Birkenstock is so expensive in the United States or elsewhere! i purchased my pair for for about HK$490 (In US dollars that is about $60). Basically, I just purchased my silver Gizehs for half the price here in Hong Kong. Apparently it's even cheaper in Taiwan!
Then again, Birkenstock, for some reason, is nowhere near as well established in terms of brand name in Hong Kong or around China, it is far more popular in warmer climates like Singapore.

Wow, I would think it would be more expensive there. Stock up while you can?
They're everywhere in Korea, prices seem similar to the US or maybe slightly more expensive.
I guess I should stock up, this is $US60 BEFORE sales, so i'm waiting until the Augest blowout sale season to buy up every last Arizona/Mayori/Gizeh they have in stock!
By the way, what's the general consensus on the clogs? are they yay or nay? how do you guys generally style them?

I still have a pair of clogs, but to be fair, I wore them mostly during my residency, exclusively with scrubs... I don't think they've seen the light of day since then. I hung on to them, though, because I've always had a soft spot for Birks. I'm not sure what I'd wear them with now. I would assume they'd make a bit of a comeback themselves this F/W after the sandal explosion this summer.
I have a pair (actually the Naot version, which is the same), and have had them for years. They are incredibly comfortable, but I only wear them when walking the dog.
They can be cute, in that sexy/ugly Birkenstock way, with jeans, I don't care for them with dresses or shorts.
As Schadenfreude mentioned, I'll be curious to see if they are seen more this Fall, after the Birkenstock craze of this summer.
I received my Arizona Taupe suede with the soft footbed! Love them, my daughter (who only likes the gizeh and the kairo thongs) says they are ugly! hahaha. they don't even need a break in they are so soft suede and footbed.
You girls are lucky they are soo cheap in HK, they are about $130 USD+tax for the leather amalfi's I have on order.

Love the all black look. Wish they came in the monteray style and were avail! Does anyone know where to get them?
But is the footbed soft?
This is not a chic outfit (or really an "outfit" at all) but I was running errands and decided to try out my silver birko-flor mayari sandals. I think they are pretty cute for comfort sandals! I usually wear 8.5 in sandals and 9 in shoes and these are a 39. My toes aren't quite long enough to fit the toe grip properly but the 38 was too close because my toes were up to the edge. The arch feels very pronounced for my left foot (I think that one is slightly flatter) but they didn't make my feet hurt at all.
Nice!! I've bought some Arizonas recently because they look so cute right now but Mayaris are my favourite runaround Birks. I find them much more comfortable than Gizehs and more supportive than Arizonas for some reason - maybe it's that neat little toe ring effect that makes my feet feel secure in them? Hoping to get another pair but I can't really justify the purchase right now with two new pairs of Arizonas
I am so happy Birkenstocks are back in!! So happy that I wanna do the happy dance in them! Finally women can wear comfortable shoes and look cool too. I really hope more and more women are able to be subversive with their fashion and feel less pressure to wear and do things to their appearance due to societal pressures/expectations about what looks good. I hope we can more and more embrace fashion that is comfortable, healthier, sensible, affordable, economical, ecological and put more focus on their inner beauty. Of course i love o wear heels and fancy fitted clothes etc etc. but sometimes i get tired of it all and just need a break and that's where I'm at today. So gooooooooo birkies )))
