Chic ways to wear Birkenstocks

[iluvbagsnshoes]

I think my Birks are ruining other shoes for me- they're so comfy I want to wear them all the time!

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.

Love this style ! Thanks for sharing,renza

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 )))

Yes

I have black leather amalfi Arizonans on order, the difference as I understand it is the soft footbed. Amalfi comes with soft footbed. I don't think the oiled leather does.

The oiled leather is a thicker, more sturdy leather. It ages and distresses a bit with wear. I love the distressed/aged look, others don't care for it. What I mean by thicker/sturdier is that if the shoe sits unworn it holds it shape. There are oiled leather birks with a regular footbed and some with a soft footbed. I bought some from MatchesFashion with a soft foodbed.

The amalfi is a softer leather. It might get floppier with use. Amalfi leather is defined as Italian leather (made in Amalfi, Italy). But I have no idea if the birk amalfi leather is truly Italian leather or just softer then the oiled leather.

Hi cookie thanks for your help. That's wat I thought originally too. I actually called a store and they told me the oiled leather is more matte vs the Amalfi being more shiny. Also the other difference is the soft footbed.

Thanks tb. Your advice really helped. I have never seen the oiled leather with soft footbed. Only the Amalfi

Hi all, for birkenstock lovers in Singapore, world of sports is having at 50% sale off all birk/papillio designs. I managed to snag 2 pairs at sgd 50 each which is ~usd 40. I saw a lot of Madrids and gizeh in various colours, grab now while they still have sizes! 😃😃😃

Yeah, maybe the soft footbed is only in EU or was a limited edition for Matches? It was listed at $192. But I got them with a 30% discount.

Here are pics of the ones I purchased. I wanted to show you they get distressed and soft footbed list on the insole. You might not like the distressed look. Might be because they are limited edition.

Both colours are gorgeous -- they remind me of Bal bag colours!

Love these! I wanted this colour combo from NAP but they were sold out. So I ended up getting the J Crew ones with silver buckles instead.

Nice!! I can't believe the low prices in Asia, so envious!

Thank you! I really love putting these together with outfits. They look great with white pants and a blue printed tee. Yes, same size as yours and I love the soft fb over the regular fb. I have been wearing my birks or dickers pretty much everyday lol.

Great minds think alike! . I was lucky to have grabbed these. I saw them on JCrew, but my size sold out. I was lucky to find them at Matches in my size.
