Can anyone comment on how the metallic finishes hold up? I ordered a pair in rose gold but some reviews state how quickly the metallic ones scuff up and peel

My metallic rose gold and silver birkis have gotten water spots stains from a spill and scuffed easily. They also show wear on the leather under any hardware, if you ever attempt to tighten a strap. In my opinion the metallic leather doesn’t hold up nearly as well as my other leather and patent burkis, but they are so beautiful and comfy that I buy them anyway. [emoji1438]‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️
 
I decided this weekend that I wanted a pair of Birkenstocks for easy throw on shoes for the summer, but everywhere I went didn't sell them small enough to fit me :( I found kids that fit but they were brown and I wanted white or gold. I ended up with a pair from Browns (Canadian shoe store) and so far I'm super happy with them! I do wish I could have found actual Birkenstocks though.

Hi not sure which Canadian city you are in but in Toronto you can get cute Birkenstocks in kid sizes. I wear a size 33. I’ve purchased from Kiddie Kobler, Get Outside Shoes on Queen St and my most recent pair was an online order from Nordstrom. By the way your new shoes from Browns look great too - hope they are as comfy as Birkenstocks:)

Thanks! They're super comfy, I've never owned Birkenstocks so I can't really compare the two but I'd say they are on the same comfort level as Uggs.

I'm in Calgary so I don't think we have any of those stores, and we have limited stores and stock just about everywhere. The only kids ones I could find were all brown and not the style I liked... I'll keep looking online though! I would need a size 33 or 34.

I have the rose gold ones, ordered from Birkenstock’s official site and when they came, one sandal had a small scuff already on them. I was disappointed but I thought that it will only get worn the more I wear them. I will attach a picture to show you when I’m home if it would be useful. :)

Aw thanks! I ended up ordering the same ones and mine also came with a scuff on them. I returned them for the silver in the Birko-flor material thinking it would wear better, but they also have gotten a little scuffed. So don’t worry about the scuff - guess it happens to all of them!
