@SKT yeah for sure, the colour is perfect and ages nicely. Got my eye on the olive green version next methinks..
-
@Mr-Eddy that selvedge upgrade on your birks is spot on
-
Has anyone tried these shearling ones? Sorry if I may have missed an earlier post …
-
It's been 8y but I'm ready to let them go.

and get a new pair in … pink?
-
@Oaktavia if these could talk ..
-
You could keep using them a lot longer if you have them resoled (the rubber outsole, suede insole and cork footbed) by a cobbler. The leather looks very much in tact and well broken in.
-
@Mizmazzle It'll cost more then a new pair though BUT if you want and pay for shipping, I'll send em to you
-
@scarfmace haha. That is tempting, but…pass!

-
@AdamJ cause both is the only option to go

Hey Birk fans. I have a pair of Bostons that I wear around the house daily and sometimes to run errands etc. We’re heading to Vietnam this summer and thinking I need a proper sandal to walk around in all day. Thinking either the Arizona or the Milano. Leaning towards the Milano due to the heel strap.
-
@Mizmazzle my Birk slides (Kyoto model I think) have taken me on many a hike and bike ride in Thailand, so versatile!
-
Once broken in, yeah, especially when tightened up a little! The bastards tore up my feet to begin with though, should've seen my face when I noticed the beautiful yellow suede was stained with blood that has soaked through from the inside after my first long walk in them!
In hindsight, if you're buying a new pair particularly for this trip, a heel strap would probably benefit as you said. Couldn't see myself hiking in Sa Pa rice fields in the Kyotos...
