... for a few decades now and they feel as good as ever
Been buying Birks for a few decades now and they feel as good as ever. These are definitely authentic and have excellent build quality. That said you should know that I am and always have been ONE FULL SIZE LOWER THAN THEIR LISTED USA-EQUIVALENT SIZE (I am normally a size 8.5, but I take a size EU40/US7.5 in Birkenstock. This is how it has always been -- it's not because its fake, its because for some reason, Birkenstock was made for people with larger feet. Also keep in mind that some vendors have the Narrow and Wide versions -- wide is the "Normal" so be careful if you select "N" for some vendors as you may be selecting "Normal" (Wide). In either case, I would clarify before purchasing. Generally speaking if Nike shoes fit you well at your TRUE size, get the narrow -- if you're like most people and a Nike shoe requires a larger size, then you probably should go with the "Normal" wide. But again, your TRUE size is probably one size too big in this brand. I would also find a local store to verify your size if you haven't purhcased Birkenstock sandals before.For me, the $10 off (average discount you'll find online) plus free ship and no tax makes a difference. Might not and be worth trying on a specific pair for others. Be wary of vendors with discounts more than 20% as these are usually fakes of some sort as Birkenstock doesn't discount as often or as much as a general policy.Any case, these are great and are comfortably replacing my last 10 year pair that I neglected and did not repair or take care of for its entire life. FYI, with a little care, these can last quite a long time and Birkenstock will actually repair/refurbish your sandals for a reasonable cost (based on what needs to be done). So up to you how you want to play it -- I have a cousin that has had the same sandals for 16 years because he cares for it and just got it repaired by Birkenstock instead of buying over.Ver másVer menos
