@@sxrry.8206 Yes! The only difference between the vegan styles and non-vegan, is that the upper and the footbed lining on the vegan styles are always synthetic. The cork will still need to be maintained, no matter which version you choose. Birkenstock sells a care kit which includes a cork sealer, and it's super easy to use. As far as repairing and resoling, that would be a question for your local shoe repair place.
Do you know if using cork seal also helps it become water repellent? I really want a pair of the suede ones but I hear that the rain can sometimes ruins them.
@@tk-unc hipsters arent a things anymore and haven't been for a decade. And who is saying theyre "edgy" lmao theyre almost known for the opposite. People just like the shoe because its comfy, casual, fairly priced and good quality.
LVMH buying the company definitely led to their cool factor. I bet there was a whole campaign around pumping it up and it worked. Also with Covid and lounge wear going up in lock downs these benefited greatly.
Had these on deck for evening strolls during our recent trip to Cancun. Wore them everywhere on the resort. Super comfy and the tan suede joints go with everything.
I've had both my Arizonas and Bostons for 20 years, my Arizonas are on their 3rd soles and the Bostons their 2nd but I wore through the cork a little. My favorite pieces of footwear I've ever bought. They are like aspirins for your feet. Highly recommend always having a pair in your rotation. Cacth them before you wear into the cork and you'll have a pair for life. My are currently getting refurbished. Wear them with out socks, they feel better imho
I have wide ass feet so it was very uncomfortable at first. My foot was literally widening the cork sole because they were so wide. It almost caused blisters on the arches on my feet. But this is about my 8th wear and I would already say they are more comfortable than my new balance 2002rs and crocs and any like comfortable shoe you could think of.
New birks: wear them around the house for a hour or two, like during chores. DO NOT wear them on a walk, or to work. you will regret it. Just wear them for little things, short walks, maybe a grocery store pick up... max. after a few wears you will forget you have them on. tah dah, broken in! Also NEVER EVER leave in in the hot such like on a beach, or esp not in a car on a warm day, they will peel like a banana. and done for.
I’ve lived a Birkenstock free zone life thus far. I associated these with Grateful Dead fans and overzealous environmentalists. But with the recent earthquake shake in NYC and the upcoming solar eclipse. I think the universe is sending me a sign. This summer I will try and cop the oiled leather pair. *BOP*
I've wanted bostons for like genuinely two years now, but could never justify it. But the other night I was targeted by an Instagram ad of some dark purple suede bostons and I just couldn't resist. I will definitely be wearing them with socks. It gives off such a cozy and casual vibe when wearing with shorts. If I'm wearing long pants I probably wouldn't wear socks tho
I would caution against going TTS! definitley try them on. I wear a 10.5-11 but had to go with 9-9.5 in the Bostons cause they run huge. Put a foot in one if at all possible before buying is my advice!
Birkenstock has a sizing chart on their size you can print out. Trace your foot and see how it lines up against the various width lines. If any part of your foot touches these lines or goes outside of it, you'll want regular/wide. Indeed, most people will not want narrow/medium. It can cause some major chaffing/blistering on the sides of your feet if the width is too narrow.
I’m sixty-five years old and have had many pairs of Birkenstocks over the years. I just ordered a pair of pink suede Arizona’s with the soft footbed in medium/narrow and love them so much! I hand knit socks and don’t care what people say - I wear my socks with them. Great informative video and singing - I subscribed.
As a woman unless you know that you have a wide foot I would try the medium/narrow. I wear medium/narrow and have a medium width foot. The wide does not work for me at all... too much room for my foot to slide around and the alignment for arch and heel cup doesn't work. Men have wider feet in general so wide works for most of them. I have been wearing Birks for decades and have never found anything more comfortable. Birks work with socks or no socks. It's about the comfort. 😎I've just found your channel and have subscribed. 👍
@brendajohnson5525 I'm a woman with a definitely wide foot (2E), so the Regular/Wide works perfectly for me. It's hard for me to find shoes that fit my wide feet -- even in men's -- and the Birks fit beautifully. Yay for Regular/Wide Birkenstocks! 😃🥰
Birkenstock has the widths in millimetres on their sizing chart. If you measure (a ruler with both cm and inches will work, just place your foot on there and use tape or something to mark the exact spot) you’ll know which one to buy. I thought the narrow would be right, but so glad I checked! Definitely needed the reg/wider one! You might find you’ve wider, but lower volume feet (which aren’t as full on the top of too high of an arch).
My Electrician wears them , he called them dolly shoes. I found a almost new pair of black ones at a thrift store for $12 and asked if he wanted me to grab them for him , I said the black is good for formal occasions and weddings .
I’m in the group with half sized feet and going to the bigger size was a mistake. Thought the little “foot massage” arch was uncomfortable and the bigger size just felt right but definitely think just working it in more was the right way to go
@@jonathanni236 the bigger size had no discomfort with that arch and seemed to shape my foot better but now it’s obviously too big so it’ll slip off haha
hiii may i ask what sizes youre between and which size you chose to keep?? im between 36 and 37 and got both rn, and my heel are touching the "heel" end rn in the 36 but in the 37 you can def see like 1 cm inbetween the heel and my heel...
Great video. I love my Bostons. I have the oiled leather pair since I think they will age well and look even better with time. I’m still going to have to grab a suede pair. So clean.
Watched this video a couple of days ago, but then I went on vacation, and they had a Birkenstocks outlet, and I just couldn’t help myself, and got a pair of Bostons, they look great, and now I’ve watched the video twice 😁
I started wearing Birkenstocks about 25 years ago. I had a pair that look like the Arizona sandals. They were comfy! But I lost track of them, and now I can’t find them.😢 oh well, now for a pair of Bostons!
For the summer I prefer the normal sandals or slides like the Arizona or Kyoto models. Just make sure you choose the models with leather in the interior because they are much more comfortable to wear.
I’m a men’s 7.5 in nike. I got a pair of the 39 and 40s. The 40 is too big even though that’s supposed to be the 7.5. So I kept the 39 (which is like 6.5m)
Venture Capitalists Bernard Arnault and his peers have swooped in on the opportunity to reap off the masses once BIRK begins appreciating. The sandal is a personal favorite though.
I know of a Birkenstock shopper in Berlin that owned equity under L Chatterton that privately manages the now publicly listed BIRK. She asked me if I was interested in getting shares early so as to earn a carry when they float the company
Interesting. I would have swallowed up that offer. Are you fr? What do you do? Are there tools that allow investors to invest in companies before they hit the stock market, multiplying those potential gains that otherwise wouldn’t be available after the initial public offering.
I have used the same money manager for close to 10 years. We got in fairly early with a modest amount of money. Then it mushroomed like an atomic bomb. We had over 4 million dollars after GameStop profits in 2020/2021. Inflation has eaten away at the nest egg but we are lucky to have Loren look after it diligently like she has done the past 8 years.
I have been wearing Birkenstock shoes for over 40 years with two downsides when they are worn out the shoe is flat hurts to walk in (new is like walking on clouds and springs - a soft bouncy shoe with little to no discomfit to feet, legs, and back something no other shoe has done for me) in about 2 years of daily use and the other is I can not wear any other normal shoe because no other normal shoe is as comfortable to wear, and my feet are now too wide I cannot find a shoe as wide as Birkenstock I did look! And Birkenstock has a new sole for the shoe very sweet I love this shoe, I would pay double the price if asked too my feet are that important to me, I see the shoe as cheap to buy!
Just got my first Bostons a week ago. Its something different on my feet, I have a bit of discomfort but my feet is getting use to it. I hope overtime it will get better as everybody keeps telling me
I tried several pairs of the Bostons. My first, the Vegan option, felt cheap and uncomfortable. Second came the black oily leather with original footbed. Upper qualiy was nice, but felt a bit more snug due to the thickness of the leather,and the original footbed did not work for me. Lastly ( for now) was the black smooth Almafi leather version,with the soft footbed. Finally...perfection,or as close as I expect to get .No complaints what's so ever. Now I'm considering a pair of the black suede with the soft footbed as my next pair.
If you love the soft footbed, stalk their site occasionally because they change which shoes have or don't have the soft footbed. I first bought that footbed in Paris shoes which were like a Mary Jane and T strap combined and they were heaven. They don't make that style anymore. My black ones have been resoled three times and are just about really falling apart, after twelve years and a whole lot of mileage. Right now I've got a pair of purple Bostons and some black Kay SL with the soft footbed. It's a no-break-in shoe.
Pokémon rug 🔥I just coped Boston Shearling Suede Leather. Do you have any? I went TTS But I'm thinking I should have gone up because of fur inside,Thoughts,
Crucial thing to know: do NOT get your birks close to water. I'm not talking about the suede (obviously), but even leather and vegan ones. The cork would just deteriorate as well as the buckle.
All great tips! You are right about the first time… insole is uncomfortable until it molds to your feet… thanks for making reference to the price difference
Ive just had my boston sherlings delivered. I havent opened them yet but I bought 2 different sizes just to make sure. Delivery was a week from birkenstock so I bought both sizes. I'm normally a uk size 8 eu 42 but sizing is confusing. I plan to wear as house shoes like slippers. I bought some UGG tarmans but the sizing was way off and felt a bit cheap. Fingers crossed I love these birkenstocks I bought the pink ones they look so pretty.
Great video bro. I have the soft suede maroon and yes, it is not a slip on! You have to bend and lift the upper to slip your feet in. But I have the soft bed and comfort grows as you wear them. I had a sandal in college and wore them out. Just make sure its a soft-bed, thats with the cork foot bed.
Short hair suede is actually nubuck leather, not suede 😄 it's more top layer of leather, just like oiled one, but buffed instead for that soft look. Suede is the lower layer of leather with no grain in it
I have like 7 pairs of birks 2 are bostons. I want some black ones. I’m a little addicted. I cut hair and they save my legs and feet so much standing all day.
I just purchased my first pair of Birkenstock at 55 years old 2 weeks ago. I use a mobility aid because of a chronic illness. Why did I wait so long 😢😢. I'm about to order two other styles.
I live in Myanamr and we have a lot of Rain , yes RAIN !! , one day my bostons wet soaked totally in water and it broke my heart and need a really intensive long time to dry back.
I’m in the perfect position of being both a vegan and someone who has terrible circulation/chronically cold feet. Loving my boston’s and haven’t noticed my feet getting too hot! Breaking in well surprisingly for a non-leather shoe, also.
The vegan options are less durable. With a synthetic sock liner, it’s less abrasive resistant than suede which means the heel will start wearing out quicker
Just got my first pair but the top of the 3rd and 4th toe are rubbing against the leather upper and I'm wondering if this is something that breaks in or do you think it's just not the right size? The length is perfect. Wanted to get your opinion before I committed to keeping these and breaking them in.
With socks for sure! Not that into Bostons or Arizonas for that matter but really been liking how the Birkenstock Kyoto looks like, maybe I'll be picking those up for next summer 🤷🏼♂️ #pvv
I have very low arches, not plat foot, and my feet hates Birkenstock. My bf has high arches and he has them at work, and he says they are super uncomfortable, so guess they are not for everyone’s feet. I really want the Boston or nee Naples, but I’m just scared of them being super uncomfortable. For me even Crocks are better.
i went down a size and narrow cuz everyone said they fit big and now i have to do an exchange for regular width and my normal size .. wish i watched this before
First off, yerrrrr pvvvvv lol. I have just the normal clogs, they’ve broken in really well and are honestly my most worn shoe due to both how easy they are to slip on and the comfort. I also like how versatile they are i can wear them with sweat pants for more of a bummy look or with some like slacks and dress it up a bit and looks great either way.
Hey man I'm new to your channel and love it. I've been wearing Bostons for a long time. Love your page and style. Keep on doing what you do....Big fan.
Not really comfortable wearing em without socks tho except the Arizona models. Btw I bought the smooth leather version and it’s very hard to style, any tips?
I just got the vegan bostons and I wore them all day and my feet hurt pretty bad. Mostly at my arch and I have like somewhat flat feet with small arch. I got the reagular wide btw. they do look good. I’m gonna keep trying to break them in I really hope they work out bc they’re very nice.
@@filipe-hb4yo so I still have them and wear the somewhat regularly and first of all they are very durable. The olive colored ones get dirty rather fast but they are very durable. They don’t hurt my feet anymore tho, i do feel they they are true to size but id recommend getting half size up on the “vegan” edition if you plan to wear socks with them. Other than that they are pretty decent shoes just wish they didn’t attract so much dirt. P.s they are super easy to clean, just meet like a wet paper towel or something like that 👍
Want to get a pair so badly but I’m not sure if it’s because they’re super popular right now or if because I actually like them. Would I wear them 3 years down the road ? I’m not sure
I got the suede taupe ones and the upper flops a bit but I absolutely love them. I’m going to have to get a pair, im typically wearing these after work.
Bought my first pair of Birks a couple of weeks ago for my holiday in Corfu. They're the BEST purchase I've made in a while, finally a pair of shoes that don't merk my feet.
You definitely want to try them on as I'm a size 9 UK (10US) in everything besides Doc Martens. I've got super wide feet and wear a size 41 in Birks (I'm usually a size 43 in EU)
What do you think of ROHDE Suede Leather, thise whi looks just the eame as Birkenstock Boston? Sadly they didnt have the Boston, so I went for the ROHDE. They are high end shoes, I guess, high price but a good bit under the Birkenstock though.
@@DrewJoiner Definitely! I went on a Boston buying spree this spring and bought 3 pairs of oiled leather and 1 pair of suede. The tobacco brown is for sure softer and more pliable than the other colors of oiled leather, but the suede is definitely fuzzy and doesn’t keep its shape as much as the oiled leather. I can slip on all my oiled leather ones, but the suede pair is so floppy I have to use a hand to put them on. Wasn’t trying to be critical - good video overall! Just pointing that out for potential buyers. Also, I think the tobacco brown is my favorite feel of all of them - super soft but not too floppy.
@@yehoshua77 exactly! The tobacco is very very nice! I know you weren’t throwing shade man! I appreciate you commenting haha just some dudes who love birks lmao
i just got this in my recommended and when i realized you were standing on a pineco rug i immediately hit subscribe lol im not even 3 mins into the video
Also don't forget to maintain and use cork seal on your birks. You can also get them repaired and resoled at your local cobbler/ shoe repair stores.
Can you do this with the vegan Bostons?
@@sxrry.8206 Yes! The only difference between the vegan styles and non-vegan, is that the upper and the footbed lining on the vegan styles are always synthetic.

been rocking these for years and i used to get made fun of for them lol glad they’re considered cool now
I still get made fun of, but they're so comfy!

Never in my life did I think I would watch a video about shoes and even less so Birkenstocks.

literally was on birkenstocks website hours ago and then you dropped this vid its a sign from the fashion gods to cop😂

The vegan options are less durable. With a synthetic sock liner, it’s less abrasive resistant than suede which means the heel will start wearing out quicker

I choose no socks when wearing rubber/ EVA clogs like the Hydro Mocs, Sahele Crocs, Foam Runners etc
Those look so comfortable. I have birkenstocks sandals. I might have to purchase these clogs. I have waaay too many pairs of shoes
With socks for sure! Not that into Bostons or Arizonas for that matter but really been liking how the Birkenstock Kyoto looks like, maybe I'll be picking those up for next summer 🤷🏼♂️ #pvv
I just looked those up. Those are pretty cool! Did you buy them yet?
Definitely the Clogs with socks.
Love the way u explain and describe things 😂 definitely subscribing
I’ve owned a pair of Bostons for many years. They been slowly dying and just got a new pair! So stoked to have a new pair to last another 2 decades
Wearing my pair as we speak! Happy holidays
Sizing these are so hard. I got it wrong so many times. Each style is different.
did u go w/ the bigger or smaller size?:)
@@Filippaliv the smaller sizes worked for me.
@@Earthslittlesecrets Thank you!
Can you make a video on how to style these please?
I have very low arches, not plat foot, and my feet hates Birkenstock. My bf has high arches and he has them at work, and he says they are super uncomfortable, so guess they are not for everyone’s feet. I really want the Boston or nee Naples, but I’m just scared of them being super uncomfortable. For me even Crocks are better.
Great video really helped me with my purchase 🤝🤝
i went down a size and narrow cuz everyone said they fit big and now i have to do an exchange for regular width and my normal size .. wish i watched this before
First off, yerrrrr pvvvvv lol. I have just the normal clogs, they’ve broken in really well and are honestly my most worn shoe due to both how easy they are to slip on and the comfort. I also like how versatile they are i can wear them with sweat pants for more of a bummy look or with some like slacks and dress it up a bit and looks great either way.
Pvv ⭐️
What are the yellowish socks? Is it kapital or another brand?
Kapital
The left shoe hurts around the arch help! size 43 medium width
just got ordered some boston and London's! i found i needed to downsize toa uk 8 usually a 9
Hey man I'm new to your channel and love it. I've been wearing Bostons for a long time. Love your page and style. Keep on doing what you do....Big fan.
Thanks Charles! I appreciate the kind words
Does suede leather make you sweat in summer?
Any insights about soft footbed versus original?
Not really comfortable wearing em without socks tho except the Arizona models.
Btw I bought the smooth leather version and it’s very hard to style, any tips?
I think I’m going to make an entire video on styling
Helpful video! Quick question: What is this sweet jazz sample in the background?
fire vid, love your rug
I just got the vegan bostons and I wore them all day and my feet hurt pretty bad. Mostly at my arch and I have like somewhat flat feet with small arch. I got the reagular wide btw. they do look good. I’m gonna keep trying to break them in I really hope they work out bc they’re very nice.
Any update? I’m really curious because I’m scared to wear mine again they hurt my feet so bad lol.
update?
@@filipe-hb4yo so I still have them and wear the somewhat regularly and first of all they are very durable. The olive colored ones get dirty rather fast but they are very durable. They don’t hurt my feet anymore tho, i do feel they they are true to size but id recommend getting half size up on the “vegan” edition if you plan to wear socks with them. Other than that they are pretty decent shoes just wish they didn’t attract so much dirt. P.s they are super easy to clean, just meet like a wet paper towel or something like that 👍
Want to get a pair so badly but I’m not sure if it’s because they’re super popular right now or if because I actually like them. Would I wear them 3 years down the road ? I’m not sure
I got the suede taupe ones and the upper flops a bit but I absolutely love them. I’m going to have to get a pair, im typically wearing these after work.
bruh where u get em? The taupe suede pair literally sold out everywhere in size 7-7.5
Could you do a review on the Birkenstock naples?
I got the clogs as birthday gift - got a size 43 wide and have never been able to wear them. I wouldve pref a 42wide or 43narrow.
Return them
where is the shirt from?
3sixteen
which is the most versatile colourway did you suggest?
i have my arizonas but i want to buy the boston in the future, they look very cool
Nice ssense fitting room
where would you recommend to buy socks to pair with those Boston shoes~? like the ones you wore @5:15
Nice video! Is that oiled leather habana? What cream conditioner are you using?
I tried it before buying. I tried to get the fitting size but I did not feel it comfortable.
The insole is very hard.
I’m just gonna apply this to the Londonderry too then!
Bought my first pair of Birks a couple of weeks ago for my holiday in Corfu. They're the BEST purchase I've made in a while, finally a pair of shoes that don't merk my feet.
You definitely want to try them on as I'm a size 9 UK (10US) in everything besides Doc Martens. I've got super wide feet and wear a size 41 in Birks (I'm usually a size 43 in EU)
What do you think of ROHDE Suede Leather, thise whi looks just the eame as Birkenstock Boston? Sadly they didnt have the Boston, so I went for the ROHDE. They are high end shoes, I guess, high price but a good bit under the Birkenstock though.
nice video, dont like the style but the birkenstock sole is the best ever
Hey bro where do you get your socks? Btw nice video it really helps me
Kapital (green) druthersnyc (grey) glad I could help
How to buy them in Europe ?? I hound link only to USA official shop ...
loved the vid thinks for showing me where the rig was from on ig. Have to say made my day when i sore you replied
Of course 😁🤝
FYI, that clog you’re saying is suede isn’t, that is tobacco brown oiled leather.
Interesting, the darker brown version I have is also the oiled leather and has a totally different look and feel to the leather
@@DrewJoiner Definitely! I went on a Boston buying spree this spring and bought 3 pairs of oiled leather and 1 pair of suede. The tobacco brown is for sure softer and more pliable than the other colors of oiled leather, but the suede is definitely fuzzy and doesn’t keep its shape as much as the oiled leather. I can slip on all my oiled leather ones, but the suede pair is so floppy I have to use a hand to put them on.
Wasn’t trying to be critical - good video overall! Just pointing that out for potential buyers. Also, I think the tobacco brown is my favorite feel of all of them - super soft but not too floppy.
@@yehoshua77 exactly! The tobacco is very very nice! I know you weren’t throwing shade man! I appreciate you commenting haha just some dudes who love birks lmao
Great review Drew 👍
I've second finger longer than the first so i think birkenstock boston are for normal foot with figers line 😞
