i fate all this fad fashion
always laughed at my cousins for wearing such shits
but on one sunny day, i tried my cousin's pair and was overwhelmed by the comfort of birkinstock
i love them so much i got another pair for my hands. the only downside is cannot wear it when driving.

selipar and avoid getting it wet.. dafuq doh.gif

now ayam understand why some ppl hold the birken in their hands and walk barefooted on rainy days.

initially i cannot fathom why ppl spend so much on such ugly pairs of selipar.. knowing about this water issue ayam lagi speechless..

anyways, birkenstocks are one of the easiest way to differentiate a malaysian from singaporeans here in SG laugh.gif

Someone Forward me this thread.. So here I am.

I used to think Birkenstock is so expensive. And I don't think I will get them..

But after I start selling ORIGINAL Birkenstock since 2015 (until now still selling) Hahaha.. I get to know the sandals in details and when they launch the EVA version .. EVA is very popular and So I've decided to get a pair of Gizeh EVA Red Color.

Why I decided to get them?

1. I sell Birkenstock so I think I should try them so I will know how it really feels to wear them

2. My old cheapo slippers spoiled very fast. All those Rm10 slipper spoil in few months.. yea I had problems with shoes -.- So I wanna try invest on a pair of slipper that will last longer.

3. My feet is sweaty and I can't wear those leather, cork or cloth type shoes/slipper. I need to wear those material that won't get smelly.

4. Since EVA is rubber and it can be wash.. can kena water and won't get smelly.. EVA is what I need.

So once I got my Gizeh Eva Red color.. On the 1st wear I could feel that it is very comfortable! I wear it with any clothes.. feeling cool at the same time.

[attachmentid=8399677]

I wore it for a year until 1 of my customer wanna buy my red pair.. sleep.gif I had to sacrifice my Pair because Red color was out of stock and she really want it and coincidencely same size with me..and my pair was still in very good condition so she agreed to get it in 2nd hand price.

But after I sold out the red color.. I got another pair of Gizeh Eva pink color instead and I've been wearing it until now.. Happy feet~!

[attachmentid=8399647][attachmentid=8399678]

-------------

Anyway for those that afraid the shoe will get smelly and the Sole will turn black... Don't worry if u get EVA that won't happen.. haha.. only the cork type will. Oh but the EVA wordings at the sole will be dissapear after sometimes wearing depend on the feet.. Due to sweats and feet rubs again the sole.

Yes, it is very durable. My first pair i wore it for 4+ years and the tread still got 75%. Now my 2nd pair already near 2 years. At first u will feel uncomfortable and a bit of hotness due to the cork, but after awhile it will be very comfortable and you wont go for other type of slippers. Trust me, it worth every penny of it.

First pair 6 years, 2nd pair 3rd.

Both still wearable.

I owned 5 pairs of them. They are very durable, and they are meant for indoor. You can of course wear it anywhere you like, even go diving with it. Your money, your sandals. That thing is not designed for outdoor due to the non-existence cushioning and the material used. I lived in where it is made for more than a decade. and yes, there are sandals deigned for indoor and outdoor.

Mine tahan for 7-8 years liao!!!

one way to take care of this slipper is avoid getting it wet, that would spoil the birkie

treat ur birkie like a nice leather shoe but in a casual wear

flipflop r more for the wetmarket, beach and etc

just like ur clothes, u need a pair of flipflop for different occasion and birkie for another different occasion

NEVER CHOOSE TO WEAR BIRKIE WHEN IT IS RAINING OR WHEN U KNOW IT WILL MOST LIKELY GET WET

mine lasted for 7-8 years and counting. the soles grip is still good

i'm those who don't wear slipper or sandal since i was in secondary school. Solely shoes. I have been doing this for the past 10years.

but ever since i tried on birkenstock for the past 2 years, now i'm wearing it for most of the time/ocassion. Trust me, it is expensive but worth every penny of it.

Buy for the comfort not just bcoz it is birkenstock.

My friend said he wear one day only at the inside already turn black, bcs he sweats a lot? True

If this happens what to do? Once it turn black cannot become brown back??

Birkenstock is meant to be wore in door. They are very comfortable especially walking on carpet. This thing doesn't cost that much in its home country. When sampai malaysia jadi mercedez and every retard is wearing them outdoor not because they have the best cushion, but to show off that they can afford birkenstock.
