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
