i used to laugh at my college mates who wear them (because i was only buy shoes from adidas and nike warehouse sales, slippers oso wear fipper only)

then one fine day i decided to buy a Birkie Gizeh

fk this shit i'm never wearing shoes on casual trips outside ever again, they're the fking best.

rly lazy to even wear socks these days thanks to how comfy birkies are.

durable mer?

I tot some /k expert say need maintenance. Cannot kena water. Some even say due to our hot weather, not gam. Need apply what oil to make the wooden won't crack bla bla bla...

durable i would say yes, any worn out part can most likely repair. But one thing I do not like is that after some time it will turn black brown (the sole, from stepping on it with ur feet sweat)

i think midvalley, but quite small

yes, gf lived in netherlands, marketplace got sell, less than RM200 can get dy. 

kena air----like sponge

but

if hot weather, the cork base will dry out and shrink/crack/disintegrate, so need to apply cork sealant

last time i bought one.. feel worth it..

now... buy teva better...

at least no need care so much...
