It's very durable and each and every part can be repair.

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.

My first pair already 5 years, not a lot of cracks but still wearable.

Now total got theee pair, I am die hard red color fans.

Then I just wear it like normal slippers, don't care if it's wet or not, just walk only.

I saw a lot go shoeless and hug their birkens during rain, the what is the point u buy? Shoes should wear like a shoes.

feeling old 

Judging by all above ignorant negative comments, how many of you really owns a genuine pair remains to the question. Sour grapes. If u don't understand and can't afford the high price for such sandals, suggest u to dig some research before making a fool out of yourself.
Regarding the "this shoes meant for indoor" comment, I find it hilarious. No European slippers or sandals are specially made for indoor or outdoor purpose. Just wear it whenever and whenever u like. Birkenstock comfort emphasize on arch. It is design to fit perfectly on your feet. Not for cushioning purpose.

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.

the black matte leather one

Is actually quite good

I dont usually wear the slippers which is quite hard too walk fast, but feels good when you enjoy your walk.

I usualy wears the chef shoes for everyday routine

worth it

selipar and avoid getting it wet.. dafuq

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

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.

WOrth or not it is basically depends on how do you define it. I personally wear Birkenstock and i love it
