This gem looks like it could have been taken in 1968, especially given the Beatles records and the ancient pair of Birkenstock sandals. I have a soft spot in my heart for vintage records, and vintage Birkenstock footwear. They seem to go so well together in this picture (which was actually snapped back in July of 2009).
We need your photos! If you have any great snappers of your favorite Birkenstock sandals, you in your favorite pair, or even your pet with your favorite pair add them to the Birkenstock 365 flickr pool here.

It’s been a little while since we’ve seen our old friend Tawny the Cougar. It looks as if she’s come back to show us what she’s been doing all Winter, collecting Birkenstock sandals and clogs! With Spring just a couple short weeks away we’re hoping Tawny gets the opportunity to wear them all. Fittingly, they all seem to match her orange fur.
We’ve got a few great pics from the Soles4Souls distribution event last Friday to share with you all. Stay tuned!

Most ideal weekend photograph, OR, most ideal weekend photograph? Yet another great shot of a pair of Cozumels, this time as seen in Mexico.
We’re gearing up for a visit today from our friends at Souls 4 Soles! We’ll make sure to snap a couple pictures of our own to share with you guys next week. It’s pretty exciting around here. Then later today we’ll be visiting them at an event in Union Square in San Francisco.
We hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.

Here’s another awesome shot from Malaysia and by the looks of things the mounted security doesn’t move much throughout the day. Unless one were to cross that red line, then who knows. Either way that horse is on his/her feet all day, at least it has some shade. It could probably also benefit from an equine version of the Birkenstock footbed but, alas, there is none. At least ONE person in this photograph was wise enough to sport her favorite pair of Madrids. We salute you.

Malaysia! Another worldly location we’re spotting our sandals in. We certainly hope you’re traveling in your favorite pair of Birkenstock footwear. And taking pictures to prove it.
Please, if you have any shots of you in your favorite Birkenstock sandals, send them to contact@birkenstockusa.com or add them to our public flickr pool here.
We’re always looking for interesting submissions to feature here on the Birkenstock 365. And we might be gearing up for another contest soon so get those cameras ready.

This Friday (March 5) we’ll be welcoming Soles4Souls to our offices as they stop by to visit and pick up some donated shoes in their traveling RV.
Soles4Souls is a Nashville-based charity that collects shoes from the warehouses of footwear companies and the closets of people like you. The charity distributes these shoes free of charge to people in need, regardless of race, religion, class, or any other criteria. Since 2005, Soles4Souls has given away over 7 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes (currently donating one pair every 9 seconds.) The shoes have been distributed to people in over 125 countries, including Kenya, Thailand, Nepal and the United States.
We regularly hold “recycle your shoes” events to aid Soles4Souls, and this week we’re encouraging all our employees to bring in gently worn shoes for donation.
And we’ll post pictures of the event on Friday!
You can find out more information on Soles4Souls on their website and follow their roving RV across the country on their blog.

It happens, doesn’t it? Is it possible to love something too much? Nah, we didn’t think so either. This is another little ditty from our friends over at Mountain Soles in Portland, OR. They indicate on the flickr page this picture is hosted on that this is a pair of Arizonas BEFORE recraft. Ladies and gentlemen, your Birkenstock footwear could look this bad and STILL be brought back to life.
If you’re in Portland, we highly recommend getting into see Matt and crew at Mountain Soles for your footwear repairs.
It’s nice to see people out there love our footwear this much. Share your worn Birkenstock sandals, clogs or shoes with us here.
Tread Lightly,
Aaron
