The Birkenstock Blog

Happy Friday everyone! We hope you all have safe and sound weekend plans for your favorite pair of Birkenstock sandals, shoes or clogs.

Welcome to our 100th day of the Birkenstock 365! We thought we’d celebrate with a pair of Gizeh Jewelery sandals. We also thought we’d celebrate by giving one lucky Birkenstock 365 reader a FREE PAIR OF SANDALS!

So, Birkenstock fans, here’s your charge:
- Take a photo of yourself wearing your most worn, most loved, and most beat-up pair of Birkenstock sandals.
- Email us the photograph and a brief paragraph about why you deserve to be our lucky winner to: contact@birkenstockusa.com
- Wait patiently, the winner will be announced NEXT FRIDAY.

Happy reading, everyone. Thank you so much for sticking around with us.

Tread Lightly,

Hello and welcome back to the 99th day of the Birkenstock 365 project!

Today we’re bringing back the socks vs. no socks debate. This person is wearing a colorful pair of Zurichs to match that sweet shirt and socks combo.

Take this email I received from my very own Mother yesterday into account before you take one side or the other:
“God help me I am wearing socks with Birkenstocks today. HOWEVER: they are pink/purple/turquoise stripey socks and I’m wearing the pink shoes. It all coordinates with my turquoise pants, purple shirt and magenta sweater. And that glass bead necklace and earrings I have that include all those colors. I am a veritable vision of loveliness and if you could see my toenails, you would see that they also match. xoxo Mom”
Now, thoughts? Need me to post the photo she sent too?

P.S. pay attention to tomorrow’s post, 100 days of the Birkenstock 365 is cause for celebration.

Morning, Birkenstock fans!

Today’s featured photograph is just a little confusing and a little awesome all at the same time. While the jeans and the socks pretty much give away the fact that this gentleman isn’t actually working out in this photograph we’re left wondering why, then, would one photo their Bostons in a weight room? Thoughts? Ideas? Bueller?

Two more days til we reach 100 Birkenstock 365 photos! Add a cool photo to our flickr pool and yours just might be selected to celebrate.

Good morning Birkenstock fans!

Here’s a surefire way to have your photographs featured on the Birkenstock 365: photoshop them a la the picture above and make them look great. Featured here are a pair of Gizeh Emerald Stones Oiled Leather and the instant classic Gizeh Black Patent Birko-Flor. What a neat photograph.

Anyone else out there have photo altering skills? Care to prove it by adding your creations to our Birkenstock 365 flickr pool? We’d love to see them and, like I said, you’re almost guaranteed your own day here on the blog.

Tread Lightly,

Aaron

Good morning everyone, happy Monday, happy November, heck happy Movember!

Today’s photo selection comes to us from my old hometown of Portland, OR. We’ve featured work from Mountain Soles here on the 365 once before. This Gizeh appears to have been completely recrafted, using a replacement footbed, cork and a neat purple EVA Birkenstock sole. Click through the photo to have a look at some of their other work, they do it well.

We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Halloween weekend!

Happy Friday, Birkenstock fans. We hope you’ve all got something to look forward to this weekend.

Today we thought we’d stick with the same theme we went with yesterday. With just a *spash* of color. Simple is beautiful.

Have you any Halloween plans? Birkenstock sandals can be worn for more than just your hippie costume, you know. Parents, take note that your Birkenstock footwear will be the most comfortable thing you can wear while door-to-door’ing it with your kids on the hunt for some candy. Take pictures!

Donate your Birkenstock related photos here for your chance to be featured on our blog, facebook, and twitter accounts.

Ciao Birkenstock fans!

Beauty in simplicity is the theme for today. Sometimes a well-worn pair of Birkenstock sandals is all you need to crack a smile. Just looking at them can bring about associations with comfort, memories, and an easy pace. This pair of Arizonas might best be described as perfectly seasoned and their lucky owner is destined for a healthy gait and a certain hop in his step reserved only for Birkenstock fans.

Good morning everyone. Er, afternoon? Either way, helloooooo!

Seen here is a fantastic shoe repair store on the infamous Haight St. in San Francisco, California. The innards of this repair shop make it look as if it’s been in business for a hundred years. And how cool is that sign!? ‘Birkenstock, Welcome!’ Heck, I’m almost obligated at this point to remind all of you that Birkenstock sandals are completely renewable and repairable at your local authorized repair shop.

For a neat photographic look into the process of repairing a badly worn pair of Birkenstock sandals, have a look here at what Mountain Soles in Portland, Oregon did to this pair of Milanos.

Hello everybody! Thanks for coming back to the Birkenstock 365 for yet another peep into what your fellow Birkenstock fans are doing with themselves.

You’ll let me know if I ever duplicate any of these photographs on the blog, won’t you? We’re nearly a cool hundred days into this venture and I’ve been asking myself if I’ve posted any of these pictures before during the selection process.

While there’s nothing too exciting about today’s selections they both represent things I wish I had been up to this last weekend. Here’s to riding on boats and looking at kelp on the ocean beach!

Think you’ve got something a little more exciting? A photo of your cat wearing your Birkenstock sandals? Grandma wearing a pair as earrings? Please! Get a hold of us and donate them on flickr, twitter, or facebook.

Hey there, Birkenstock fans. Welcome back to the Birkenstock 365!

Feast your eyes on another pair of Londons. Fallen logs sold separately. Did I tell you about these shoes already? Because they’re great. Like a more formal clog, complete with all the comfort you’ve come to know and expect from Birkenstock. I’m starting to think I need to pick up my first pair of Londons for all of the Fall/Winter evening events there are to attend. Dinners, plays, holidays… AHHH this might be the best time of year.

Aaron
