Well hello again! Welcome back to staff week here on the Birkenstock 365.
Did I say staff week? For today I mean ‘most-of’ staff week. Meet Pattie, er, meet Pattie’s torso. Pattie is our lovely Director of Sales Operations and, as you can see, THIS WOMAN KNOWS HOW TO DRESS. And accentuate with matching color. She’s is the pinnacle of fashion here in the Birkenstock USA LP office. We’re all taking notes, Pattie.
Two more days left in staff week here on the 365! Tune in for another gem tomorrow.
Tread Lightly,
Aaron
p.s. For all you ladies out there, this photo was taken weeks ago, BEFORE we sent off the Monkey Bag to the lucky winner. Sorry to get your hopes up!

Welcome back to staff week here on the Birkenstock 365!
Ok ok, I cheated a little on this one. Before you call the authorities on us, this child does NOT work here at Birkenstock. But her Mom does! Meet mini-Tina everyone, the daughter of my very own boss. Ok, her name’s not ACTUALLY mini-Tina but for the sake of privacy that’s what we’re calling her today.
HAVE A LOOK AT THOSE PINK ARIZONAS! Also, head-to-toe matching outfit FOR THE WIN. If only most adults had this kind of fashion savvy.
Tune in tomorrow for yet another ’staff week’ featured photo!

Aaron

Hello! Welcome back!
It smells like barbeque in here. Oh wait, that’s Mitch. You guys all remember that we promised a ’staff week’ here on the Birkenstock 365 this week, right? Well, meet Mitch, our Director of Sales. This fine young gentleman likes long walks in his Arizonas, and candle lit Italian dinners paired with aged red wine. And by ‘candle lit Italian dinners paired with aged red wine,’ I most nearly mean ‘barbeque and Corona.’ The walks in his Arizonas remain a constant, however. Sorry ladies, someone picked this peach already.
Stay tuned for another staff photo first thing tomorrow morning!

Good morning everyone! Welcome back to the Birkenstock 365. Heck, welcome TO the Birkenstock 365 if you’re just joining us for the first time today, methinks there might be a few of you stragglers out there.
We hope everyone’s Friday is as sweet as this orange. In no time that orange will be replaced by the similar hue of a pumpkin. Even in California here, it’s starting to cool off a bit. What are your favorite Fall activities? Take your Birkenstock clogs along for the ride? Please! Share them with us. Snap a couple photos, be featured here on the Birkenstock Blog. You never know when a photo contest is right around the corner…
Have a safe and entertaining weekend!

Aaron

Hey everybody! What’s the good word?
Look closely at this photo. Notice a difference between the left and right feet? Curious tan lines perhaps? You’d think this person had been wearing toeless socks for the last few months. Fortunately, this guy slipped their feet into their favorite pair of Birkenstock sandals as soon as they had THEIR CAST REMOVED! Congratulations and thank you for coming back to us so quickly.

Welcome back to the Birkenstock 365 everyone!
Today’s photo reminds be of being at late summer/early fall parades. Maybe a Thanksgiving parade? No no, much too early for that, we still have to get through all of October and Halloween. Maybe I’m just craving Mom’s home cooked dinner. Either way, does this shot remind anyone else of something? Share it with us in the comments.
We’re still gathering photos to feature for next week’s ’staff week’ here on the 365. It should be a doozy. Until then,
Tread Lightly,
Aaron

And just like that, it’s Fall. Thanks everyone for sticking with us. Shall we venture together through piles of leaves and sit down for the occasional hot chocolate? Yes, I thought so, glad we can agree.
I hate to say it but, I told you we’d be posting more photographs of people sporting their Bostons in the coming days. Today is no exception. An old pair of Bostons, such as the ones pictured here, are pretty hard to beat. It’s like giving your feet a hug all day long. Really, try it.
See you tomorrow?

Aaron

Happy Monday y’all! Thanks for coming back to the Birkenstock 365.
Who says Monday’s have to be lame when you can start yours off with a sassy photo like the one above? Look at ALL. THAT. COLOR. I’ve admitted before that socks with Bostons… COOL. We’ll be featuring more of the Bostons as the Fall days envelop us and the days cool off a bit.
Do you have shots in your favorite Birkenstock clogs or shoes? Share them with us in the flickr pool. Maybe you’ll be featured on the Birkenstock blog someday too!
Next week is staff week here on the 365, we’ll be featuring photos of our lovely team here at Birkenstock. So, for all you retailers out there, you just might get a sneak peak at the person on the other end of that phone line. Until then…

Aaron

Welcome back! The Birkenstock 365 is now a full 65 business days into its existence. We hope you’re enjoying it as much as we are. You guys have donated some amazing photos and we’d like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU! 300 more days to go, we have so much left in store for you.
Someone answered my call for a bicycle themed photo, thank you so much. As promised, we’re featuring it today to wrap up ‘Bike Week’ here on the Birkenstock 365. A great shot of a road bike in motion. Additionally, I’m not sure if we’ve featured many photographs of people wearing Spartas.
We hope to have some more themed weeks in the near future, so keep your cameras at the ready. Thanks to all who donate!

Aaron

HellllooooOOOOOOOooooo again! (Psst, that was the sound ‘hello’ makes as we ride by on our trusty 10-Speeds).
Today’s selection displays a series of bikes in front of a Birkenstock store deep in the Netherlands. Though I’ve never been, rumor on the street is that bicycling in Amsterdam is as ubiquitous with their culture as apple pie and Americans. WANT TO GO!
Guys, I need at least ONE more bicycle related photo in the flickr pool ASAP! I fear we won’t have one to feature tomorrow so here’s your sure fire way to get featured on our blog. Please donate!
Tread Lightly,
Aaron
