I've been wearing Birkenstocks for 25 years - however, I think I just purchased my 4th or 5th pair. YES! They last a long time ... like about 7 or 8 years.\nI mostly just wear them around the house ... with occasional walks to the local store ... or into the garden. \nI resisted getting this last pair - for a whole month ... but I'm addicted. While swimming in Okanagan Lake last month ... my Birks were stolen from the beach. (I'd don't blame them ... Birks are awesome. I should be more careful!) . I went a whole month without them ... and even completed a marathon while they were gone. \nBut then my feet were so ... unhappy. Then I got knew Birks, and my happy feet back.\n\nMy wife and kids have been purchasing our Birkenstocks here for years. It is a bit of a crazy poorly kept store ... but hey ... Birkenstocks and futons are hippy like ... so the store should be hippie like, right?\n\nThere is good parking in the back."^^ . . "0"^^ . .
