Suede/ Nubuck can look more appealing, but for the longevity of the sandals, a synthetic/thicker leather is better

LOVE the basic TH-cam videos. No frills and tricks and music. Just good content.
Thanks! I'm kind of embarrassed of the quality of this because there's a lot o could improve on but that's in hindsight of course
Will have more Birk videos coming
Thank you. I used to make fun of everyone who wore them and now that my dogs are bad I will give these a shot! I will have to pay max price and try them on in person to make sure I get the right fit!
You. got options too! wide fit, normal, etc. But I've found they're fantastically supportive once they break in
Keep that in mind, it will take a few wears for the cork to start shaping to your foot
So do they help foot pain?
I wear my Birko-Flor for everyday wear and the leather for more formal occasions.
Kids baseball game vs. outting with friends. lol the new Big Buckles are so jazzy!
The bigger buckle looks cool for the gals
@@Striker50_ Absolutely!
I'll be making a good amount of Birk videos soon I have a big shipment cominggg@@Karen.AboutYou
accurate review! am looking for someone who will use the size guide of Birkenstock and you have it!👍
Glad it helped! And remember you could usually order and ship back for free!
In addition to suede shampoo, suede conditioner, a protective spray, suede brush and eraser , none of these maintenance items addresses oil spills (cooking oil, salad dressing, or mechanical oil). For that you need to have Saphir (Avel)Hussard Oil Remover. You may have to apply and set overnight 2-3 times depending how bad the stain is and how much time passed before treating but this stuff works! Shout out to Trenton & Heath TH-cam channel for that tip.
Nice to know for those one off situations 🤙
I prefer the suede upper as I have a lot of foot problems and the oiled leather are too stiff and hard to break in. The suede are comfortable right out of the box and don’t cause any blisters. They aren’t needed any special care and haven’t gotten excessively dirty so I wouldn’t worry about that. They are also not very difficult to put on. Yes they may take an extra second but the comfort is worth it imo.
GREAT input Kathy! People in a similar situation could greatly benefit from your comment
What about Birko Flor ? Will that material cause any blisters???
I have the Arizona oiled leather in habana soft footbed I’m currently breaking in, but I’m jonesing for the Milano which I think is the Arizona just with a h and l/ankle strap. I’m new to Birkenstocks and I’m wondering why I never gave them a try before. Starting to love them.
Nice choice
I have some Milanos I am going to review soon and some other styles as well
I also got some without the footbed to see the difference
Great review! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I love all birkenstock.
I have Madrid,Mayari and gizeh and gizeh is my favorite.
Nice! They're all great choices Julie
chalk or nubuck block? i saw it can be used to take the wax of the "oiled leather" and then vaseline applied to them. Just use the nubuck uppers in house IMO they look sick. I have the oiled ones black for outside, and once broken in, it's like walking barefoot almost, comfort is exceptional. The insole i clean with my nails, might sound sensitive for the day and age we live in, but nubuck sander doesn't even touch it. I am at about the period where i will clean the uppers, i think it has some shoe cream/color from factory on as well, than some water repellant, or wax on it and they call it "oiled" fettleder in german, waxed would be correct in english.
That sounds great! I'd love to see a video on your process. I don't really have much experience for the maintenance for these sandals
Wow, nice pairs.
Thanks I liked them all too!
It might be the cheapest, but I just like the birko-flor the best. Never really been a fan of leather shoes, whatever material this is just feels good.
@@drygnfyre The birko flors are extremely comfortable
@@Striker50_ Yes, I like them a lot. They also seem a little easier to keep clean than leather.
@@drygnfyre yup
What do you think about their faux leather so far? I like their fun colors a lot but I'm hesitant to buy non-leather shoes in general
No signs of wear! I've had them for about 2 years!
@@Striker50_ Thank you for the reply! I might just buy them. I just found out that LVMH bought Birkenstock and now I wanna panic buy couple of pairs just in case something happens with the quality in the future :D
don't fuck with faux = fake leather, just buy the real oiled version wide. It needs attention yearly but the faux on the other hand will go, and when it goes it's done. The real leather is for life just pay the money.
Do you have a link to the faded khaki Suede Birkenstocks that are in this video? I really like the style and like how the buckles are the same color. However I can’t seem to find them anywhere online.
I don't unfortunately. If you look at the 0:58 you could perhaps try Google searching with that item number to see if you could find that particular style. I like to show the product number for those people that see these videos farther into the future like yourself
Great video thanks. Suede are comfortable but if water or other liquid drops there is nothing you can do. Birko floor are more affordable but are not natural leather, oiled are natural leather and there's other missing on the video that are the natural leather (not oiled) both natural or oiled are natural and easy to clean vs the suede. Thank you
Real leather is always the way to go 👌
I spray the suede with a protector and have never had any issues with stains! I do brush them weigh a suede brush every so often too.
@@mmckee23 Suede looks awesome but it gives me anxiety lol
just ask before i buy much better to choose the soft or the regular
The little extra cushion could help absorb a little bit of impact when walking 💥
Ultimately, it's up to which feeling you like more. You could always return for free from Birkenstock website
Hey question, so I’m a size 13 & I ordered the wide/ narrow fit & they’re too big , so should I order a size 12 regular fit or what ?
Are you a size 13 in Birkenstocks or regular shoes?
@@Striker50_ I’m a size 13 in regular shoes
@@yungrinoo Did you tighten the straps down all the way? I'm usually a 12 in shoes, so I went with the 12-12.5 size. The chart even shows me as a 13 but I knew they'd be too loose
The best thing to do is measure yo foot and they have a dedicated website that tells you what size u are
@@ipeeeky how I do that
For the EU 45 you are demonstrating, I would personally size up. You have almost no space behind your heel, when ideally you want a little bit so your heel isn't touching the edge. It also looks like there is some wear on the front edge, so it looks like your toes touch it when moving around. As long as they fit and feel good, that's most important, but generally when between sizes (in this case you mentioned being between 290-300 mm), it's best to size up. In my experience, I've done this and have never had my foot come loose from the heel cup. You do have a bit more spacing all around, but it's fine. Conversely, I've gotten nasty blisters from the sides of my feet and toes touching the edges, because they rub and you get nasty friction burns.
But just my opinion. What works for you is most important.
I personally sized up to the 13 I have in another video and it didn't fit well. It gets much wider in the toe box and fits awkward
@@Striker50_ ah, I see. Did you try a narrow model if available? I think that’s my issue. I am 43 but the length tends to be more than I’d like. A narrow fit might help. Unfortunately the models I like tend to not come in narrow.
@@drygnfyre I haven't tried a narrow honestly
Got Suede. I don’t like them.
I have size 47 M14 and they don’t make them anymore.
I found a store with some old new stock in my size, but they didn’t have the dark brown (Arizona) kind
I had used for 30 years. They did have the suede type so I got them. I got tired of bending
down every time I put them on so I don’t even wear them anymore. I would wear them if the
straps stayed open so I could just slip them on.
Do you know of any way of making the suede stiff so they stay open?
I don’t care if it makes them change color since I just use them around the house.
I was thinking of soaking them in water or painting the straps with spray starch.
Also I was thinking of sewing some tie wrap straps on the tops.
Thanks
Really? That's a bummer. I myself was disappointed as soon as I heard Birkenstock was going public. Shortly after, they of course cut the amount of time you had to make returns. Once a company goes public, they usually lose quality and service.
I was thinking starch myself, or dehydrating the leather in some way. Suede is a looser grain however and I am not a leather expert
Thanks. I was sad too. The people with big feet haven’t gone away. I went to a shoe repair store and they couldn’t repair my old pair. I think they can’t get the size 47 cork part anymore.
@@jh-xk2ch Do you seal your cork every couple of months?
Yes. I got a tube of shoe rubber cement when I got my 1st pair. I have also used contact cement from the hardware store which worked the same and I had a quart of it for wood working.
@@jh-xk2ch Gotta keep them lasting as long as possible, they're investments 🫰
what footbed your prefer? Soft or normal/hard?
The soft is a little more enjoyable for me
Thanks !
Here to help!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Thanks for the video, but how do you clean the soles?
I've seen a few videos on it, but don't remember personally because I don't mind it. I will ask the woman at the shoe repair shop when I go soon just for you
@@Striker50_ I wouldn’t mind either, but yesterday sprite spilled on me and I was wearing my Birkenstocks 😪. Let me know though
@@ja7yden You now have the Sprite editions lmao
The edges of the birkoflor looks like it’s peeling a bit. That’s happened with other fake leather things I’ve had and I was wondering if the birkoflor does the same.
Interesting, I've never noticed it, I'll look at my birkoflor pair closer to see
Nice variety of color ways
Thanks! I liked the grey ones a lot but returned them because they probably would have gotten dirty
@@Striker50_ no way! Those we're my favorite. I have similar ones. Mine are the Lugano Mink suede leather ones. I learned to slip them on fast. It takes skill but they are so comfortable.
Good video 👍
Thanks! Stay tuned I'm going to make about 4 more Birkenstock videos!
Great video, thanks!
Could I pick your brain please?
I’m buying a pair for hubby online, it’s 29cm long, 11cm wide….
His Nikes are always a size 13.
I was thinking a 44 would be perfect… now I’m thinking I need to buy bigger?
I’d really appreciate your advice 😊
If he's a size 13, 13 will probably fit him awesome. Does he have wide feet?
Thanks for watching!
My video editing skills need a bit of improving!! 😅
The Nubuck looks fantastic, but they are too floppy, which ultimately made them my last choice, since I like the rigid structure of the Birko-Flor, or Leather. This rigid structure makes them more like slippers to put on and take off whereas with the floppier Nubuck/suede, you need to bend over to adjust them and put them on. This could be a tripping hazard, or cumbersome for people with limited mobility issues.
Yep
I bought my first Arizona Birko-Flor online. Big mistake as your 1st pair shouldn’t be bought online as you don’t have a basis yet. I bought a size 44…..turned out to be too big so it’s my exclusive “Socks on Stocks” pair. I bought a 2nd pair not long after at the Birkenstock botique where I was able to fit it better. It was a different Birko-Flor Arizona and it’s exclusively used without socks.
Keep in mind you should always be able to return if they don't fit well I really like their return policy
Returning it would have been nice but I bought it from an online shopping app & not the Birkenstock webstore so returning it can get complicated. I live in tropical Southeast Asia so Birkenstocks are essential to looking stylish as well as keeping your hardworking feet comfortable.
@@DudeEM Good points. Keep in mind these aren't really meant for water as it messes up the cork in case you weren't aware
I would like to know your Nike sneaker size in Uk or Us, please.
I don't wear Nikes but My Adidas US size is 12 👌
In my case it 250mm but they don't have 250mm. Should I go for 245mm?
I would rather size up instead of down
@@Striker50_ Thank you
@@ritwikmukherjee131 let me know how it goes 👍
I love that mustard colored pair..
They grew on me! They looked more like a gum tan, but once I got them I was a fan. I have some NFL football looking ones I'm about to review I really like how they look as well
I've read numerous comments that Birkenstock doesn't sell on Amazon but I can find them no problem, are those fake or is it made specifically for Amazon?
It may be that the sellers are third party people, and not Birkenstock being the direct seller.
That of course opens up the possibility for fakes
I personally like to buy them directly from Birkenstock website since they have a great stress-free return policy
Either third party or fake. You should definitely just buy directly from the website. Shipping is like 3-4 days.
@@ravenrobertson1206 Agreed, there's nearly no benefit from buying through Amazon
my feet is about to 265mm . you think size 40 is fit to me like how fit like yours ???
I'm not good at shoe conversion since I'm from the US my friend, but they fit the same size as your running shoes
@@Striker50_ not for shoes , its about to birkenstock . with birkenstock size 40 which is 260mm , you think its fit to 265mm foot length ? like how fit like yours which is almost 300mm foot length then you ordered a size 45 equivalent to 290mm then perfectly fit to you . im confusing which better to me size 40 or 41 . my foot length is about to 265mm but size 41 is slightly lose to my feet ..
@@r3nzki30 yes, sizes are similar fit
Sorry but did you mention the color af the first pair of Arizona?
0:46 Faded Khaki 👍
@@Striker50_ Thanks! Very cool colorway👌
@@Peter_RC agreed! I just knew they'd get way too dirty so I returned them and kept the ochre yellow
@@Striker50_ Yeah, I guess light colored suede is not ideal for everyday use.. I do think that I’ll get a pair anyway, and just use my old ones a everyday beaters
@@Peter_RC Sounds like you take care of your stuff too so you'll be fine 🙌
I wear uk 8 nike Air force 1s what size in Arizona should I buy. Uk 7 or uk 8.. please help me out
1:59
I wouldn't be able to give accurate advice since there are international differences that I'm unfamiliar withvin addition to gender sizing.
I'd say go with the UK 8 since these are more likely to run a little small on the sizing.
Also, see if they have free shipping or any at local stores near you so you can try on and see if you like the fit!
Personally, I keep them strapped to the tightest hole and they fit perfect!
@@Striker50_ thanks 👍
Real nubuk leather - hoes it as compared to oiled , natural , seude ? As regards comfort, maintenance, durability
I would say Nubuck is MORE comfortable because it is softer than the full leather. Maintenance wise, the lighter colors get dirtier easier since it is an open grain. I will be making a video soon showing how to take care of your birkenstocks so stay tuned!
Madam ji can I get this chample's shawl? what is the rate please reply
please reply
subscriber
I'm not sure what you're asking honestly
@@Striker50_ I want to take the material of this chample
I am a size 10.5 in regular shoes what shoes i get birkenstocks.
11 is probably the best size to go with 👍
@@Striker50_ ok, I am prob gonna get the red and black split Birkenstocks
@@Striker50_ thanks for replying even though this vid is made many months before
@@RBEditz.1 of course! That's what I'm here for
i say 9 tbh, i went to Nordstrom to try them on and they were big. I wear 10.5-11 so i got a size 42
Is it ok to get wet in the rain in Birkenstock?
Ideally you want to keep them dry, so no, but getting them wet once or twice shouldnt mess them up
@@Striker50_ has the rain soaked your birko one ?
Only if they are rubber soft ones like this immediately damage
@@sadiakhan6815 does cork sealant help when the birks get wet ?
Birko flor or natural lather??
Can't beat real leather, but the felt inner liner on the birko flor is very comfortable!
I will say the real leather does look slightly more premium
Thanks for the reply…which ls durable and easy to maintain??(not oiled lather just natural lather or birko flor)
@@sivatej982 They both are, the leather will be a thicker cut in comparison to the thinner synthetic birko flor. Both can easily be spot cleaned with some warm water for years to come. You can always use leather conditioner on the real leather to keep them moisturized for years 👍
Add a wooden dowel cut to size to "lock" your sliding door when the cat door is in place. Maybe not necessary if you're home anyway.
I don't have a cat lol
Oh no, wrong video! Haha the hazards of autoplay.
@@fuzzzysock LMAO 👌👌👌
I am just wondering about the colour !!! If the lose the colour ??
I'm not sure what you're asking
@@Striker50_ sorry ,, i mean about the Ochre Color (yellow)
I had a same colour and I noticed that this kind of Color ,,my foot remains stained with yellow after wearing them
@@SvenneBlatten ah yes! They've been fine for me, but they do have somewhat of a residue to them so they'd most likely stain socks o suppose, I don't wear Birkenstocks with socks personally so I haven't noticed
Which color is best bro?
Mannn good question. Depends on your style. If you like to stand out or if you like to wear them with socks, etc
@@Striker50_ actually iam confused which one to taken brown, white, tan
@@delvindevassy I'm not understanding, could you clarify
The colors in this video are black, tan, and grey if that is what you're talking about. I like my Black ones the most @@delvindevassy
@@Striker50_ ok👍
Isn't nubuck, real leather?
It certainly is, however the top layers which are the more desirable, have been removed
Which is the best? Jerusalem sandals
The Jesus 7's
Clean footbed with sandpaper
Unfortunately that destroys the finish of the footbed since it's abrasive
Bro do you have free Berkinstock
No I just have these lol
@@Striker50_ hehe i got scammed by online sellers. I got fake Berkinstock in our country :(
@@ismael6648 Damn Ismael, hopefully it was a learning experience
If it's too good to be true, it usually is
those look one size too big for you
Any smaller and my toes are hanging out LMAO
@@Striker50_ yeah they need more intermediate sizes, like every half size instead of full
I think you need a narrow feet 👣.your foot is too small
@@mehdi6797 They fit perfect honestly
Sorry. Way too much dead air.
Does that mean I'm talking to much?
