As soon as I heard the line “When comparing to Nike or Adidas” I knew this video was BS. Why you would ever think to compare those shoes with a clog as if you were going to be doing anything athletic in Birkenstocks is beyond me.
The suede does not wear quickly. The darkening is called patina. I’ve had mine 10 years and no repairs needed. The sole does not wear either. I think this might be a problem with how you walk
By Birkenstock's sizing chart a 39 is actually a US size 8-8.5. I wear a US size 6, and Birkenstock/EU size 36. I've personally found them to be consistent across European sizing, all my EU shoes are 36, all US shoes are 6. But I know the conversion can be confusing if you don't normally buy EU shoes.
Love the Boston clog. My first pair. So comfortable. Bought Arizona recently as well. Love them both. No break in time. Perfect fit. Either with socks or without. No difference. Don’t know anyone who thinks they are uncomfortable or not worth it. They last forever.
Granted I own 10+ pairs of Birkenstock sandals, but even with my first pair, I didn’t really have any problems breaking them in. I’ve had my oldest pair for almost 8 years and they still look brand new. We’ll worth the money imo, especially since fashion shoes are not much cheaper than actual birks nowadays
I think the ways in which they are used greatly impacts it's life. You mentioned playing ball in these shoes, with activities like these, any shoe wears out quickly. Birkenstocks were not made to be basketball, nor any sport related shoe.
i think they meant that they arrive at the courts wearing them and change into basketball shoes afterwards, its hard to imagine someone wearing clogs to play ball lol
The oiled leather lasts forever. Suede is softer and easy to break in, if it's the uppers that are giving you a hard time, but the oiled leather will eventually soften up and mold to your foot. The fake leather doesn't break in at all. I always go with oiled leather.
I’ve worn mine almost everyday and it’s still like new. It’s important to invest in taking care of your shoes. I bought suede cleaner and I constantly brush them. Also a water proof spray with help. Just buy products and take care of them lmao
Soft bed is comfortable immediately and doesn’t need to be broken in. The classic foot bed takes a while to break in but seems more comfortable than soft footbed after it’s broken in.
To each their own. I have the Arizonas. Birkenstocks have been popular since I was in middle school and I have never been one to conform to the trends, but I finally got a pair a couple of years ago to see what it’s all about. At first it’s like walking on wood, because your feet have to naturally break them in. So, I started by just wearing them around the house until they began molding to my feet. Once that happened, I wore them out a lot and absolutely love them. It’s like they were made for me, which I think is the goal. It’s the best thing next to being barefoot.
I have a very high arch so they are the only shoes that I can stand in all day. I have found that they are only comfortable for people with high arches. My daughter can’t wear them because she doesn’t have the high arches.
I read that the softbed option is just a way to reach a bigger market. Maybe die hard birkenstock fans want to spend a month going thru hell to break their shoes in, but the average person, who just wants a pair because they are in style, will not.
That’s why they have cleaners out there. You are responsible for cleaning them. Failure to clean your footwear shows your personality. It’s gross not to with any footwear.
Also I‘m curious since you went with the suede pair as well do they come with different beds? I didn’t have mine on very long just walked with them to my car to get to the gym. But in the short period of time I wore them I found them to be the most comfortable shoes that I own. And the opinion of others shouldn’t be a matter reason not to buy them.
@@stockpilenyc5394 Do your’s have softbed? And I think I saw them on you first and then on Kyron and I absolutely fell in love with them so I guess your an influencer now Lmao
Ur so right on I just email Birkenstock with this complaint the clogs do not last more than a few months as the inside glueing is horrible and fall apart when it get wet we all get caught in a rain once in a while.
@@stockpilenyc5394 Well a lot of people don't wash their feet but think 'they will get clean in the shower' so that explains the comments maybe. They are originally designed to be an indoor house shoe. You should never wear them in the rain.
There is no breaking in birkenstocks, ive been wearing them for years. If you have a high arch you will love them, if you dont have high arches you will hate them, simple as that.
but i agree on the soft footbed note, i genuinely cannot find regular footbed for some of my favorite models of their shoes. they're really tryna phase out regular footbed or smth..
paused you at the beginning. I just received my Birk Bostons in the mail today..... interested in seeing what you have to say, and why I shouldn't have bought these. :-D
Making content for contents sake. Contradictory click bait nonsense. I have the regular soft bed Boston suede in gray. Hands down one of the most comfortable shoes I own and look great with denim or shorts. Clearly you don't know how to style them.
Really WISH Birkenstocks didn't have to have this 'one size fits all' footbed! I have flat feet and the footbed does NOT line up with the bottom of my feet. Like I'm walking over some kind of hill. I mean, most shoes don't have/need to have this thing in their shoes. Ugh!!!
Bro you pull up in the court with those type of footwear? Yeah true "wtf" indeed - I don't think it is really meant for it to be worn at those occasions but whatever. I don't know how the hell did you wear your clogs but I have the same exact pair and it doesn't look as bad and dirty as yours.
thank u for the review! i wanted to get the original boston seudes with the soft footbed, but after this i'm reconsidering and might opt for vegan or the oiled slick leather just for the original cork footbed. personally think they're so beautiful and my friends are already clowning me for wanting them but idc...!
Dude did 0 research on Birkenstock’s. #1 brother u just got dirty feet, clean ya feet bro. #2 if you don’t like how the suede starts to look, don’t get suede. #3 it’s European sizing!! No shit it doesn’t fit exactly like it would be in American sizes… I literally bought a pair bc of this video and they my fav shoes
The footbed looks gross because you don't clean them. Don't you clean your other shoes? I bet you do. Clean your Birkenstock shoes. They even make a kit just for cleaning them.🤦
Hater! I have worn mine to weddings, I sleep in them, bathe with them on, have has sex with them on, go to the gym in them, work in them, ran a marathon with them on, etc.
So they get dirty, wear and tear, material stretch and other silly issues like caring what other people think of them.. just clean them often and get leather or something different. This could mostly apply to literally any suede shoe. Not a single actual reason here at all. Clown
@@stockpilenyc5394 but the default footbed birkenstocks are known for being hard and not having padding and only being comfortable after you wear them in, also i dont think theyre overpriced for shoes that ive heard last people a dacade? I don't get it edit: also they are literally orthopedic shoes that are recommended by podiatrists, so i definitely dont think they will damage your feet more than normal sneakers which I assume the commenter wears all the fucking time???
I've had my bostons for 19 years and I must say I love my Birkenstocks. I have several pair and no complaints.
Sheesh , long time !
As soon as I heard the line “When comparing to Nike or Adidas” I knew this video was BS. Why you would ever think to compare those shoes with a clog as if you were going to be doing anything athletic in Birkenstocks is beyond me.
I think Nike and adidas are a good sizing base for most people to compare too since they’ve likely owned a pair of one or the other at some point.
Not sure what your beef is with Birkenstocks, but, they are AMAZING!!!
Ahaha no beef ! I said I still love em just some things to keep in mind
@@stockpilenyc5394 gotcha! Yeah, I love em too!
But you guys are overpaying in the US they are like 60-80€ in Germany. +Workers don't have the best time even tho they produce them in Germany

Definitely the day to day wear effects it. Like the other comment said I just pull up to the courts in em, I don't actually hoop in them ahaha.
@@stockpilenyc5394 they get “gross” like you mentioned bc you wear them to the beach, getting them wet is probably what turns them black
@@stockpilenyc5394 do they slip off easily ? If you run in them or move quickly??

Yeah for sure! I have to try out the classic one but it's a little harder to find now
We used to call these potatoe shoes when I was in school but hey they are comfy and cozy so keep rocking them.

Birkenstocks have been popular since I was in middle school and I have never been one to conform to the trends, but I finally got a pair a couple of years ago to see what it’s all about.

Yes they do have pretty high arch supports!
The high arch support is actually good for a flat foot. I have very low arches and these correct my gait and are very comfortable to wear
I read that the softbed option is just a way to reach a bigger market. Maybe die hard birkenstock fans want to spend a month going thru hell to break their shoes in, but the average person, who just wants a pair because they are in style, will not.
I've had my Arizonas for 5 years and the soles are only slightly warn and the heal, so hopefully the Bostons will be the same
You wear them to the beach and you’re complying that their rough and dirty. 🤦🏻♀️
I don't wear em on the sand ahaha
Why would you wear them to the basketball court?
That’s why they have cleaners out there. You are responsible for cleaning them. Failure to clean your footwear shows your personality. It’s gross not to with any footwear.

I don't see anyone reviewing the Andermatt slippers, do they last as long as other Birkenstock products?
Did you say "its super hard to find the original footbeds"?
Ur so right on I just email Birkenstock with this complaint the clogs do not last more than a few months as the inside glueing is horrible and fall apart when it get wet we all get caught in a rain once in a while.
Yeap! Everyone commenting it's my dirty feet are hilarious. That's just the weird sole, doesn't hold well over time
they aren’t meant to get wet especially if it’s suede

They are originally an indoor house shoe. Only recently people start wearing them outside. You should never wear them in rainy weather.

What color model is this? The taupe on their website?
I agree, the black footprint looks pretty yucky. Do they catch a foot smell too?
Surprisingly no
you are able to clean the inside, ive had 5 pairs and im cleaning them all

Hmm for the most part I don't really clean my shoes. I wear black boots for the most park and like them beaten and ruffled up lol
That sizing is crazy lol i didnt know that. Great video man!
Ahaha I know, I had to return my original pair which was a 7 (my normal size). Appreciate it as always my guy
That’s probably due to the American sizing system. I am a European 42 in Nike sneakers and they fit perfectly
Possibly but I would wear an EU 41 in Nike and 39/38 in these
