Birks Shoes Views

• Shoes

I started wearing Birks when my joints became significantly painful and started making audible clicks. In a choice between orthopedic shoes and surgery, the ugly shoes win hands down. I went to a pedorthist and luckily found that my feet fitted a standard last and that I wouldny’t need to pay extra for custom shoes or custom orthotics. Hence, the Birks. I do have 2“dress,” Birks in standard black and brown leather, but most commonly wear the flexible plastic closed-toe clogs at work because I work in a medical lab, and the plastic clogs can be swabbed down in 10% bleach should tissue or blood land on them.

I was anti-Birks until I turned 30 and realized everything from the knees down hurt a little bit too much after standing in 4-inch heels all day. So I caved and started wearing the Gizehs as commuter shoes in the summer and patent black Dansko clogs in the winter. New York is an unforgiving place for your joints.

I love my birks. I have the sparkly Sydney Papillo silver ones and they look great with everything. I recommend that line because the footbed is softer than the traditional birks. They make me feel super cute and look great with jeans or dresses. I also have brown ones with thin straps. I never liked the traditional birk style, though. But seriously? I have never, ever worried about what my ankles look like in them. I have some serious joint and muscle pain when I wear bad shoes, so I don ’t. Not weeping from foot pain is pretty sexy.

So, I am kind of confused by this post. I am not one to comment, in fact, this is the only blog I have every actually followed, but I find your attitude a contradiction of your goal with this whole project. I don ’t wear Birks personally, but my definition of irresponsible shoes is something that is going to destroy your toes. I see a lot of 19 and 20 year old girls with feet that look like vulture talons from being forced into tiny high heels. In my opinion, that is fugly. I guess your point is that if everything can be beautiful, everything can also be fugly? Or is it only shoes with you? That doesnp’t seem to get us anywhere. Maybe someone should start a blog called &“Wear the Damn Birksk”. Did I miss something?
