Birkenstocks have recently come under scrutiny on the Internet for arguably being the "ugliest" shoes, but they really don't understand the true beauty of Birks. Jesus Sandals, Potato Shoes... Whatever you call them, they're the most comfortable shoes around!
1. They go with any outfit
No wonder they're so popular. Regardless if your style is preppy, sporty or hippie— you can always find an outfit to go with your fave shoes.
2. Something about those ergonomically shaped soles...
My arches are happy, my toes are happy, my soles are happy... my soul is happy.
3. Socks or no socks?
Whatever you choose, rock 'em proud.
4. They're practically begging for an Instagram story feature
Birks are trending on and offline, so no wonder they're Insta-worthy paired next to a field of flowers or some Athens blocks.
5. They're not Chacos
Talk about bad tan lines.
6. SO MANY COLORS
I officially can't say that I don't have any shoes to go with my outfits.
7. Vegan? They have options!
Yes, most Birks are made of leather, but they also provide vegan leather and rubber slides!
8. Unisex styles mean you can steal ya man's shoes
Add to your shoe collection without spending more money? Yes please!

There's a reason why the company's been in business for over 240 years. I bought my first pair in 6th grade and they're still going strong.
10, Functionality over everything
It's so nice to not worry about my feet blistering or rubbing the wrong way when I'm walking around campus. These shoes are legit.
