I'm Team Birkenstocks. I absolutely love my Birks. They're my favorite shoe and basically the only shoe I wear in the warm weather. I wear mine so much I always have a Birks tan line on the top of my foot.
I know some people hate Birks and prefer Chacos, but here are some reasons that Birks > Chacos.
1. Easy to put on
Birks can be easily slipped on while Chacos have all those straps to slow you down.
2. More fashionable
Birks match well with anything kind of outfit and have neutral colors. Chacos would look weird with a dress...
3. Comfort
I've never personally tried Chacos for a long period of time, but I can definitely tell you that Birks can be worn for hours and your feet will not hurt. I wore mine in Nashville for 5 days straight and had no problems, even after days of walking around.
4. Price
Depending on the type of Birks/Chacos, the price will vary. But, most Birks are around $90 while Chacos can reach into the $100 range.
5. Colors
Birkenstocks have a much better color selection. Like I said earlier, these shoes match literally anything you may be wearing. Chacos has patterns that can be hard to match.
6. Look
TBH, Chacos look like something I wore when I was 5/6 years old...
