I constantly hear people putting down Birkenstocks. All I have to say is: don't knock them until you try them. Just kidding; I have A LOT more to say about this trend. College girls just can't win. Our mothers comment on our shorts being too short and our tops being too low.
However, when we decide to be sensible with our feet, evidently, it offends the whole world. So, if you are one of the many people who do not understand the love twentysomething girls have for Birkenstocks and baggy T-shirts, here is your explanation.
1. They are comfortable
I mean really comfortable! They're supportive, and make across campus walks more bearable.
2. They Last
I've worn my Birks probably more than 250 times and they are still going strong. No, they don't look new, but definitely not old!
3. They're Ageless
Birkenstocks are a good investment. Wear them when you're 20... or 50!
4. They go with EVERYTHING
Dress them up, or dress them down. I mean, dress them any way you would like. They will make the outfit.
5. They have lots of different styles
Birks are really more than just the Jesus sandals... they come in many cute styles and colors. There is something for everyone.
6. Like so many styles... even polka dots!
7. They are helping us become the generation without bunions
Anything but heels, please!
8. They come in women and mens
Match with your boyfriend? Maybe??
9. You can get them repaired
Once the soul wears out, you can get them repaired! BOOM! They look just like new!
10. They go great with big T-shirts and Norts
Lamp-shading is really more than a trend... its a way of life. Birks complete the look.
11. We just like them
At the end of the day, why do you care what we wear on my feet???
