The question of whether or not I should get another pair of Birkenstocks continues to pop into my head. I keep going back and forth trying to decide if I really need a pair? Or if I’m just inspired by the pretty pictures and outfits I see of them on Pinterest. I had a pair of purple suede Birkenstocks back when I was like in the 6th grade, I remember wearing them a ton and enjoying them, they were easy to slip on and off. If my memory serves me correctly I may have even rocked my purple suede Birkenstocks with a pair of overalls, which is funny now because some of the pictures I see online are of people wearing overalls and Birkenstocks. Am I getting old enough to see trends circle back from the past? I guess so.

Like all things in life I’ve found that people have very strong opinions one way or another on this style of shoe, it’s either a hard yes wear them or a set no way don’t even think about it kind of no. I get that some things should be locked away and never brought back (mullet haircuts and dresses) but with these I’m just not sure, for now I’m on the fence.

I’d love to know what you think about this style of shoe and if you plan to get yourself a pair of Birkenstocks? They’re great for summer now being able to wear them barefoot, dare I even ask if people will continue to wear these into fall with socks?

Here are a few styles of Birkenstocks I’m interested in:
