I’ve got 3 pair. One pair is from 1997, still holding strong.

They actually have a pretty great work boot that they make.

Other than that, hipsters ruined them

I still wear birkenstocks during the summer. I started wearing them at LSU when it was hot in the 90s and have owned a pair ever since.

Every hipster wears them. If you can't see anyone wearing them, they can't afford $140 boots then.

I got a pair of Birkenstock Bostons (the potato looking ones) with the shearling lining last winter. They are like Uggs without the ghey.

Based on another post in here I looked it up and they are all made in Thailand and China now. After their popularity waned they were forced to shift production. That kind of sucks.

Had a pair of Doc work boots w/steel toes in black and they were the most comfortable I've ever had. Currently wearing Red Wings as I couldn't find another pair of the Doc's when mine got trashed with mud.
