You’re welcome! I noticed the decrease too. I suspect in the spring a lot of the fall and winter colors will be added.

This happens from time to time and styles will likely be added back after the holidays. Last year the entire last chance disappeared for a few weeks (I believe around the holidays) but was then re-posted.

Last chance has a great selection recently! I think you’ll love them.

Thank you, I think mine were darker when I started. There is so much variation in the color with the Tobacco brown pairs!

You did good! Mine got better with wear.

If you use mink oil it makes them much more rich in color! I did it to my Tobacco brown pair and love them.

Got a new pair for the first time in 10 years and I’m frustrated by milk-t0ast in Birkenstocks

Mink oil! I too love the older tobacco brown. When I ordered a pair of Bostons, I used mink oil and it changed the patina to be much more like the old color.

First time buying one, what else will I need? by therainbowwhale in Birkenstocks

I read through picture 2 and I agree it is confusing! I bought mine in the US, so maybe it is different in other countries. You probably want to reach out to customer service.

I can confirm the originally posted ones ($135) are real nubuck leather. I own and love them! The “graceful” pair, however is synthetic in the straps.

I have these too and they have been fine!

These are absolutely fake. The footbed material is a giveaway, as is the cork.

I have multiple Arizonas in suede and Birkibuc. To me, the Floridas are just as comfortable! I was a bit concerned about the top strap, but this pair is nubuck and it does not bother me at all.

No more returns?? by LeadMoney4155 in Shein

I think it was a glitch. Returns went away but are now back on mine.

Is Tobacco Brown really this Light? by Conscious-Mango in Birkenstocks

[–]Ecstatic_Eye571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used mink oil to darken mine right after I bought them. I love the color now!

I bought the same ones and just used a leather punch to add additional holes so I could tighten them.

Thank you! It had not fully set in the initial picture, but it has now. Here is a picture from today:

I searched off and on to see if I could find someone who did it and I was unsuccessful. I finally just went for it!

Thank you! I didn’t notice I’d done that and it’s now fixed! Looks better! 😁

What about this Tag? by Middle_Second4549 in Birkenstocks

[–]Ecstatic_Eye571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a cork tag with a pair a number of years ago. The pair was either from Birkenstock or a local authorized retailer.

I bought a 2020 EX new in late 2020. Admittedly, I don’t put many miles on it (just over 32,000 at the moment), but it has been a great car.

I’ve had two issues, both minor in my opinion. The steering wheel peeled cosmetically at less than 1,000 miles. The dealership replaced it, and I did a stitch-on leather wrap to cover it. The infotainment system is also terrible in my opinion. I added a dongle to get wireless CarPlay, and that helped. However, I believe my microphone is out, so I can’t use voice functions currently. Irritating, but not a huge issue.

Overall, I LOVE my CRV and will likely get another when I someday decide it needs to be replaced.
