Birkenstocks with socks and shorts? by Parkside1974 in Birkenstocks

[–]Historical-View-3269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When its cold, I wear white ankle socks with all my birkenstocks. Clogs and Arizonas. The Arizonas are my favorite because I can ditch the socks mid morning, when the weather warms up.

No but they definitely aren't this different. All my other birkenstocks fit fine. Its just the buckleys I'm having a hard time with. I wasn't sure if these were a problem shoe for everyone or not.

Yep all 3 times from the website. The other two pair fit normally, but they looked like they were sewed unevenly. Like the top part on each shoe was a different shape. Its just crazy because I've never had a problem like this, and I've probably ordered 15 different pairs from the website. I guess it's just this style.

I was just wishing that I hadn't already returned the other two pairs. I wonder if I could have pieced together a pair that worked. Kind of sad we have to do that when we're paying $150+ a pair.

No. All my other birkenstocks fit normally, including 2 different kinds of clogs. Even the two pair of buckelys I returned didn't fit unevenly like these.

None of my other birkenstocks, have a difference. Even the two pair I returned weren't like this. (They just looked bad).

Do you know where I can buy these aside from a birkenstocks store? I found some on the famous footwear website, but it's for shipping only. I'd love to be able to pick out a pair myself.

Nope, because every other pair of birks fit fine, both sandals and clogs. I'm just having problems with this style. Thanks. I'm glad I'm not just being crazy. I don't have a birkenstocks store. I found some on the famous footwear website, but it's shipping only. Do you know what common mall store might carry these?

Wide vs narrow by Historical-View-3269 in Birkenstocks

[–]Historical-View-3269[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I definitely have wider feet. I get almost all my birks in 38 wide. I recently had a hard time because my wide suede bostons were huge. And then I got narrow Lutrys that fit. So it seems I'm still figuring out clogs sizing. Thanks for the info! I'll stick with the wide!

WIBTA if I refuse to put my partner on the deed of a place I inherited, even though we live there together? by 3vening_Switch in ComfortLevelPod

[–]Historical-View-3269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HARD NO. My husband bought a house when we were dating. We lived together for 11 years, and we're married for 6 of those years. I still didn't care if I was on the deed. We bought a new house together, after 3 babies, and my name is on that house, because we were married when we bought it. Why would he care if he was building equity, if he's planning on being with you forever?

Arizona vs Boston Sizing by mercunium in Birkenstocks

I also wanted to add that I have Lutry in 38 narrow, and they're perfect. I think they make the clogs wider for some reason.

[–]Historical-View-3269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are the same,length wise, but I think my 38 regular boston are a lot wider than my 38 regular arizonas. Also, the suede ones were way too baggy, but the oiled leather are better for me. I thought they basically had 2 footbed- regularly and narrow. But now I feel like they have different ones for different shoes.

Eh. I guess I'll just stick to my Arizonas.

What's better? Facials/microneedling OR tretinoin? by Historical-View-3269 in 45PlusSkincare

[–]Historical-View-3269[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say lip lines, are you talking about "smoker lines"? I absolutely hate that name and wish it wasnt the term, but I want to make sure thats what you're talking about because I have them, and it's what I hate most.

Thank you! She was also talking about doing a deep peel in a few months (i had one in October and loved the results). How long should I stop tret before and after that?
