Helena- I was on the fence about the suede, but I’m enjoying the depth it adds to the color. Firecracker- I was bummed about the clogs, but the Birks made up for it completely. Viva- you have clogs made local to you? Do they ship? viva on "Chunky shoes, a keep and a return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chunky-shoes-a-keep-and-a-return/page/2#post-2208061 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 20:57:49 +0000 viva 2208061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the clogs!!! I can't wear Birks sadly but love those too. A local leather worker sells handmade clogs and I always stop to admire the gold and silver ones - they are so gorgeous, like these.

It’s a fun color! Shevia- The Birks are so perfect for you! I love how the graphic simplicity of turn works with your style. Sal- your white Birks are a great book end for your hair.

I don’t have fussy feet, and don’t mind a good quality leather that needs breaking in, but these were almost brittle, they were so stiff. FashIntern- My current Dansko’s are colorful, for sure. And one of my most commented on pair of shoes.

I need the wider/regular width, and a lot of the retailers (Nordies, Zappos) only carry the narrower width in the fun colors. That said, I didn’t see this color available anywhere else. You can always use another pair of Birks- especially since your pedi game is so strong!

Where did you find these ? I have them in a pale blue suede with burnished gold buckles , but could easily find room for the teal ! Cute clogs but I think you’ve made a good decision in not keeping them .

I had a couple pairs of Troentorps, about two decades ago, but have been a dedicated Dansko wearer ever since. These floral metallics are currently in my closet. With clogs having a fashion moment, I can’t resist trying to add a traditional wooden soled pair again.

That strap design looks like it has promise for longer toes. It was fun to read all your Birk blog posts going back to 2014. Modern classic for sure.

A bit of shine on my toes to match the “sparkle” in my hair. kkards- I’m adding Sven to my list. Which heel height did you get? Your patent clogs are great! Bijou- thanks! Comfortable and casual was something I needed to add, now that it seems that my work life will be hybrid home/office going forward. Nikki- glad you like the color! Various shades of teal and turquoise always catch my eye.
