Truly. But not the soft foot bed version. They have both a 2 degree soft bed and a 4 degree hard bed. The soft one felt "off" but the hard version is incredible. The metatarsal support in it is higher and harder, which works unbelievably well with my high arch foot. And the metatarsal support is actually recommended for anyone with bunions as it forces the toes apart a bit which relieves the bunion pressure. Brilliant!&nbsp;</p> <p>Sveta - it wasn't super warm today (I think we reached +15) but my feet have a high tolerance for the cold so it was all good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-with-my-boy/page/2#post-1245344 Thu, 08 May 2014 06:18:02 +0000 catgirl 1245344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Were those Birks custom made for you?&nbsp; Amazing.&nbsp; And hooray for a mother-son day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-with-my-boy/page/2#post-1245337 Thu, 08 May 2014 05:57:02 +0000 goldenpig 1245337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polka dot Birks?

I found it interesting that &nbsp;a mere year or two ago, there is no way DS would be caught with me in the same store, let alone both buy something from the same store. Heaven forbid! But now at 18 he's coming around to the fact that parents are human beings after all - lol! - and we had a blast in this little store showing each other stuff. Most of it is geared towards the younger generation but I did buy a beautiful soft blue/blush/white drape tank that will work beautifully for casual and work wear under a blazer (pic #1), as well as a pair of "cinnamon pink" Vans for summer casual (pic #2). DS bought two fabulous tee's from a brand he really likes and until now, had to order online. When I asked the young male SA if I could try on the tank, he kind of looked at me and so I said "I take it you don't get a lot of the 50 plus crowd trying on your stuff?" and he oh so politely said "not so much, but it's kinda cool you're going to".&nbsp;</p> <p>My Birkies were amazing for walking downtown since we weren't parked anywhere near where we had to go. Oh please….let the Birks trend continue for a while &nbsp;:) &nbsp;:)</p> <p>Thanks for your kind comments on the outfit - I felt like a stylish casual MOTG. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-with-my-boy#post-1244691 Wed, 07 May 2014 18:08:57 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1244691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>right on trend! &nbsp;have a wonderful day with DS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-with-my-boy#post-1244649 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:16:35 +0000 Inge 1244649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huge thumbs up from me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-with-my-boy#post-1244624 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:46:30 +0000 BethL 1244624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I lurves this one, Shannon! One of my all-time faves, which is saying a lot because I like them all so much. You look so happy. Hip and comfy, too. Hope you have a super day. P.S. I just pulled the trigger on white patent Birks. Too bad I couldn't find the polka dots; I wouldn't have minded being your twin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birks-with-my-boy#post-1244622 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:41:07 +0000 Neel 1244622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo LA LA!!
