Birk Shaming

Birkenstocks are back, y’all. They’re back?!?! The horror, THE HORROR! At least that’s the tune I was singing just a couple months ago…

Since Birks started popping up everywhere, I had been doing some major Birk shaming. I didn’t like them in the 90s and I was sure as hell not going to budge a decade later, but something about the hippy loving shoe got to me this time around. As ugly as they are (let’s be honest), they are pretty sensible footwear, especially for moms. The comfort factor alone turned me around on this trend, and y’all know how I feel about comfortable shoes. It trumps all. I picked up my look-alike pair from Zulilly of all places, because as comfortable as they are, I wasn’t willing to pay full price for these puppies. And I have to say, I kinda dig ‘em.

While my stance on Birkenstocks might have faltered, I stand firm about Crocs. Just say NO.
