8 Reasons You Should Own At Least One Pair Of Birkenstocks

Birkenstocks have become more and more popular within the past few years, and I must say I could not be happier. Whether it’s summer, fall, winter, or spring, Birkenstocks are literally always my go-to-shoe. Sure it’s an opinion that they’re the best shoe ever, but let’s be real - who on earth would hate this shoe?

1. They are literally the easiest shoe to accessorize with:

You can wear them with jeans, shorts, capris, sweats, literally everything! There are so many different colors and styles to go with every single outfit known to man.

2. Even if you only have one pair, there are still so many options you have.

Whether it’s socks or no socks, you’ll still be stylin’.

3. That arch support though--


Call me a weirdo, but when you can find a shoe that aces every single category including arch support, you might as well sign me up! It’s so courteous of them to think that much of our arches.

4. Also, they form to your feet! I REPEAT: FORM TO YOUR FEET!

How cool is that? Once you’ve worn in your Birkenstocks, there is no lie when saying that they were literally made for you because they were! The leather forms to your feet, allowing for maximum comfort.

5. Having fake Birks is basically just waiting for someone to call you out as a poser.


Okay, most likely no one will say anything to you, but look at how much more Birkenstocks do for your feet (see points three and four). Fake Birkenstocks do none of that; impostors also have low traction, like come on…

6. If you’re crazy enough, you’ll turn them into a year round shoe

Rain or shine, sleet or snow, you’ll probably be finding yourself wearing Birkenstocks despite the weather. Oh no, my feet will freeze in the snow?? Who cares, ‘cause Birkenstocks.

7. You’ll find yourself wanting to wear them everywhere despite the occasion.

I’d be lying if I told you that my friends didn’t have to tell me I can’t wear Birkenstocks during certain events. This includes things such as hiking in three-foot tall snow or the simple “fancy” occasion - they just don’t understand the Birks lifestyle.

8. At the end of the day, you’ll probably feel better just leaving them on

Let’s be real, they’re probably better than your actual feet…

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
