the plastic ones are ghastly

birkenstocks rock. best sandals out there. they've got the market corned on "comfortable, high quality sandal for people that don't care if they look like nerds." dads, hippies, etc. but now they're actually considered stylish and i see them everyone.

who tf is wondering why birks are still around? they are more popular than ever.

What's the issue with Allen Edmonds?

I have some from about 15 years ago that I still wear sometimes.

They’re just not that good quality or stylish. The Charles Tyrwhitt of shoes. Alden is more expensive but way better and worth it.

except for shell, don't see the point of Alden. they make a lot of clunky looking shoes and a lot from resurfaced leather. for the same price i can get something brit or italian that's nicer.

AE is okay quality, at an okay price, with strong distribution. in a lot of places the nicest dress shoe you can get. bought a pair of black Park Aves earlier this year because i was in a third tier city and needed something i could wear with black tie on very short notice.

White people can be fiercely loyal to weird things. Until they become devastated economically and stop caring and the brands have to fend for themselves

Dr Martens killed their English production 20 years ago and moved to China

The made in England ones I had in high school were decent quality. The made in China ones I got in college were shit

you have a handful of hoodies, tshirts, and sweats that you rotate only when your mom mentions you're starting to stink.
