As much as we love summer, it's hard not to be excited that fall's just around the corner as well. After all, who doesn't love pumpkin spice lattes, Saturdays spent apple picking, and long leisurely walks under the beautiful fall foliage? However, loving this transitional time of year is one thing. Successfully dressing for it is another. Choosing the right shoes can be especially tricky.
Thankfully, this time of year represents the best of both worlds, so your options are wide open. It's not as hot as it was during the height of summer, but temperatures are still balmy enough for sandals and other footwear favorites. Birkenstocks, in particular, are considered the casual footwear favorite, and it's not hard to see why. The following are just a few reasons why we don't want to wear anything else as we transition from summer to fall.
1. There's no beating Birkenstocks when it comes to comfort.
It's hard not to think of summer staples like music festivals and cultural fairs without also thinking of Birkenstocks. You see them on thousands of people every year because they are so comfortable. Standing, walking, and exploring all day can really take a toll on your feet, but Birkenstocks always manage to keep you comfortable.
The secret is the brand's trademark contoured insoles, as well as its curved footbeds made from rubber and cork. Trust us when we say your Birks are just as capable of seeing you through a day at the longest, most grueling music festival! Slip them on, and you're good to go.
2. Birks look good with everything and on everyone.
Birkenstocks aren't just comfortable and rugged enough to be practical choices for just about anything. They feature lines and designs that are clean enough to look great no matter what you're wearing with them. Pair the Birkenstock Granada with a flowy sundress and a shawl for a cool boho look. Wear a pair of classic slides with your jeans and a tee for a perfectly casual hiking trail look. Plus, Birks come in an entire rainbow of fun colors, making it easy to incorporate them into your own personal style.
Birkenstocks are also equally flattering on men and women, as they're unisex. Your entire household--from grandparents, to parents to the children--can enjoy the comfort and reliability of a good pair of Birks.
3. Birkenstock footwear is built to last.
When you like to spend your days exploring and having adventures, you never know where the day might take you. That said, it's really not enough for a pair of shoes to be comfortable enough to keep you on your feet. It's got to be durable and rugged enough to be up for anything you are as well.
Birkenstocks are ergonomically designed to be good to your feet and they are built to last from the best materials on earth. Think premium leather, tough but buttery suede, and resilient cork soles! It's not uncommon for just one pair of Birkenstocks to last a person years and years, even with heavy wear. Plus, the more you wear them, the more comfortable they become, so don't be surprised if yours quickly become your new favorite pair of shoes.
4. Birkenstocks are a time-honored tradition.
This fantastic shoe company has been around awhile. Started by a German shoemaker in 1774, Naturally, they've evolved quite a bit since then, but one very important thing remains the same--the way the name Birkenstock is synonymous with concepts like comfort, practicality, and quality.
That said, the choice to wear a pair of Birkenstocks isn't just a wise investment in footwear that supports your lifestyle. It's also a choice to be part of a time-honored tradition that spans more than 200 years. Experience the difference for yourself this fall!
