I don’t know if it’s the color or material, or just how well made these things are or what, but every time I’d I put them on they look like they are hardly used and have so much life left. The boots that keep on giving. The newer colors in these kind of blow in my opinion and I am have scoured the internet and they simply do not exist in this color anymore. My feet grew quite a bit so they no longer fit but these babies are one of the best boots Birkenstock has ever made. The perfect taupe pull on Chelsea boots made for it all. Size 38
