But what ??? Well , the Eva Birks are fine . However if you want a little less “shoe” and still want a great arch support footbed , that’s super light ? These are awesome , they’re for you . They aren’t as hard as the birk eva ones but we have these in another color way someone in our family wears them a lot more often than the birks he says “ idk the birks are too all over the place , just too big , these are much more streamlined , feel more attached to you and look better “ makes a lot of sense . In fact that’s why we have another box that’s never been used, because we bought 2 or 3 can’t remember NWT baby ! Enjoy ! Get em for the man , or man , you should get em ! This is the No Haggle price . Why mess around ? Just go for it
