Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Jill, Birkenstocks are supposed to start out hard til you break them in (and do it slowly) and the more you use them the softer they get and it molds to your foot. This is unlike some other kinds of shoes that start out soft and then get harder. I eventually want to get another pair of Birkenstock sandals but I have no money to do that right now.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Jill, The reason it was harder for you is because they were molded for your mom's feet only. You wouldn't have been able to get a true sense of how soft they are on your feet by trying her shoes. You would only know by having a pair of your own and breaking them so that it molded to your feet. I'm glad it works for your mom too. I wish I had a bunch of pairs of them. I hope one day when I get a job to get some more of them and several more Crocs of the regular kind and maybe eventually the prescription ones as well because of my Orthotics. I have two more pairs of shoes to try and break in for my orthotics. One of them is my tennis shoes made by Asics. These are good shoes because they are designed with a special gel that helps protect the feet. Kristy Co-Owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Kristy, Actually, the ironic thing is that they did not work for my mom. She limped around in horrible pain all the time. I did not understand about PF at the time and didn't know how to help her. Also, since she was a nurse, I trusted she knew what she was doing. I should have realized that she never took care of herself and would not spend a dime on herself to find something that worked better (someone else bought her the Birk's). She has since passed away.....from not taking care of herself. Jill Re: Comfy shoes???-Jill Jill, The reason it was harder for you is because they were molded for your mom's feet only.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Jill, I'm so sorry for your loss. The reason I asked was because I was curious to see how recent the incident was. One other questions about the Birkenstocks she was given. Were these the kind with the cork in the footbed or another material?
