My ankle tendons seem to be healing and once again it’s been after a period of wearing Birkenstocks only. So I just bought this pair of used, extremely stupid-looking Birk boots on eBay.
Released as a "limited edition" unknown years ago, they’re apparently the only Birk boots with a zipper instead of laces. I already have a great pair of Birk high-tops and they are awesome but an ordeal to get my feet into and out of. I have skinny ankles and flat feet, I can’t imagine how people with thicker ankles and feet get in and out of these things. (That’s probably why they were on remainder for half price. If you haven't noticed, I buy everything either used or remaindered, which would save money if it didn't also entice me to "experiment" with shoes, at least half of which don't work, like the pair of eBay Aquatalia lug boots I thought I would wear all winter but exacerbated my ankle pain after just two miles and so will probably never be worn by me again.)
These look moronic. “Let’s make boots that look like sandals with socks!” But warm, and zipper. And eBay, and pre-owned, so a fraction of their once-upon-a-time $330 retail price. https://birkenstocksd.com/product/1435943/birkenstock/danbury
