When my husband spent a summer in the Holy Lands, he took one pair of shoes–Birkenstocks. And while I could never imagine spending all summer with only one pair of shoes to pick from each day, they served him well for his whole trip.
So when I was contacted by Birkenstocks to review a pair of their new Spring sandals, I was excited to try what would be my first pair. And while I was instantly drawn to the colors of the two new spring styles (I chose the Madrid), what impresses me most about the Birkenstock company is their dedication to making the complete process of creating these shoes environmentally conscious. As they say, "They were green long before green was a trend."
Here are a few things that impressed me about their green commitment:
- The shoes are made with a commitment to craftsmanship using premium quality, natural, renewable, recyclable and naturally insulating material.
- They are made from durable cork, no trees are cut or destroyed – the bark is simply peeled away and then allowed to re-grow.
- The shoes can be repaired, increasing the life of your shoes and decreasing the amount of waste entering our landfills. (I love this. Rarely, in this day and age, do we think of repairing our shoes. We simply toss them out and buy a new replacement pair.)
- Left-over EVA from the sole production process is broken down and further processed for use in children’s playgrounds, sport fields and sound barriers along freeways.
- You can read more about their green steps here.
I am impressed with the steps they have taken to have a low-impact on our environment.
And guess what? Need a new pair of shoes for Spring?? I get to give away a pair to one lucky reader, in the style (Madrid {the first pair pictured} or Gizeh{the second pair pictured}), size and color of your choice!
Leave a comment to be entered in the giveaway. I have one more crafty giveaway coming up on Friday, so I will announce all the winners on Monday.
And if you don't win, the other good news is that the sandals are pretty affordable, starting at $49.95, which for a pair of shoes that can be as long-lasting as these, is a really good deal.
Yay for shoes! Good luck.

Hurrah for Birkenstocks! I love them so much, I bought my first pair when I was pregnant with my eldest son 10 years ago now(!!!) and they are still going strong. I love shoes that last if you take the time to care for them.
I would love the lime green ones for me…but I’d love to give the purple ones to my daughter even more. So pick me…I mean her!
OH! OH! OH!
Do you know how old and worn out my birks are?!?!(Not that I’d get rid of them if I did win, but still.)
Wow, birks have come a long way since the last time I checked them out. I had a hand-me-down pair like a million years ago and loved them to pieces! The green ones just shout Spring. 🙂
I would love to try these sandals. I’ve heard good things about them. Thanks!
Great to read about a company who has cared for the environment for so long!
I was just saying the other day how much I missed having a pair of Birkenstocks. They are so comfortable, and at the same time, very durable. I would love to win!!
Love the bright colours – mine are starting to fall apart – time for some new ones!
Fantastic! I used to wear only one pair of birks all summer too… I could use another pair.
count me in!birk clogs were my first favorite pair of shoes[other than my strawberry shortcake velcros of course].
I pretty much live in my birks. I still have my first pair from almost 20 years ago (gosh it’s been that long?!) and I don’t plan on getting rid of it any time soon. I’d love to win a pair of Madrids– I don’t have that style. What a sweet giveaway! How do I get to try out a pair?!
In college, I wore my birkenstocks until they fell apart (after years:)love the bright colors!
I have been a birkenstock wearer for a long, long time. I really love the company, their commitment to the environment, and their comfort and durability. I have a lot of feet issues, and these are just so super comfy all the time. I adore the purple Gizeh pair – they’re so cute!!!
I haven’t worn Birks for a long time…but they used to be my favorite shoes back in high school….would love to have a pair again….thanks for letting me play along…Jamie
I used to have dull brown ones that I wore everyday until they literally fell off my feet. I would really love to win some cute ones!
Oh, once again, AWESOME giveaway. I love Birks so much, as every true Oregonian does, and I’m down to one pair of shoes (my beloved red patent Danskos). Bring on summer!
Oh, birks are a dream! Thank you for hosting this giveaway! 🙂

The sandals look so cute, i’d love to get a pair for the summer.
This is quite the giveaway! I do love Birks although it’s been ages since I had a pair. I do remember leaving my college pair in the trunk of my car, tucked alongside a wet sleeping bag, for a couple weeks. That was kind of gross. A sweeter memory is seeing my dad’s pair — which I’m pretty sure were the same ones for at least 15 years, just resoled over and over — on the floor at the foot of their bed, toes of the sandals curled up the way they do — all through my childhood.
I have been wanting these for ages!! Glad to hear they are nice.
I bought my first pair when I began waitressing in college. They lasted through years of hard wear, and, 10 years later, are still in use! I’d love a summer pair…
loovveee the birkenstocks! i bought my first pair when i was 16–i used the first paycheck from my first job to buy a pair and i wore them for over 10 years. now i wear mine with handknit socks in the spring and fall, and practically every where i go in the summer.
I haven’t looked at Birkenstocks in ages, but these are SO adorable.
Any idea if they’re fair trade?
I wear my birks all the time and have had them re-corked twice! I could sure make use of a new pair and I love the spring colors.
Enjoy!
Love those green ones!
I will ask and let you know….
yikes — those are some cute birks. my old pair, though comfy and long-lasting, not so much in the cuteness department. what a great giveaway chance. thanks molly!
oh! wow! this would be an awesome win! i have a pair of teva’s that are 15 years old. really. i need a new pair of summer sandals. if i don’t win some, i’ll be buying some in a week or two!
I have always wanted to try a pair of birks. those one look so fun, too.
I LOVE Birks! Those are both fantastic!
ooh! i haven’t had birkenstocks since i was in high school! i haven’t even seen any of their new styles, but the madrid and gizeh look really nice!
I’ve been wearing orthotic Birks for years now; they aren’t as cute as these are! 🙂
They are the only thing I wear on my fat feet over summer (need to go to a wedding this weekend and I need to find something other than birkis to wear – ahhhh.)
Oh, I’ve never had a pair of Birkenstocks and would love to win!Thanks so much!
Love the second pair. You have the best giveaways. Thank you!
~Sara
Birkenstocks rock! Not surprised that Dan only took that one pair to Israel…
I love those! Thanks for hosting.
I LOVE that purple pair! I can’t really believe that I don’t have purple shoes yet!
cool!! I haven’t had birks since college, and I can’t think of something more appropriate for my chicken raising, breadmaking, homeschooling self. Can you?
okay, maybe my clogs.
oh my, yes! It’s time for a new pair for me – Gizeh has been my favorite for awhile, and the new colors rock!
Oh my goodness! Birks! What fun! I think I shall have to put these on a wishlist for me for the summer, in case I don’t win…
I wear Birks everyday (for three quarters of the year, anyway. I dread winter, and a decision about which closed-toe shoes to wear).
How beautiful are those? My mom worked for Birkenstock when I was in college at UCSC (can’t get more appropriate than that). I had too many pairs then. (Now I think, too many? Really?) I’m down to my Arizonas which don’t fit (39s and I wear 41s) and a prototype pair. The colors are snazzy!
Never knew about their green credentials until this. I love the two that you have shown, that shiny purple and vivid green
They are cute. I have to say though that especially as times are getting tougher people are getting their shoes repaired. My brother repairs them for a living and business is booming. It would be nice for me to own a pair of high quality shoes worth repairing!
I love Birkenstocks…live in them all year round!
oh wow… I have always wanted a pair of these, but when I was working near their shop in london, you had to queue to get in as they were so popular, and I never had the patience!
I have been eyeing a pair of Birks for awhile now. I love them!!
Those shoes are on my spring wish list. Oh how I love them!
yay! i’ve been wearing birks for years and my current pair is on its last legs.
Great giveaway! I have always wanted to have my very own Birks.
these are great looking birks!
sweet! i am completely digging the bright colors. i think i may be totally old-school this summer with some of these and my dr. scholl’s!
Ooh! Those are fun! I’ll have Gizeh in green. ; )
I’d love new shoes for spring!
Sign me up. I wouldn’t mind a pair of Madrids. Maybe in red.
Okay, I admit I have never worn Birkenstocks. But these are so cute, count me in!
i love the madrid. and the price is so reasonable, that is, if i dont win of course.:)
Love the madrid style! And Birks are known for comfort!
In college I was one of those birk wearers who wore them until the snow was too deep with wool socks. Since then I’ve drifted. I like the brilliant green of the first one.
I still have my original pair of Birkenstocks. I pull them out every once in a while, slip them on and take a walk down memory lane. Time to create some new memories with some new Birks!
I know how your husband chose those for an entire summer! I work festivals too on all types of terrain. I bet during a 3-dayer, they would be soooo much better than flip flops! 🙂
PS. I just joined your blog following and I really like the way you have it set up to send updates. The rss feeds a ok, but they usually don’t look very good!
What a great give away. This would be my first pair of Birks.
fun. Ive never worn a pair of Birks. They are really cute.
Hi again, Molly. Here I am again, standing in line with my cup out. You’re going to think I just like you for your giveaways! But no, that’s not even the half of it!But I would love a pair of those sandals!Best wishes, and take care…Tara
That’s me, Tara up there, Molly. I was signed in as the Nursery School!
that’s the truth, isn’t it, rachel??!!! 🙂
I’m in!I bought my first pair of birk’s 3 years ago after practiacally ruining my feet with flip flops. They are now my “as soon as snow is off the ground” shoe.. and my feet have totally recovered from the flip flop pain!
Birks in patent!! What a great way to say summer is coming. Love the Madrid.
I’ve never had a pair of these! That green is so fun!
thanks, yolanda. getting blog updates in my inbox is one of my new favorite ways to follow blogs.
not at all, tara. i love sharing good things. 🙂
I am a dedicated Birkenstock Mama and wear their sandals and clogs in all seasons. Love them!
Never have had a pair of these shoes. Would love to try them.
I will be very pregnant this summer and have been thinking that a pair of Birkenstocks would be pretty sweet.
What a coincidence! I’ve been trying to choose a colour in the gizeh for summer but haven’t been able to decide. What a great giveaway!
Would love to give these shoes a try. Never had a pair before.
Nearing 40, and having been a greeny my whole life you would think I would’ve burned through several pairs of these. Alas I have never owned one. Maybe it’s time?
I’ve entered for giveaways before, but this one is calling to me! I’ll be spending my summer trekking around Italy and Switzerland, and a pair of Birks would be FANtastic!!!!Please pick me!
Love those birks! Such a great company, too.
Oooh, those purple ones are gorgeous! Fingers crossed!
I LIVE in birkenstocks in the summer. When we lived in Singapore, my kids lived in birkenstocks. They are just awesome. And you can get them resoled. I did that for my kids’ ones as they grew. Fantastic shoes and an excuse to wear flip flops all the time without the crippling pain. LOVE them.
I had a pair of Birks in college that I just loved. I wore them all the time with thick wooly socks, heavy sweaters and shorts – as did everyone at my college! lol I haven’t had a pair since (I wonder what happened to those?) but I’d love a new pair.
Kate I went to a wedding a couple of years ago and the bride and all her attendants wore Birks during the reception. The Bride had a white pair and the girls all had matching floral pairs. 🙂 They were able to dance the night away!! So go for it!
It’s been a long time since I’ve owned a pair of birks. I loved them in high school though, maybe it’s time to get a new pair.
I LOVE Birkenstocks!!!! When in Europe a few years ago, I bought three pair. The first pair hasn’t worn out yet and I wear them constantly. You can’t beat them for comfort and they go with almost everything. I know my sister has 50 pairs. So much Birk-love!
Oh, how fun! I would LOVE a new pair of sandals!
i’ve always kind of looked longingly at birks, but never owned a pair myself. i’m starting to see the value of buying things that will last, though, even though they might be slightly more costly. i am drawn to the green sandals…pretty.
Oh how I’d love to win a pair. I really need some new kicks!
ooh, i love these! They might just bring me back to Birkenstocks!
Those look so comfortable!
These are so cute! What a great way to start the spring!!
Wow! What a great giveaway! I used to wear my Birks every day in college, and had them recorked and soled a few times. That green pair is adorable!
These are the best sandals. I love the style of the first one.
I love these sandals. I have never seen the style of the first one.
They certainly are springy! I am sure that they are super comfy too!
At the end of last summer, I finally pulled out my old Birkenstocks because I was having major foot problems. They are sooo comfy, and I’m liking the fashionable ones you have here.
Lovely shoes from a wonderful company! Loved your review 🙂
That first pair is cute–and that’s not a word I would put in the same sentence with Birks! 😉 My Birks are about ten years old now, and every summer when I put them on, I’m always surprised at how comfortable they are.
I think Berkinstocks were part of our University uniform in Bellingham, so many people had them. You could always tell when spring had arrived when students stopped wearing them with wool socks! ~Heather
I was going to enter this for my husband who’s birks are so tired. My mom keeps offering to buy him new ones, but it likes his old friends. But since they are women’s I’ll just enter for me. I’m expecting another babe in Sept. and these would be good supportive shoes for a growing mama- and more stylish than that blue suede one’s from high school!
I would love a new pair of summer sandals as it’s not in the budget right now.
oooh, these are great! i’ve only had the knock offs before. i would love to win a pair!
I love the colorful ones!! I have a very worn in pair in brown. Great sandal for the summer!
LOVE these! I love that Birkenstocks are now being made in pretty styles and colors. They are so, so comfy!
Thanks for hosting the giveaway. I love birks – I just keep getting them resoled/filled in, and they just keep going. But it would be wonderful to have a cute green pair in addition to my comparatively dull black and brown ones.
Count me in! Cute and renewable, what more can you ask for? I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
I love that they are making them more femanine looking. I actually really like the Gizeh. I would never pick those for myself, but I’m drawn to them.
Wow, just in time for summer, I love the green ones!
I love the green! Perfect for a Colorado spring!
I love Birks! They are so comfortable. I had a pair when I was younger and wore them until they fell off my feet and then I still kept them even though I could wear them. Would love a new pair of these in one of those awesome colors.
Thanks for letting us play along!!
Cute! I love both of those! Thanks for hosting this giveaway.
Oh, I would love a pair of these. I love the gizeh.
I love birkenstock sandals. Haven’t had a pair in years, but they are so comfortable! I would love to win a pair!
PPPLLLLLEEEEAAASSSEEE! i need new sandals…and birks are so wonderful!!!
I wore Birks everywhere, including all over Greece and in the water (before Chaco’s were invented!) and they’re such a classic now. I love the Gizah! Your review was great. Thanks!
OH YAY! Sandals! Exactly what I NEED! Fingers crossed ~ Thank you for this fun give away opportunity! Birk’s no less—the BEST!!!!!!!!!
I love my well-worn-but-still-functional Birks, but a new pair would be much appreciated. Who doesn’t love new spring sandals?
I love Birks. Always have. Probably always will. 🙂
I haven’t seen those fantastic new colours. Fun indeed!
My favorite pregnancy shoes,sooo comfy!
I am a geek according to my family. I have been wearing my Birks (first pair I ever owned…and wanted one for 10 years!!!) that I finally purchased last Spring, since the ground began to thaw this Spring. Oh, I know, but my toes aren’t really cold since I am wearing my SOCKS with them. Hence the geek part.
oooh! new sandals! and i’ve never had birks either… =) count me in!
Those are sooooo cute!
Does it mean I am old if I wore Birks back in the day when “they were green long before green was a trend”?
The green Birks are too cute! Great giveaway.
Pick me! Pick me! I’d love a break from my $3 Old Navy flip-flops
Those are beautiful shoes. I’ve always wanted a pair of proper birkenstocks. Pick me, pick me!
Haven’t worn Birks since college either, but would LOVE a new pair for summer. That green is so pretty. Great to know they are so affordable these days too — thanks for sharing!
we were in the birkenstock store this afternoon. over here in japan. buying my husband his first pair. i just love this company. and would love to add a new pair to my collection. whoohoo.
we were in the birkenstock store this afternoon. over here in japan. buying my husband his first pair. oh, i love this company. and would love to add a new pair to my collection. whoohoo!
Oh, these would SO add to my Birks collection. My favorites as of last summer? My waterproof pair!
Don’t know why it gave me that crazy identity, but the above was posted by Ashley! 😉
Birkenstocks are my favorite summertime sandals. In college they were also my favorite winter time sandals, worn with thick wool socks. I hope I win, since I haven’t been able to afford Birks for years.
I have been dreaming of a pair of birks for ages and actually had a wonderful conversation on Easter with a cousin about them. She’s been wearing the same pair for 15 years – resoled of course. Oooo those Gizeh are adorable!
Ooh! Brings back memories of wearing them while backpacking through Europe…but these are SO much cuter!
Girly Birks, Yeah!When spending money on Birks the pull is towards traditional.Trendy would be so fun!
I love the bright colors! I always thought they were only brown! I have been hearing for years how comfy they are. I think it is time to try them for myself!
What a great giveaway! I would love to win a pair – I’m in desperate need of new summer sandals.
Oooh, I love my Birks. They are about the only shoe I can wear throughout pregnancy. I just have regular clogs, but I’d love a sandal. =)
What a wonderful giveaway, I have never owned a pair of these perfect shoes……everyone who tries them swears by them.
My hubby has had the same pair of Birks for 15 years…resoled a few times of course…and I have recently begun to wish for a pair of my own. Those “Madrid’s” look pretty perfect!
Oh my! I love my Birks…but they’re clogs for quick trips to the garden, etc. I would love to try these on (at the very least!). 🙂
Birkenstocks are my sandal of choice for the summer, so when i saw on flickr that you’re giving a pair AWAY, i hopped right over to enter. Not that I ever win, heehee. (=
Great giveaway!
Oh, I could definitely live in only birks for a summer. I have my dress birks, my casual birks, my winter & summer birks. However, I can always use a new pair. I’ve got my fingers crossed on this one…
I would love a new pair of Birks. I spent many a day in college getting “rocks outta my ‘stocks'”
all through college, at least when it wasn’t snowing all I wore was my birks. I still have a pair from 15 years ago. I’ve always loved them!
okay, molly, i bite. i never sign up for give-aways, but this is something i already love and know i will use. so count me in.
and like your husband, i wore one pair of birks for 3 of the 4 years i lived in india, every day, through heat, dust and monsoon. i just kept re-applying sealer on the cork and they were perfect.
I love the springy green!! What a great company!
Those are so cute. Love all the colors!
Ooh! A new pair of Birks for spring would be so wonderful! I’d love to be in the running for those!
I really love those purple ones!
I had a pair in high school with a wrap-around ankle strap. Have never found anything ever as comfortable.
I love Birks! I have a pair that is just about worn out. I need a new pair!! =)
I love Birks!!! I have a pair that is just about worn out. I need a new pair! =)
A friend and I were just trying to decide which colour birkys to choose. Such a coincidence that you are reviewing them today.
i used to wear birks and loved them…its been a while, time to reunite with them! i also used to live in israel and dream of going back one day!
I am a Birk fan from way back. I love the new colors and more feminine style. I gave them up for a while because they were a little dated. I hoe I win!
What luck! My six-year-old Gizehs are beginning to show the sole through the cork. I forgot that I could have them re-corked, though. Does anyone have any tips for cleaning suede? They’re looking pretty grubby these days. I have to admit I’d love a colorful pair.
I have never owned any Birks but have always heard how comfortable they are. I adore the bright colours!
I LOVE Birkenstocks. I wear them every hour of the day unless I’m sleeping. Seriously. I even have the insoles to put into non-Birk shoes (which I only wear 2 days of the week)
Just in time for summer! I didn’t realize they came in such wonderful, fun colors! I’ve always wanted to try a pair of Birks! Great giveaway!
They have always been so expensive. I’m glad they are selling some styles for $50 now.
I love Birks!!! I have a pair at home that is just about worn out. I need a new pair! =)
I love the Gizeh ones – so pretty!
I love the Gizeh ones – so pretty!
My last comment went in under a the wrong name – oops! No idea how that happened.
Count me in! I’ve never had a pair, but I would love to give them a try.
These are sooo much nicer than the old, dusty pair in my closet. Thanks for the great giveaway! Fingers crossed…
I just read your habit post about closing the door and letting her play. A hockey coach said to me last night, quoting hockey legend Ken Dryden, “unstructured time is the incubator of greatness”. You are such a good mama!
I went to a pretty crunchy college, so I bought my first pair of Birks before packing up and heading to school. You know, it was part of the uniform. 😉 I wore mine until they practically disintegrated. I still miss them.
I love the whole idea and style of Birkenstocks. Sadly, my feet are as flat as a pancake so I can’t wear them. A fact that makes me even sadder having seen the gorgeous patent versions 🙁
I’m needing me a new pair!
I love Birks!!! They were the first shoes I spent my “own” money on and I still happily do yearly.
I would love to win! I am allergic to leather, so the Birko-flor seems like it would be a great option for me.
I love the greeen ones!
Count me in! I totally wore out my high school pair of birk sandals. My pottery/gardening clogs are also birks — very comfy!
I wore Birks all the time in college. I even brought them to the cobbler when the sole started to fall off and the cork began to crumble. They lasted a few more years after they were repaired. I would love a new pair. Great giveaway!
~~~~~~~~
Another good thing about birkie’s is that a quick swipe of a MR magic eraser and they look like new.One of my pairs is on it’s fourth year.please enter me~~~~~~~
I bought my first Birks last year and love them. I never wanted to be known as the hippie chick in birks, I was far too cosmopolitan and high-maintenance for that. Three children later and they are my favorite go-to everyday shoes!
I heart Birkenstocks. They are about the only shoe I wear, and I preach about them to anyone who will listen.Spread the Birk love.
oh my gosh. this is the best giveaway ever! Birks are the best shoes ever made!
I am finally ready to throw out my beloved Born sandals (9 yrs old)…these would go a long way towards easing the pain! =)
I am on the fifth and presumably final year on mine – they are so comfy on my old feet that I probably will have to give them a proper Christian burial when the time comes:)
I really need a new pair of summer shoes, and of course this is such a great and reliable brand. Their shoes are so comfortable. The colors are great, if I don’t win then I will just have to buy a pair.
Wow- I remember when I used to wear Birks in college with wool socks… I think I would rather have a pair of these new ones and try the look again with bare feet- oh the good old days:)
lecia, i love that quote. Thank you for sharing it with me!! 🙂
Love these shoes. I have a boring pair, but these are so fun!
I love Birks! My old ones are comfortable, but not so cute. Thanks for the opportunity! Both styles and colors are great!
I had forgotten about my old Gizeh birks until I saw this post… blue suede… they were beautiful and wonderful until they couldn’t be repaired anymore. I miss them! Crossing my fingers…
ive heared of them but i never wore them. it would be great to win one pair of those!
This is an awesome giveaway. I have been wanting some for a while now. Thanks!
I have never owned Birks, but I would love to try them!
How fun! I love the purple Gizeh ones and could use some comfortable sandals. Thanks for hosting!
oh, I loved my old birks. Still have them, but they are so seriously not as cute as their new lines… I still like to pad around in them in the house though. 😉
Wow these are great shoes! Its been too long since I had a pair of birks!
Those look so comfy!
Am a big Birks fan. Love the Madrid. In red, in purple, in green … wow.
oh they’re so cute! i don’t know which i would choose!
I love these sandals and would be thrilled with either style! Thanks.
Ooooh, that is a tough choice! Either style would be very cute with a Mother Clucker tote from henjen handbags 😉
I have to at least try for these. I still have the Birks I bought in High School. That was 15 years ago. They need a new mate, I think.
I have problems with shoes due to arthritis in my feet. I’ve heard great things about Birkenstocks but didn’t want to pay a lot and then find they don’t work. This would be a great way to test the waters. If they don’t work, I’ll share them with someone else. If they do work, I’ll be in 7th heaven 🙂 I especially love the Gizeh as they are easier for me with the arthritis 🙂 Thanks for a fun contest!
Love the green pair! I’m going to L.A. this summer. I need something stylish, so I can look a little younger! I don’t want my feet to hurt and with Birks I know they won’t.
I’ve always wanted a pair of Birks!! My parents have had theirs for forever! They just keep having them resoled. I should follow in their footsteps…haha
oooOOOOooo Gizeh sandals in green, red or black would be amazing!
I wear Birks all the time. These look great!
love the purple ones!
I was just looking at some of these the other day and considering…a chance to win a pair is even better 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity!
Oooooh! I’ll take the Madrid please. 🙂
Great giveaway! I’ve never owned a pair of Birkenstocks, but with my third baby due in August, I bet I’ll be loving a pair of comfy, slip-on shoes this summer!
Birkenstocks!!! I’m so excited…I wore these butstropped somewhere along the way. I have RA and am looking for affordable shoes!!! They are much cuter than I remember:) pick me?
Those are great sandals! I have the clogs and a pair of plain brown sandals, but the bright colors are awesome.
Ready anytime for comfy. The green is very zippy and fresh. Put my name in the pot!
Hooray, I love Birks! I’ve owned two pairs that lasted over 10 years of summers. Best shoes ever.
I’ve always loved the look and feel of Birks, but I have very narrow feet and find it hard to find just the right Birks for me. Do they exist? Are these sandals, the ones? I’d love to try ’em and find out.
Ah good timing. I’ve finally worn out my very pretty birkenstocks (with flowers) that I’ve worn faithfully every summer for the past 6 years. So I can certainly vouch for good value!
I’ve wanted to try a pair of Birks forever! Count me in!
I really need a new pair of Birks. I’ve had fakenstocks the last few summers and they’re just not the same. I’ve got birks on my summer shopping list.
I just bought my first pair of Birkenstocks recently – they were recommended to me when I got my first case of plantar fasciitis. I’m glad they’re so stylish and green as I’ll be wearing them all summer!
Never had a pair of birks before and this post is SO making me want to try them! Didn’t know birks had such trendy styles!
Another Birk lover here! I still wear my first pair which I purchased five years ago.
Birkies….mmmm…. like chocolate for feet. My family (children included) are all Birkenstock wearers. Now I’m trying to convince my mum she would love them as much as we do if she’d try them. I can imagine her in a pair of pretty birkies..she’s a cool 70 year old nana. Wow! light bulb moment! you just helped me decide what to get her for her birthday.
I would love a new pair of shoes!
Looks like everyone loves the birkenstocks…almost as much as the Epson printer!
Love the shiny spring colours.
i love my birks! both models look great!
Totally cute…I would love them!
Oh, I was just thinking of buying a pair for my swollen pregnant feet! Those colors would definitely take my mind off how awful my feet feel right now!
I love the bright colors of these shoes. I had forgotten about birks… it might be time to rediscover them!
Yes please!! These are so cute!
Who doesn’t love birks?
Love my Birkis, and these look great for Summer.
Hi – can you believe I’m German and NEVER had a pair of Birkenstocks? There they have (had? – I left 7 years ago) a really bad image as sloppy, hippy, so-not-cool shoes… Now I’m surprised how cute the new styles are and am considering getting the silver gizeh. Love the combination of cork and sparkle!
Love love Birkenstocks. Had a heel spur and my doctor told me to go get some Birkenstocks and wear them all the time . . . no more heel spur. Would love these!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway – I love my Birks. I got a new pair last year and they are my go to shoe for the summer.
My birks were the most comfortable pair of shoes I ever had. I wore them into the ground. I’d love another pair– thanks for reminding me!
i’ve always wanted a pair, but i’ve never allowed myself to get some! i’d love these!
I LOVE my Birkies!! And those colors are much better than my original black ones. Can’t wait to see them in person!
Oh these are so cute! I love Birkenstocks. LOOOVEEEE them! Fingers are crossed!
oooh, lovin’ the new colors! gorgeous!
They are both so cute and I love the colors…
I think my birks have grafted to my feet. I love birkenstocks!!!
I LOVE these cuties!! Would love to have a pair for the summer. Thanks for the giveaway…. I look forward to reading your blog everyday.
Nice birkis – i love the gizeh
Pick me! Every girl needs green birkis!
Oh I have never had a pair but have heard wonderful things about them. I love the colors.
I used to wear Birkenstocks all the time, but it’s been a while. I would love to win a pair – especially after reading your glowing review!
I love the comfort factor of Birkenstocks. It is so great that they are also pretty cool to look at as well.
Oh My!!!! Those are great all around! Cheers to Birkenstock!
I triple LOVE birkenstocks..they’re my favourite shoes and I love the look of the Madrid’s….
Yay shoes! I love the Gizeh style.
I wore the old earthy leather ones for years and resoled them. When they quit making the purple leather ones I was bummed. I would love to win a pair- I’ll take purple please!
I have always wanted to own a pair of birkenstocks, but thought they were a bit out of my price range. But $49.95 is quite reasonable. They look so comfortable. Great giveaway.

Birkenstock me please!! I have never had a pair of Birkenstocks but have admired them for years. My only pairs of casual summer shoes consist of my $2 flip flops on clearance from JoAnn Fabrics. No joke! And the green is calling my name! Julie!!…Julie!!
I had a pair in High School and loved them. But these are oh so cute! Thanks
I wore mine everyday in college – sign me up please!
love these!
I have never worn a pair of birks. I don’t know why …. they look so comfy and I LOVE the green!!
Oh, what an amazing giveaway. I’d love some of those lovely sandals.
I’ve never had a pair of Birks, and always wanted to try them. Beautiful colors!
I’ve had my birkenstocks for 13 years now (wow, I didn’t realize until right this minute that they were that old!). In that time, they’ve had two new pairs of soles and one new pair of footbeds. I guess the only original parts on them are the straps! Wouldn’t you say I’m due for a fresh new pair?
I have never owned a pair of Birks. I love both of them!
i love my birks! and i would really love a new pair (mine are TEN YEARS OLD!!! holy cow!). please, please count me in!
Thanks for the fantastic giveaway! I have always wanted birks!
I loved my birks in college – sign me up please 🙂
Ooo, these new birks are awesome, and would look a lot better than my old beat up pair! 🙂
Birkenstocks are the greatest things ever! I couldn’t live without mine. Though mine are looking a little rough after wearing them nonstop for four years. Please enter me! Thanks!
Can sisters win this one if fairly picked?
I’ve been wearing Birkenstocks for 30 years – not the same pair all that time! They are great shoes. Melissa M
Love love the purple ones!!!
Wonderful shoes those Birks!Thanks for the show and tell and the giveaway!
wow, those are such great colours. I would love to win these :o)
I love these updated Birks! The scream SUMMER!
Okay, this is my kind of footwear since I live in flip flops like 75% of the year. Yay! (and fingers crossed).
My mother in law swears by these shoes, and ever since I’ve wanted to try a pair, but I could never justify the $50 price tag. (That’s two months of diapers for us!) I’d be so stoked to win a pair. I love the Madrid, in plum or chocolate.
i’ve been wearing birks since i was 15 – for the past 15 years…love them!
Birkenstocks company with a commitment to make shoes environmentally conscious. I really love these pairs.
What you said about the durability is so true! My first pair (from college) just bit the dust now!
I’ve always wanted to try a pair of birks and these two pairs look fantastic. Thanks for the opportunity!
I haven’t worn Birkenstocks for a looooong time! But I love those bright colors!
My mother started wearing Birkenstocks in the 80’s. My first pair has been resoled, recorked and resealed numerous times, but has lasted since 1989. 20 years. Wow, that makes me feel *really* old.Maybe it’s time to shake up my birk collection with a new pair!
ooh shoes!I’ve never had a pair of birkenstocks but I love hearing all about their green commitments
Wow, I hadn’t realized these were so affordable. THanks for the info!
My birks are three years old and still going strong but not very hygenic! A new pair would be fantastic. Please enter me for the draw. Thanks
I am finally in a place where it gets over 65 during the summer and I can’t wait to wear skirts… But cute shoes? Those I can’t make myself! How cute would these be with a few skirts?? Thanks for the chance at a pair:)
What an incredible giveaway!
I remember my suede-topped Birks from my college days. I love the shiny brights they’re going with – perfect for a hip mama on the go (like me)!
I’ve had the second style and loved it. The new colors are fabulous!
Oh, man! I love those green ones! I’ve been a birk devotee for my entire adult life. They are just so comfy.
Oooh..super cool colours. It used to be be that birks where boring old brown, black, and white. I love the purple!
These are so fun and super cute! Plus bonus on the awesome price!
Does a sandal get any more comfortable than a Birkenstock? I don’t think so. Love!
wow – impressed. those are super awesome!
Wow–I haven’t worn birks in years–I love the new colors!
I’m not sure if this giveaway is still going on, but if it is I’d LOVE to be entered! I’ve been wanting a pair of Gizehs for a while but have never had the extra money to spend. Thanks so much!
I love birks- since I was 15
I would love to give these shoes a test drive on my feet as I have arthritis in them. I’ve heard great things about Birkenstocks but have held back for fear they’d be like so many other shoes I’ve tried and still hurt. I appreciate this fun contest that might give me the chance to test them for free – always one of my favorite things to do 🙂
I am a dedicated berk wearer from way back and really have never found another shoe that makes me as happy as they do. What a great giveaway count me in! Also Green…my favorite color!
love birks! and these are super cute!
