Really wanted to relive my younger Birkenstock days… I really tried, but they hurt my flat feet! Only wore them a handful of times.. and iykyk, the footbeds instantly leave an impression after the first wear. These are oiled leather, so the straps kind of have a lived in look. Idk if they came this way, but I took a pic of a couple “spots” I noticed on one of the straps. They are black, but depending on what angle you look at them, they almost give a bronze or charcoal tone. Hardly any wear on the bottoms. If you like Birks, check my other listing! These are a size 38, which is women’s 7. For reference, I typically wear a 7.5-8 in most shoes.
