I just got my birkenstocks back from the repair shop and they completely refurbished them. They're like new shoes!! My feet feel good and my back.
I recommend this site for Birkenstock Repair.

Oh, I just got a catalog of Birkenstocks. I'd love to try them. I'm so hard on shoes, though, even expensive ones ... I'm leary of spending $110 - $150 on shoes and having them last no longer than any others. I destroyed a pair of Danskos in 6 months (simply by wearing them to work).
If only a pair would drop out of the sky into my lap.... :)

midnight madness,
thanks for that awesome link. wanted to get a pair of birks fixed, but the price i was quoted by a birk store around here was so expensive i thought i'd just buy new ones... this looks much more reasonable!

Look at that same site, then click on links , for starters to find birks.
I've purchased mine online, pretty reasonable, especially the sales , I'll try to find the site.

I've worked in an OR for 6 years and have tried many many many shoes! Klogz are good for squishy walking comfort but my birks have always saved my back! I have the professional rubber birkis.. or super birkis... something like that... there are a few variations. Most of them can be autoclaved but check for guidelines. The insoles (corks) can be replaced for like $15 but I'm hesitant to do so because they are so nicely broken in!
There are even metallic birks out if your a snazzy kinda person!
try scrubs.com
They are very reliable!

My record: a pair of Rockers e-clogs destroyed in about 3 weeks. No joke. They're comfortable and inexpensive, but they aren't made to withstand my abuse.
