I have birks that are 30 years old, had them re-corked and they are still perfect. Now they are perfect for me! I am delighted these has a * the back! These are my first birkenstocks and i am very happy!
Cons
I'm so disappointed that these broke the very 1st time i wore them. However these are nothing like the ones that i owned 40+ years ago. Stilltoo big at the heel.
Highlights
Quality
I cut it down with a very sharp utility knife and now they are perfect.

I also used a nail file and filed down all the edges because the leather is just too sharp when new.
The big toe strap was way too small.
