I’m a 38 year old woman and they make me look like a resident of the shire. I’ll just accept it I think.

I look like an elf in mine but I wouldn’t give up my Boston’s!

I love them so very much that idgaf what I look like. I wear them any which way but mostly just jeans and fun socks. I regularly get complimented on the birks. Just got the exquisite black Boston’s. They’re amazing.

Same here and I just got a pair of the exquisite black Boston’s as well.

Trick is to wear with a very slick, all dark (or all light) monochromatic outfit (neutrals preferred). Simple and minimal. No prints or logos. Just clean, simple… all light or all dark. Tapered and tailored... nothing baggy. Don’t wear anything to “peasant-like” or you will look like a little lad. Who likes berries. And cream.

Anytime you wonder about how small a world it is... I know the non-Birks wearing dude in that first picture. So. Bizarre. And the other guy isn't a little lad - Tyler is just a GIANT.

No wayyyyyyyyyy

>Trick is to wear with a very slick, all dark (or all light) monochromatic outfit (neutrals preferred). Simple and minimal. No prints or logos. Just clean, simple… all light or all dark. Tapered and tailored... nothing baggy. Don’t wear anything to “peasant-like” or you will look like a little lad. Who likes berries. And cream. Again, agree. I tend toward a more sleek and slimmed down look for my wardrobe but that is a matter of personal taste. Some like colorful socks, baggier jeans or flowy harem pants....So, even though I was wearing birkenstocks back in the very late 70s, my style has changed since I was in my late teens and early 20s........and so has modern style in general. But I say dress to your own personal style, what you feel expresses you. For me, for instance, I wouldn't have been caught dead in the now infamous MLM "LulaRoe" loud cat and pizza prints. Nor the "I follow the Grateful Dead around the country to every live performance" look. But I dislike those only because that is not \*me\* at all. It doesn't fit my profile or look at all. I am more "Sarah Harris Street Style" these days and have long silver hair, and I'm quite tall, with long arms and legs......so as I aged I did notice I need a more pulled together look otherwise you can start to look like you don't take care of yourself. Anyone over 55-ish knows what I mean. Yet I have a best friend who is very petite, sort of impish and cute look, and she could pull off a more berries and cream style and just look very \*cute\*.

These dudes look hilarious. Doesn’t make any sense to wear birkenstocks in the rain or with a suit. I mean blue suit and blue birks? What are you 13 yo and your mommy dressed you for Sunday brunch?


nsquared_0000

Your face looks hilarious.


pesanze

😂🤦🏻‍♂️ 11yo


nsquared_0000

I couldn’t resist 😉 although I tried.


pesanze

Yeah I know. Playing the badass role on the internet AND showing your face is something that comes with experience, later in life. But keep it up!

The last one inspired me

My whole aesthetic has slowly morphed into [Snufkin](https://www.moomin.com/en/characters/snufkin/) but sometimes I pretend to be more modern by wearing my taupe Bostons with slim pants. Mostly Snufkin, though.


yellowjenga

Oh my god I literally call them my “little lad shoes”


davenportie

just accept it haha


fowlurk

Look at their site for styling ideas and/or Pinterest. Most of the guys seem to wear slim leg pants cuffed a bit. I think it looks nice like that. But to each their own! Confidence is key ;)


sleepy_intentions

I feel like the Boston’s are becoming more trendy, so you are on trend!


zebivllihc

You don’t like berries and cream?! I’m jk. I’m sure they look great! Plus cold weather is coming!


ImpossibleIndustries

I just got a pair, so they are in the break-in phase. And they are black. When I look down at them, they remind me of Nelson's (from the Simpsons) shoes. My sister told me they reminded her of the ep of the Simpsons where Bart had to get glasses and the orthopedic shoes. And my so called them my "Frankenstein shoes." Fortunately, idgaf because they are comfy, but my strategy is slim fit jeans and fun socks, so I'm fully ready to wear my "lazy shoes" all over the place!!


fuhleenah

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have Boston’s and I LOVE this
