Neckermann vs Birkenstocks

[fusionz]

Do you remember which style you have bought?

Oh yes. I do have this reservation in me. Spend $30 four times on Neckermann or $120 on one Birken.

Theft and wear-and-tear on Neckermann seems much more 'affordable'

Really tempting and puzzled.

I suggest you go down to the shop and try both before making the decision. Just telling you how good it is won't really convince you.

I have tried both and will never look back. Even my friend who worn Neckermann before complained about how uncomfortable it is and is going to change to Birkenstock. It's something like if you pay peanuts, you get monkey.

my birkenstock is 3 years plus and the sole still have a lot of life to it.

Thanks for backing Birken, this gives me more reason to buy from them.

Definitely going to test both brands before buying. Thanks for the input from all your many years of user experience.

Just for my reference. Looks good. Is the junction at the toe prone to wear and tear?

Thank you for your aggressive promoting of Birkens. I'm sure they would love you.

It is definitely a good brand to consider, marketing at a rocket high price.

Every penny counts in birks. And the foot bed's design is for ultimate premium comfort and good standing posture. Dun nid to worry about wear and tear, ive been wearing them almost everyday and it still is fully intact. Even the base of it(the part contacting the floor) is perfectly fine without abrasions or wearness

Thank you for the detail endorsement!

-Comfort foot bed

I have seen Neckermann at Bugis BHG. The appearance looks quite similar to Birkenstock but the quality is nowhere near them.

I have bought my Birkenstocks Arizona and I felt abrasion pain on my one day of wear about 5 hours.

The pain is mainly on both foot, inner sole where the arche is. I have bought the Arizona softbed and probably did not expect the sandal to be so thick and tough.

Any similar occurrences or advice?

To me both sandals are more or less the same, branding aside. Yes birks will have better overall fit, but thats kind of redundant since after prolonged wear the footbed changes to your feet. So if you are not going for the brand, go for neckermann. My neckermann version of florida costs 32 bucks as opposed to the actual 130.

anyone knows where I can get the Neckermann's version (or other 3rd party brands) of Florida and Yara? The department stores (e.g. Metro/Taka) sell most models, except for Florida

Just get a birken, it will never go wrong.

Anyone knows how to clean the leather inner sole?

I am a huge fan of birks myself as of the opposite, simply because of the fit and the amount of warranty that come along with it. it's the 100 dollar shoe that you're going to wear for the next 3-5 years, plus the amount of maintenance that can be done to your original shoe bed is why I don't want to spend less money but spend my time and effort to break in a new pair of shoes.
