But don&#8217;t let that scare you away. After you break them in, you&#8217;ll have a very comfortable sandal that conforms to your foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Birkenstock-Lugano.jpg\" alt=\"Birkenstock Lugano\" class=\"wp-image-537980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Birkenstock-Lugano.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Birkenstock-Lugano-277x300.jpg 277w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Birkenstock-Lugano-945x1024.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Birkenstock-Lugano-768x832.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by The Modest Man.

It&#8217;s worth the discomfort. Just wear them a little bit each day for a couple of weeks and they&#8217;ll be ready for comfortable, regular wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, a pro tip is to wear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/best-socks-for-small-feet\/\" data-lasso-id=\"94562\">socks<\/a> during the break-in process to ease to burden. As you&#8217;ll read later in this article, Birkenstocks look surprisingly good with socks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fit-and-comfort\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fit_and_Comfort\"><\/span>Fit and Comfort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you break in a pair of Birkenstocks, they&#8217;re super comfortable and supportive. Not in a &#8220;fluffy, walking on a cloud&#8221; kind of way, but in a sturdy way. The cork footbed will conform to your unique foot shape and the outsole, made with EVA, make for a sandal that provides ample support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Birkenstock-Lugano-with-socks-side-view.jpg\" alt=\"Birkenstock Lugano with socks side view\" class=\"wp-image-537974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Birkenstock-Lugano-with-socks-side-view.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Birkenstock-Lugano-with-socks-side-view-277x300.jpg 277w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Birkenstock-Lugano-with-socks-side-view-945x1024.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Birkenstock-Lugano-with-socks-side-view-768x832.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by The Modest Man.

That being said, wearing socks with sandals is obviously super controversial and some people will hate it no matter what. Personally, I like the relaxed look and the comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wearing socks with sandals is one of those odd fashion choices that&#8217;s either a lame faux pas or super cool, depending on how and where you do it. It definitely violates menswear canon, but it can certainly be done. If you are going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/sandals-with-socks\/\" data-lasso-id=\"176499\">wear socks with sandals<\/a>, Birkenstocks are probably your best choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"questions-about-birkenstock\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_About_Birkenstock\"><\/span>Questions About Birkenstock<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the answers to some questions you may have about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themodestman.com\/birkenstock-homepage\/\" data-lasso-id=\"94569\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"Birkenstock Homepage\">Birkenstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-break-in-birkenstocks\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Break_in_Birkenstocks\"><\/span>How Do You Break in Birkenstocks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You just have to wear them for a couple of weeks, there&#8217;s no way around it. The info card that came in the box said to bend the sandals, and for the first five or six times you wear them, limit wear to a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-birkenstocks-worth-it\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Birkenstocks_Worth_It\"><\/span>Are Birkenstocks Worth It?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Unfortunately, Birkenstocks are not what they used to be.

Commit to wearing them for a couple of weeks, and you&#8217;ll have yourself a comfortable pair of sandals that conforms to your foot shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-you-wear-socks-with-birkenstocks\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Wear_Socks_With_Birkenstocks\"><\/span>Can You Wear Socks With Birkenstocks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can wear whatever you want! What&#8217;s important is that you&#8217;re comfortable and like the way you look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like any other fashion choice, it&#8217;s subjective and not everyone is going to like it, but in my opinion, Birkenstocks look great when worn with socks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"my-recommendation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Recommendation\"><\/span>My Recommendation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Birkenstock makes great-looking <a data-lasso-id=\"94570\" data-lasso-name=\"Birkenstock Sandals\" href=\"https:\/\/amazon.com\/s?k=Birkenstock&amp;rh=n%3A679255011%2Cn%3A679320011&amp;linkCode=ll2&amp;linkId=b7b971186d766d44ac901b223ec02d33&amp;qid=1645324780&amp;rnid=2941120011&amp;tag=themodestman-20&#038;tag=themodestman-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">sandals<\/a> that unfortunately don&#8217;t last long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a pair of high-quality leather sandals, look elsewhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Have you tried Birkenstocks?
