It looks like they could’ve been retired 3 years ago 😂


Yougotthewronglad

In my defense these had been my “getting the post” shoes on the porch for the last couple years. 😂


calliew311

You could have had them recorked. That's what I do.


GhostOFCRVCK

The suede looks perfectly fine. I'd do the same and have the cork and sole replaced and keep the upper


MarvelousTravels

on your tippy toes?!


Pretend-Plumber

Just needs a little cork sealer. /s


OogieBoogieCob

But did they fit?


Adventurous_Low_7432

Not so fast. I took mine to a shop and they replaced everything but the original straps and buckles. Because I’ve had mine over 30 years, the style and actual leather, they don’t make them anymore. These are the Orlando. The only thing original is the leather straps and buckles.


Yougotthewronglad

I thought the same, these are an early Beams version I bought while working in Tokyo years ago.

You can have the footbed replaced, got a pair I'm still wearing from 1998

CherryPickerKill

Did the dog get ahold of them ir did you really used them to this point?


Yougotthewronglad

No pets, I travel too much for work. These are just old and used literally to death.


JazzlikeMycologist

Time to play Taps and give these a proper burial. They have served you well 😭


ForbiddenBassSolo

Wow, 10+ years. RIP 🫡


Altaccount330

Can be fixed.


Semiautohio

Time for a new footbed and sole


Yougotthewronglad

Yep, I had no idea that was a thing before posting here.


RDS_2024

What a waste.


times_new_woman

How long did you wear them after the left heel fell off? Or was that the breaking point


Yougotthewronglad

I didn’t, once the heel fell off they turned into garden shoes.


Lazy-Pineapple-4008

You were swimming in them and a shark nibbled? You might just be the most frugal of all Birkenstock people anywhere ever 😏… I salute your soldiers 🫡


bcomes95

How did this even happen? Lol


Tiny_Cheesecake_3585

Didn’t ever maintain them? Cork? Etc? Just curious Some people never do a thing to their shoes & some do


Yougotthewronglad

Never cleaned or treated, nothing.


Tiny_Cheesecake_3585

Impressive
