Merrell, Teva, Keen are more outdoors brands. They do a lot of shoes, boots and sandals for walking, hiking and such.
Birkenstock not so much, but has been around a long time and known for quality and comfort (and price). I remember my sister getting gifted some from my grandparents when we were kids. An expensive sandal for kids for sure.
Honestly I probably still won't remember these brands even after having a conversation about them!
Birkenstocks were seen as hippie sandals or dad sandals, but have become really popular in the last few years. You might recognise them if you saw a pic of them
Probably not, how often do you look at a man's shoes?
Maybe it’s me then, but I do notice peoples shoes/clothes, particularly if it’s something popular.
Birkenstocks are pretty obvious for the cork soles and chunky leather straps, unlike most regular jandals/sandals people wear.
It was a Shawshank Redemption reference but I also don't notice these things. I don't pay much attention to clothing.
