Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    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.
