Almost brand new. Worn about two times. Below is the product information from the website I ordered them from:


Classic two-strap style in suede with fully adjustable straps and shock-absorbing EVA sole.

Product Details

* Upper material: Suede - We use thick and supple leathers without additional dyes to keep the leather breathable, durable and comfortable.
* Footbed: Our original Birkenstock footbed - Featuring pronounced arch support, a deep heel cup and a roomy toe box. Covered with a suede liner. The footbed molds and shapes to your foot.
* Sole material: EVA - Flexible, durable, lightweight, shock resisting soling material.

I payed 110.00 usd for them but with shipping, they came out to be about 140.00 with tax and korea's tax on them also. They are awesome shoes that are incredibly comfortable and great for someone who travels a lot and needs that pair of one good shoes for the summer and any other time for that matter. I ordered the wrong size and unfortunately they are just too big for me. They are a size 39 which is like an 8-8.5 in US size. I'm looking to get at least 80,000 won for them. Feel free to offer me a price.

Please email me if you are interested: [email protected]
I will not check or answer posts on this website.

Costco sell them at a very respectable price too.

I don't remember the exact price but it was less than half of what the OP is asking.

If you knew birkenstocks, you'd know that the pairs they sell at Costco are NOT suede. Suede birkenstocks are pricier.

What do you guys do all day? Sit around and critique people's attempts at trying to make some extra cash on stuff we don't need anymore..What a pathetic hobby.

Well, I've been wearing Birks for 20 years and they looked real to me. The box, the buckle, the bottom of the shoe, the markings on the sole all in order. The price is pretty cheap, but there they were. I would have bought them, too, but they only go up to a 39 in women's and I wear a (gasp!) 40.

Not to burst your bubble, but they sell Birkenstocks right now at Costco for about 40,000won. I have been buying them from there for over 2 years. Best place to buy them new. Sometimes limited colours tho.

Only worn twice?? Did you not take off your shoes for an entire month and are counting that as "one time"? Shocked
