They look comfy and cozy. Are they?

chuckle. Do you have to brush them before going to bed?

Nope. Never seen them. However, wondering if shoe polish or even permanent market could color the white? And, if the protrusion does cause issues (read various reviews that said there is a considerable break-in period) could a shoe repairer shave off a little? That’s my tooth cents. 🙂

Hmmm. I do have closed toe, closed heel birks because we need them here. (and they are the only kind of shoes I can wear) but not this pair. I have old ones that are so well broken in and have quite changed—they were that suede-ish nubuck leather and when that looked bad I started using leather protector on them and finally this year I polished them with a dark brown polish (what we had on hand). They now look like shiny leather and much newer than they did. I have worn the bottoms slick, which isn’t good here, but the new ones I have are taking forever to break in. Much stiffer as they are the cork with the rubber/plastic bottoms and the old ones were all one piece softer plastic. The new ones have thicker leather too which should last a long time but is stiffer.
I wonder if you can locate a shoe repair person that does Birks out there? They might be able to trim, shave or buff the toes a little more snubbed off? They might be trippy. They won’t stay bright white, they will mellow nicely, but the tripping part would be a problem.

Can’t help as I’ve never seen them before, but I do hope you are able to enjoy them.
