Spotting Fake/Knock Off Counterfeit Birkenstocks (Part 3)

6/17/2018

 
Dear Readers,
​
My blogs on 
How To Spot Fake Birkenstocks are some of the most read posts on my webpage.  Sandal season is in full swing in the US, and  Part 1 and Part 2 of this blog series, are getting lots of hits.  With that, is an influx of emails from readers, asking me to authenticate their recent Birkenstock purchases, from potentially shady online retailers.

The intention of my blogs was to help readers avoid purchasing fake Birkenstocks.  Not for me to help every single individual authenticate a purchase, after the fact, via emails -- with pictures.  In the post, Spotting Fake/Knock-Off/Counterfeit Birkenstocks (Part 2), I have VERY clearly illustrated 21 ways for a buyer to avoid purchasing fake Birkenstocks.   And, yet, I continue to receive scores of emails asking for help determining whether an item is real or fake.

If, after reading this blog, you continue to have questions, concerns, or doubts about the authenticity of your Birkenstocks, please do not email me photos of your shoes!  I do not work for Birkenstock!!  I cannot and will not verify the authenticity of your Birkenstocks via email.   

My blog is something that I do on my free time.  It is a hobby and I do it for fun.   Let me be clear.  This is not my job.  I do not get paid.  The information that I share on my page is posted for FREE.  The time that I spend replying to emails is my free time, it is not paid work time and it is starting to feel like it.  

I have been inundated with inquiries from readers, along with hundreds (if not thousands) of photos.  Each one asking to verify the authenticity of a Birkenstock purchase.  I simply do not have the time to answer each and every one of these emails.   Frankly, it is a problem of which I recommend that you make Birkenstock aware.  

I suggest that you use my blog more as a reference manual.  Refer back to this blog to answer your own question(s).  I am confident that you will find the answer(s) to your question(s).  The answers are there.  The fact that you are questioning the authenticity of your Birkenstock purchase, is an enormous clue, that the Birks in question, are most likely not the real deal.

Please contact Birkenstock directly or take your Birkenstock purchase to an authorized retailer and ask them your question(s) in person.  Have an authorized expert look at the shoe, feel the shoe, hold the shoe, bend the shoe, and feel the weight of the shoe to help you determine whether your shoe is an authentic Birkenstock.  If your Birkenstocks are counterfeit, then you will be in the correct place to buy yourself a real pair.
​
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Kindly,
