Well, I would have posted this awhile ago, but there was other pressing concerns at the time. Anyhow, I’ve finally retired my old old sad pair of Birks, for this shiny spiffy pair. And black too! So thanks to Doris and Jeremy for the wonderful present!
Too bad I can’t seem to wear my brown belt anymore… sigh. 
They fit you well.
Cool, you and Vince will be the cool Birk dudes when you get here.. Did you get them from Zappos? My favorite , favorite online store?
