Reply to Question about Birkenstocks by ospreyintokyo

repeating what the other person said. not a manufacturer defect. normal wear and tear.

also look into the preventative maintenance like the sealants (talk to the shoe guys)

I hadn't heard this, but I like it. As someone getting really into crafting, this is kinda how my mindset has been shifting. Try if i like painting with crafter (cheap) paints, if I want to stick it out (or if I want to actually produce a high quality picture), artist quality paints and brushes.

doubling down here - yes get a good knife and learn to cut like a cook. faster, easier, more BIFL than one of these cheap choppers.

also, ngl these are kinda embarrassing. every person whose made me a meal where they've prepped food with this has turned out like shit. put the $30 towards a cooking class
