Birkibuc is the nubuck version. The footbed is still leather though, unless you buy the Birkenstocks labeled vegan.

Not sure if it's a "fake Birk" issue or the fact that people are trying to accommodate for the thong. I've been wanting these for a while. I think I am just going to bite the bullet and try to buy from a local store so 1- I know it fits and 2- I know it isn't a fake.

    I would definitely try locally. I bought mine from Nordstrom at the beginning of the summer. I'm glad I tried them in-store because my feet were swimming in my regular size. I had to size down.

    I am so glad that I found them locally to try because I normally wear a 10-10.5 but the 40's were a better fit, even with my foot injury/arthritis. Still might have to buy them online because they didn't have the color that I wanted in stock but at least I know my size.

    I got some for my daughter at Costco in mid-June. Only the oiled black and Gizeh style. They were 50.00!
    I went back the next week to get two pairs for family, and they were gone. Maybe see if any of the Costcos still have them.

    Wow!!! That's a fantastic deal!!! Nope...I've actually checked my local store and website after reading about it a couple weeks ago on Slickdeals. That's the color I was hoping to buy.

    I decided to return the pair that I bought locally because I didn't like the color. I just looked on Amazon and saw that black Gizeh's are on sale for <$70 w/free returns...I am going to give them a try. Fingers crossed...

    As long as they are sold by Amazon or 6pm.com I wouldn't worry. Look for the made in Germany markings, the imprinted Birk on he bottom sole, and on the buckle.
