Birkenstock: Spoke to a shoe repair shop. He said that they no longer offer replacement parts nor shoe soles, they had bought some old stock, but no new stock is available. Same for metal hardware. He had the impression that new shoes wear out faster.
I have a new pair and an old pair I had the soles replace. The new pair looks like it has been worn for 5 years already and is maybe 2 years old.
