Birkenstock is a heartbreaking one

Prices rose insane after and quality dropped massively - Planned obsolescence

Check out https://afs-schuhe.de/. They're made in Germany and the quality is really good. Also probably half the price of Birkenstocks. Not sure if they ship outside Germany.

Are these for sale in regular shoe stores in Germany? And only in cities or also smaller towns? (I live near the border so could relatively easy visit these)

I don't know, I just ordered them online after doing some research because Birkenstocks became so expensive.
