Then all that’s left is to handle the weird, wiry hairs that sprout from a Birkenstock. Do this with a tough touch. “Hair removal from the toes is very important when wearing sandals,” says Dabbs. “Do so by using a gentle hair removal cream, which doesn’t give you any downtime.” So, your butter smooth, elegantly trimmed soles are ready for their big debut! Whatever to wear? “No flip-flops in the city!” exclaims celebrity stylist Luke Day. “They are for the beach only; you’re just asking for a stubbed toe on the Tube. If you want to free the toes, a smart leather sandal or Birkenstocks are somewhat acceptable,” he says, “but for me, loafers or even deck shoes are more appropriate.”
