A while back I was telling a friend that I'd gotten a couple of new linen tops. She asked me about wrinkling. I asked, "Do you respect wood?" which led to me trying to convert her to linen and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I've thought about it but the silver finish is really dinged up and there's no fixing that. I'll probably just keep wearing them until they fall apart!
No! There is a way to repaint them. I had the copper-color ones that streaked terribly, and I repainted them and it totally worked. Of course now I have to re-sole mine. Here are the instructions from the internets: http://www.ilovebirkenstocks.com/blog/category/bespoke-birkenstocks

Ha! These are both worthwhile conversion attempts.
Don't ditch yer silver birks - get them re-soled / rehabbed. It's the Oregon way. Try Footwise. Also, stripes continue to look great on you.
