Birkenstocker

Ok...I admit it. Some of my "looks" may err a little too far on the side of what I like to think of as "pottery teacher chic"-- but I just can't seem to get enough of my birkenstocks.  They've taken me through the years...from granola crunching camping trips through feminist musings in college and now play a clear role in a shoe closet packed with spiky heels, strappy sado platforms and less than comfortable counterparts.

What is it about these corked soled comfort mongers that I just can't get enough of? They are classic, they are current and between the clog, the t-strap and the classic...I don't really need another shoe!

Noticing lately that their own retail spots are going out- but their assortment online and in hip boutiques around LA seems to be going up as quickly as their own orthopedic themed locales are going down....anyone else feeling this resurgence as much as I am?
