text: My first pair of Birkenstocks. Cuter design than most so I took the plunge. Love the silver color. But walking in them takes some getting used to. Not as comfortable at first as I thought they would be. Although somewhat cute, I still couldn't get away from that washed up hippie look. Husband hates them but I wear them anyway because of they weren't cheap. I come from a land where women wear really cute shoes.
