Friends Stopping Friends
You’ve been called Boho, Crunchy, Tree-hugger, Deadhead, Granola and on and on till’ the break of dawn. People point and stare, then giggle. But they don’t get it.
You are not a grungy hippie. While your beloved, worn in, strapped Birkenstocks may suggest an abundance of Dark Star headphone hours or leaf-like twirls in your favorite floor-length, tie-dyed prairie dress, the truth is, you’re wearing the most comfortable sandals on the planet and your feet thank you every time they’re strapped on. By the way, people who wear Birks don’t really care what you think; they’re too busy walking on air. Just ask Leonardo DiCaprio, Gwyneth or the staff at Shopzilla, who love their Boston Mocha Suedes. According to bestoftrendy.blogspot.com, Birkenstocks can even get you in the sack faster than Carrie Bradshaw’s Manolo Blahniks! Back in the day, Birkenstocks were available only in industrial grey with a black sole. And if you rocked them, ownership of a Dead bootleg or Volkswagen Van was de rigeur. But now, there are a massive number of new colors and designs available at Birkenstockcentral.com. Hey, you never know, you may want to look into Greenpeace next.

My girlfriends and I love our Birkenstocks!! We love them almost as much as we love each other. I have 10 pairs myself, and 4 more non-matching ones. I only wear those around the house, when it's not difficult to hop everywhere.
