rosebeeI bought new shoes!
I got 2 pairs. [Edit] I was looking at buying this particular shoe for the past couple of weeks. Then I stopped by the store on my lunch hour, and saw that the exact style of shoe I was looking at was 50% off! :D Only $60 each!! That's unheard of for Birkenstocks! I figured I better get a pair now, while they were on sale. I was only going to buy one pair, the taupe. Then the lady who was helping me said that the reason they're on sale is because they're discontinuing the style, and the sale was going to go on until they sold all the shoes. That's when I figured I should get both the colors I was debating. One in black suede, and the other in taupe (a dark tan/beige color). The other color they had (that you can see in the picture) is a dark brown. I have another very casual pair of clogs in that same color, and I'm really disliking it. It's nice & dark so it goes with a fair amount of stuff, but it's not the same as a good, dark black shoe.
They have the old-fashioned classic footbed that I like (lots of good toe room & arch support), and they're dressy enough to wear to work everyday! :D Because the strap is fairly far back on the sandal/shoe, they stay on really well and don't just slip right off like some of my other pairs.
Happiness is!!!
::bounces::
My wallet really wishes that the birkenstock store was further away from my office than the mere block & a half it is now. Birkenstocks are *all* I wear (though I do wear sneakers or hiking boots when I'm going for a walk or something), and I love them dearly. I own many, many pairs. Probably far more than I should.
I'm even thinking about whether or not I can wear a nice pair of white summer birkenstock sandals with my wedding dress! ::hangs head in shame:: I'm an addict, I tell you!

Date: 2005-04-21 09:23 pm (UTC)It's always kinda disappointing because I'm always seeing these cute little shoes (with or without heels) that I'd *love* to be able to wear, but they're never wide enough and they always pinch & hurt my toes.

I have wide feet too. :P It's genetic and makes it difficult for me to find a good pair of shoes that I'm actually happy with.
