I do not care if they have bright flash fuschium blinkers and a whoopie cushion to boot . these shoe rock . I live 3 hr from the birkenstock place I find they in WA , and when I head back that direction , I be clear the keen sale shelf , and buy a reg price pair that be appropriate in style for professional wear . the shoe be kind of wierd look . . but I see birkenstock as wierd look -lrb- which didnt work out for I -- very painful -rrb- . if you have plantar faciati -lrb- sp ? -rrb- problem , here be a house shoe answer . see , I also drop these shoe next to my bed so I can make it to the bathroom in the middle of the night without tear up my arch . they be so comfortable . and the shoe be breathable , but not cold , not hot , not prone to stretch with sock on , no sock wear . it be year of shoe nightmare come to a end . I have have 'em for 6 week now , weigh 235 lb -lrb- fluffy amazon chick -rrb- and the shoe look like it will hold it be own -- wet or dry . a challenge , consider size 6 , 110 lb girl shoe be make with the same material as the larger size ... like harness up a chihuahua the same as a St. Bernard !
