I LOVE MY BOSTONS!
I bought a pair of Bostons about 6 months ago, and have probably worn them 4 days out of every week since then. They are a little bit funny looking- but so are all
Birkenstocks. If you love your feet, you will buy them some
Birkenstocks. If I never had to
dress up, I would wear
Birkenstocks and
Teva sandals all the time (which isn't to say Birks aren't dressy.. because they can be).. My only suggestion is to find out which size
Birkenstock you wear, and buy them online on ebay or something. All the footbeds are the same- so they are shoes you can really buy without trying on.
