Sorry about this one. I have access to an awful lot of shoes in my business so it's funny that I end up wearing one pair almost exclusively. One pair that fits just right, feels just right, works for my needs and has lasted (with a bit of repair and modification) for over 12 years now. Not to say I NEVER wear anything else but these are my favorite. You will never find another pair quite like them and that is well, quite lucky for you! Here's a short history...
In the beginning there was a Birkenstock London, and it was very good. However, Birkenstock soles are not ideal in every situation. Answer: Vibram Kletterlift sole. A little stiff to start off with these took a bit of getting used to. Once used to the stiffer thicker sole I felt like I needed a little more arch support. My answer: Tatami footbeds from Birkenstock. Tatami is an off shoot of Birkenstock and they had sandals with a higher arch. So I took my beloved shoes down to their elements and replaced the footbeds (not like removing and replacing a pair of insoles, more like replacing the engine in your car). Feels great! I think I've found the perfect shoe. I just wish that they were easier to get on and off. No problem, I cut the backs off to make them a clog. Now don't get any ideas here, they are NOT for sale. So don't even tempt me with your offers! Do you have a favorite pair of shoes you just can't give up? Let me know!
