Birkenstocks are terrific shoes if you have the right kind of foot for them (A or AA will find even the narrow width too wide). I was developing the early signs of plantar fasciitis and just happened to start wearing Birkenstock sandals at that time. It was only six months later that I realized the nature of the pain I was having, and that the Birks had fixed it.
They even make some lines that are funky in an artistic way (rather than the broken-down refugee-from-the-sixties way). I particularly like the Papillio line and have several Papillio Boston clogs with interesting colorful patterns on them. The Footprints line also has lots of shoes that are suitable for business wear -- nothing suitable for fancy evening wear though, unless you tend to mingle with the high-heeled sneaker crowd.
Wear them in good health!
