I know it's a cliché for folkies to wear Birkenstock sandals – but I really do love mine. And no – I don't wear them with socks. But it's one of the few types of footwear that gives me the arch support that I need. I don't get to wear them at work { and I wouldn't wear them on stage } but I wear them just about everywhere else. If you don't wear Birkenstocks – what are you're favorite pair of comfortable shoes?
