Thanks to the OREGONIAN Newspaper and an article about comics, and a man that lived in a hobbit hole, traveles with his family in a VW bus....SIMPLE SHOES out of Santa Barbara CA were discovered.

Wonderful earth friendly company.

Browse from the topside of the webpage - great clogs - great shoes - people you can know.....

Birkenstock looks industrial, commercial, yuppie, or San-Fran-Friscoish....in comparision

These are people....not a corporation:
