Each new pair of Birkenstock takes about a week of constant wear to really adjust to your individual foot. After that, you experience a sensual foot massage upon each step! I even wear them around the house sometimes, when there is no real reason to wear shoes.
I also experienced a brief adjustment period where muscles I had forgotten about woke up and got sore for a few days, since it has been a while since I wore a pair of Birkenstock.
I always wore the standard two-strap leather sandals. Every year, I couldn't wait for the weather to turn warm enough to break them out! Then, I started working on that Birkenstock tan...you know, the burned-in white stripes on
your feet all summer.
Now, I have a pair I can wear to work every day. This is a truly monumental development.
