I found out about Birkenstock shoes while working many long hours on my feet.  As an R.N., walking and standing for up to 16 hours isn't unusual, neither is very sore feet.  Especially when you break your heel and have to have surgery to fix the break!!

My first pair of Birkenstock Boston white shoes, recommended by a fellow nurse, convinced me.  Now, if I am wearing shoes, they are Birkenstocks - clogs, sandals, doesn't matter.  My feet do not hurt.  They are really well made, last a very long time and I think they are really pretty.

They ain't stilletos; but, my feet do not hurt - ever.  If walking in comfort is important to you, these are the shoes for you.
