I finally decided to pull the trigger on getting a real pair of Birkenstocks. For years I've wanted a real pair, and the Walmart knockoffs aren't cutting it. I waited to get them for a trip back home. I decided that the to mile hike to the top of Spencer's Butte would be perfect for breaking them in... horrible decision. It's not that my feet weren't comfortable, it was that the top leather was still so stiff I gave myself gnarly blisters on the tops of my feet.
