Birkenstock Sandals - Me?

Just being upfront, I am not really much of a sandals guy and the last person to wear a pair of Birkenstocks or Birkies.  This has changed thanks to Inge and Roy some of our Camino buddies who introduced me to the plastic Birkenstock Arizona sandal.   These things are classic style Birkenstock but made of that plastic material similar to that used in the Crocs.

Super light, water impervious, comfy, inexpensive and sock compatible make these the perfect apres Camino walkable shoes.  Just right for giving your feet a break after all day in a hiking boot.

I bought a pair of these last winter and have become huge fan.  These are house slippers, hostel shower shoes, garden dog walking, car washing, beach shoes of choice. Very comfortable but I cannot vouch for the durability yet but at this price not really a big deal.
