Interesting. I have worn Birkenstocks for the last twenty years on the advice of my doctor. I have quite a collection.
I voted for Trump and I shop Walmart for some groceries. My husband probably owns a gun for every pair of Birkies I have, and at age 78 I know damn well the climate isn’t changing.

Birkenstocks are the Chipotle of footwear. Like opting for a burrito bowl and a side order of guac at the end of a long workday, you wear them when you’re in no mood to try. And you don’t feel too bad about it either, because they reek of integrity and liberalism and therefore don’t invite the same harsh criticism as things like foam flip-flops or Arby's. But still, too much Chipotle is never a good thing.
