Any day now, the weather will turn fall like, and hopefully this fall, I'll be far more emotionally equipped to go walking around/exploring. What this will require, it pains me to admit, is a somewhat more comfortable-for-walking pair of shoes.

I love birkenstocks. I love the sort of deliberate abandon (to me at least) of shoe-fashion a pair of old-school birkenstocks demonstrates. They don't-go with everything with equal aplomb, I never have to think about what to put on my feet, and while my heels and arches definitely end up sore by the end of the day, they're are entirely without blister-inducing properties.

But now I need to go find something else. And while I don't particularly mind dropping twenty bucks on a cute pair of shoes I'll wear a couple times, the kind of shopping I'll need to do in order to find walking shoes that please my aesthetic daunts me. (this week has ended up being one in which I use the word 'daunt' a lot.)

But I'm still hoping any day now, it'll be jeans and tshirt and shoes with socks weather and I can go walking about to my hearts content.
