My wife is a Birkenstock nut. She probaly has about 12 pairs and is always looking for more. Most of the Birk's she has were bought from Ebay at much lower prices than retail, so that makes me feel a little better about her habit! She did recently buy me a pair of Milano and I wore them all day at Busch Gardens Wednesday, and I must say they were really comfortable. The only thing is you have to break them in since the cork needs to comform to your foot shape.
