These are great! I remember the first time I really felt old, I was looking at these newly arrived shoes called "Birkenstock" and I said to the salesman, "Oh, these are like Roots". He looked at me like I had just grown 11 new arms. I said, "You know, Earth shoes, from the 70s!" He looked me right in the eye and answered, "Ma'am, I was born in the 70s."

Boy, if I ever wanted to smack someone, it was right then!
