I like the Jesus-mountain learned to love

I Grew up in a terraced house with the house number 177. So as our house that the neighbors stuck so closely to my friendship with the number 175 of the living family, in particular with the youngest of the three daughters. While my parents were rather to the more stringent variety, used to those my girlfriend a majority of anti-authoritarian parenting style. In short, Our leisure, we spent more with her than with me. Your parents I called, as the three daughters deeds – Abba and Ima, father and mother in Hebrew.

The family conducted a more ecologically conscious life. She had no car, ate vegetarian, and only biologically. Ima dyed her hair with Henna and always had colorful clothes. Abba had a Beard and the feet Birkenstock sandals. As much as I liked him, so terrible I found mountain, his Eco -. I could not understand how to wear such ugly shoes voluntarily, and even with socks could combine. Comfortable, and ergonomically sensible. But Abba wore back in the 1980s, always with his beloved sandals, with his hairy, I see toes still in front of me.

I Never would wear voluntarily, such Slippers. Even Kate Moss would have changed nothing.

As Corinne Day in the summer of 1990, Kate Moss in Jeans, Top and a pair of Birkenstocks for the magazine "The Face" photographed, went on a Hype about the Made in-Germany sandals. I was too young back then to have a bit of catch, but would be reacting only with a shake of the head. Never would I voluntarily give such Slippers. It is also not a beautiful picture gallery with Kate had changed Moss something.

Then Phoebe Philo came. The designer presented her spring/summer 2013 collection for Céline. She sent her Models in Birkenstock knock-offs with fluffy fur soles on the catwalk. How could you? Such bulky sandals combined with the Philo-typical noble minimalism? Terrible! And with fur insert? Ugh! I was horrified. But also Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy and Giambattista Valli similar to ugly shoes celebrated in their collections, prophesied of fashion critics, a soon-to-be Trend of the width-strap sandals. For me, it was all one big fashion faux pas.

It should not take long until the whole fashion Blogger and celebrity nachzog world, and with it, the commoners. Initially, I thought that the people really participate, even the ugly Trend. But gradually I began to accustom myself to the sight of the chunky sandals, which have served me every day in magazines, street style pictures and Blogs. Model Daria Werbowy, fashion expert, Caroline Issa, and even actress Tilda Swinton wore Birkenstocks. So I lost peu à peu my negative attitude. I came to the conclusion that Birkenstocks were not so ugly. Rather, they were combined to elegant Outfits for a successful break in style, and more ease.

In the summer of 2013, I had a pair of Birkenstocks at a Shoe store for the first Time on my feet. After the feeling of well-being when Trying on clothes – this foot bed is Wellness! – I realized what I was doing, and quickly searched the Wide. But soon I should accept that I'm not armed against the seductive power of fashion trends. I was weak. Since 2014 I own a Pair of Arizona Black, Birkenstock classic two-strap.

My feet orthotic foot bed appreciate, at work, in the same way as when shopping.

I must confess that I initially had difficulty with my sandals. To wear them at home or to shop, came to me easily. To drive in the city or even to work, gave me a queasy feeling. The comments my partner did the Rest ("I have never seen such an unattractive Shoe!", "Do you really want your Jesus Slippers?").

soon, However, I enjoyed my solid companion, and my feet appreciated the orthopedic foot bed, at work, in the same way as when you Drink or when shopping. But it is precisely in the moment that I made peace my with the sandals that started me, the flood of Birkenstock-carrier for the first time, to nervous, so I mean today is only on long walks or city trips carrying. This is also part of a trend.

Nice, I can't find the belt to the Shoe while still, but that's okay, because it is also less aesthetic pieces have their charm. How my relationship to the current Ugly is to develop Pieces as belly bag or Cycling shorts, it will show. I know one: What's not coming today for me to question, could tomorrow be a part of my wardrobe.
