Think back.....circa 1975.....
earth shoes.
god I loved my earth shoes, as soon as I put them on, I turned into a hobbit girl.
I have just acquired a pair, bought at Whole Earth Provisions.
I was so excited, I wore them out of the store.
The chakras of the girls at yoga class tonight will all turn green with envy.
In 1975 I bought my first Fox & Fluevog shoes - there were an open toed clog type thing decorated in the hippie type thing at that time (likely mushrooms). They were $35, which was a LOT to me at the tender age of whatever. They were Earthy type shoes (I've said 'type' a lot in this one passage, haven't I?).
Anyway, the good news is, I've showered and washed my hair!!!!!!!!!! And we're in a hotel surrounded, I say, surrounded by restaurants!!!!
Ciao. Chai.
@Mame,
Yeah, but I bet they don't send the cook out with a bucket if you ask for a glass of water.
@roger,
I tried earth shoes once. Nuff said, re my particular feet.
@Mame,

A new house may be in order for chai of the shire.

@Mame,
Ah, Fluevogs... I bought these in 1993 or so, adored them:
The angelic soles ("Resist alkali, water, acid and Satan"):
Today's earth shoes are called Birkenstock.
@CalamityJane,
I think Earth is still its own brand...
