Needless to say, Birkenstocks are a gift from the foot gods. If you’re lazy, Birkenstocks are great because you don’t have to fasten any buckles or tie and laces. If you’re walking from the Units to Tolman Hall, Birkenstocks are as comfortable as can be. The one thing we can’t attest for is their beauty, but to that we say, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

How could a school in a town called Berkeley not sport shoes colloquially called “birks”? If you’re contemplating buying a pair, or just simply want to know if your pair(s) of Birkenstocks are a true representation of your personality, take the following quiz.
