Birkenstock Piazza Silky Suede

I've always thought if traditional Birkenstocks were so comfortable, why'd they hurt so much if you accidentally stepped on a pair sideways. I did that once, hit those rigid edges, and OUCH! I saw the Birkenstock - Piazza Silky Suede, and they're certainly not what I remember Birkenstocks to be. Get them in this taupe color to slim down the boxy footbed, and I just might become a modern-day flower child.
