Just had to do an emergency u-turn on the Broadway Bridge in traffic because there was a car completely engulfed in flames on the bridge in front of me. I seriously hope they got out in time.

Since I destroyed my ankle wearing a pair of @birkenstocks, I am now in the market for another pair of sandals that 1) have good traction and the soles don't wear out and get slick in a month like Birks and 2) don't look dorky. I realize this is a huge ask. Anyone?
