How come my Birkenstock shoes still won't rot?


why my Birkenstock shoes still won't rot?
I have been wearing this German brand sandals, which are designed for people don't care about their looks, put it in a nicer way, for people who are down to earth. I have purchased my first pair in high school and replace them when the old one wore out. But never own two at the same time.

The pair that I wear at the moment can be dated back to the last year of university. It is an all purpose shoes. I wore it trekking, to my thesis defence, running after buses, biking in my back allies, walking into some one's life and walking out off it.

Come to think of it, it lasts longer than all my relationships. All of a sudden, a fit of anger rises up and I look down on my sandals and cursed them. You can repair rubber on the sole of your sandals but not the sore on your heartache.
