    About the Author:

    Retro cartoon-style illustration of Gina Mama, creator of I Love Birkenstocks, walking her Springer Spaniel while wearing red Birkenstock Arizona sandals, cuffed jeans, a black t-shirt, and sunglasses in front of a café. The image highlights her laid-back California style, love for Birkenstock comfort, and the ilovebirkenstocks.com brand logo.
    Hi, I’m Gina Mama—the unapologetic Birkenstock addict behind I Love Birkenstocks. 👣 My teenage crush in the 90s wasn’t on a boy band—it was on a pair of Birks. I wore them for a decade straight (sorry, other shoes). After rekindling the flame in 2015, I’ve been diving deep into everything Birkenstock: the history, the styles, the care tips, and yes…the occasional rant about narrow soles. For me, Birks aren’t just sandals—they’re a lifestyle. Comfort, authenticity, self-expression… and maybe a little cork dust in my veins.
