Birkenstocks

[nicm]

Hi

does anyone know where i can get birkenstocks in ireland(north or south) or online? i bought a pair in amsterdam in the new year and need another pair badly, but can't find them anywhere here. please help

marthamoo, i think you've fastened them too tight. i did that when i got mine, but now they're looser, but they don't slip around like i feared they would, but my toes do all the work, iyswim. they are VERY comfy now, never take them off.

You can get them hwew from QVC

ebay, for about £16

you can get new soles on Birkenstocks (sometimes cheaper than buying new) although sometimes if not done at a Birkenstock sotre they don't last long.
Have you tried a google search?

Hated Birkenstocks, but love my Merrell Catalina sandals (if U cant find what U want).

try the office shoes website (I think it is called Office London?) - don't know if they deliver to Ireland though.

do a google.com search, I did and found this one
I bought a pair directly from germany called and they came within 2-3 weeks, and are great!

Don't order directly from the Birkenstocks web site. I ordered a pair of sandals in late May, have waited for them until now, and have just given up and cancelled the order. I also found it difficult to get them to answer e-mails enquiring about the state of the order. Quite the worst experience I have ever had with shopping on the net.

I got two pairs, brand new, on ebay - they were £24 a pair though, not £16 (maisystar where did you see them for £16?)

LaRedoute also do them (only Madrid style) - £29.

I am struggling a bit with mine, despite them being touted as the comfiest sandals in the world - I have bruises where the straps go across my foot and I get cramp quite a bit. I will persevere though...

if you go into ebay shops, the shop is called BQUEM. they are £17.99 buy it now the madrid ones so have gone up a bit from when i last lookes. the gizeh (toe post) are £24,90 but it no

I got mine off ebay, be careful there are a lot of fakes on Ebay as they sell them for £3 in Thailand and they fall aprt after a month or so!

sorry, that last bit was supposed to say buy it now!!

I did wonder, maisystar

I bought mine from an ebayer called bajankirsty - she has sold lots (though she hasn't any at the moment). They were boxed and definitely genuine - Madrids, in baby blue and baby pink, £24 a pair.

Try QVC,they do a whole programme on them,was on the other night.They have a website.I think it's QVCUK.com

Thanks everyone for your replies just ordered a pair from Footshop.de !!!!

FYI, if you want cheap birkie lookalikes, there's a shop in Woolwich High Street called 'Chockers' that sells all sorts of styles for between £7.00 to £15.00. Not as durable as the originals, but should last the rest of this summer.

It's too late for you but Schuh (? spelling) in Belfast do them.

I've bought from e-Bay, a seller with the user name, hableur-uk, he is in Germany, he sells Madrids for £17.99 plus £5.90 p&p, £1 extra for each extra pair of shoes you order. I have ordered from him twice the first time delivery took over three weeks the second time they were with me within the week, they are the genuine article.

On QVC on Thu is a birkenstocks programme at 10 and 8 o'clock.

Mine did just arrive from the Birkenstock website.

MI, what kind did you get?

Can a woman own too many pairs of birkenstocks? I own 3 and 1 pair for the garden....

I think they look like granary bread, a ittle

So, diehard Birkie fans...do they get comfier? When I was breaking in my DM boots (ah, those were the days...) I had to strap up my ankles with bandages but to be honest I thought I was too old and sensible to suffer for shoes nowadays.
