Birkenstocks

[LIZS]

Briefly tried a pair on today .They seem really stiff what is it that makes them so allegedly comfy ? Do they need wearing in ? And you buy so as there is room at toe and heel .

Birkenstocks are ugly.

They do need wearing in.

I found mine q uncomfortable at first but now I love them. Never any blisters now, even on the hottest, stickiest day. I have the Madrid style.

I do not think they are lovely, and my silver pair seem to go with loads of my summer wardrobe.

never needed to wear mine in at all
maybe your foot is not suited to them?

oops meant to say feet not foot

most of my friends - and me - had to wear them in (even with my 2nd pair)

I love my birkie madrids too, my shocking pinks ones were finally thrown out I now have black ones

I had to pad mine in a little but I am flat footed and the arch is quite high. They are super comfy now though, had the same pair for 5 years and I wear them all summer.

I have to break mine in every summer but after a couple of wears, they are the most comfortable shoes ever. My feet are very wide and they fit great. And last forever. Well worth paying a bit more for.

they were a welcome relief today after walking around all day in my wedges, ahhh the comfort

Mine hurt my shins when I first got them and where the strap goes over the top of your foot.

I've had them a few months now though and they're fab.

They need to be worn in. The footbed is designed to mould to your foot. They can be stiff and a bit uncomfortable at first, but I have never had a blister from them - and I've got 9 pairs!

do they come in different widths?
the ones I have tried on are just so wide my feet slip round even though they are the right length

they are so last year anyway

go for strappy

these

You can get narrow birki's, but I've only ever seen them on the internet, never in shops.

beetroot they're horrib;e and flat as a pancake too

they are the new thing this summer

birkies are flat too

I'm obviously sooooooooooooo last season lol

I'm sure I've seen a picture of Gwyneth Paltrow wearing those gladiator gold jobs
I'm not sure if thats a Good Thing

office must be sooo last season have a great big display as you go in there

you heard it hear first

office is hardly trend setting!

here

you buy birkenstocks for the footbed. not the fashion.
although you can buy them in almost any colour imaginable, and at twenty pounds a pair, well, i've got three, and want another one.

twenty pounds a pair?? Where?
