Birkentocks - true to size?

[OhCobblers]

just found these but not sure if they come big, small or true to size?

i love my fit flops and intended buying a 2nd pair this summer but are Birkenstocks a good investment too??

Thanks

Come up a bit big. Love mine.

Bit big, go half a size down. I have five pairs, I am still wearing some that are 8 years old.

I'm normally a 4o, but take a 39 in Birkies.

I buy 38 but any other shoe am a 39/40

i always buy a size smaller in Birkies

definately down a size

are definately great for summer

Yep, down a size, they also come in two width fittings so best to check that you get the right ones. They are fabulous, could walk for miles in mine.

so definitely down a whole size rather than half?
the tk maxx ones done give details of the width fitting so not sure what that means?!

don't

I'm a 40 but wear a 39 in Birkies, which I think is 6.5 rather than 7 (which is why I said half a size)

Info here Oc - www.birkenstock.co.uk/index.php?m=catalogue&a=sizing

they have lovely ones in costco at the moment if you are a mmber, all patent jewel colours and v v cheap....

thanks for the link.

i think i'll find some instore first and try them on so i know for sure - that way if i spot a bargain in the right size i won't need to worry about potential returns!!

thank you

Keep an eye on TK Maxx if you have one near, they often have bargains.

tiddlymum i'm loving the silver!! how much are they pls? i know someone who is a member!!

Same as marion.

Size 6.5/7 shoes, wear a 39 birkies.

ohhhhh roll on summer

I want my Birkies !!

Also try a TJ Hughes if you have one near you.
I got my silver ones from there for 20 quid.

I love mine and they do get better the more you wear them.

I do recommend trying them on instore before ordering them online as they have different 'bed' widths as well.

PAforPM - I had mine on on Monday, the sun was out.

I was tempted, MC

but I live in Manchester

say no more

I'm in Cheshire so not far away. Go for it, your toes will thank you.

I have silver ones from a couple of years ago. They were realLY cheap. when went in Sat I only glanced but they were about twenty quid plus vat, can't be 100% because I didn't check.

get in there quick because when it gets a bit nicer they will sell out . Hot
pink patent are lovely....

TK MAxx online is where i'm currently looking - they've got a few pairs!!
ok so i'm a size 39 normally so should go for 38, ie, a UK 5, yes?
