I am thinking of buying some Birkenstocks....

talk me into it/out of it
where's the best place to get fake ones
I fancy some floral ones really

i just dont like them

hardly sexya re they

I am thinking of getting some for my holiday. Going to be doing a lot of walking and need to go for comfort more than anything else. I get blisters so bad - need something that might stop them. Hope they are as comfortable as I have been told they are.

the footbed doesnt fit me
haev chicken feet

well I was thinking these for every day wear
wedges for when I am not walking
I have nice feet, mind

I have two pairs and love them. vv comfortable. Not sure about the flowery pattern though!!

Hulababy - if you do get some for your holiday, make sure you get them well in advance and break them in first - they take a little while to get used to and get much more comfortable after a few weeks of regular wear and the footbed has moulded to the shape of your foot.

woo hoo get you!

:)

Okay, I need to start looking then. Holiday is in 7 weeks. Off to Florida so I really do mean lots of walking. Last time my feet were so badly coered in blisters that got infected :( It's the humidity mixed with my really dodgy feet!

yes, and I have very sexy feet
men have been known to become overcome with desire at a flash of toe

be aware, if you order online, that you may need to get a size smaller than you usually wear - I am normally 39 or 40, but my Birkies are size 38.

If you are in London, you can go to the Birkenstock shop in Neal St, Covent Garden, and they have a board thing on the floor with all the different size footbeds on it and you can try them all out until you find your size.

You can get them on ebay for under £20

my feet are very sexy too

as long as I remember to wax my toes

Was going to go and look in shop somewhere in town, and then see where best place to buy is once I know style and size :)

If the rest of you is drop-dead gorgeous, like moi, I think you can not worry about sexy shoes and go for cool and comfy. It makes a good contrast. (I'm a walker too, and have too many itsy bitsy shoes languishing in my wardrobe which just haven't passed the trudge to school test :( )

I have got small wide feet and the Birkenstocks's in my size are almost exactly square. Bugger comfort - it is so not a good look.
