Birkenstocks. How do they fit?

[Nbg]

Can't decide what size to buy as I can be a 6 or 7.

TIA

[hulababy]

Just about to order some Papillo ones in the narrow fitting but differing over size. I am normally 3.5-4. I tried a 4 on and they were too big. Shop had nothing smaller. Then tried a 3 on in a normal Birkenstock and that was too big too, but may have been width.

What size?!?!?!

And best/cheapest place to buy?

[YellowFeathers]

Might even paint my toenails to match!

[Gingerbear]

Orange?
Ah, so you'll be looking like a Dutch tourist then?

[YellowFeathers]

I got them today

They are very nice. A gorgeous Orange colour and so comfortable.

i have 2 pairs fro last year (drool!!!!), pink madrids and white arizonas (which are so comfy).

thinking about some more madrids.... silver or something shiny, but I am not 100% sure what to do.... i got normal width and they're basically ok, but the madrids are looser around the sides than my arizonas... how much difference does NARROW make? I usually have fairly narrow feet, but am just not sure.

I think it was your recommendation that got me onto them, Yorkiegirl. Am about to order sandals for the DDs now.

[Yorkiegirl]

I got mine and DH's from footshopping, fantastic service!

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Get them from footshopping.com! V cheap and v quick delivery. Great range of styles/patterns, they do all the Papilio range and the Heidi Thing ones for people with little sticks for feet.

Oooh they would look fabbo with some white sports socks though

[Gingerbear]

green

[NingNangTakethat]

Which colour?

[Gingerbear]

bought a new pair today. Arizona. I look like a German tourist. (No socks though)

[foxinsocks]

I have just got the silver ones aswell - they had sold out of the size the woman thought I should have (36) but I had the light blue ones in 37 so got the silver in that size and they are great! They do seem to be selling fast.

Sneaking on to admit that I've just bought 3 pairs of papillo ones today from baumhouse.com ( can't do links tonight!!)

Came to £60 including postage from Germany for all three which I thought was pretty good.

Lived in mine last summer when pregnant and still have whizzened bits of tanned feet but have decided that they will be all i wear all summer again!!

[Hazellnut]

right this thread has finally prompted me to buy the silver ones I have wanted the last two years but they've alwayts sold out by the time I get round to it so just ordered from ebay ! hoorah - all excited now !!

[controlfreaky]

[puddle]

The white rameses (with silver studdy bit) rule.

[bundle]

i have white 2-strap
and pink 2-strap

[Nbg]

I like the white but they do remind me of nurses and beauticians.

I love the patent ones but I can imagine them being alot harder then the normal leather.

[Enid]

i have silver, pink and new red

dont get white though (nurses shoes)

[foxinsocks]

I loved mine last year - have exactly the same pair as Nbg but in light blue. They start to feel like slippers after wearing them in.

Have tried wearing them again in the last few days but I find they are not as comfortable as they used to be, sob sob.

[Nbg]

lol satine

There was only 1 pair of hers that I liked, the silver but I wouldn't pay £140 for them.

[satine]

Have taken an irrational dislike to Heidi Klum now as her birkenstocks only go up to 41 and are in narrow only. Just because she's a twiggy fool who only eats a couple of grapes a week, she won't let us more - ahem - feminine ladies wear her shoes. Well, pooey bums to her, as my ds would say.

[SecondhandRose]

I thought I was mad with 3 pairs, silver, bronze and pale pink but perhaps I need more.
