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

TIA

I dont like the ones with the white sole. prefer the black sole.

Nbg · 08/05/2006 23:23

Yes I was just thinking that too.

not for the summer dahlink

Nbg · 08/05/2006 23:27

Have you ordered from these guys before? If so does it really take 1-2 weeks for delivery?

CF2, what not for summer? White or dark sole?

They have reduced the orange ones to £19.95!

I like \link{http://www.birkenstock.co.uk/index.php?m=catalogue&a=vw_prod&wprid=5&colid=71&fabric=1\the red un patent}

oops that linked to the others but im sure you can find them.

They are more addictive than MN. Consider yourself warned. Mine have never stunk either. I agree about the black soles. The white always look dirty.

controlfreaky2 · 08/05/2006 23:28

not the dark sole for the summer...unless you plan on wearing black all summer

Cadmum · 08/05/2006 23:29

Sorry...feeding a baby and using 1 hand.

Ledodgyherring · 08/05/2006 23:29

No the sole needs to be black IMO too many birkie copies with white sole. I think they look cheap.

Nbg · 08/05/2006 23:30

I think the white is growing on me a bit now. I prefer the colours.

I don't know wether to order or not as we're awaiting a date for imminent move. Knowing my luck they won't turn up!

you can wear them ALL summer then chuck them if too rancid (but mine have lasted longer than that). when you buy genuine birkies info in box even has info re sending them off for new lining etc. v green and fantastic value. can you tell im a bit of a fan??

Ledodgyherring · 08/05/2006 23:32

I like the white sole on the white Birkies but thats it!

Nbg · 08/05/2006 23:33

controlfreaky2 · 08/05/2006 23:34

nbg. just do it. youll love them.

Ledodgyherring · 08/05/2006 23:34

and they are supposed to tone up your calf muscles as you walk!

Nbg · 08/05/2006 23:36

Yes I want to but will they arrive before I move?

1-2 weeks is a long time!

beauty / comfort / excersise and all for under #40. whats not to like?

controlfreaky2 · 08/05/2006 23:37

phone them in am and x xamine them re delivery

snowbird · 08/05/2006 23:38

nbg I've just ordered some from schuh and they only took a couple of days (ordered wednesday night and got them today!). I went for khaki in the end.

Nbg · 08/05/2006 23:41

Will just check their Schuh then for prices and colours.
Thanks for that!

OP posts:
Nbg · 08/05/2006 23:56

I think I'll order off Schuh. Their delivery is £2 cheaper and it they'll come quicker too.

Now to decide on a colour!

Ledodgyherring · 08/05/2006 23:59

Let us know what you decide, I can't believe we've been discussing birkies for nearly 2 hours Grin
