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

TIA

Sneaking on to admit that I've just bought 3 pairs of papillo onesBlush 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!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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?
