does anyone actually think birkies are flattering...?

dotn like footbed shoes full stop

I love the first pair but I don't do toeposts.

I don't care if my Birkies are flattering Grin

nailpolish · 13/06/2006 13:06

i am a size 2.5 and i wear them cos they are therefore small and dont flap about like flippers

i dont like the first ones

i like the second ones, more girly

next have nice pink sparkly and girly ones

Tutter · 13/06/2006 13:07

Birkies nicer imo

Like the white ones

harpsichordcarrier · 13/06/2006 13:08

no I don't do toeposts either marthamoo, they make me feel faintly queasy.
I do like Birkies in principle but was rather talked out of it by the Power of Mumsnet
oh and my friend who asked me if I wanted to look like a sapphic German geography teacher

Medulla · 13/06/2006 13:08

Nah i think I'll stick to my Birkies. Haven't taken them off for days!! :)

Next · 13/06/2006 13:09

toe posts are ok!!

harpsichordcarrier · 13/06/2006 13:09

blimey nailpolish 2.5? wow how very dainty you must be Envy

Greensleeves · 13/06/2006 13:09

what are "footbed shoes"?

BonyM · 13/06/2006 13:10

Birkies are ugly.

The white ones you linked too aren't too bad though.

oliveoil · 13/06/2006 13:10

Birkies are fabulous

They go with everything and don't hurt your feet

No to rip off versions!

BonyM · 13/06/2006 13:10

"to"

fullmoonfiend · 13/06/2006 13:10

like the white ones very much - but am horrified at the 'customers who bought these also bought...' section at the bottom. Bllleeuurrgghhh Grin

nailpolish · 13/06/2006 13:12

can anyone wear scholl or similar wooden shoes without getting aching calves

mine are killing me

nailpolish · 13/06/2006 13:13

fullmoon - god you a re right!

what a hideous lineup

NomDePlume · 13/06/2006 13:14

I hate wooden shoes. Not natural surely ? Your foot is MEANT to be flexible, how can heavy rigid soled shoes be of benefit ?

nailpolish · 13/06/2006 13:15

i cant work it out either ndp

i think they are too big for me

byut they are scholl

Enid · 13/06/2006 13:16

scholls are excercise sandals

thjey are meant to excercise your calves like taht

NomDePlume · 13/06/2006 13:16

they look gross too, nearly always seen on women with very cracked, dirty feet

NomDePlume · 13/06/2006 13:16

piss my pants @ 'exercise sandals'

nailpolish · 13/06/2006 14:44

well im stopping wearign them

at this rate my calves will be like dame kelly's

CountessDracula · 13/06/2006 14:47
