does anyone actually think birkies are flattering...?

I love toe posts! Find them much comfier and stay on more easily too. Have just bought a nice pair of 2" wedge heeled sandals from Jones which are suprisingly comfortable but not for the dash up to school that I'm about to do. For that I need my trustworthy, comfy toe post Wrangler sandals - any more toe post lovers out there or is it just me?

I lurve my toe posts too.

yep they are fab

I love toe posts too.

I've had the brown ones for about 2 years now and they are still looking good and my absolutely fave pair of summer shoes - toe-post doesn't rub at all.

prufrock - the brown ones are to replace identical white ones that i bought 3 years ago (and have worn on sunny days ever since) - agree, so comfortable.

me and moo = wearers of comfy shoes.
I don't do toeposts.
Cheapo Birkie rip-offs wear out quicker and the footbed stink and the suede crinkles.
I don't have horned hooves any more thanks to Cod's marvellous footcream.

GB see my comment about durability - i think these are as good, honest

I might consider, sans toeposts.

I@ve got the brown ones of \link{http://order.next.co.uk/page.asp?b=X37&p=272&o=1\these} - the picture of 3 sandals, turquoise, brown and white. They're fab as I was able to punch an extra hole int he strap to accomodate my thin flipper like feet :o

soupy - they're like the birkies i hate (gathering dust in wardrobe, white, size 38 - you're welcome to em!)

i have thin feet adn fint a long toe post doesnt suit them

birkies!!
eeeeeekkk
they make me look like a caricature lesbian

cod by a long toe post do you mean like the one that soupie linked to? I have wide feet and struggle with them although actually I think it is my high arch that is the problem.

My flippers are a 40 :o And very narrow and these ones are fine, Cod. For me the key is the fact that they're adjustable so fit snugly across my foot.

Toe posts are all the rage in the US

just bought \link{http://www.chacousa.com/products/ProductColors.cfm?cID=9&pID=16\these}

Anyone tried Mephisto ? They are the only toe post sandals I can wear - very good quality. OK, not fairy - like and elegant but very comfy if you're on your feet all day.

I'm gutted - was trying on Birkies in JL today and found them uncomfortable - and I so wanted to buy a pair after all the hype on MN

I put up with my ugly, manly feet in Birkenstocks because of the comfort. That's the sad truth. I always buy patterened or nice coloured birkies and wear nail varnish and a toe ring which goes some way to feminising the outcome, but it's a compromise.

Soupdragon, I bought something similar in Shoe Zone (?) last year for about £8 in a pinky/orangey colour.

V comfortable - I have skinny flippers too!

What about crocs, does anyone like those?

Since we live in the land of Crocs - Boulder designed - we all wear them. The little ones for kids with the jibbitz - add on ladybugs, fish etc etc are brilliant. They are comfy and waterproof need I say more.

I love my German lesbian feet.
Have Papilio which are quite funky and a pair off gross brown arizonas. DH asked me when I was getting the dungarees.

I have such flat feet that Birkies hurt them
