Alternatives to Birkenstocks

[HexBramble]

I love them - the way they mold to your foot shape makes Them so comfy plus, they last years.

Mine finally broke after 6 solid years of spring summer constant wear and now I want another pair. Any suggestions for something similar but with a different
brand am I making any sense?!

Clarks have a version this year which I've ordered.

If you love them why don't you just buy birkenstocks?

I have a pair of Mephisto sandals that are v similar in style, but a bit less 'flat footed'.

These mine are a bronzey snakeskin effect.

If you but the meohisto you may as well buy Birkenstock they are cheaper.
Not stylish as per s&b guidelines but I alternate between Birkenstock and fitflop with some clarks or office sandals as well as next and m&s

I'd just stick with birkenstock! You can get them on amazon for much cheaper than in shops.

Definitely get another pair of Birkenstocks perhaps in a different colour. Been wearing mine today around the house.

I buy mine in Costco, really cheap. This year I've got a green pair with a purple sole, lovely!

I've ordered a pair of mumsnet love em or hate em Seasalt sandals. Not sure if they will fit me though.

I recommend Mephistos. I've worn them for years & like that they're not as ubiquitous as Birkenstocks. I bought a pair of Birkenstock toe post sandals for a change last year but found them really uncomfortable. I've just ordered a new pair of toe post Mephistos for this Summer.

Now don't be silly, Hexy

You know you love Birkenstocks, you know they fit perfectly, you know you don't get blisters, or rubbing, you know they can get soaking wet and still recover, you know they last for ages, and you can have every colour possible.

Why would you buy an inferior product?

Agree with Rudy and Norks - I have at least 3 pairs of Birkies - why go for anything else?!

Send them off to be mended. Birkenstock do a repair service.

Birkies all the way!

Thanks for the tkmaxx tip

OMG
Far too blingy for me. I'm a strict brown boring leather sandal.

Aaaaahhhhhhh ok. I think I'll go for the old faithful birkies. Norks you are so right.

Viva - burkies have gone to the great shoe box in the sky. The repair shop would have had a task and a half on their hands fixing mine - they were literally down to the bone.

TkMaxx had kids sandals on weekend - i bagged a pair of blue ones for DD -11.99!! Bargain!

Betula are another range by Birkenstock, they're got lots of nice styles.
