So what colour Birkenstocks this summer...?

[Rockdoctor]

That's it really - I need a new pair of Madrids to last me all summer. I'm tempted by the pastel colours, or even navy, but wonder if I should just stick to a classic black patent.

I went for Madrid in a dark gold, think they were called brown-gold or similar. I love them

I love my patent navy blue with red soles

I'm going with 'whichever ones TK Maxx have in'. It makes the decision making process much easier

I've just bought navy with red soles. I've seen an orange pair with purple soles, would quite like those as well!

Oooh I feel like a purchase coming on. Where is selling for decent prices atm??

I bought mine online from Germany on this website for £29.99 including postage and they arrived in 3 days.

I noticed a lot in TKMaxx yesterday but they only had the Madrids (in quite bright colours from what I remember).

Has anyone seen the Gizeh ones for a good price anywhere?

I got some Milano ones from Amazon for £25 last week. Dark blue, matt finish.

Slightly too big but with another hole they will be fine.

I've just ordered mocha ones form the GB version of the site 2fat4that suggested. There seems to be a shortage of colours on my size in the style i like this year.
I have navy Gizeh ones though that are great

They have them in Costco if you are near one.

I was going to say costco too. That's my way of buying. Whichever gizeh costco have in stock when I go in.

I've procured a Costco card. I'm buying Birkenstocks this weekend, hurrah!

Crocs are cheap for the dc as well £15. Also havaianas and nike trainers.
Chicken ham and leek pie, pancake mix, maple syrup, skippy peanut butter, Nutella. Huge bunch of bananas for £1, large tub if pomegranate seeds for £2.99, pink lady apples that are huge again £2.99 and juicier than any supermarket ones. And the chicken fillet burgers! Frozen ones teenage dc here love them.

I bet you don't just but Birkenstocks

I don't think I will either. The tear and share garlic bread is amazing too, and they do big packets of fresh crab pasta.

I'm going to end up spending a fortune; I'm going to the massive Chinese supermarket next door too!

Has anyone seen the flatform or wedge Birkenstocks in store? I'm interested in the idea of them shortarse but would like to see them in real life before ordering.

I like my white patent Gizeh with pink soles, they were my favourites last summer.

And the navy blue patent ones with red soles. I only wear Gizeh these days, find Madrids too uncomfortable.

Patent cerise from the footshopping website linked to above.

Thinking about patent red...

They had the white with pink in store the other week and kicking myself for not buying them but h was with me and trolley was already bulging (huge paddling pool with filter £30!!)

Hope they still have them next week when I go.

No chinese supermarket here just tk max, Smyths toys and b&q. Oh and poundland might pop in there.

I love the Gizeh but I bought Taboras last summer and they are really comfortable and look good too.

I've got patent turquoise from a few years ago which I love, but I'm thinking I should get something relatively neutral as well.

I'd love a tk Maxx near ours but it's the one on the Purley Way so instead, I just have to try and avoid Ikea...

Oh god ikea. I wish I lived closer to an ikea but at the same time I'm glad I don't. Nearest costco is reading. Im just down the road in Wokingham.

I have turquoise, red and gold/brown.

All costco buys!

Red and navy are always winners

Costco, Ikea, John Lewis at home... They're all close enough for me to 'pop out' to. It's a problem!

I have actually gone for black. Nice, summery colour! Might go crazy though and get some red ones too!

White Mayari have been my colour of choice for about 3-4 years now. I almost always buy on that German site mentioned above.
